Hello Long. First of all, I wish You can come out on top soon enough! And yes, what makes team rocket SO special to us is completely absent here! For a comedic villanious that are doomed to fail, they gained the love we fans have for them through empathy and by showing us their more HUMAN side. And that is why their Bond with their Pokémon feel so realistic, to the point of overshadowing Ash and co's bonds with their Pokémon from time to time! For example, arbok and weezing. Their personalities may not be too explored, but their are two thing that Will always stick out about those two besides being Their first Pokémon and their sad release. One, they evolved FOR their trainers. Two, during the Giant Pokémon episode, when they, meowth and Ash's Pokémon where separated from their trainers, these two refused to attack Pikachu and co. At meowth's request, stating that they are not evil. They just do evil thing for Jessie and James! Come on, journeys! Pull yourself together!

[@GreenJuiceGuy27]

Hey Rangerboy, I don't think team rockets gatcha machine is in itself a problem. The real problem is with the way it is being handled. What the writers should do is have team rocket catch and use their own pokemon on a regular basis, such as morpeko and chewtle, but bring out the gacha machine only on special occasions when the plot of the episode necessitates team rocket to give ash a threatening challenge. Furthermore, only big, scary pokemon, such as hydragon and rampardos should come out of the gatcha machine, NOT, unevolved pokemon like drilbur and or bunery. That way everyone wins. Team rocket gets to have permanent Pokémon which they form strong bonds with (which ultimately easily lose to ash) and the gacha machine can be viewed as a treat which brings epic, tense, close, memorable battles between ash and team rocket when the plot calls for it. This dynamic can give us the best of both the goofy, but wholesome team rocket seen in sun and moon and the serious, threatening team rocket seen in best wishes. Anyway, let me know what you think

When Journeys first started, I was under the belief that Team Rocket would ditch the gacha machine once they caught Pokemon of their own, and was really expecting them to be the Chewtle and Morpeko, but they didn't do that and it really disappoints me. I couldn't put my finger on why Team Rocket felt so forgettable in Journeys, thanks for putting it into words.

You take away that emotional connection between Jessie, James, and Meowth with the pokemon Jessie and James get, you take away what makes them great characters. Even though I knew about the gacha machine, I thought they would still give Jessie and James pokemon to have that connection with. However, if that is not happening, then heck yes Journeys ruined Team Rocket.

Team Rocket heart and spirit was taken out but we are left with empty vessel. The Gotcha machine made battle interesting using different and more powerful Pokémon but removed the journey aspect. They just turn into minor grunt like from team skull or flare now.

[@solarpunch333]

I'm so glad someone has finally bought this up! I have been a massive fan of team rocket for years and seeing them get turned into purely comedic characters is upsetting. Not only were their own Pokemon a strong part of their characters, but also their backstories. I remember watching Meowths backstory episode, and listening to nyaasu no uta and really relating to it when I was younger. Ever since gen 5 they've kinda forgotten about that, which is a shame because I'd love to see them explore the deeper, more sad aspect of TR

[@nicholetheotter1957]

Team Rocket are definitely at a new low character-wise. With the episodic nature, Goh hogging all the screentime, and trying to promote every Pokemon at once, Journeys definitely is the worst series of the anime, and one we’d all want to be forgotten when Gen 9 rolls around.

[@JoshusBarber]

Pokémon Journeys feels so underwhelming. Every character, including Ash and Goh, feel like they’re only there for the sake of being there. It’s like Journeys only exists to fill time until the Gen 9 anime comes out. If Journeys just ended right now, I don’t think anybody would miss it. Ash caught a Dragonite and Lucario, Pokémon which we have wanted Ash to catch for years now, and it feels so boring. Journeys is just Sun and Moon, but without the interesting characters, without Team Rocket, without the cool Pokémon, without the emotion moments, without the comedy, and without the character development.

[@goGothitaLOL]

They're only using Goh and Team Rocket less like characters and more like tools to make every pokemon have an appearance (except Porygon line), alongside all the fillers

[@davidedalterio4979]

Another thing about TRio that should be mentioned is the incoherency. The beginning of JN is pretty similiar to BW and SM, with them actually being recommended by Giovanni instead of just following Ash; but that being said, the difference between JN and the previous 2 Gens is that, in those occasions, Team Rocket's treatment by their Boss derived from actual achievements they managed to look like they got - that being the "victories" against Team Galactic and Team Flare. The Sun&Moon anime literally ended with TRio returning to the HQ with empty hands, so why should Giovanni be proud of them to the point of giving a secret weapon? That's honestly some very poor writing.

[@raymaikeru]

Well that, or maybe it is just a thing that Giovanni is saying "this isn't working so we'll do this my method". Like Giovanni's proud to present the gatcha machine, and since he knew they failed capturing Pokemon and such, he just says "Fine. This time we're using my secret weapon, and this time you do it my way". I don't know that's my head canon anyway.

[@thecake6635]

Remember how much the fandom rejoiced when TRio got a DUB in SM?

I don’t even particularly care about Team Rocket but I completely agree with you. When it comes to Journeys, it really doesn’t feel like they quite get either Ash or Team Rocket because, with both, they essentially have diluted them down to basic attributes at the cost of the full characters

[@kamarismith9422]

Since Team Rocket is traveling the world in Journeys, I'm surprised the writers didn't just let them have their old pokemon that they left at HQ. Like, they don't have to worry about their pokemon not being native to a region since they're always on the move.

I definitely agree with you with this long. Although Team Rocket has been doing the same thing since day 1, the nice thing is seeing how they bond with heir Pokemon, and that is something I always love about in the Pokémon anime. Seeing how Pokémon interact with their trainers, whether it’s the good guys or bad guys. Journeys seems to disregard that fact, but I at least hope that the writers will consider that, and write team rocket better for journeys

[@funiiku]

It may be controversial, but I feel that Pokemon Journeys ruined not only Team Rocket but The Pokemon Anime as a whole. I am watching it since the Diamond and Pearl era and even during Sun and Moon mostly I wasn't bored about the episodes. But now most of the time watching trailers for the next week episode makes me don't care about it. The last episode I've spent jumping the scenes forward, still understanding the episode and still don't caring about it. The last two parters literally gave me a headache. Even taking how bad the first half of Sun and Moon was it had better filler episodes. Journeys had such great potential and just like a whole fandom I was really excited about it. I know the writers want to make this season fresh and mix up the formula but it just makes it worse. The worst thing is the episodic nature of this season. I get that they probably want to make more money by showing them in TV in any order and show it to kids over and over again but it just stopped looking like a journey. Sorry for the long post but I had to let out my disappointment with what is going on

[@Emobullymaguire]

The first half of Sun and Moon had some of the best rated episodes in the entire anime so it can’t be considered “bad”.

[@alditoification]

To be honest... I find Team Rocket overrated. I used to love them, but now I feel they never evolve as villains. Why are they still villains anyway? I feel that people are giving Ash too much crap over the years, and always giving Team Rocket a pass.

[@nebbynetwork2089]

I think team rocket will get there own pokemon in time instead of using the gocha machine I miss the bond they have with there pokemon like dustox and cacnia

[@raymaikeru]

I find it really odd, Team Rocket trio nowadays. Like to be honest they could just not always focus on Pikachu and do their job: capture other Pokemon. I am not saying I hate Team Rocket, I am just saying that you think that with their job as being Team Rocket, they would steal other Pokemon and not JUST Pikachu. I feel like that could've spiced up TR and you know, do something different for a change. Plus isn't Team Rocket and Ash on a sort of semi-friendly relationship in some ways? I mean Team Rocket trio has helped Ash in the past. I don't know. I didn't watch Journeys past episode 5 because of school, and it seems like I didn't miss much. Now I'm gonna go head back and write my head canon on the adventure in Galar except differently or improving.

[@colecronin7660]

How do you go from sun & moon team rocket to journeys team rocket?

[@detroitgamer006]

Honestly I never cared for team rocket so I don't really care if the series ruined them I stopped liking team rocket after gen 4 cause that time I started to get out of the anime because I was growing up into my teens and it was kind of getting old to me just having them trying to steal a new Pokémon and they get stopped and never win. So there was no excitement in watching those shows unless something canon happened in it. They have hundreds of episodes of that. I didn't even like them in gen 7 but I always liked their Pokémon. They should just give Giovanni a good arc and at the end they get disbanded. I was hoping this would happen in gen 5 but they just kept returning and failing at being bad guys. Giovanni is a better character cause he was a gym leader and he is the Leader of team rocket. So they should have Ash and Goh take down team rocket once and for all like how red did in the game. but I know they wont do this because they want team rocket in the show. I just wished they were better villains. cause you know they're gonna lose its just when and how they will. But other arcs like the gym battle and leagues episodes are always fun to watch. But a perfect example is with the team flare arc, the mini arc with chairman rose and even the team rocket arc in gen 5 when Giovanni is the main villian for the arc are good arcs. So I wish they would do something like that and have their story be done by disbanding the team. They can even have jessie and James work at Professor Cerise lab so they can still be in the episode and be working with Ash and Goh as lab assistance Sorry if I get anybody mad this is just how I feel about team rocket

[@lamiamekni2802]

With out a doubt man, like wtf I've lost everything to hope since the ep where the team rocket return the pokemon they've stolen, really what's the point of adding team rocket to the show now?

[@Karma-bv3fw]

Felt it was off ever since the first time I heard the dub's theme song and it had no mention of Pokémon in it. Not to mention the Grookey episode, it just cemented the whole Team Rocket not feeling the same for me. The trio has always released their Pokémon or given them to other trainers when the Pokémon wanted it or when it was in their best interest to. Not to mention that James was always the one who had attachments to Grass types stereotypically! Just doesn't feel like the same anime series anymore.

And in where they are taken power from house they were just trying to feed they food eating Pokémon, so they can eat and ash and goh don’t see team rocket hungry at all and they gave back the power and ash’s pikachu uses thunderbolt on them and that is just mean to do to team rocket and pikachu is a monster and ash and goh are too a monster as well.

[@JDjade1]

Completely agree. I totally hated that Gatcha machine(dont know how to spell it) since the beginning. But its definitely more than that. I think, with the exception of the Ditto episode, Team Rocket has been a complete afterthought in Pokemon Journeys. Team Rocket had its biggest momentum from late Gen4 to the end of Gen 6. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to revamp them in some way or write them out of the anime.

[@silverslayer6262]

Personally, I feel like team rocket ruined journeys, they showed up in the most worse times. I rarely remember any good episodes that have them show up at random just to cause constant conflict against ash, except for the development episodes they used to have.

[@FictionRaider007]

Them ditching the Prize Machine towards the end of Journeys is a good sign they'll return to getting their own Pokemon next season. However, I think another reason they've been more forgettable is simply due to the fact they're in a lot less episodes in Journeys. Used to be they'd be in almost every episodes, but in the new series they can go ten episodes without putting in an appearance. I think each new series of Pokemon does some things better than others and some things worse. Galar wasn't a great run for the Team Rocket trio (not to say it was completely bad) but that doesn't mean when we move into the new region they don't regain elements we like about them.

[@lamiamekni2802]

Well they brought this to themselves, if only they left Ash and his companions alone

[@sumayyahqamar2007]

4:40-4:42 I... I can't do this anymore!!!!!!!!

[@NexXxu]

I think the trio needs to be more serious(likes BW) and they need to explore more the past of Jessie, James and Meowth(how did they get on the Team Rocket?)

[@raymaikeru]

They did that already. The episode was in Pokemon Chronicles episode 12.

[@josephadormeo4955]

Meowth was done in Indigo League. The three all have their past shown in at least gens 1 2 3

[@poppie267]

serious team rocket ? their already tried that and most people (rightfully) hated that chance.

[@poppie267]

@@raymaikeru in the first season the background of jessie and james are different. they went to school together and joined a bikers gang togeter before going to team rocket. and meowht was giovannies favouritte (or so he says)

[@dirty2881]

well they have to advertise pokemon masters ex somehow man gou is for pokemon go and TR is master ex mobile games make them so much money its not even funny lol their pokemon having personality again? yea not in this new era of pokemon man

[@grobar12356]

I'm sorry Long, but they have been ruined since the beginning of the anime. BW were okay I guess, but they didn't use the potential given.

[@gouravroy8878]

Pokémon Journeys also don't focus on Gen 8 Just because of Goh 🙄💔

[@rubyfarr8831]

I hope next time they correct this mistake, as I love the emotional side of them

[@r4nd0mguy99]

Jessy and James shouldn't be villains to begin with, unless they're actually capable of it (like in the beginning of Unova and the first actual episode of Journeys (Pikachu's flashback doesn't count. That Pokemon is everywhere.). Morpeko shouldn't exist. It's literally just a Pikachu covered in ice cream. Why is THAT the only electric dark type in all 8 generations?!

[@Solistellaz]

I think they should have a all pokemon reunion of like all the pokemon they had together as a full team

[@TheChildhoodGod]

Here's my ranking of every team rocket from worst to best: 7. Original series - 2/10 - THEY APPEAR IN EVERY EPISODE, ESPECIALLY HOENN ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 6. Journeys - 2/10 - THE GACHA MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5. X and Y - 3/10 - One positive, they don't appear in every episode! THAT'S IT!! 4. Advanced - 5/10 - Love their focused episodes, and James, but still a bit the same as the original series 3. Diamond and Pearl - 7/10 - Contests, and connections, not too annoying! That's all folks! 2. Sun and Moon - 9/10 - Mastering Z moves, going to the pokemon league, and their characters themselves! 1. Black and White - 9/10 - They were serious for the whole series! Except for the decolore islands

[@imperfectmyst]

Team rocket REALLY Overstated there welcome to where they didn't even need to be here in journeys

[@poppie267]

yes they do because they are very popular.

[@meow2197]

Tbh sun and moon changed everything, I liked the old ways

[@queeny5613]

They are acc really good I love them goodnight

[@Juliame]

The gacha was really cool at first but now it's just repetetive, boring and keeping them from telling interesting team rocket stories. I liked where they were going with Grookey but so far it doesn't seem like they're gonna bring up the fact it came from Team Rocket again :/

[@futabanarugonzalez3399]

I still wished Marnie would appear in the anime

[@tylerensminger]

I think gacha may have been a little better if team Rocket were more of a serious threat but everything you said here I can't disagree with at all
