but I honestly don't see how changing Team Rocket's uniforms back to white would have been something that necesarily needed to be changed after scraping the Plasma specials.
Heck, in context it seemed to me like Giovanni demoted the TRio for failing to stop Team Plasma, especially with him suddenly beginning to not have time for video conferences anymore.
and co-incidental to that, the movie promo material goes above and beyond its way fucking outright lie to the public, like when we thought Extremespeed Genesect was going to be a badass disaster movie.
