Game Freak just unveoled Team Yell, and I have mixed feelings about it.
I like the punk rock theme. I think it's a fun idea, and it'll probably give us some awesome battle music. But, they do look very reminiscent of Team Skull. We'll have to see what kind of personality the team has, but it's shaping up to be a lot like Team Skull.
Also, Team Yell? Really? We're calling it Team Yell?
What are you guys' thoughts?
 
I must admit, at first I wasn't sure what I should think of them, they looked like Team Skull 2.0. However, I kinda started to like them. Their outfits have a nice color combination. About the name, well, it may not be the best name for a team, guess it's a hint that they will "yell" a lot or at least being (very) loud most of the time. Could be better, but I can deal with it.

Team Yell sounds dumb, doesn’t roll off the tongue that well. They should have called them Team Metal or Team Screech.
 
I think Marnie is really adorable! Team Yell does remind me a little bit of Team Skull but more punk and less silly dancing.

I wasn't really sure on the new evil team, but they are OK now. Like others have said, they do remind me of team skull too, but this time, I don't believe they are kids? Not really sure, but hey, I'll still like this game even with the new evil team. Their name is actually pretty silly and funny. :p

Team Metal wouldn't really have worked since they're based around the Punk scene from the UK way back when with the Sex Pistols, the Who and all of that stuff. Makes sense given that's a genre of music is known for originating there and I guess most punk is kind of just yelling (though even then, "yell" isn't a commonly used word here, though I guess not EVERYTHING can be UK inspired).

Team Yell does sound dumb though, even if it makes sense.

Saying that, I would have preferred Team Metal given metal music also has its roots in the UK. I feel you could also get a more unique looking aesthetic with that theme too.
 
...weaponized fan club...hoo boy.
Can you give them one of Marnie's socks to make them go away? XD
Admittedly, I do think they could've come up with a better name. Compared to past villains, it doesn't have as much oomph. Still, I'm willing to see what they have up their sleeves. (hopefully it isn't actually one of Marnie's socks)
