    What is your opinion of Team Flare in X/Y? What did you think about their plot and plan in general? And what about those stylish outfits?

    Team flare is the most stylish for sure xD If you take lysandre out though, the team is basically about money, they all need money to buy a place in lysandre's new world, which is weird, but besides that it's a pretty cool evil team.

    I actually wasn't a huge fan of their outfits, but I loved their sunglasses! I also didn't agree much with their goal as much as I agreed with their reasoning for it, and was more than willing to fling my character at the group to join if the option was accessible (which it isn't D:).

    Their outfits were amazing. And so were their tantrums when defeated.
    They never struck me as the brightest group, seeming to just follow Lysandre's plan without questioning it, even if they were promised to be safe. 'Course the same could be said for Galactic.

    To be honest, I disliked Team Flare. After how gloriously dark Gen V was (for a Pokémon game), Team Flare was like a complete U-Turn. Oh well, though, they were kinda quirky and amusing at times.

    Yeah, for being the arguably most stylish and bloodthirsty teams in the games, they were pretty... strange. At least they didn't have a hive mind like Galactic did in the PokeSpe manga. That was weird.

    But I liked them. They were funny, somewhat competent, and I'd say Lysandre is one of the three most awesome/dangerous leaders of all the main series games, along with Ghetsis and Giovanni.

    ... Guys, I actually have something to confess. I... am a member of the stylish Team Flare! All hail our glorious and stylish leader Lysandre!

    I love Team Flare! I found their personality rather hilarious compared to other organizations. I thought their design for the male mainly reminds me of Chili from BW. Overall they're one of my favorite organizations. I wish they were more challenging though.

    I really liked Team Flare. They were pretty close to completing their plan until I showed up. Whenever I think of Team Flare I always think of their fashion obsession.

    As much as I liked Lysandre as a villain, his team was composed of absolute morons.

    Think about it. They're willing to pay 5,000,000 P just to join a team all about killing anyone who isn't them? Sorry, but that isn't exactly going to attract an army of philosophers and rational geniuses. Plus, I found their suits, haircuts, and glasses to be insufferable.

    However, their biggest failing is by comparison. While their goals may be rather similar, Team Galactic's members were shown to be generally more idealistic and dedicated to their cause (even if Cyrus was lying through his teeth to them), while Team Flare's recruits are just petty hypocrites. Team Plasma, meanwhile, was full of people who genuinely believed in their cause, and were doing whatever they could to make the world a better place for everyone. They don't even compare to Team Rocket, who at least have the decency to own up to their villainy.

    I personally didn't like Team Flare. They were kind of just there to be there. They blindly followed Lysandre (who is just plain crazy) to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money. The members were really ditsy too. After all, they SPENT money to JOIN Team Flare.
    When we first encounter them, they didn't really leave a lasting impression on me since they don't really do anything since they weren't even near the person they were trying to rob from. I really was disappointed with Team Flare.

    I liked Team Flare's goal, design (Chili's long-lost family ftw), and Lysandre, but I felt the people who joined weren't the brightest (that, or they were wealthy assholes who wanted to rid the world of non-wealthy people) and their plan was executed poorly. Also sort of wish you got to know more about Malva, since she was a member.

    I think Team Flare was a good evil organization. I say good, not great, because they didn't really stand out above the teams from previous generations, but they weren't worse either. My only complaint, and I'm pretty sure this has been mentioned before, is that Lysandre seems to be the only person who actually knows what's going on. Everyone else, including the admins, just do whatever he says, seemingly without even knowing what they're really doing.

    Oh yeah, and I hate them for leaving the huge crater in Geosenge Town. Was that really necessary?

    Their clothing design and design in general was pretty Stylish. The grunts were kind of annoying, I wish they were more of a challenge instead of being a complete drag and waste of time, goes for the admins as well. Make it to where they don't all look the same, like for instance Team Aqua and Team Magma. Lysandre, he had a good idea for a plot, and when I first played it, I actually was surprised when I found out he was the Team Flare leader lol.

    I liked them overall, even if the plot wasn't executed that well. I liked their designs and overall motive, and their admins had amusing designs as well. It would have been nice to see them use a wider variety of Pokémon though, but I still enjoyed battling them.

    At first I didn't mind them. They seemed a bit on the generic side, but that's okay as long as they're not the usual animal lover demonization that we see in so many forms of media. ...And then Lysandre turns out to be exactly that: Just yet another misanthrope/animal lover demonization, just like Team Plasma. God, I am sick and tired of animal lovers always made out to be these evil scumbags especially when people who hate and kill animals are constantly made into these heroic figures. Yeah, it is kind of a big deal for me, sue me.

    I actually liked Team Flare, as they used a nice variety of Pokémon I felt, and the whole genocide and wanting to kill everything for themselves role was quite dark. That and their stylish outfits, they had some pretty funny dialogue. They're not my favorite villainous team, but Lysandre had a very ambitious goal going for him. So if nothing else, they were funny.

    I liked their team choices, design, and music especially.. it was amazing. But as far as their goals and ambitions they were very bland and hard to understand; to this point I still can't fully comprehend what they were trying to achieve. Their boss was equally underwhelming and I don't really miss them. Wish they could've been expanded upon a little more. Also we needed more Flare admins yes.

    I liked Team Flare. The outfits were cool, and the theme for them was awesome. Pity they tried to literally kill everyone though.
