Team Rocket...Jessie, James and Meowth...heh, the villains you just love to hate. They're kinda the reason why I was turned off Pok?mon so easily. I mean, their motto was only entertaining for the first three episodes, they use the same crappy Pok?mon (if they wanted to catch Pikachu so badly, why don't they catch a Ground-type first?) and for the bad guys in a kid's show, they're, how to put this, docile. I remember a Johto episode where they try and steal sap off a tree. Wow. Criminal genius at work. Even a five year old would get sick of that.
Where do they get the money to pay for all their stuff? Hot air baloons, costumes, giant mechas, electric-proof armour...? I don't think Giovanni pays them that well. If they didn't waste all that money, they could've retired already...
