i remember in xy where they defeated ash and clemont with wobboffett if it weren’t for froakie who at the time was a wild pokemon and even he got hurt badly
This is why I love the manga so much. In the manga team rocket retire and literally live happily ever after together, they even have a kid together. It’s so cute! (Meowth spends his days relaxing and such)
Not to mention how Jessie and James had hobbies that would sometimes correspond with Ash and friends such as Jessie and contest and sure James wasn't as obvious but he would join in on stuff as well!
2:35 its explained in journeys that meowth learned english after wanting to be with a trainer, he thought that if he learned how to talk like her he could be with her
Sounds like a retcon to me. The original reason they originally gave for Meowth wanting to learn to speak was because he wanted to impress a female Meowth that was owned by a rich lady, and he thought he could be with her (the Meowth, btw) if he learned to talk
fun fact: not even just in the anime but in the mainline games team rocket is the only organization who's not only been the main antagonist in more than one generation but their also the only organization that's been active outside of their introduction region. With that said while meowth did have a influence in the rockets popularity it helped that jessie and james were more fleshed out than other antagonist. I'm sure the new villains of the anime have their own personal quarks but their going to have a hard ass time over shadowing the rockets popularity oh yea one more fun fact: apparently the rockets were going to be more serious villains throughout best wishes run time (that's why whenever ash and friends beat them instead of them blasting off again they got away on jet packs) but the Japanese fanbase hated this and loved the more goofy villains they used to be so they were later reverted back to such
It’s so weird how Jessie didn’t catch a proper Pokémon in the journeys series at all. That was weird I thought. But it was cool seeing both her and James have a full team of six Pokémon by the end of it as well.
She should have Kept Chewtle it would have been her first cute / baby pokemon. If they didnt get their Unova mons in the end they would have had more openings on their teams for Galar and future cameos. I feel like the main reason they returned their Unova mons is Because Woobat and Frillish were the only ones on Jessie's team that evolve yet. So one can come back evolved and show growth.
Ah yes, Team Rocket Trio are truly famous. Such a great memories. Ngl, they are still evil but they have a good side in them as they help Ash and his friends when it comes to facing against Team Villains like Team Flare from the Kalos series which that was the best examples as i agreed! Also, rest in peace for the VA of Jessie and Misty tho, she'll be missed.
I think a lot of the love also comes from the movies, they are shown to be willing to go really far to protect their Pokémon, even just as far as Ash would go for his
They also tended to save the day in almost all the movies, surviving the shenanigans of Legendary pokemon. Which is also why they were never cut from Team Rocket, Giovanni never got Pokemon from them but did get primo intelligence on regions, teams, and superior Pokemon. An anime parallel to Ashs' that focused on Giovanni making moves based on their intel would not be out of place.
I think what was even more frustrating than the 600+ episodes that forced TR on viewers is the fact that we saw ALL of them thrive in fields outside of working under Giovanni, BUT they opted not to pursue those goals in order to catch Pikachu... D/P series showed us Meowth's amazing ramen noddle making skills with his claws ironically enough at a shop owned by a dude who couldn't cut it in Team Rocket! Jessie was amazing in contests in Sinnoh. I was proud of her WINNING 3 out of 5 contest ribbons and even making it into the semi-finals of the grand festival; remember James dressed up as her alter ego to win a ribbon and Dawn's doppelganger gave her ribbon to Jessie. I forgot what James might've been good at, but he has the best heart out of anyone in the group plus he's from a rich family so he'd be fine. I felt the biggest slap in the face when the Ashime...I mean anime let Ash go and we NEVER truly got an answer to what a Pokemon Master is. Even WORSE was that we saw the trio continue on their stalking journey to get his electric rat. WHAT A WASTE! I believe we even got a journeys episode where their 'rivals' Butch and Cassidy QUIT TR to thrive in another field of work. WHAT A FREAKING WASTE!!!
Team always been interesting to me I don’t really see them as villains but as bad guys and it’s always fun to see them even when they get annoying but I really love them their personality and their dynamic was cool James is my favorite out of them and seeing the moments like with mimiku and the rest of their Pokémon through out the series and help saving the world in Pokémon xyz is amazing
I love Team Rocket from the anime, they were hilarious, but they knew how to be tragic when necessary, even by the terms of the anime, I always ended up cracking a smile every single time I saw them without Ash being there in some way
Team Rocket was funny (and flashy) to watch, but I also found it cool that they aren’t 100% evil and have some moments where they could be considered heroes.
I love team rocket! It’s incredible how they were in every episode of the Pokémon anime up until the black and white series. I didn’t mind how they didn’t appear in every single episode afterwards. Trust me, in most episodes of journeys it worked so well when Ash had his world championship battles working his way up to the masters eight.
Team Rocket (Specifically Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet) are iconic characters despite being main antagonists or secondary antagonists in later series. Team Rocket does show that they’re not completely evil with certain moments in the anime. They show they have humanity unlike most villains in the series. Despite failing to catch Pikachu, they truly love their own Pokémon, even their released Pokémon and their backstories had a depth to team Rocket which you can’t help but sympathize with
I am a 2000s kid i used to watch pokemon as a kid and somehow i didnt remember the charcaters when rewatching the show when ash left by saying i like pokemon so why not might be one of the best decisions i made and im truly grateful to be on this journey havent finished the show yet just reached journeys not long ago but still team rocket are one of if not mh favorite characters in the entire showi even get happy anytime i hear the og prepare for trouble and make it double
Even in the first season team rocket was likeable. While the are there to steal Pikachu they helpd them alot in all season like cheering for Pikachu before his rematch with LT. Surge. And like you said the bond with there pokemon made them more human then your standerd villan team, espacally the rease episode are so sad.
You know what would’ve been the best send off to the iconic quartet? If Ash and Pikachu finally battled the entire organization of Team Rocket. The story would go as Team Rocket quartet finally caught Pikachu and presented him to the boss. The boss would seem incredibly disappointed and angry since he almost never saw Ash until Meowth points out the time they were in Unova. Giovanni then would keep the Pikachu for a moment and just dismiss them for future updates. Jessie and James would be celebrating with Meowth imagining finally being in the boss’s lap. But then Wobbuffet points out the blatant problem with what they just did after piecing two and two together, wouldn’t Pikachu be on the Boss’s lap? Meowth denies this as defeating Persian and Alolan Meowth was too important at the moment. (Not sure much with Ash’s side of this story but I at least know what happens at this point) After some time, Ash would barge in with all his Pokemon (yes, I suppose Avengers Endgame style) to finally defeat the Team Rocket organization. Ash’s team basically has the advantage since the grunts don’t compare to a champion. Archer and the other HGSS admins would appear, but not as important. Once in the office the secretary with the Alolan Meowth would try to fight to stall a bit more time for Giovanni’s new weapon, but the Persian would fight with Ash for basically being abused as a test subject after being replaced by Pikachu. Then Giovanni gets ready to battle Ash with his new weapon, Mega Mewtwo Y mind controlling Pikachu. After studying all Ash’s previous Pokemon league battles, he would use Pikachu to defeat all of Ash’s Pokemon. Ash would go into the line of fire (or Thunderbolt in this case) to try to save Pikachu. The Team Rocket quartet would then realize how meaningless the end goal was as earlier, they were told they were taking an early retirement as a “reward” with promised final pay. But they wanted more, which was already given in their multiple encounters with “those twerps”. They wanted to “shine” and to “matter”, something they got with their own “journey”. After rounding up all the other Pokémon they encountered along the way, they all fire attacks on Mega Mewtwo Y to save Ash and Pikachu. Mewtwo would obviously reflect it, but then Wobbuffet would reflect it leading to a game of Pong, with Meowth actually sneaking behind to deal Mewtwo with Fury Swipes. Because of terrible physical defense, Mewtwo would temporarily collapse, freeing Pikachu from the mind control. Ash would then ask why they would help him, but they would just saying, “just repaying the real boss of us”, with Ash and Pikachu making a big “what?” face. Giovanni would then turn Mewtwo into Mega Mewtwo X to beat up all of Team Rocket’s Pokemon, then attacking Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet. Then this leads into a big ultimate final battle, with Ash and Pikachu doing the 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt as the last attack. Afterwards Mewtwo would be free and thanks Ash and Pikachu for always fighting against bad people and takes away the grunt’s Pokemon to a better place. The police arrest the everyone from Team Rocket, with Jessie, James, and Meowth turning themselves in. The secretary would be freaking out along with the Alolan Meowth as Nanu goes to pick up Persian and tells Giovanni “well, you known across the world, happy?” as he walks off with Giovanni wondering what went wrong. Jessie and James tell Ash thank you for starting their “journey” and sorry for trying to kidnap Pikachu, with Meowth having a one-to-one with Pikachu with Wobbuffet joining in for one last “Wobbuffet!” before the are taken away. Ash says “until we meet again” with Pikachu smiling with a big “Pika!”. Nanu would then tell Bewear what happened and Bewear would rush in with Stufful on the head, get every one of their Pokémon, and bail Jessie, James, Meowth, and Wobbuffet out of jail. They would then all go on their own Journey to get stronger and battle Ash and Pikachu not as villains, but as fellow Pokemon trainers. Nanu would say “they had the same eyes as “that kid”, so who knows what they can do, but they got something, and that’s good enough to start something” with the final scene being Jessie and James finally reunited with Arbok and Weezing like how Ash and Pikachu reunited with Butterfree in that last episode, with Meowth finishing the episode off with “as the journey continues”, with an added “Wobbuffet!”.
Gave me a heart attack when they said they were disbanding tbh i wish they could've reached horizons and had flashbacks of ash everytime lico or roy did something just like ash did that would've been so good../
1. james had blue hair? I always thought it was purple. 2. what I love most about team rocket is that they felt like actual characters, as well as being good Saturday morning cartoon villain. 3. their villain song, double trouble, absolutely slaps.
*1:51* Dang Ash, I know there is times that he is savage but I didn't know it was this savage, also they made Bewear really powerful that beat 1 Ultra Beast in a fight with straight hands (Team Rocket are fun to watch but in Journeys they got really dirty having the less screentime possible and that using this Pokeball machine that doesnt work most of times [Like what Ash and Goh doing when Team Rocket does a lot of work just to get 2 Pokeballs based on luck], is kinda cool to see their old Pokemon coming but they give to the last 11 episodes on Journeys instead of middle episodes that could fit way better than some fillers in Journeys)
As much as team rocket is so beloved, I do know that Zactoshi isn’t very fond of the trio 😂😅 I still love watching his Pokemon videos cuz they’re fun to watch and I won’t deny that I kinda do agree with him about how team rocket can sometimes overstay their welcome way too much, for example in the indigo league where team rocket had way too much screentime than the actual Pokemon league, especially in the ash vs Ritchie episode where they were partly responsible that ash got a very bad defeat against Ritchie. But other than that, I do still like team rocket. I just wish they had a way better conclusion where they could quit team rocket and live a better and happier humble life like Butch and Cassidy did.
I love it how it was casually established that Jessie, James, and Meowth exist in the Game's continuity despite there being no explanation as to where they came from. Though the game's version of Meowth initially couldn't talk, Pokémon Masters did end up retconning this so he could. Ash literally had to have multiverse shenanigans happen in order to get him in the game's continuity (his appearance in Pokémon Masters) whereas Team Rocket just exists and aside from not having the relationship with Ash they're practically identical to their anime counterparts.
Wobuffet in general is more busted than some people give it credit for. It's notorious in nuzlockes for being able to randomly kill a team member if you run into one, and it has a pretty good competitive career thanks to stuff like it's high HP, counter and mirror coat to reflect damage back, and even encore and destiny bond as well
@@Pokiiii62 That's fair. It's a shame you couldn't get a snippet but not worth risking copyright. It's a good video. I do enjoy the campiness of Team Rocket
Bro if it wasn’t for team rocket I probably would have stoped watching Pokémon a long time ago there easily the best characters in the show and most people who watched Pokémon I know agrees
I love Team Rocket!! My favourite member is Meowth idk the fact he was the only Pokémon we knew at the time that can talk made me really irritated in him and plus he’s just adorable!!!!🥹🥹🥹😸😸😸
What are your thoughts on Team Rocket during the Best Wishes seasons where Jessie, James and Meowth changed their iconic uniforms to black, they were serious, had mature tones, and played the role of spies gathering intel during their time in Unova. While I liked Team Rocket as comic relief characters. In my opinion James, Jessie and Meowth were written well in Best Wishes like they were in a underground mafia organization that is Team Rocket
Pokeeeee I’m so sorry I haven’t been commenting!! Team rocket is the best I’m so sad that they left but I would rlly appreciate if u did full backstory for Meowth :))
Remember that time when they (i think) said ash will appear atleast ONCE in horizons? Never found him, and i think all of us never will.......... Also team rocket we're really good.
There is one thing you missed. The heads of the company and the producers have said that we kight see Ash again someday.... and its most likey when he returns.... Team Rocket will follow.
If Team Rocket actually did succeed with taking Pikachu with no other obstacles, I have a feeling they would return him to Ash and go “best two out of three”.
Also I don't get how people find full stops passive-aggressive 😭😭😭😭😭 like if a kid goes up to you and says "i want some candy." Y'ALL THINK THAT WOULD BE MENACING 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
The problem is they weren't allowed to grow or move on. They were stuck, which annoys me because near the end, it didn't seem like the writers wanted then in the show. They have done the right things numerous times and won because they are good people, the just don't seem to realise that. One day I hope they get their happy ending.
The problems with Team Plasma and Team Rocket in Unova was because of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. As the crux of the plan was an earthquake machine and there was visible destruction of property. They were forced to abort the storyline which got worse with Black and white 2. And since the show is simply a toy commercial. The showrunners were forced to quickly rewrite the arc to fit in with the sequels.
Actually episodes are planned and made 5 months before they are aired so even if the Team Rocket VS Team Plasma was aired the anime would have been the same at least until the Moeletta arc.
To protect the world from devastation to unit our people in our nation to announce evil from true and love to extend our reach to the stars above Jessie, James team rocket blast of at speed of light surrender now are prepared to fight meowth thats right The true evil team of Pokemon nothing can change that I hope we can see them again, My childhood
I find it hilarious that a small amount of Unova Team Rocket fans (They really are a small amount yes many people like them in Unova but also like their goofy side) Think they should remain serious and humorless because they are villains. Plankton. Robbie Rotten. Dr Drakken. Dr.Doofenshmirtz. Mojo Jojo. They would like to get a word with them LOL.
I can't believe we're in an era where the new fans don't know who don't know who Jessie, James, and Meowth are.
REAL BRO 😭
And they actually defeated Ash with out any tricks in an actual battle which was cool to see in the Alola anime season
Yeah Ash got reckt lol. 😂
i remember in xy where they defeated ash and clemont with wobboffett if it weren’t for froakie who at the time was a wild pokemon and even he got hurt badly
Well, Ash sucks.
RIP Rachael Lillis, you will always blast off at the speed of light.
Still so sad man...
😢
I know it’s sad but you didn’t have to do a pun💀
@@kickingitwithlondyn9901thats not a pun
I wish they actually had a storyline about them leaving Team Rocket and live normal lives.
THATS PERFECT!!
Look up the video “Team Rocket is Blasting Back.” You’ll love it!
Yeah, that would be fitting.
This is why I love the manga so much. In the manga team rocket retire and literally live happily ever after together, they even have a kid together. It’s so cute! (Meowth spends his days relaxing and such)
There are actually a couple fan comics about such a thing that I saw dubbed on UA-cam a while ago (I can't remember where I'd find them again)
Meowth learned to talk for the same reason and at the same time that he learned to walk on his hind legs: To impress a girl.
Not to mention how Jessie and James had hobbies that would sometimes correspond with Ash and friends such as Jessie and contest and sure James wasn't as obvious but he would join in on stuff as well!
"MY COLLECTION"
@@dralx2042 the bottle caps 🗣️
James had a couple pokeringer contests, and his bottle cap collection.
2:35 its explained in journeys that meowth learned english after wanting to be with a trainer, he thought that if he learned how to talk like her he could be with her
Sounds like a retcon to me. The original reason they originally gave for Meowth wanting to learn to speak was because he wanted to impress a female Meowth that was owned by a rich lady, and he thought he could be with her (the Meowth, btw) if he learned to talk
That’s not true considering meowsie literally comes back in journeys
3:32 While it was one of the most notable, even more surprisingly team rocket has saved the world multiple times before this had happened
Ofc but this definitely was the biggest one
Ash was a above avenge trainer and team rocket were evil they tried to kill ash and his friend's in kalo's and alola.
Team rocket walked like that because they look cool and throught they were scary.
fun fact: not even just in the anime but in the mainline games team rocket is the only organization who's not only been the main antagonist in more than one generation but their also the only organization that's been active outside of their introduction region. With that said while meowth did have a influence in the rockets popularity it helped that jessie and james were more fleshed out than other antagonist. I'm sure the new villains of the anime have their own personal quarks but their going to have a hard ass time over shadowing the rockets popularity
oh yea one more fun fact: apparently the rockets were going to be more serious villains throughout best wishes run time (that's why whenever ash and friends beat them instead of them blasting off again they got away on jet packs) but the Japanese fanbase hated this and loved the more goofy villains they used to be so they were later reverted back to such
It’s so weird how Jessie didn’t catch a proper Pokémon in the journeys series at all. That was weird I thought. But it was cool seeing both her and James have a full team of six Pokémon by the end of it as well.
Yeah it's terrible
@@Pokiiii62 I couldn’t agree more!
Since they had that gotcha machine, I was hoping to get Yanmegga, Inkay, Carnivine, etc. back. Oh, forget the battles, we have our friends.
She should have Kept Chewtle it would have been her first cute / baby pokemon. If they didnt get their Unova mons in the end they would have had more openings on their teams for Galar and future cameos. I feel like the main reason they returned their Unova mons is Because Woobat and Frillish were the only ones on Jessie's team that evolve yet. So one can come back evolved and show growth.
@@kevinwilson3452 yeah good point actually.
Yeah I agree. Even though Team Rocket was evil, they were so funny, dumb in a fun way and entertaining at the same time. You cooked with this video
Thank you very much friend! 💙
Ah yes, Team Rocket Trio are truly famous. Such a great memories.
Ngl, they are still evil but they have a good side in them as they help Ash and his friends when it comes to facing against Team Villains like Team Flare from the Kalos series which that was the best examples as i agreed!

I personally think that they just do that because they want to be the only villains with power, but thats just me.
She will 😭💙
@@Pokiiii62 Indeed, it's so sad that she passed away...
Team Rocket is a Squad
The Meowth rabbit hole😅
James is truly the goat
They saved world in every movie ngl
I agree on XYZ Team Rocket intro beign the best one.
Real
Aint no one ever gonna be as iconic as the TRio 🫶🏼
Squad
I think a lot of the love also comes from the movies, they are shown to be willing to go really far to protect their Pokémon, even just as far as Ash would go for his
Very true actually 👍
They also tended to save the day in almost all the movies, surviving the shenanigans of Legendary pokemon.

Exactly
@Pokiiii62 sure, some of their scenes were cringe, but it somehow was involving Ash or was a type of cringe that was funny
James was just so relatable imo, literally was just the most relatable entity to ever be perceived.
Team Rocket is the first one when Pokémon villain that comes to my mind.
Team Rocket was funny (and flashy) to watch, but I also found it cool that they aren’t 100% evil and have some moments where they could be considered heroes.

Some of the best villains in anime history.
R.I.P Rachael Lillis 😞
Got to the point where these three were the only reason I even watched the anime. Love the TRio!! 😄❤
6:15 Except when they're working with the big evil and they are monsters and heartless

2. what I love most about team rocket is that they felt like actual characters, as well as being good Saturday morning cartoon villain.
3. their villain song, double trouble, absolutely slaps.

Because they are the GOAT
GUYS! After watching this video, if you want more Jessie and James, look up the video “Team Rocket is Blasting Back.” You’ll love it!

I still love watching his Pokemon videos cuz they’re fun to watch and I won’t deny that I kinda do agree with him about how team rocket can sometimes overstay their welcome way too much, for example in the indigo league where team rocket had way too much screentime than the actual Pokemon league, especially in the ash vs Ritchie episode where they were partly responsible that ash got a very bad defeat against Ritchie.
But other than that, I do still like team rocket. I just wish they had a way better conclusion where they could quit team rocket and live a better and happier humble life like Butch and Cassidy did.
They made them look so cool in the journeys op even tho you know they just gonna go blasting off again 😂
The only reason the other universe where ultra beasts took over happened was because they didn’t have bewear
They needed a better ending tbh
villians who aren't monsters - these guys are awesome
Team rocket was such a good team
rest in peace to Jesse and misty's va she be missed
as always great vid poke :D
I literally remember when I was a kid seeing the first episode that they showed up in ❤
I love it how it was casually established that Jessie, James, and Meowth exist in the Game's continuity despite there being no explanation as to where they came from. Though the game's version of Meowth initially couldn't talk, Pokémon Masters did end up retconning this so he could.
Ash literally had to have multiverse shenanigans happen in order to get him in the game's continuity (his appearance in Pokémon Masters) whereas Team Rocket just exists and aside from not having the relationship with Ash they're practically identical to their anime counterparts.
this will blow up mark my words
And this is why Team Rocket is the goat.
Keep it up Pokeeee with these greatest videos that you are creating ❤
Team rocket carried sun and moon tbh
Mimikyu is Jessie's best Pokémon
Short answer: Cuz they funni lol
I love Team Rocket!
Meowths backstory gets me every time
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
I love this video and channel
Thanks you for your video and channel
I love Pokemon all franchise
2:31 he was a simp that’s the best your getting out of me
Wobuffet's Counter was BUSTED
Wobuffet in general is more busted than some people give it credit for. It's notorious in nuzlockes for being able to randomly kill a team member if you run into one, and it has a pretty good competitive career thanks to stuff like it's high HP, counter and mirror coat to reflect damage back, and even encore and destiny bond as well
How can you say that you're giving them a proper introduction without playing any of the iconic way they announce themselves.
Because I'd get copyright dawg
@@Pokiiii62 That's fair. It's a shame you couldn't get a snippet but not worth risking copyright. It's a good video. I do enjoy the campiness of Team Rocket
Tbh Sun and Moon had team rockets best Pokémon (in my opinion)
Journeys fucked up team rocket soooooo bad
Team rocket is probably was made the anime so fun to watch.
Bro if it wasn’t for team rocket I probably would have stoped watching Pokémon a long time ago there easily the best characters in the show and most people who watched Pokémon I know agrees
I love Team Rocket!! My favourite member is Meowth idk the fact he was the only Pokémon we knew at the time that can talk made me really irritated in him and plus he’s just adorable!!!!🥹🥹🥹😸😸😸
Prepare for trouble!!!!!!
And make it double!
To protect the world from devastation!!!!
To unite all peoples within our nation!!!
@@Greninja238 to denounce the evils of truth and love
To extend our reach to the stars above!
Morpeko fans rn be mad lol
Dog Lusamine In The Games Had A Lot Of Screws Lose. ._. (This Woman Froze Pokemon For Her Own Pleasures)
What are your thoughts on Team Rocket during the Best Wishes seasons where Jessie, James and Meowth changed their iconic uniforms to black, they were serious, had mature tones, and played the role of spies gathering intel during their time in Unova. While I liked Team Rocket as comic relief characters. In my opinion James, Jessie and Meowth were written well in Best Wishes like they were in a underground mafia organization that is Team Rocket
5:06 Bewear was probably the strongest Pokemon when this series released because it bodied THE FASTEST ULTRA BEAST.
Nahh not the strongest but definitely came outta nowhere 😭
Team rocket good times
Real
Pokeeeee I’m so sorry I haven’t been commenting!! Team rocket is the best I’m so sad that they left but I would rlly appreciate if u did full backstory for Meowth :))
They're goated
I love sobble
He's such a cutie
Is*.
Just becsuse the animes over doesnt mean their popularity is.
Remember that time when they (i think) said ash will appear atleast ONCE in horizons? Never found him, and i think all of us never will.......... Also team rocket we're really good.
There is one thing you missed. The heads of the company and the producers have said that we kight see Ash again someday.... and its most likey when he returns.... Team Rocket will follow.
If Team Rocket actually did succeed with taking Pikachu with no other obstacles, I have a feeling they would return him to Ash and go “best two out of three”.
Also I don't get how people find full stops passive-aggressive 😭😭😭😭😭 like if a kid goes up to you and says "i want some candy." Y'ALL THINK THAT WOULD BE MENACING 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
REAL
Came from the community post and....
*YoU'rE nOt My DaD*
I am.... your father
yeah but journeys did them the dirtiest by the end of it, i still like them though
Love team rocket
The problem is they weren't allowed to grow or move on. They were stuck, which annoys me because near the end, it didn't seem like the writers wanted then in the show.
They have done the right things numerous times and won because they are good people, the just don't seem to realise that. One day I hope they get their happy ending.
Kinda heard not to be popular after being on one of the most popular anime’s ever sense dp 2
also Kinda heard not to be popular after almost 30 years
Hey man... theirs plenty of characters that aren't as memorable since then
@@Pokiiii62 fair enough
The problems with Team Plasma and Team Rocket in Unova was because of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. As the crux of the plan was an earthquake machine and there was visible destruction of property. They were forced to abort the storyline which got worse with Black and white 2. And since the show is simply a toy commercial. The showrunners were forced to quickly rewrite the arc to fit in with the sequels.
Actually episodes are planned and made 5 months before they are aired so even if the Team Rocket VS Team Plasma was aired the anime would have been the same at least until the Moeletta arc.
@@poppie267 Maybe the Moelatta arc was going to be a Team Plasma arc. But it was rewritten to finish the Team Rocket plot.
Probably not an outrageously unpopular opinion, but I always liked Team Rocket better than Ash 😗
i liked em, but when Gen 3 came out they should've left da show
4:50 fr. Like, how are you the MC, but you're the only character who looks bad in the style of YOUR show 😭
̶M̶o̶m̶m̶y̶ Mimikyu
I’d it were up to me I would have had mine jr stay to be the adorable one of the group he is my favorite team rocket pokemon
Nah i loved BW and i think its peak, but in XYZ I hated them but not at ending of it
You can't entirely blame then forbthe Team Plasma and N stuff. Blame the Earthquake that may have messed the plans up.
They also root for ash in most leagues
To protect the world from devastation to unit our people in our nation to announce evil from true and love to extend our reach to the stars above Jessie, James team rocket blast of at speed of light surrender now are prepared to fight meowth thats right
The true evil team of Pokemon nothing can change that
I hope we can see them again, My childhood
I just couldn't be bothered about these 4. Clownery gets old after years and years.
I would rather take Team Rocket over most villains of every other anime because they're not always intimidating and always rely on humor
I find it hilarious that a small amount of Unova Team Rocket fans (They really are a small amount yes many people like them in Unova but also like their goofy side) Think they should remain serious and humorless because they are villains.
Plankton. Robbie Rotten. Dr Drakken. Dr.Doofenshmirtz. Mojo Jojo. They would like to get a word with them LOL.
