Probably of the anime's most divisive characters, the Team Rocket trio debuted in the second episode and proceeded to appear in every episode for the rest of the first three series. They've drawn some ire for showing up in episodes when it would be better for them not to, but have an equally vocal set of fans who love their amusing banter. BW took the detractors' side and limited the amount of episodes they appeared in while playing them up as more of a threat, but this alienated some of their old fans who believed they weren't as entertaining that way. XY and SM tried to reconcile the two arguments by reverting them to their more comedic selves, but still limiting their amount of appearances. However, it seems as though OLM and TPC are having trouble finding the right balance, as both TRio-focused and TRio-free episodes have received mixed reactions. Hearing those reactions, I decided to bring this debate to light--do you love or hate Team Rocket? Or somewhere in between?
