Why are these faggots even still in the show? They do literally

They're still popular so they're going to keep coming back.

They have always been the only entertaining part of the show and the only characters to have decent development

Takeshi Shudo and Japanese liking incompetent comic relief villains made them last forever.

I honestly think TR should have finally left at the end of DP at the latest when Brock did. Its obvious BW, XY and SM didn't need them at all.

>>33354018

They are literally just a crutch for cookie cutter plots.

Even though people love to shit on Black and White's anime, I really appreciated that it was the first series that didn't use them EVERY SINGLE FUCKING episode, and they were competent. But people didn't want that, they waned "wahh, where's the puns, where's the blasting off again?!"

I like them a lot

>>33354030
>They have always been the only entertaining part of the show and the only characters to have decent development

I don't know if this is universally true, but team rocket are WAY more entertaining in S/M than ash or those retarded fucking friends

>>33354018

They barely appear in Sun & Moon, outside of episodes focused on them.

They're still around because they're the show's most popular characters.

They are more popular than ash in japan

>>33354065
They're still around because they're the show's only good characters

>>33354040
>they were competent

It wasn't that that was unpopular, it was unpopular because it came at the cost of what made people like them to begin with.

And XY and to a greater extent SM have proven that they can be competent while still retaining what makes them fun characters.

>>33354085

Have they been retaining competence in SM? I liked the episode where they beat ash, but I saw one episode after that and some fodder dugtrio sent them Bewearing off again and I gave up

>>33354088

Yes.

There's a reason why when they had to choose between giving them the boot or giving Misty the boot, they chose Misty, and why they're in the 20th movie and Misty/Brock aren't.

>>33354110

When they do appear, yes.

There was an episode where they faced off against the Team Skull trio for a Dark Z-Crystal and won.

They're usually doing something completely unrelated to Ash and co. Team Skull has mostly taken their place as Ash and co.'s punching bags.

>>33354110
They didn't "beat Ash", that was a mistranslation in some shitty guess sub.

>>33354018
Back in the 70s there was this really popular anime called Yatterman. The antagonists were the Doronbo gang, who consisted of a woman, a tall man, and a short man. Yatterman was so popular the Doronbo's setup was used in practically every children's anime anime.
TL;DR = There was a really popular anime in the 70s with really iconic villains, and that's why Team Rocket still exists.

>>33354148
It was called Time Bokan. It lasted 7 seasons, Yatterman being the second, and the only one to last two years as opposed to one. The antagonists were the same in all seven seasons, with their names and character designs varying, but their voices and personalities staying the same.

>>33354121
Besides, who needs Misty?

They are the only thing I like in the S&M anime.

>>33354030
Meowth is literally the most complex character in the entire franchise.

>>33354165
Misty was an insufferable hyper cunt and not even good looking.

I know you're doing divide and conquer shit for memery and such but honestly, everybody is allowed to like whatever they like.

Doesn't the anime more or less soft reboot itself every two gens?

SM is almost 40 episodes in and this is still the only reference to a previous series. Even in the 20th anniversary ep, Ash says nothing about his previous adventures beyond getting Pikachu from Oak, he just talks about how much he loves the Alola region and Kukui and Lillie and everyone else

>>33354789
No, it's just that BW didn't start referencing older series until it kinda had to when Cynthia and Dawn appeared, and XY only had the occasional vague mention along the lines of that one.

Lack of references doesn't mean "soft reboot".

>>33354360
Probably because as TR members, they have to wear Team Rocket clothing. However, at the end of DP they got promoted, so that's why they wore black for a bit.

>>33354789
>>33354819
didn't BW start as a soft reboot but they ended up abandoning that idea after a while?

>>33354901
No. Where are people getting this nonsense from? The last DP episode has the Rocket trio get called in for the meeting with Giovanni BW1 starts with them attending

They're the best characters.

>>33354308
TR are 25 year old adults, of course they're going to have more backstory than 10 year old kids. What kind of logic is that?

Since also the entire main cast didn't have pokemon before they were 10, the most they show is flashbacks when they were kids or looking up to their parents. We've seen flashbacks of Misty, May, Dawn, Iris and Serena all as kids.

The thing is, they're really fucking entertaining as characters, frankly infinitely better than Ash and the majority of his friends, but they always get used in the lamest fashion possible.

You fucks,they are in the anime because GameFreak doesn't own the rights to the characters, they are owned by OML, the studio that is in charge of -and animates- the series since day one. THAT is why they are still in the anime and THAT is why they won't ever leave. The characters generate profit for them on top of the series' cuts.

Not because 'they're developed' or 'good'. Jessie and James are anime exclusive characters, exclusively owned by OML, Inc.

>Shortly after Misty and Melody's exchange and Melody scolding Ash for his recklessness, Jessie, James and Meowth's exchange was different: Originally, Jessie explained that Misty and Ash are ten years too young to get focused on romance anyways, with James also explaining that they themselves are already five years too old to focus on that anyhow, with Meowth summing it up by making a crack at how "love life" is foreign to them, to Jessie and James' chagrin. In the dub, Jessie mentioned that getting involved with the opposite sex is only asking for trouble, and James mentioned that he'd rather stay out of trouble, while Meowth quips that they've got each other and thus don't need the opposite sex, to their chagrin.

It makes no fucking sense anyway. If they take someone saying "you're 10 years too early to worry about love" to a ten year old to mean you need to be 20 to worry about it, the only way James saying "we're 5 years too late" would mean they're 25 is if you can literally only worry about love when you're 20, and that even being 21 makes you too old.

Fuck Bulbapedo so much.

>real development in the show

>>33355579
I never said they weren't in the games. During an interview with Game Freak they were talking about how much control they had over the anime, how much influence the anime had in their games.

They said Pokemon saying their names is completely anime-exclusive and OML, inc's suggestion. They weren't even confident whether or not they should let OML go through with VA-ing Pokemon. But it turned out fine. Then they said they put Pikachu's VA in the games.

They said Jessie and James were anime exclusive, but to promote the anime they released Yellow Version with characters from the anime and change of Pokemon obtained and available.

No one said Yellow wasn't canon.
The fact I'm telling you is the reason why they are still in the anime is because they are owned by the anime. Yellow doesn't matter at all.

>>33355669
Literally nothing they said in that interview is new, and almost all of it is common knowledge.

>>33355692
Then why am I having to explain this shit?

>>33354018
Are you really still expecting some sort of development out if the freaki gran ashnime?
Just drop it, its the sensible thing to do.

>>33355698
I have no idea. /vp/ is a pretty dumb board.

>>33355585
No

>>33355579
He has the three starters to represent any choice the player can make,not to make a statement about canonicity.

>>33355727
>No
He is. The Satoshi name comes straight from the games, it's one of three default names for the character that didn't get the canon name "Red" until gen 2.
The "Red" character in Pokemon Zensho is called Satoshi as well, for the exact same reason.

>>33354819
>Lack of references doesn't mean "soft reboot".
I personally think is a retarded term because it means whatever the poster wants but i thought it was agred upon lack of references being enough. What do you think soft reboot means then?

>>33355744
Yet he gets involved with regions and villain teams ethan and the other dealt with. Not to mention he never became champion.
He's based on red but he's not red.

>>33354018
They are by far the best part of this show I'm sorry for your terrible taste

>>33355579
>>33355585
Wrong.
Red has canonically caught all 150 Pokemon plus Espeon. Ash never had an Eevee/Espeon.

Plus Red has the Pikachu because of "mascot"
The three starters to show the player's choices in previous games

I love these guys. I know it won't happen but I'd love for them to appear in the games again, even a cameo. Or better yet, a Team Rocket spinoff of some kind.

>>33355777

Lillie in the anime is an actual Pokemon Trainer, hasn't run away from home, and doesn't have Nebby.

She's based on Lillie but she's not Lillie.

>Your logic

>>33355777
That's like saying the guy in the anime called Giovanni isn't Giovanni because he was never defeated in battle and had Team Rocket battle other teams in other regions and all the other shit that the game one never did.

>>33355777
idiot

>>33355816
Yes, ashnime Lillie is not Game Lillie. What;s wrong with this. Ashnime is not the same as the games. You don't decide what mons Ash has.

>ashfag even trying to mention logic

>>33355824
Yes, the Giovanni in the ashnime and the ones in the games are not the same for the reasons posted.

>>33355843
That doesn't make him "not Red". Are you going to go into some random Pokemon Special thread and screech about how Red isn't Red there too?

>>33355843

Ok, I posted proof of Ash and Red being different characters, what counter proof do you have of them being the same?

>Are you going to go into some random Pokemon Special thread and screech about how Red isn't Red there too?
There's two kind of people on those threads. The ones that like pokespe which are at the very least smarter than a 5 year old boy and the ashfags who're trolling. The first ones understand that Red in the game is not Red in the manga just fine.

>>33355859
>>33355863
not an argument

>>33355874
If you think anybody was arguing that Ash in the anime is literally the avatar in the video games you have full control over, I don't think you're in the position to complain about other people's intelligence.

>>33355874
I refuse to believe you're old enough to post on 4chan.

>>33355895
Red is a game character.
Ash is an anime character.
"Red is Ash" means saying they're one and the same. Not to mention pokemon Yellow was being discussed which you might not know, is a game.

Also, if people weren't retarded we wouldn't be discussing Ash. You think too highly of /vp/s ability to be able to differentiate different media(AKA little to non existant).

>>33355900
Just because I didn't waste 20 years following a retard who will never get anywhere doesn't mean I'm underage.

>>33355929
When you're too fucking dumb to understand what people were saying, insulting them back and claiming they WERE saying what you interpreted it as because they're idiots isn't exactly making you look better.

>>33355950
> claiming they WERE saying what you interpreted it
Its not a matter of interpretation. People were talking about game Red and someone said Red is Ash. I already explained why I think they said what they said and the reason even if I didn't have to. If there's a flaw in my logic please state which. Because saying "DURRR UR TOO DUMB DONT INSULT" doesn't add anything.

>>33356029
Calm down, spergo.

>>33355950
Not him, but the guy that clearly stated, "Red is Ash" is definitely completey 100% wrong, no matter how you 'interpret' that post.

>>33356062
So is Misty Misty? Is Brock Brock?

>>33356062
"The guy in the anime named Ash" is the anime version of Red, just like "the girl in the anime named Lillie" is the anime version of Lillie. Nobody implied anything other than this.

>>33356045
>Ihave no argument but you're wrong
ashfags everyone

>>33356066
Not who you're replying to but that's a cheating question. if by both Misties you mean the game and anime version then no but you can easily twist it to mean both the same version and tell the other anon he is wrong. Only because both versions have the same name. Red and Ash don't have even the same name(inb4 that magazine scan that's retconned in the games themselves) so even then its a completely different matter.

But, if insulting other people while not arguing your points makes you confortable

>>33356087
>"The guy in the anime named Ash" is the anime version of Red
"Red is Ash" doesn't mention the word "version" anywhere and the discussion was about pokemon yellow AKA a game.

>>33356091
Holy shit just stop.

>>33356091
Nobody in the anime or in this or that manga is LITERALLY the character from the game they're based on, nobody implied they were, and sitting there screeching that "muh ashfags are so retarded they obviously DID think that" isn't doing you any favors.

>>33356066
Once again, not that guy you were arguing with, but if I were to guess what you are saying is:
So is game Misty anime Misty? Is game Brock anime Brock?

Then I would say no. One is anime, and one is game. Both have different canonisity and both characters are ran by heads of different companies.

Like, game Misty never traveled with the MC if the MC was Ash. And anime Misty never owned a Lapras, like game Misty. And anime Misty had a Togepi/Togetic, but game Misty does not.

So they're not truly the same characters, just the anime equivalent is based on the game characters, but have different canons.

>>33356111
>wont stop with insults
>tells other people to stop

>>33356119
>nobody implied they were
Yes, when mentioning the character in the pokemon yellow GAME is the one in the anime. You're just assuming the anon is correct no matter what he posts which not only shows you're a newfag but its also hypocritical. Its not a matter of interpretation. And if you think they're different characters, why not admit you were wrong in the wording?

>>33356135
Yes, that's literally what I was trying to get across. The games, the various manga series and the anime all have different continuities. Everyone knows this. Nobody that says "Ash is Red" is implying he's literally the exact same character from the video games, they're saying he's the anime version of Red, just like PokeSpe Red is the PokeSpe version of Red. This isn't difficult or confusing in the slightest.

>>33356162
>Nobody that says "Ash is Red" is implying he's literally the exact same character from the video games
You're a newfag right? People here mix canons al the fucking time.

>>33356169
I have no idea what you're trying to imply. But Anime Ash, Zensho Satoshi, Game Red and Pokemon Special Red are all "Red" in the exact same way Anime Misty, Zensho Misty, game Misty and Pokemon Special Misty are all "Misty".

Different version of the same character. Some of the Reds have different names because Red didn't have a canon name back in gen 1. That's all there is to it.

>>33356187
>I have no idea what you're trying to imply.
That people here mix canons all the fucking time. Not only are you an obvious newfag you can't even read properly.

>But Anime Ash, Zensho Satoshi, Game Red and Pokemon Special Red are all "Red" in the exact same way Anime Misty, Zensho Misty, game Misty and Pokemon Special Misty are all "Misty".
Which is "different versions" and not "the literal same". Though in Ash's case its arguable because, as mentioned, he also parallels the other male MCs. Even then, that doesn't change anything. "Red is Ash" means that Red is Ash. Which is not true even if you only take into account their names which are already different as you mention in your own post.

>>33356137
You need to stop posting.

>>33356210
Yes, I totally will stop posting because a retard said so.

>>33356208
I assume the person that said Red is Ash just assumed everyone would be smart enough to understand what that implied. Go to bed now.

Note: Autists get really really pissmad when you point out that Ash is Red.

>>33356162
>Nobody that says "Ash is Red" is implying he's literally the exact same character from the video games
Except this guy >>33355585
You can't read implications on the internet and on a single-sentenced post. If you state "Red is Ash" with no follow-up, additional info, or clarification, then you are wrong. Now, if that anon were to repliedto his post or even re-worded what he meant, then people wouldn't be arguing with his post or your "logic".

I'm not the guy that's arguing with everyone else. I'm just saying, if you say "Apples are Oranges" but MEANT to say "Apples are fruits like Oranges", what you typed is still wrong, whether what you mean to say is correct.

You can't say you implied something in a sentence that holds no implication. I agree, it's not confusing or difficult at all, but you will be corrected, whether you meant to imply something that should have been stated as fact.

>>33356223
People get the canons mixed up all the time. There is no implication in "Red is Ash." That is an incorrect statement, there isn't any implication behind that post.

>>33356135
>So they're not truly the same characters, just the anime equivalent is based on the game characters, but have different canons.
That's what was implied, yes. Different adaptations that feature the same characters use them differently. "Same characters, different canon", "Different versions of the same character", "Different characters based on the same original character"... word it however you want, people know what the deal is and how this "multiple canons" stuff works.

>>33356258
Go away and stop being so fucking autistic holy shit.

>>33356223
>What it implied
What it implied is that Red and Ash are the same which is not the case. If he wanted to say otherwise he should have made the correct wording.

>>33356229

You're both fucking idiots for spending so much time bitching about literally nothing but the fact that someone wrote "Red is Ash" instead of "Ash is the anime version of Red".

When multiple anons call you an idiot that obviously misinterpreted something, you might want to consider the fact that maybe you did.

>>33356365
We're right because we're able to infer meaning without having it spelled out in pedantic literal terms. It just so happens that most people have this skill, but it's not an ad populum argument, it's just a fact.

>>33356386
That's literally ad populum anon.

Not to mention that my argument is more "if the guy meant X then he should have worded X and not Y" than "the guy meant Y" at this point. Though you sort of need to properly read the discussion which kind of requires being able to read.

>>33356402
>pedantic literal terms
What's pedantic about Red being a game character and Ash being an anime character.

> but it's not an ad populum argument, it's just a fact.
If this weren't an ad populum argument you would have no need to say "we" or mention the amount of people in the first place. So yeah, its ad populum.
And if it were fact, you'd be able to prove it instead of insulting and resorting to fallacies.

>>33356336 mentioned multiple people replying. >>33356356's point was that other posters didn't invest as much time in this idiotic discussion as you, it was just many people posting one or two responses. You just once again misinterpreted the post because of your autism, further proving their points. Again, they're not right because they outnumber you, they're right because they're right.

Slapstick humor.

>>>33356336 (You) mentioned multiple people replying. >>33356356's point was that other posters didn't invest as much time in this idiotic discussion as you
And how does time spent on a discussion prove me wrong in any way? Is a person wrong if it spends too much time in a discussion? So if I only told that retard that Ash is not Red and left the thread I'd be right?

Stop bringing unrelated shit, to this and try to prove your points. If you have no arguments don't argue. If you want me to stop posting then either admit your mistake or stop trying to make a point and failing.

>they're right because they're right
And I'm right because I'm right. I can do that too anon.

>>33356479
You were wrong in the first place because your point was idiotic and stemmed from an autistic inability to infer meaning without having it literally spelled out. Your idiocy was further magnified by the amount of time and effort you spent trying to prove an idiotic point. Your implication that other people were as idiotic as you for spending time in the discussion is wrong, because their investment is much lower than yours. That's what anon was saying.

If I were so wrong you'd be able to prove me wrong. You didn't. If the anon meant whatever you and others assumed he meant its irrelevant, doesn't make the wording correct. If anything you should also correct him and if your interpretation was so right you could be able to say why yet you fucking can't.

>Your implication that other people were as idiotic as you for spending time in the discussion is wrong, because their investment is much lower than yours.
I'm not the one saying time=idiocy, the other anon was. Learn to read.
And in >>33356479 I asked what this correlation is. You couldn't provide an answer. Stop being retarded and adress the points. Otherwise leave.

>this autism

>>33356653
>cant provide a proper counter argument and has to resort to insults
Nothing new here. Given you had no point I consider this dicussion over.

>>33356666
>some random faggot coming in and calling me autistic means I won

>>33356468

>the most slapstick heavy series is the one where they appear the least

Really makes you think.

>>33356687
I said the discussion was over, not that I won. I mean you didn't prove me wrong so I didn't lose either. But time is not infinite and repeating the same shit wont get us anywhere. You had a fair amount of time to make a point which you didn't do, and if you had one, you could have posted so then, now its too late.
If you want to blame anyone, blame >>33356653

>>33356610
It's not that your claim is wrong, it's that you're working so hard to state the obvious. Everyone knows Ash and Yellow Red aren't literally the same character, and on the slim chance that that's what anon literally meant, no one was autistic enough to feel the need to correct him, like you are. No one is going to be misinformed into thinking this by reading his post. You are not serving any purpose by pedantically trying to correct him other than to feed your own ego. It's much more likely that he said Ash is the Red of his universe, just like Giovanni and Lillie are the Giovanni and Lillie of Ash's universe, meaning character like Jessie and James qualify as game characters despite originating in the anime, which WAS the original point.

tl;dr you're autistic.

The entirety of the argument in this thread is just further proof that Team Rocket is overrate shit with a reputation based purely on nostalgia.

Team Rocket were never a good group of characters or even gags.

>>33354507
This, I got a kick outta watching TR try to get that darkium to the point I watched the whole ep, whenever ash is on I just skip to the main battle of the ep

>>33358152
I fite u u fucking faggit

>>33354018
more than 900 episodes yet

>>33355354
I already heard they were OML owned characters but how is it wrong to say they are Great characters in their own right? there is two sides to everthing.

also I will never not believe they are younger than 25 because of how they do things in the anime. there are certain reasons and evidence to suggest exactly that. that goes from them being top performers and artists just for making an entrance to being successful business owners every other episode just to make money to them having graduated from a militarized TR facility which requires high cognitive skills and an able body to being quite knowledgable about the world and pretty damn sophisticated in many fields. Somebody younger than 25 cannot possibly do any of these things with that sorta commitment and that Impact because their brains wouldn't be fully developed. that's the maturity part. Even if the writers would dismiss this theory it would still be wrong because it's them who wouldn't make any sense then.

>>33358425
*I will never believe they are younger

shit. Sry for that double negative typo.

>>33358425
>how is it wrong
read my post again, never said it was wrong.
I said they're still in the anime not because of how well they are received, but because of ownership.

>>33355354
It's OLM, not OML. And wasn't the TRio in Yellow version? (Which was based on the anime anyways.)

>>33358469
Yeah my bad OLM.
read the thread anon >>33355669

>Nothing to base their new designs on?

There's a new evil team in every gen.

Why not just have them go from team to team for work, getting new grunt inspired outfits in the process?
