    Can someone please explain to me why an entire organization of villains, or of anyone for that matter, would believe that the Pokémon they kidnap will listen to them???

    I mean, if you got kidnapped, would you rather live to serve your master, or would you rather go back to the place you were before and live your life the way you want?

    Are they that stupid?!

    Yep, they're stupid all right. But Team Rocket (specifically JJ&M) are are part of the show now mostly for comic relief. And since Pokemon is a cartoon after all, it has to have at least a few stupid people.

    If you're referring to the three stooges (Meowth, James, Jessie) than yea they're stupid.

    -The organization, I think, just sells them.

    Oh, and don't forget, unlike Jessie, James, and Meowth, the actual Team Rocket is very, very cruel. I'm sure they torture Pokemon that doesn't obey them until the Pokemon breaks and begin to obey them to ignore feeling pain.

    Yeah, could you imagine the kind of torture they would give them? Aside from crack whips, I would think they would do like electric shocks to water types or water shots to fire, rock and ground types.

    To me the hole is that if they ignore Ash & co. And just switch to capturing groups of wild pokemon when no one is around they might actually win sometimes...

    Jessie and James and Meowth are definely an embarressment to Team Rocket i cant believe they show up every episode its really old that they blast off every episode. They are idiots always going after Ash and his friends pokemon and losing horriblly they get owned by like any pokemon they have its embarressing thats why the Team Rocket organization itself doesnt even recognize them as members. The Team Rocket organization is very tough and cool im surprised that they dont go into detail of the orgainzation of their base, operations, and the members themselves. The only members that we really know are J&J and Meowth we already know them all too well that they cant carry out a plan successfully, but there are many other members Cassidy&Butch we see them a couple times, Attlia&Hun they were in one movie trying to catch Raicu, Domino the girl in Mewtwo Returns all these characters dont have a backstory and me personally would like to know other people thats a shout out to all the pokemon writers.

    If you ask me, the creators made The Trio the series official "punching bags," which I think is extremely stupid. I know the characters are comic relief, but they need more depth and character developement. I mean, anyone who appears in every episode except the pilot and the flashback episodes needs to develope.

    Reviving Dead Threads are even more embarassing than that.
