This is the boss, and I'm sick of waiting. I want Pikachu! And this time, don't screw it up!
Does Giovanni even want Pikachu, though? I thought he didn't give a single fuck about that.
>>26073007
If they actually got him pikachu he would kick that yellow rat out in the streets. He wants mewtwo and rare pokemon, not a pikachu.
I'LL BE THA JOKA
Is this the start of a new shitpost phenomenon?
>>26073011
He didn't really care about it when he and Ash finally met. They were just an obstacle in the way of the Pokémon he was actually after.
>>26073032
when did this happen?
>>26073031
Rocketposting is hardly new
>>26073011
that's actually them imagining the boss saying that
>>26073032
This should never have happen
>>26073011
I think he started giving a shit after it basically spirit bombed hiim
>>26073038
In the Best Wishes "lets recycle the Rocket V Plasma animation into something far less interesting" Meloetta special starring the Therian Genies.
Geovanni curb stomps Ash in mere seconds, its an utter embarrassment and a waste of time, esepcially since he should have been theoretically skilled enough to have faced him at the end of the Kanto arc.
While we're talking about Giovanni, I really hope the anime makes up for that canceled Team Rocket vs Plasma special and have them travel to Kalos to fight Team Flare.
It might be wishful thinking+grabbing at straws, but the fact that Lysandre is the only team villain in the anime to actually have his own Pokemon makes me imagine him confronting Giovanni in a Persian vs Pyroar showdown.
Seriously anime writers, get on it. I don't want Giovanni to disappear for the entirety of the show after that last Team Flare ep, only to appear near the end to congratulate the TRio for "once again singlehandedly wiping out another rival organization".
>>26074517
Is it basically confirmed that Team Rocket is the most powerful team anyway?
>>26076921
Powerful?
They barely even got featured IN THEIR HOME REGION.
The most we've seen of "the real Team Rocket" outside of comedic duos would probably be... I don't know that Saint Anne? And the actual plan in that attack was barely better than a Jessie and James scheme, it just had large numbers of masked grunts participating.
The closest we were going to get was Rocket Vs. Plasma, but the fact is that two parter was so obviously inconsequential to the overall plot of BW that they just pulled the episodes and parted out the animations into episodes that were far enough ahead that they weren't animated at the time RVP got canned.
>>26077092
I think the most we've seen of TR operating as an organization was during the Johto sagas. The Lugia arc, the multiple movies that featured Team Rocket agents as the main villains (including Giovanni himself) and the introduction of new Rocket characters in Cassidy/BitchButchand Dr Namba.
Funny how the Johto anime showed Team Rocket in full force but in the games they were but a shadow of their former strength.
Now I wish to see the return of these old characters in the Ashime again.
>>26077195
What movies had non-trio TR people as villains other than... the first Celebi movie with time travel in it?
>>26077281
The Latios and Latias movie, where instead of a trio we had a duo. I think their names were Annie and Oakley.
>>26077310
Oh, I forgot all about that.
that was some shit they made up for the dub by shoving in a single passing reference to reporting to Giovanni, or something shallow like that, because apparently it wouldn't make sense for two people to be theives if the werent TR members.
>>26077376
Well, TR has never been as "organized" as the other teams, if that makes any sense. You have Plasma whose goal is to liberate pokemon, Flare to remake society, etc..
Rocket has only ever been about making money, so it's a lot more accessible to common thugs like Annie and Oakley who don't want to be drawn into a cult-esque idealogy. It also makes it a looser organization, so you have people like the Masked Marauder who seem to basically do what they want most of the time.
>>26077092
>They barely even got featured IN THEIR HOME REGION.
The fact remains that TR are operating in Kanto, Johto and Unova full-scale. That's two more regions than every other gang.
>>26077426
Yeah Team Rocket was more broad in its goals, unlike today's evil teams who are solely focused on a singular goal involving the mascot legends.

They send a handful of grunts to attempt to seize the weather trio's therian formes and Meloetta, and immediately retreated except for the Trio upon failing, they didn't even do anything when Team Plasma became active during Episode N
>>26077568

Jessie, Annie and Oakley, Cassidy, Domino, Miyamoto, and of course pic related.
>>26077597

>m-muh enslavement
That was just propaganda to encourage people to disarm themselves, then once they were few trainers left to oppose them, take over everythigng with their own pokémon.
>>26077627
Isn't that the only canon image of her whatsoever?
>>26077597
Team Flare is wierd. The grunts were like that but Lysandre was more like

You're damn right except Courtney.
TR is a goldmine of waifus though, at least in the anime.
>tfw attracted to bad girls
>>26077376
Ha, I just looked that up in Bulbapedia and the Dub did make them out to either be Team Rocket members or hired thieves, whereas the Sub made no mention of them having any relation to Team Rocket.
>>26077661
Dont' worry, she'd probably tie you to a pole and make a Nidoking ass rape you or something sadistic like that
>>26077627
Team Flare had some waifus. You also forgot Aqua's Shelley.
>>26077627
>>Team Flare, Plasma, Galactic, Aqua, Magma

Flare: The admins
Plasma: Female Grunt
Galactic: Mars and Jupiter
Aqua: Female grunt, Shelly
Magma: Courtney
Also, most that you listed of team rocket are anime only, I don't even consider it canon.
Wailord is the best pokemon of all time.
>>26073007
If this post is quints, Cyrus was a FAR better villain than Giovanni will EVER be!

No better than those Flare, Magma and Aqua shits. At least Plasma knew what they were doing.
>>26077779
Unless you created a Legendary, you're a worthless team.
>>26077754
>Flare: The admins
Generic Stacies, wew.
>Plasma: Female Grunt
Hardly a waifu since it's a template for a huge number of characters.
>Galactic: Mars and Jupiter
Enjoy the endless bitching about their perfect universe. Also probably asexual tumblrinas
>Aqua: Female grunt, Shelly
Niggers.
>Magma: Courtney
Literally autistic.
>>26077779
At least Cyrus is a truly intimidating villain with interesting dialogues, Giovanni dialogues are literally "Haha you're just a kid, I'm the big boss, defeat me if you can!"
>>26077877
>At least Cyrus is a truly intimidating villain with interesting dialogues,
Cyrus was a sociopathic autist with zero foresight. If you found him "intimidating", you're probably autistic as well.
>>26077779
Can any of the other team leaders be considered villains? They all believe they're doing what's "right" for the world.
Giovanni knows he's evil, he just doesn't give a shit. That's far more alpha than any misguided idealogist.
>>26077873
>I hate everything: the post
And why the team rocket girls are any better? I could say that they also are generic and dumb while pointing a bunch of flaws, nostalgia sure makes the things different.
>>26077568

>>26073011
I remember an episode in which Jessie and James actually finally managed to capture Pikachu and take it to Giovanni. But it was right after Mewtwo had just escaped from the lab and Giovanni wasn't in a great mood, so not only did he not give a fuck about some Pikachu, but he knocked it out of their hands, breaking the trap, and allowing it to escape.
>>26077943
>y-you're just a genwunner!!
And so it begins...
>>26077943
Waifus aside, TR could be introduced in Gen 7 and still have far more character than the other teams. I consider it and Plasma to be tied, personally.
>>26077948
>>26077934
>Giovanni knows he's evil, he just doesn't give a shit.
This is why Team Rocket has always been my favorite. There's no bullshit with them.

>>26077934
Ghetsis was evil since the beginning, he just was manipulating N for his own interests, in BW2 it's entirely obvious with the Neo Team Plasma.
>>26078030
nice
>>26078000
>Cyrus fails at quints
>Trips for Team Rocket instead
WE'LL BE THE RICHEST ROGUES OF ALL TIME
>>26077877
Ghetsis. In fact, Ghetsis and Giovanni can be considered to be the only straight evil leaders.
Even Cyrus felt that he was doing some good, though it was projected through his narcissism rather than being very preachy like the other well-intentioned extremists.

Y woz team rocket always after pika wen chary is so much stronger??? R dey retarded r just faggots???????

I know, bruther. Courtney is really cute even though she's not from TR.
When I was a kid I had the biggest boner for pic related.
>>26078912
so sexy
>>26077960
I'm not sure this actually happened
>>26079347
Nevermind. I remembered it wrong. They tried to give him Togepi, not Pikachu. The Mewtwo thing and the Giovanni not giving a fuck thing did happen, though. But I think Ash ended up rescuing Togepi.
