Hello and welcome to Fashion Analysis, where I discuss what’s hot in fashion! For today I’ll be talking about the villainous teams from the Hoenn region, Team Magma and Team Aqua. Both teams not only went through different outfits, but staff changes too! Makes things more exciting, don\u2019t you think?<\/span>


TEAM AQUA\u2019S ORIGINAL LOOK<\/strong>


\"\"\u00a0<\/span>\"\"
\n
The uniforms for Team Aqua\u2019s grunts is fairly simple overall. Both the guys and ladies have blue bandanas and pants with the team\u2019s logo imprinted on them. They also wear black and white striped shirts, with the ladies\u2019s a little smaller. The grunts look more to be sailors than pirates, although there probably isn\u2019t too much of a difference between them!
\n<\/span>
\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The outfits for Team Aqua\u2019s admins, Shelly and Matt, are slightly different from the grunts. Shelly\u2019s pants has the symbols orange instead of white. That\u2019s unusual as the colors didn\u2019t match. She also has on a vest over a black shirt, which compliments her well. Matt is often seen having only a vest and his bare chest showing, but he sometimes wears a sports shirt. I think I prefer him with a sports shirt because the design is simple but works for him.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Team Aqua\u2019s leader, Archie, wears an all black outfit saved for his bandana. He also has a chain necklace and the Team Aqua logo attached to his clothing. Have to say, he looks pretty good like that! As a leader, it works well for him. I don\u2019t usually comment on someone\u2019s facial hair, but Archie\u2019s beard could use some trimming.<\/p>\n

<\/span>TEAM AQUA\u2019S NEW LOOK<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"<\/p>\n

Well, this is quite a drastic change from the simple outfits the grunts were wearing before. Both the men and women have torn clothing to go with the pirate theme, so it makes me wonder why they didn\u2019t do that in the first place. The men\u2019s pants are the same color as before while the women\u2019s pants are black. I would prefer if the women\u2019s pants are the same length as the men\u2019s instead of very short like that. The stripes are blue, making the shirts brightly colored, while the bandannas are black. Now that I think about it, the colors of the bandannas and the stripes have been switched. The grunts are also wearing stockings with the designs matching their shirts. The shoes are oddly designed, though if you\u2019re a villain team that wants to expand the ocean then it works. Practically sometimes does have to come before fashion.\u00a0<\/span>

\n\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Team Aqua apparently has a staff change, though they\u2019re still named Shelly and Matt. I wonder if that\u2019s their real names or Archie calls them by those names. Anyways, enough of that. Shelly\u2019s new outfit is much more bold than the last admin\u2019s clothing, although I have a few issues. Are what she\u2019s wearing pant-boots? I don\u2019t see those too often. It\u2019s also designed to have some skin showing; I\u2019m not a fan of that particular choice. Her gold buckle also seems a little too flashy for my tastes. Matt also has those unusual pant-boots and gold buckle. He has no shirt on, like the admin before him, with Team Aqua\u2019s logo tattooed on his chest. I can think a few reasons why that isn\u2019t a good idea, especially if he\u2019s in a relationship with someone.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/span>Dear lord, where do I start? Is that a wetsuit Archie\u2019s wearing? Like the grunt\u2019s new shoes, I guess it has it uses. He too also has the golden buckles along a large gold necklace. I much prefer the simple chain necklace he had on before. I\u2019m not sure what is attached to the golden buckles, likely some kind of tailcoat. He still has on a bandanna, though it\u2019s lighter colored compare to his wetsuit. His original outfit is much better, in my opinion.\u00a0<\/span>

TEAM MAGMA\u2019S ORIGINAL LOOK<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The outfits for Team Magma\u2019s grunts seem to have a little more going on than their rivals. Both the men and women are wearing red hoodies over black clothing. I don\u2019t know about you but I\u2019m getting a cult vibe here, especially with Team Magma\u2019s logo and the horns on the hoodies. Unlike Team Aqua, the men have long pants while the ladies wear a skirt. Not a fan of their leg warmers and wristbrands, but they\u2019re not the worse accessories I\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The uniforms for the admins, Tabitha and Courtney, are very similar to the ones the grunts are wearing. The only difference is both of them have a stripe or two on their outfits and Courtney\u2019s skirt is slightly longer. The stripes are probably to indicate they\u2019re higher rank officers. It would be better if the admins\u2019 uniforms are different to set them more apart from the grunts.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"\"\"

\nTeam Magma\u2019s leader is Maxie, and he has on a high collared shirt. I didn\u2019t like the lava design at first, but then it grew on me. It certainly does fit the team\u2019s theme! The logo being red is a nice touch, too. His pants and shoes are simple, but I don\u2019t think those need any crazy designs. Like Archie, the overall look works well for Maxie.<\/p>\n

<\/span>TEAM MAGMA\u2019S NEW LOOK<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Team Magma\u2019s grunts also have new outfits. They still wear hoodies and leg warmers (with slight different designs) as before, but now they\u2019re also wearing long-sleeved undershirts. Considering Hoenn is a tropical climate region and the nature of their hideout, the uniforms must be very hot for them! Their original outfits were on the heavy material side too, but manageable. I\u2019m still getting a cult vibe from this team. The women\u2019s shoes are decent enough and I like them better than the previous ones they were wearing. The men\u2019s shoes, though… I\u2019m confused over its design.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Team Magma also gets a staff change with the admins being… Courtney and Tabitha. This time the admin\u2019s uniforms are different from the grunts.Their gloves have a slight different design, mostly having gold added. Courtney likely has on a dress (or a jacket over a dress) with some frills and a hoodie attached. It does look cute on her, I admit. I\u2019m actually lukewarm towards her boots. Tabitha wears leg warmers and an undershirt, like the male grunts, together with a vest hoodie and shorter pants. I\u2019m even more baffled over the design of his shoes than the grunt\u2019s. Are his leg warmers and shoes attached together? And I thought Team Aqua\u2019s pant boots are ridiculous.<\/p>\n

<\/span>\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Maxie\u2019 is wearing much more clothing than his previous outfit. I already mentioned Team Magma\u2019s uniforms are not the most ideal for Hoenn\u2019s climate, and his is no exception. He has on a coat over a vest and pants. Not only that, he also wears an undershirt and leg warmers. I don\u2019t think I can wear that much clothing during the summer. A new addition is a gold belt, much simpler than Archie\u2019s and his admins. Never seen him wear glasses before, and not sure if I\u2019m digging that particular accessory.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Now that I talked about the new looks of both teams, how about a quick comparison? Even though I have some issues with Team Aqua\u2019s uniforms, their outfits fit for Hoenn much better than Team Magma. The region is well known for its vast ocean, so I can see why Team Aqua went with those clothing choices. Team Magma does look more professional, however. If I were a trainer who comes across the team\u2019s path, I would take them more seriously than Team Aqua. I just hope their outfits won\u2019t give them too much trouble during extremely hot days. The different styles of both teams\u2019 clothing does showcase their rivalry well, Team Magma wanting to expand the land while Team Aqua wanting to expand the ocean.<\/p>\n

<\/span>And that\u2019s all for today\u2019s edition of Fashion Analysis! Tune in next time for more on my thoughts concerning the latest trends in fashion. Stay fabulous, everyone!<\/p>\n
