i dont know enough abt pokemon to do this bit but theres gotta be a case for Rosa & Karl as Team Rocket? idk what team rocket actually does besides being queer icons

they steal pokemon and exploit those stolen pokemon, their motto in the Team Rocket HQ in Gold/Silver and the remakes is literally "Steal Pokémon for profit. Exploit Pokémon for profit. All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket"

Jesse & James are literally the part-of-history of Team Rocket lmao (not counting Team Rainbow Rocket, Ghetsis and Lysandre are obviously queer icons)

In a Mystery Dungeon scenario Enver Hoxha would be Turtwig and Mao Zedong would be a Tepig

Feinberg would have Tinkaton I think.

Posadas would have a team built around 5 Pokémon that can use explosion and a Finizen.
