Humph! So you’re thinking of interfering with us, Team Magma? Now you listen. Long ago, living things used the land to live and grow. That is why land is all important! It is the cradle of all! That is why Team Magma is dedicated to the expansion of the land mass. It is for further advancement of humankind and Pokémon! And for that, we need the power of what sleeps within this mountain…

I mentioned this in an ask-reply yesterday, but I feel like I should post about it specifically ‘cause it’s pretty sweet. There’s a store on eBay called lotahk that sells custom-made cosplay outfits, wigs, shoes, etc., and one of their regularly listed items is a tailor-made Magma grunt outfit (both male and female). To my knowledge, this is the only place you can straight-up buy a Team Magma outfit anytime. Click the pics above to check out what it looks like, or look at the current listings for the male grunt and female grunt outfits (though those links will expire eventually; look for new listings in their store).
The outfits themselves are $55 plus $35 shipping (from Hong Kong), and you have to send in your body measurements when you order, since they’re tailor-made. I haven’t bought anything from this company myself, but they have 3,000+ positive feedbacks on eBay, so it seems pretty legit. Just thought I’d let people know about this, in case you really, really wanted to rock a Magma costume next time you’re out on the town.
(And y'know, when you think about it, you can easily spend $100 on putting together a 'real’ outfit…so why not just buy one that’s guaranteed to get you laid wherever you go?)
Pokémon Emerald: Mt. Chimney Showdown
MAGMA GRUNT: We're Team Magma! They're Team Aqua! It totally annoys me that they'd use a name like ours!
AQUA GRUNT: We're Team Aqua! They're Team Magma! It burns me up that they'd use such a confusing name!
Oh! And I forgot to add; I usually go for the 'underdog' and it seems that many people love Magma - which pleasantly surprises me. So, I choose Aqua because of this fact as well. x)
My favorite team would have to be Team Rocket. Unlike the other teams, they don't try to convince people that anything they do is for the greater good. They're just genuinely bad dudes and they want you to know it. Their plan also doesn't involve doing anything stupid that would make the world uninhabitable.
Their uniforms are the best, too.
Team Aqua wins at life
So I’m playin’ through Emerald today, like ya do, and I just now got to Slateport, where all of the Aqua grunts are lined up outside the museum. I went and talked to them because I knew there was that one guy who says something lulzy about “reminds me of lining up to buy smash-hit games” or whatever, but next to the dude who can’t read the sign, I encountered something even more hilarious. (Crappy photos of my actual DS because I couldn’t find screencaps of this dialogue online.)
you guys.
I AM LOSING MY SHIT OVER THIS MENTAL IMAGE.

YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND
I know everyone is representing the other teams (which I support Magma for the cool hoodies) but what about Team Rocket the original goons of Pokemon! Look at Giovanni that buffet of manliness!!! xD
I’d still vote for you, Cyrus.
