one thing i like a lot about team rocket not being in every single episode now is that whenever theres a “mystery episode” where we gotta figure out where a pokemon or an item went, it doesnt default to team rocket being the culprit, so the mysteries are less predictable and repetitive

#honestly i dont think you appreciate team rocket trio not being in some episodes until you watch the episodes in order #and literally every single episode is the same general plot of them doing the exact same thing over and over #which like…. ik its an advertising show and it doesnt need to be deep and varied but good god its exhausting #(and its weirder bc the plot is serialized so ur obviously supposed to follow along and watch each episode?#you can pick out plot episodes in hindsight ofc but if u watch while its airing u just get a lot of duds #man im thinking abt how weird pokeani is now. i dont know is this is a genre of show even #bc other video game animes are way more streamlined #and even other long running anime have small arcs to justify the length #and popularity #and other long shows that dont do that are status quo comedies that dont have a serialized narrative like spongebob #and those also dont have 120+ episodes per season #the more i think about it the weirder pokeani is. i don’t necessarily mean this in a bad way #but its weird to think about. and interesting #also im probably missing some other show idk. like ik one piece is over 1000 episodes long too #but iirc thats a serialized show as well so idk #echoed voice
