Pokémon
ThePokémonanime had no dearth of potential villains to choose from , but it drop the ball when it issue forth to one of the franchise ’s most famous villain : Giovanni . Team Rocket ’s leader appeared somewhat frequently , but seldom did anything pregnant .
Giovanni is well sleep with as the loss leader of Team Rocket , and thus appear in the anime on a unconstipated basis as the boss to Jessie and James , and would continue to do so almost throughout its run . Despite this fact , however , Ash only come face - to - face with Giovanni himselfone time , in theBlack and Whiteera , over 750 episodes deep into the series . Giovanni was mainly see commanding thing from behind the scenes , and only took to the field of battle very rarely , with the only other example beingMewtwo Returns . Unfortunately , this led to the character being entirely neutralise .
Giovanni Would’ve Made An Excellent Final Boss for Ash
Giovanni Could Have Been Used Far Better
Team Rocket ’s frequent menacing of Ash and Pikachu certainly meant Ash was well aware of the organization . While after malefic squad were adapted into the anime and sport in storylines where they were eventually vote out , Giovanni ’s video game plot line went unadjusted . Team Rocket was just as active in the first episode of the gum anime as they were in the final instalment , making them the only malign team who was n’t absolutely kill by Ash ( or at least in Ash ’s presence ) . It ’s a shame , as there were some great opportunities to make use of Giovanni in a more hands - on way .
One splendid storyline from the game is Team Rainbow Rocket , which sees an alternate interpretation of Giovanni assembling a crew of previous malign squad leaders . This take place inUltra SunandUltra Moon , which is dress in the Alola region , where Team Rocket was just active besides Jessie and James . It would ’ve made for a fantastic story electric discharge for the anime , which had already dealt with substitute dimensions for the Ultra beast , and given Ash the chance to finally front down Giovanni in engagement . It would ’ve been a keen triumph , and set him up for his success in the Alola League .
Pokémon Journeys Needed to End Team Rocket
The Anime Should’ve Made Defeating Team Rocket a Priority
Alternatively , Pokémon Journeysshould’ve provided an ending for Team Rocket , either before or after the Masters ' Eight , where Giovanni could launch a Modern plan , only to be cross by Ash , prompt him to dissolve Team Rocket as he does in the game . This would n’t necessarily affect Jessie and James , as they could remain truehearted to Giovanni and Team Rocket regardless and remain operating as they did before , assuming the writers wanted to keep them around .
Regardless of how it find , Giovanni and Team Rocket should ’ve been take down by the end of the serial publication , and that simply was n’t the case . As an evil team , they were severely underused , or else being relegated to Jessie and James ' prank , with only the periodic appearance by other Team Rocket members . Pokémonmissed a boastful opportunity by neutralize Giovanni , and it ’s unfortunate that his comeupance may never come in the gum anime now .
