I mean, compare Team Rocket and Team Plasma. The effect of what they're doing to an average Pokemon trainer are similar: take them away. With Team Plasma, that's just as much through propaganda as convincing them, but there's some noble goals and little direct damage. Team Rocket, instead, just steals all these Pokemon, mutilates them for profit (remember GSC's Slowpoketails?), causes random destruction through its evolution beams and such, and generally causes as much harm as long as it leads them to profit.
The reason you notice it more might partially because you're paying more attention, but also because the game spends more and more time to point it out to us. B2W2 is probably worst for this, considering its use of white Team Plasma to point this all out to us, but look at the length of any of the bad guys' speeches in the last two generations. Cyrus in Platinum is prone to this as well.
Well, Team Plasma are the scariest of the teams we've had so far, because they were trying to take away the one thing that the Pokemon world couldn't do without. If Pokemon went, it'd take time for the world to adapt to not using them for transport of cargo or people (Lapras and Machamp, for example). It's not exactly "dark", but it's quite powerful. Ghetsis raised N for one purpose, so that's pretty bad.
