I can assume from the picture provided that after Lusamine had the whole Nihilego conundrum, the Aether Foundation disbanded and as a result, so did Team Skull. Guzma and Wicke are on the ground with the protagonist, which makes me think that they have now sided with them. However, it seems Faba might be the new "evil" representative of whats left of the Aether Foundation as he is up with Giovanni, Maxie, Ghetsis, etc. This game will certainly be an amazing follow-up to what felt like an incomplete game, and likely a definitive second favorite of mine only behind the Black and White / 2 games. I honestly can't wait any longer. I'm ridiculously hyped.
Cyrus looks like he watched the last copy of this game picked off the shelf and purchased.
