It was a much needed change of tone for them and I remember many fans (including me) loving it too initially.

The worst thing? Why? I liked their characterization, they were smarter and evil, I don't see the problem. To be honest, I miss that Team Rocket and not the comic relief they were since the beginning

Nah, it genuinely had a positive effect on them overall. Before this they appeared in EVERY episode. Without this change I really don't think they would have remained as lovable. Episodes were no longer obligated to feature them and so stories both with and without them benefitted immensely.

It was good and a nice change, but it was all ruined by the Plasma v Rocket episode getting canned and forcing them back to the status quo with no fanfare.

Unironically better than BW

The vending machine is a 10/10 idea
The problem was not giving them a permanent pokemon

How so? The comic relief schtik they had going was a dead horse they dug up and beat some more in X&Y. In BW they actually felt like an evil team, like they actually posed a threat.

You can thank mother nature for that sadly.

I don't think we would see it. The anime is notorious for shit like this, Porygon and even it's entire evolution line haven't shown up in the anime after it's infamous episode.

They "dug it up" not because of the canned Plasma v Rocket, but because people weren't too thrilled about Team Rocket like that.

I liked it at first, but that's only because I expected them to do something. They're best for comedy relief since Ash isn't allowed to have some meaningful opposition.

Them "feeling like a threat" is the key phrase here. In reality they never actually did anything and was worse in the long run.

I love the idea of HQ just always lending them tough pokemon. But I wish Peliper just gave them two Pokeballs instead of the vending machine.

Bullshit. just look up on the forums and the comments section from 10 years ago and its a complete opposite of what you said.

Porygon is understandable because the anime was responsible for that tragedy. What the FUCK does Pokemon have to do with the fact that earthquakes happen in Japan every other week?

The 2011 earthquake was still fresh enough to most, and I doubt it will go away as long as the the Nuke Plant is still leaking radiation.

Look up threads after the team rocket vs team plasma episodes being delayed then. That was around the time people realized it was still the same shit, just different tone.

I'm kinda waiting for the day someone goes over to them and just tells them "Hey... you know you could just capture a Pokemon and befriend it normally? It'll be way stronger and fight harder because of how much they care about you and want to see you succeed."
>Also you could be making millions of dollars off of having Meowth here teach other Pokemon how to read, write, and talk.

They already did this at the start. Jessie and James loved Weezing and Arbok. James loved Victribel even though it ate him up all the time.
