::::My sentiment sort of is, if "villainous team" is indeed the most common/prominent official term, then that's what we should use. It doesn't really feel appropriate for us to replace the term just because it feels like the official term isn't fitting enough. That doesn't mean we can't also put a note in the intro that says something like "Despite the name, newer games feature teams that are less traditionally villainous but still play an antagonistic role" or something of the sort. As for whether certain other organizations fit into this article, I'd say only if they've been grouped with the other villainous teams officially. If not, a separate, perhaps broader page, or category, could be made for those.

== Aether Foundation/Macro Cosmos ==
What is the current consensus on having them listed on this page? [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Villainous_team#Aether_Foundation.3F Back in 2017], the consensus seemed to be that the Aether Foundation was neither a "team" nor really villainous as a whole outside of a few members.
However, given that the two most recent gens have had "villainous teams" that aren't actually evil (and even Team Skull before them was more sympathetic than all prior teams and not taken very seriously by most of the characters), it might be worth revisiting.
I don't mind either way, as long as there's consensus on keeping them listed here or not. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 16:32, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
