Anime and Team Rocket

[Flygon Ruler]

Ok. I just need to express my feelings for those total weirdos.

First off, every single person in anime is a total loser. Every time Team Rocket dresses up in a costum, they can't tell who it is. What idiots! It maybe because younger kids watch the TV show, but I wasn't even that stupid when I was 5. Meowth has a fricken tail! Its not that hard to figure out.

And then, Team Rocket wastes about 15 prescious minutes singing there retarded song that no one listens to. Why don't they just attack them when they are singing? But no, they actually stop and LISTEN!!! WTF?

And then ever time a pokemon gets captured ash tries to use thunderbolt on there machine. Hasn't he figured it out yet? And where do they get all their money????

Why do ash and "the gang" always try and stop them from catching a pokemon? I remember once when Jessie tried to get a Smoochum and see climbed to the top of a radio tower and they actually electricuted here for trying to catch Smoochum? Its not their pokemon is it?

Just another quick question in Team Rocket saves. How does Ash jump so far. I saw him jump like fifty feet off a branch in the Battle Palace Episode when they took Sceptile. What's up with that?

Just post what you think and any other flaws or stuff you just want to get out and say.

The smouchem episode the jinx freez the stairs but then it sundenly deforst after 1 second and jessie and james get there money from team rocket HQ

[Dreamerboi]

well i be straight with you all, the sooner team rocket appear less in the anime, the better it be, they pretty much appear in every single episode and try to catch pikachu i mean come on 9 seasons later and they still have not caught pikachu, i would personally get the idea it never going to happen by now but not team rocket, it just repeated all over again and it get annoying with their little stupid team rocket motto.

[Shuricel]

The only reason they haven't left the anime is they can't produce a full episode without them. Almost all the episodes are:

Ash meets new trainer(s).
Trainer has problems/Ash has battle with trainer.
Ash helps trainer/Ash Loses.
TEAM ROCKET STEALS TRAINER'S POKEMON! =O
Thunderbolt. TEAM ROCKET BLAST AWAY!
Trainer's problem solved/Ash rechallenges trainer and wins.
El Fine.

Yeah. It's annoying how Ash goes 'OMG DEY EVIL!' when they try to catch pokemon. >.> It isn't a sin. Like he NEVER caught a pokemon that didn't want to be caught? I don't think Bulbasuar or Squirtle wanted to leave thier homes or anything....

All good points. ASh doesn't ever ctach his pokemon. He always says "Hey, want to come with me *insert pokemon's name*?" And then the pokemon gets its a kicked when it wants ash to show its he's worthy. Same thing over and over again. How is it, that the pokemon the main characters get are really good when they first get it, then it starts stinking up the battle feild. Take Turtwig for example, it beats pikachu, but then loses to Chimchar. WTF?

[Shuricel]

It's usually because they want it to make a big entrance or something, so they go 'ZOMG TURTWIG ROCKS!' Then Ash catches a new pokemon, so it's time for their big entrance or something.

[NinjaDuelist]

In general, its rather retarded that Ash gets to see all of these legendary Pokemon by "coincidence" in the movies. I mean, seriously, most people are lucky to see one legendary, while he's seen nearly all of them! Also, Ash is usually the "chosen one" or something special. Seriously, he's nothing special.

The smouchem episode the jinx freez the stairs but then it sundenly deforst after 1 second and jessie and james get there money from team rocket HQ

I'm 99.99% sure that they got cut off from Team Rocket funds a long time ago. They get their stuff from dumps, reycling bins and stuff they either stole or, for some odd reason I can't even begin to understand, bought it with money they earned by actually working. Another thing that makes me mad is how mediocre villians like them are never caught by the police. Even if they are caught they get out of jail with shovels. How is it even possible to break out of prison with shovels? One more thing I just have to add is why Pikachu? Seriously it is just a standard pikachu. Its lost its fair share of matches and is again only a pikachu, a pretty common pokemon. Why don't they spend their time searching for a legendary, or rarer standard pokemon specimen like chanseys or something. Finally why does Giovanni even let them still bare the name Team Rocket? I'm pretty sure it is because he totally forgot about them but seriously, for how well they do in a criminal orginization you think they would be severly punished and stripped of the title.

Well the reason they don't go fpor a legendary is because 1. they aren't smart enough, and 2. They don't have the power to even hold one in for more than maybe a minute.

IO've always wonder why pikachu. Maybe they just like to stalk ash. How is that they are always in the same place that ash is? Sespicious isn't it?

[pikabeeash]

Ok have you actully listen to pokemon songs and whatch the shows because
Geovanni even asked them he wants pikachu cuz pikachu ash's pikachu is diffrent from the others because its stronger than its type

[DarkGardevoir]

It's nice, huh, not knowing the whole story and throwing sentences here and there.

As pikabeeash said, Giovanni asked them to bring Ash's pikachu, not another pikachu, because it was somehow different. Now, he probably forgot about that, but whatever.

Giovanni has kicked them out of TR a couple of times, letting them rejoin after infinite begging

I do say, however, that Ash&Co. are pretty stupid. I mean, Jessie's hair aren't something you see on a day-by-day basis, and she makes nothing to hide them, and they still can't recognize them. Low memory anyone?

And in the Smoochum episode, if I recall right, the Jynx went in the city and started freezing everything because they couldn't find the baby. Now, I call it unfair they aren't let catch a pokemon- unless it is James and his poke-pets- but if the writers are stupid, can't do much about it.

And even if they went for Legendary, there would be Ash&Co. in their way, since *somehow* he always manage to follow them. I seriously wanted them to win in episode 453(where Ash&Co. return to Pewter Gym and JJM are "restyling" it), but you can't always get what you want.

No need to get snippy man, everyone makes mistakes.

Anyway TR's main reason for running into Ash and Co is first of all they are always staying close by so its no wonder that they run into each other and second they almost never back track. Go back to Kanto and try to catch the Legendary Birds and Ash wouldn't be around for miles. If GIovanni really cared for that Pikachu he would send other Rocket members who would actually have a chance of getting it. Anyway in the end it's all terrible plot ideas to have TR keep following ash and crew. :P

he did in a couple of episodes

[Flygon Ruler]

Pikachu isn't that great. It wins, it loses. Nothing special about it except it can beat ground pokemon for some starnge reason.

remember the episode with the bellsprout that pikachu couldn't shock because it was planted into the ground or something? That's really cheep.

Has anyone seen the Team Rocket chronicals flash back? It tells you alot about them, but how come they were so serious back then. Now, they are just plain goofy.

Its annoying to watch ash actually struggle to beat team rocket. How is that? And then, when Jessie first gets Seviper it rules and then the next episode it sucks. And why does James never keep his garydos?

I think the reason they're making Team Rocket goofy is because PUSA can not "bear the horror of having villans that are serious, with a humorus side."

Me being a total fan of Team Rocket I would love for them to actually catch a Pokemon and deliver it straight to the boss.

I personally don't mind them saying the motto. it actually makes the show more exciting to see what dramatic poses they do next.

James doesn't keep his Garyados because just face it; after being kicked in the water do you REALLY want to go back to your trainer who will probably find ways to still lose.

I do agree with you on how incredibly stupid the twerps are. I'll admit some of their disguises back in their orignal episode was good, but now they just slap on a pair of glasses and those idiots don't know who they are. Though with Meowth, there's no excuse forthem not recognizing him.

[iammark]

what annoys me is that they always seem to just coincidentally appear in the same town or area ash is in and that ash and that cant tell its them when they have the most obvious costume and dont even change their voice also i thiunk each series they could try out a diffrent main character cause ash is getting REEEEEAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLl old

In the epasode where ash faced the 3rd gym leader of Kanto
Team rockket cheered Pikachu on hen when the left misty said BYE TEAM ROCKET thanks!

[Arbok conquerer]

Let's see... I'm sure she just happpened to notice the flag with the huge R on it, but hey I could be wrong. But that is really what happened.

[Flygon Ruler]

Arobok: I'm not saying team rocket is bad or anything, I just would personally prefer to not have them in every episode or to have different team rocket characters. Look at your avy. Jessie, in that picture looks like a bad guy, but in anime, they are just comic releif characters that have no revelence except for making the episode longer. I liked it when Jessie battled in contests and she didn't cheat. It happened maybe once or twice, but she lost and she didn't try to cheat.

Its annoying when they interupt battles, because in my opinion, those are the only good episodes (when they battle). And wouldn't they be dead by now. Or seriously mental? They've been blasted a couple million times.

[Arbok conquerer]

You do have a point about the comic relief part. I think they should revert back to their late indigo selves when they were funny but more deadly. I must addmit some batttles it gets slightly annoying when team Rocket interrupts Gym Battles by dropping in. I personally like it better when they do some little funny thing in the background. I also think two thirds of Team Rocket(Jessie and meowth) are already mental. Especially Meowth and his Boss fantasies.

[ijea4444]

Hilarity, and there are pokemon!! If your going to have a story about fictional animals thin its not going to be realistic. When will people understand that its a cartoon(in a sense where anything is possible), i mean almost all pokemon come from eggs... and only legends actually have birth...

Why are you spammng the board up with...this?!

Another thing I noticed. If Jessie, James, and Meowth left the show for two episodes they'd have better find some serious Rocket members to actually pose a threat. This will be temporary and will give everyone a break from Team Rocket's regular antics.

I agree with this. I kinda enjoyed Butch and Cassidy except for the Butch joke that got really old. They were mean and nasty though, so I'd like to see them in a few upcoming episodes. What happened to giovanni? They don't put him in anime much anymore.

[Arbok conquerer]

The Boss is now the subject of all of Meowth's crazy fantasies. Also Butch and Cassidy could come back while the regular Team Rocket can think of the perfect way to catch Pikachu. BUT, they have to be the way they were in the first season, sinc only Jessie, James, and Meowth seems to know how to buse humor properly.
