Whenever I’m watching Pokemon, and Team Rocket shows up, that is a clear sign to me that the episode has been entirely ruined. I have not smiled once while Jessie and James are onscreen unless they are in pain. I loath these fuckers and everything about them. Meowth is kinda cool, but he only serves as an enabler for whatever bullshit Team Rocket is about to spread to the protagonists today.

They are annoying, played for laughs, and only serve to stretch out the time of the episode while we could be watching much cooler stuff. I remember groaning a few times while watching the show when it pans to their binocular vision, which means they’re in this episode.

And apparently I’m the only one who feels this way. Nearly the entire rest of the fanbase thinks that actual terrorists who get away nearly scot free in each and every terrorist attack and are unaffected by the law are cute or a good part of the show. Of course I don’t think they’re cool, hell, I’d flip the switch to give them both a lethal injection. It’s what they fucking deserve.

If I were Ash I’d just realize the only thing they’ve developed an actual bond with is their Pokemon, kill their Pokemon, and send them packing with the promise that if I EVER see those fuckos again they’d be next… And then alert Officer Jenny to them and haul them to jail. I’d be fucking Fortnite dancing in my living room if Team Rocket went to jail in an episode. I’d be throwing a damn party and inviting all my friends over to whip and nae nae as James is forced to watch Jessie get the lethal injection. That’s an episode I’d like to see over Ash becoming League Champion any day.

I like the rest of the show though, Clemont’s got the drip.
