How did this month end up being a Pokemon season?

Team Star aren't exactly villains but are actually the hardest of the three quests, while Gyms and Titan battles have been done in the past no one has ever done what Team Star did, the only close comparison would be Pokewood Studios as it's the only game where you fight non Pokemon, this is made obvious with the Revavroom cars.
Also instead of waves of grunts you do the new quick battle mechanic which cuts so much time.
Now onto the five themselves; the story goes that all of them were bullied for different reasons, alot of which will feel close to home for many especially if they've been to a school where this sort of thing is overlooked, this will be in order of power.
Giacomo was bullied for being the straight laced rule obsessed student president and was driven out of his role.
Mela was bullied for her appearance which she retaliated with a shift in personality that is aggressive, in reality she's shy although you wouldn't know from the enormous boots.
Atticus was bullied for being too feminine, his interests isolating him from other people, all too familiar for anyone with even remotely different interests to the norm.
Ortega was bullied for his snobbish attitude and looking down on others, out of the team he gets the least sympathy from me.
Eri was bullied as a result of a popularity clash with another girl yet she's the nicest most pleasant girl around, I can believe her to be very beautiful behind the wrestling face paint and wouldn't allow her followers to get hurt.
Team Star under Cassiopeia were made to stop bullying but ended up driving their bullies out of the Academy, Cassiopeia took the fall and left for Galar while the leaders formed their bases and played the villains of the Academy until the player steps in with the returning Cassiopeia to begin Operation Starfall.
Truly the best story of the game.
