>>46141604>them giving Giovanni a backstory and reason for randomly turning goodHonestly, this.
In the games, Giovanni becomes good because "oh no you beat me i gotta disband team rocket because of the shame", a really stupid fucking reason, whereas in Origin, Giovanni progressively starts to realize over the course of his battles that Red reminds him of himself as a kid, during a time where Pokemon meant the world to him and he succumbs to the sentimentality.
The Charmanderino meme is still funny exactly because of that oversimplification and it rustles everyone's jimmies.
