Giovanni inspired all of these knock-off teams. Giovanni simply wanted to industrialize Pokemon and have unlimited influence which will create a theoretical "world domination." But the problem with industrializing is the potential drop in quality, which will result in mistreatment of Pokemon in negligent hands. His chase for power was to show others that he was responsible enough to harness the power of Pokemon, and send Pokemon and mankind ascending to new heights, thus Team Rocket is formed. Over the years of being labeled a corporate thug and political gangster, along with a failed relationship of a high school sweetheart that resulted in a child being born (Silver) simply for child support and alimony, He then shut out everything and became a monster only doing what he pleases, and became a product of the media's influence. His army, once built on the premises of "Protecting the world from devastation; uniting all people within all nations, denouncing the evils of truth and love while extending their reach to the stars above," Became infected with corrupt individuals, Obsessed fans of his that will die for him and believes the misinterpretations the media portrayed Team Rocket to be. He should have stopped it while it was small, yet it grew out of hand very quickly. Now they bring him money and rare Pokemon. Why not enjoy this until he dies?
His father is heartbroken that he lost his way, his son denounced him. The woman he loved used him. Why not watch the world burn?
Tl;dr: In short, Giovanni was an extremely successful and powerful, although controversial man with a heart of gold that stopped believing in his ideology of a "Functional Totalitarian World." Now he is just "one of the powerful men."
