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.

They tried doing something with them at the start of BW, but dropped it instantly.

James is literally the best character in the anime, which granted isn't saying much.

They probably have storyboards and even one of the finished castelia episodes.

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

>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

Why is this allowed?

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

Notice Iris nor Cilan have made their cameo in Kalos and likely never will.

Giovanni doesn't care about them and just lets them do whatever they want. They barely work for Team Rocket since the Kanto saga.

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

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.

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?"

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 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.

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.
