For many years, I watched the show with my oldest daughter who loved the show, normally I could give a who-ha for this type of show, I just liked the fact my daughter liked being able to hang with her dad, but team Rocket made the show not just fun to watch, but I started looking forward to it, my favorite being Meowth, he was just a trip, then someone pointed something out to me and I felt so stupid not noticing this before, I don't know about other languages, but in English, his voice and mannerisms were obviously directly inspired or even strait copied for 80's stand up comic Gilbert Gottfried, and if anyone would disagree, go on YouTube and watch all of his works, then watch Meowth, yah, it's not a coincidence, it's a perfect imitation !!! LOL
