The Return of Team Rocket

I thought it was great to see Team Rocket again--the second time around, they were more involved in the story and seemed much more dangerous.

 

Oh god, being completely honest, I thought you had found my fanfic from years ago named this exact thing and got scared... Until I read the topic.

I really liked them more the second time around. They seemed a lot more fleshed out and HGSS did a fantastic job overall with their inclusion.

I think it was one of the first games that actually made me feel like there was a sense of urgency with dealing with the villains. In most of the others, it didn't really feel that important for me, I guess.

 

I LAUGHED REALLY HARD I'M SORRY RYAN.

But I will definitely agree! I think bringing them back in the Johto games was a good idea, because it actually gave the villainous teams some closure, I guess? After you defeat them in other games they kinda disband and you don't really know what happens to them or their members (with the exception of the original Team Plasma). However you get to see that revival and eventual, final disbandment of TR, giving it a sense of closure rather than "I defeated them once so they're all gone forever".

 

Team Rocket's return in Johto did give the games a bit more of a fun twist. I like how there were different ranks of Rocket Grunts, unlike in Kanto when all of them were basically the same except for Giovanni. Although I did feel like they weren't as difficult in Johto in comparison to Kanto. It might just be me, but going through the Silph Co. against all those grunts was more work than anything we had to do against Team Rocket in Johto.

 

It's amazing to see how Team Rocket made a comeback even without their leader, Giovanni. It brings out an interesting twist to their plot in Johto and how they affect the Johto's main character.

 

I loved the return of Team Rocket. This game introduced four of my favorite villians; Petrel, Proton, Ariana, and Archer. Team Rocket is one of my favorite evil teams ever, and I would welcome a comeback.

 

I really liked Team Rocket! I think they are one of the best villain teams around.
I sure hope they show up again in a Kanto remake

 

In all honesty they seemed more frail in the second game. They were just kind of... There. They didn't impact me too much and they were never seen as much of a threat. They were scrabbling for survival. They were funny and I still love petrel but they never seemed to impact the game too much IMO.

Although, saying that they were more organised, not just one person always calling the shots.
