Team Plasma



Team Plasma is the antagonistic team in the Unova Region and will appear in Pokemon Black and White. Their uniforms are based on Knights, as they try to enforce justice throughout Unova. They also seem to have a coat of arms on their chest, and an X on their hoods that may or may not be stitching. In a promotional video, it can be seen that there is a banner with their symbol on it with a crowd gathered around. You first meet them in Karakusa Town. The name "Plasma" comes from a plasma torch which combines the electricity and fire, as Reshiram and Zekrom are Electric and Fire types.

There are rumors that Team Plasma will return in generation VI in the new Pokemon games Sun and Moon versions with new Pokemon, 5 Admins, 2 female Admins and 3 male Admins. Team Plasma new goal is to brainwash Pokemon and make them turn against their trainers.

Pokmon Black and White
Team Plasma's goal is to free all Pokemon of the world. This causes the world to be seperated into black and white, hence the name. The goals are said to be good but their methods are a little bit too extreme when it comes to reaching that goal. They appear several times in the game, including the ending. sgsg

Karakusa Town
They first appeared in Karakusa Town giving the townspeople the speech about freeing their Pokemon. Ghetsis, one of the Seven Sages of Team Plasma, tries to convince the people to free their Pokemon but they are left undecided. Team Plasma then left the scene in a formation. The player character and Cheren was watching the speech, including N, who introduces himself and challenges the player character to see how they raise their Pokemon.

Abandoned Lot of Dreams
The player character and Belle encounter Team Plasma next in the Abandoned Lot of Dreams where they try to kidnap a Munna to change the dreams of the people so they will release their Pokemon. The player character stops them and it eventually leads to one of the Plasma Grunts to hit the Munna. Ghetsis then appears and scolds them into hitting the Pokemon. The grunts run away and fails to use the Munna for their plans.

Water Vein
Team Plasma was next seen in the Water Vein where they had to resort kidnapping a little kid's Pokemon. The player challenges the Plasma grunts and even leads to a double battle with Cheren. Once defeated, they flee.

Shippou City
The player character encounters N again and N challenges the player character to a battle. Once defeated, he tells you how friendly your Pokemon are. Team Plasma then appears and steals a skull of a fossil and flees to Yaguruma Forest.

N's Castle (Spoilers)
This is the castle that rises up and surrounds the Pokemon League on N's command. Ghetsis says that it has been being built for centuries, as a hideout for Team Plasma. Here, we can see that some Plasma members are beginning to regret their plans of seperating Pokemon. The player explores the castle, where they meet the Dark Trinity, Ghetsis 's henchmen, several times, telling the player to come face N. One member tells them of N's room in the castle, where everything is childish, as we soon find out that N is still young at heart. In the back, there sits N, where a scene of Reshiram/Zekrom is played, as a dramatic entry for N's deity. The players White/Dark Stone also flashes, and another Resiram/Zekrom scene plays for you. You must face the Pokemon, and befriend it to defeat N. After you face N, Ghetsis shows up and gives the story a real twist, saying that he is the REAL leader of Team Plasma. Then, you must face Ghetsis himself, finally. After that battle, Team Plasma is basically disassembled, and N get's on Reshiram/Zekrom's and rides away after talking with you about what he's seen in you. Then, the game is over.

Motives
They do want the Legendary Pokemon Reshiram and Zekrom to separate Pokemon and people, making the world "Black and White". N started these motives, and were to be strictly followed. The grunts, as well as N's right hand Commander, Ghetsis, enforced these motives throught Unova. When defeat N in his castle, Ghetsis says that N has lost sight of the common goal, and strips him of his title of "King". After the incident, N stops thinking like this, he disbands Team Plasma, leaves, and tells you he will travel Unova searching for answers.

Members

 * Ghetsis - (Commander and Right Hand)

Trivia

 * Team Plasma is the first team to have none of the admins battle the player character throughout the game.(Besides 1st Gen's Team Rocket)
 * The 'corruption' near the start of the Grunt Music (before the looppoint) could be a reference to the fact that Ghetsis is the one really controlling Team Plasma, not N, corrupting the real intentions of the team.
 * This is the first team that is trying to free all the pokemon and not enslave them.
