I’d say Team Aqua. Along with their blue color scheme and pirate-like theme, I found the AS depiction of them being closer to what I strive for, meaning they want to make life better for wildlife. Likewise, I felt their developmental arc was stronger than that of Team Magma as Archie wanted to destroy human settlements for Pokémon, but realized the consequences of releasing Kyogre and came to see that one wanting to help wildlife must also think about people, which is something I’ve come to appreciate. Team Magma’s still cool though, with OR Maxie realizing one has to think about Pokémon too, and not just focus on humanity.

I’ve seen you confirm preferring Team Magma. Why do you prefer them?
