Characters / Mr. Buddy

Team Buddy

Team Buddy in general

Appearances: What If I Had An Evil Team?

• Big Bad: Of the What If I Had An Evil Team?.
• Brainwashing for the Greater Good: Their modus operandi, making everyone friends via brainwashing.
• Breakout Character: Their debut video is easily the most popular of Mr.Buddy's content. So much so that their story continues beyond the Evil Team video.
• Face–Monster Turn: The fate of any character or Pokémon they capture is to "Buddyize" them, i.e. brainwash them into creepily cheerful 50's versions of themselves. In the first Team Buddy, the only known characters to have been buddyized are the grunts and Professor Fennel.
• Foil: To Team Plasma. Team Plasma wishes to separate the people and Pokémon of Unova but has ill intent underneath, whereas Team Buddy wishes to strengthen the bonds between the people and Pokémon of Unova but has a hidden agenda.
• Not Me This Time: The Team Buddy that tried to force all of Unova into lucid bliss isn't the Team Buddy behind the brainwashing spas of Alola.
• True Companions: The friendship between Buddy, Rosie, Danny and Cherry is genuine.
• Villain Song: "Nicest Team in Town".

Neo Team Buddy

Neo Team Buddy in General

Appearances: Alola Vacation | What If I Made A Pokemon Game | Aether Audio Logs | Team Buddy Returns (Part 1 and 2)

Members: The Boss | Professor Fennel | Scientist B-A5 | Jenny | Jason | Cynthia | Zossie | Professor Kukui | Olivia | Lusamine | Mallow | Kiawe | Gladion | Guzma | Plumeria | Nanu] | Acerola | Wicke | Kris | Chili, Cilan, and Cress | Cherry

• Big Bad Duumvirate: They've teamed up with the Aether Foundation as the villains of Team Buddy Returns. This is Subverted when it's revealed that Team Buddy's only using the Foundation to further their own goals.
• Brainwashing for the Greater Good: Much like their Unovan counterparts, this is their main tool of befriending people, but this time, they're experimenting with Nihilego venom to make the effects stick longer.
• Elite Four: Team Buddy has one, consisting of Kukui, Lusamine, Cynthia, and the evil Mr. Buddy.
• Eviler than Thou: Are more sinister than the original Team Buddy, not just in their methods in trying to make Buddyization permanent, but also in the fact that they are a lot more brutal. This can be shown as they are more willing to physically attack trainers in and out of Pokemon battles.
• Face–Monster Turn: They've got plenty of canon characters on their side, sporting 50s-style makeovers, and considering what happened to Cynthia and the Ultra Recon Squad, it's unlikely the others are willingly on their side.
  • In the Alola Vacation animatic, Professor Fennel is shown to be running the Buddy Salon that Buddyizes Cynthia and her Garchomp. A Buddyized version of Roxie from the Black 2 and White 2 games makes a brief appearance among the crowd of Buddyized patrons.
  • In The Stinger of the Dream Game Video, a solo-mission gone wrong leads to Zossie returning to Ultra Megalopolis with a swell new look and personality, as well as loads of new friends that invade and presumably Buddyize the rest of the Ultra Recon Squad.
  • In Part 1, in addition to Professor Fennel, Zossie, and Cynthia, Professor Kukui has been shown to had been Buddyized during his trip to the new Buddy Salon that opened up prior to the events of "Team Buddy Returns". Also, Kris and the trainers who had taken the Care Package have unknowingly signed up to be Buddyized later on.
  • In Part 2, Olivia has been shown to have been Buddyized in the beginning and its implied that she was demoted to a Trial Captain because of it. She now runs a 50's vintage-styled version of her jewelry store. Kiawe and Mallow have also been Buddyized as well and are seen manning a Musharna Farm to produce more Lucid Mist, but are brought back to normal when the Player, Greaser Buddy, and Lillie managed to create the cure for Buddyization. Lusamine is revealed to have been Buddyized after speaking to Team Buddy's leader. Gladion ends up Buddyized after buying Lillie and the Player enough time to escape from Cynthia and the Grunts.
  • In Part 3, Guzma and the rest of Team Re Skull have been Buddyized. Plumeria and Nanu get Buddyized trying to hold Cynthia and an army of Team Buddy Grunts off to let the Player and Acerola escape. Plumeria and Guzma were later turned back to normal, along with the rest of Team Re Skull. Nanu is later unbuddyized, but Acerola is abducted to be Buddyized. Wicke is later shown Buddyized in a message made by her, Lusamine, and Gladion. Wicke's Buddyization also subtly confirms that all of the trainers in the Care Path have indeed been Buddyized.
  • In Part 4, Kris and the rest of the Care Path Trainers are revealed to have been Buddyized, as well as Chili, Cilan, and Cress. Luckily, they along with Zossie and Acerola are turned back to normal. Cherry is later revealed to be Buddyized into loving the Evil Mr. Buddy.
• Knight of Cerebus: The videos they star in usually take a darker turn whenever they are around.
• Vile Villain, Saccharine Show: They are a lot darker than the original Team Buddy. While they look friendly and pleasant with their 50's aesthetic, they may be one of the darkest Evil Teams in Pokémon, both in canon and the Buddyverse. They're goal is to make everyone friends, but they do it by brainwashing people with Lucid Mist and the aftermath of the Buddyizing Process can be quite unnerving, as shown with Fennel, Zossie, Gladion, and ESPECIALLY Cynthia.

• Foil: They were inspired by the dangerous nature of the wild Pokemon of the Australia region, and were made to be their opposite. Safe and friendly.
• Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul: They're happy, friendly, and smiling all the time, but the process that made them that way is quite sinister, involving lucid mist, Nihilego venom, surgery, "cupcake infusion", and "everything else nice".

• Heel–Face Turn: After his final defeat, he realizes that the bond he's made with his dragon and the bond the player character has with their dragon has given him the realization that everything he thought about dragons was wrong, and he's going to return to his homeland to teach his people what he has learned, even if they're unlikely to follow his words. And should Team Berserk invade the Scandinavia region again, he will try to stop them.
• What Could Have Been: After defeating his Alternate Self in the Dream Game, he respects the Player and states that his life might have went differently if he met him in an earlier time.
• You Will Be Spared: Averted, even though he befriended his stolen starter, he still wants to wipe out every single dragon, it included. After finally being defeated, he pulls a Heel–Face Turn and changes his mind.
