In the original Black and White series games, many Team Plasma Grunts were regular people manipulated by Ghetsis to join the team and liberate Pokémon from people for his own selfish desires, however, many other team members sought power and control over people and the Pokémon they stole. In Black and White 2, a new band of Team Plasma sprang up, with extremely violent values, and led by Colress and Ghetsis under the title "Neo Team Plasma".

In the anime, Barret and Aldith are based off the designs of Neo Team Plasma in Black and White 2.
