They would be very villainous, you're right. Wouldn't they win? I'm not sure Team Rocket are allowed to do that. Team Rocket don't win nearly enough, for a conflict across lots of series. So if they did it is all good. Otherwise it's excruciatingly tiring and too frequent. Good point! They are among one of the most drab suspense-less types of conflict I've seen in stories or series. I like how you described that.

I'd change that. Why didn't the Meowth?

I'd change that. Why didn't the Meowth? The Meowth thinks it's a Pikachu, so it mostly acts cutesy.

Why have such villains if nothing is done with them? It makes the whole earlier period seem like a waste. They could have been decent villains, yet no.

It does seem like the anime mostly includes Team Rocket as a target for acts of bravado. The anime generally seems to only include Team Rocket to downplay them. To be fair, the anime is often slightly childish and silly. The existence of an evil team is seemingly so disturbing to it that Team Rocket only feature to downplay themselves and reduce the villainy to comic fodder. It's an anime with conflict at its heart, yet its 'moral' is usually the opposite. Team Rocket segments feature as something like incomplete conflict resolution. The anime was typically so caught up in conflict resolution that it couldn't develop the conflict too much. When the anime tried to do something properly, it usually threw in a tame ending because it couldn't deal with it.

That's a deep approach. I appreciate it. I agree, the Pokémon anime has to sanitise so many things that it wastes Team Rocket on doing that. I think Team Rocket could be alright in a otheer anime.

So here's a superior Team Rocket.
Team Rocket: Greetings we are the Team Rocket.
Pikachu: Pika!
Team Rocket: A Pikachu. What a pathetic rodent.
Pikachu's Trainer Guy: How dare you insult the Pokémon I have? It is so important for me!
Pikachu: Pika!
Team Rocket: You're right, how dare we insult the Pikachu! Well, we'll take it and toughen it up until we can compliment it...
Pikachu's Trainer Guy: How dare you steal my Pikachu! I will send you blasting off, Team Rocket!
Team Rocket: It doesn't matter if you send us blasting off, because you are banned. HA!
Team Rocket: The banhammer strikes again!
FINI.
See how this Team Rocket is superior.

Why don't they use a Litten, though?
