im genuinely as angry about this episode as you can get without completely losing self-awareness about the fact i'm talking about a japanese cartoon made to sell video games and plushies. team rocket was one of my favorite things about this franchise for a very long time and even the ED they picked for this episode was one of the very first videos i torrented. it took like 3 hours, didnt have any subs, and i played it on loop for hours. i was a dumbass weird kid but it made me happy, and team rocket showing up makes me happy during even the dumbest, filler nonsense episode
this episode doesnt make me happy. this episode doesnt spark joy. this episode makes me feel like im a 16 year old girl who got wined and dined by the cool kid in class with a leather jacket and then he took me out behind the grade school playground and knocked me up and now he's going around town saying he isnt the father. this is bullshit. i know team rocket is going to show up again, but it's going to be for like 10 seconds in the last episode and "haha theyll never stop chasing pikachu!" but they WILL never get to be the focus of their own episode again
this isnt just a low point for team rocket, it is THE low point, and it's their swan song. it's never been this bad, you guys. it's so over. it's so fucking over. i'm so fucking buttdevastated ive actually bothered to show up and post in /padt/ on /vp/ despite giving up on the anime years ago because it's such a pisspoor and shitty sendoff for some of my favorite bros in all of the fictional shit ive ever engaged with. how does this air? why did this air? who made this? why did they make this? all this is going to zero and the bastards doing it are running off with our wives while we're on here shitposting about it. i tried calling yuyama's mother to tell him what an embarrassment he is and she didnt even bother to pick up. she already knows he's an embarrassment. he's going to dharmically reincarnate as dungbeetle. it's already been decided
