Why do they even bother trying anymore? It's been 20 years.
I know we're all here obsessively talking about a marketing vehicle for children's toys but for once I'd like to see some genuine character development.
>>27236276
You fucking what
Jessie James and Meowth have the most character development out of the main cast
>>27236276
They tried doing something with them at the start of BW, but dropped it instantly.
>>27236276
James is literally the best character in the anime, which granted isn't saying much.
>>27236427
>we'll never see what would have become of them because of the quakes
They probably have storyboards and even one of the finished castelia episodes.
>>27236427
>>27236488
Their seiyuu's didn't find it that fun what they were doing in BW.
that's why they're back to being inept.
though they aren't that much fun anymore.
I agree with OP.
What the series needs is a major time jump. Age the current cast up. Ash becomes a gym leader or professor, Jesse and James leave team rocket or take over it or whatever. An entirely new cast of kids.
Just something man. I mean I know Pokemon is a giant cash machine but somethings gotta give in the same old tired formula
>haven't run into any other TR members in years
Is the entire organization just these 3?
>>27236562
They don't leave Kanto, usually.
>>27236517
>writers try to give the characters a bit more to do for once after 15 years of acting like idiots
>voice actors liked it better when they were lelsorandumb idiots
>they're given a radio show when they could still voice the characters being idiots
>in the end it doesn't mean shit and the writers still revert them back to being idiots because people for some reason liked them better like that
>now TR will forever be just idiots who occasionally get an emotional episode and only act semi-competently when the plot demands it
Why is this allowed?
>>27236616
Well surely they've been fired or banished right?
Why do they get free reign to chase one asshole who constantly loaes across the world.
What happened to tough ass Giovanni?
Sorry I haven't watched since season 1
>>27236517
>>27236276
If we kill Jessie and james VA will we see a drastic change in their personality?
>>27236794
>killing Megumi Hayashibara
You monster
>>27236854
Holy Moly, she voiced Faye in bepop, i take back what i said
>>27236276
>>>27236276
>pokemon anime
>development
It's too late anon, even if they try. Just ignore this show.
>>27236634
Japan loves to pander.
Notice Iris nor Cilan have made their cameo in Kalos and likely never will.
>>27236542
What the series needs is to be cancelled. It cant be saved.
>>27236634
>writers
>>27236692
Giovanni doesn't care about them and just lets them do whatever they want. They barely work for Team Rocket since the Kanto saga.
>>27237026
Nah. He lets them go as bad representation of Team Rocket and as soon as Ash leaves to a new reagion and they follow Team Rocket rolls up with the real guns and takes over whata puny imitating organisation was in that region
>>27237026
You stopped After johto didn't you?
They're actually still considered top agents After their promotion in BW. Giovanni occasionally contacts them
>>27236940
Too late, you already said it.
>>27237026
Reminder that Giovanni
>believes Jessie, James and Meowth fought Team Galactic and were responsible for them disbanding
>knows they've been going after the Pikachu that fucked him up good when he was trying to control the Genies
>believes they fought Team Plasma and were responsible for them going to jail
>will probably believe they fought Team Flare as well
As far as he knows, despite being generally incompetent, the trio has done a good job in making Team Rocket the most powerful villainous team in the world, simply by eliminating the competition.
>tfw there will never be a serious and dramatic Pokemon anime
There's potential
>>27237154
>>27237216
>>27237312
Giovanni still thinks they're pretty terrible members. I can't remember if it was BW or XY, but when he hangs up on them after a call he literally says "who were those people?"
>>27237313
It doesnt even need to be serious or dramatic. It just needs not to be the worst anime in existence.
I dont get why people complain about a possible live action pokemon movie, we already hit bottom of the barrel.
I just want them to retire and get married. is that so much to ask? They already had sex.
>>27237456
>>27236276
They aren't trying hard enough compared to their senpais.
I wish we could see Team Rocket as an organization again. Bring back old members like Cassidy&Butch, Atila&Hun. Bring back doctors Sebastian and Namba. Heck bring back those members we saw in BW, Dr. Zager and that other dude.
Team Rocket was pretty cool in the Johto anime since we saw them as a true organization, and I would love an arc where Team Rocket members arriving in Alola constantly war with the criminal organization there.
>>27237499
I could see them turnng Chinese Trump into an ally of Giovanni in the Alola series and Jessie and James working for him until they get Fired.
The whole anime has gone to shit
>S1 EP1 Ash
"I'm as I'm gonna be a Pokemon master!"
>EP1 of X and Y Ash
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH AAAHHHHHHHH PIKACHU OOOOHHHHH MY GOOODDDD"
>>27237456
They got married and Jesse even got pregnant in one of the manga series. I think it's the Electric Tale of Pikachu?
I kind of want James to become a companion of Ash.
Meowth and Jessie can fuck off.
I recently watched an episode of XY when Kojiro actually did do something good instead of antagonizing the brats. Then Musashi tells him to wake up and he went back to being his bad self for a moment to battle them.
I also remember Kojiro saing he wanted to battle Ash and company fairly 1v1 once in a while.
>>27237487
james being hetero every so often is nice
>>27237673
James also had a boner for inventions like Clemont during that mecha festival episode.
>>27237580
So you don't watch XY, then? He rarely ever uses Pikachu, only for the small battles.
>>27237760
Well I do think it mostly him and mewoth who put together the huge mecha that they make sometimes. It would make sence.
>>27237777
I'm not talking about battles I'm talking about that little asshole constantly screaming
>>27236276
It hasn't been 20 years in the show though
