Now that a new series has started, this thread has probably outlived its utility. Unfortunately, things don't look like they're going to get much better for the Rocket TRio in the immediate future, which is a shame as they were unanimously regarded as one of the few good things in an otherwise uninspiring episode this week.
Fans are not the only ones unhappy with this situation:
I've seen a couple of you asking how we act on this, so I've taken it upon myself to gather information and formulate a plan of action!:
(I am a Twitter no0b so I've gathered this information from friends/via osmosis. If anyone thinks this strategy can be improved, or knows any other relevant official accounts to Tweet at, or has anything at all to add, by all means say so and I will update this post!)
Let's go get our favourite lovely, charming villains more screentime!

Fans are not the only ones unhappy with this situation:
Musashi said:Hayashibara: We'll do anything so please, just let the Rocket-Dan appear!!
Miki: It seems like we're more looking forward to getting appearances in the show ourselves than we are with telling fans to look forward to us appearing in it (laughs)
Inuyama: Anyway, please support the Rocket-Dan. We're still in the early stages of recording (for the new series) but so far we haven't appeared all that much... That's why we hope you'll let the staff know that you want them to “put the Rocket-Dan in more episodes!” We're counting on you.
I've seen a couple of you asking how we act on this, so I've taken it upon myself to gather information and formulate a plan of action!:
1. Create a Twitter account if you don't have one already (it took me 5 minutes)
We hit Twitter because it's a quick means of communication that the anime execs are starting to engage with, with their new PR account. Also, whilst we don't have all the facts about BW, we do know that the Rocket Dan Secret Empire Twitter account was the major global platform for Rocket trio fans during the radio's run.
2. Tweet your love for the TRio, in Japanese or short, simple English sentences. (Emojis are of course an international language...)
Thanks to @Musajirou and Retsuya for providing these:
- I'm looking forward to Team Rocket in the new Pokemon series = 新しいポケットモンスターシリーズのロケット団お楽しみしています!
- Team Rocket were awesome this week! I’m looking forward to their next appearance! = 今週のロケット団かっこよかった! 次回お楽しみして!
- I missed Team Rocket this week. = 今回ロケット団出られないから寂しい。
- I hope to see Team Rocket more frequently. = ロケット団の出番がもっと多くなるように祈っています。
- I hope to see Team Rocket again soon. = ロケット団をまたすぐに見たら嬉しいです。
3. Use the #ロケット団応援団 hashtag (in English #TeamRocketCheerSquad) - Inuko did ask us to cheer them on, and this hashtag is starting to gain traction
Apparently you're meant to use the other major, relevant hashtags in conjunction to further the reach of the tweet.
- #ロケット団 and/or #TeamRocket/#RocketDan/RokettoDan/whatever takes your fancy
- #アニポケ and/or #anipoke
4. Tweet to @anipoke_PR, the official anime Twitter
- @inuko55inuyama - Inuko Inuyama who voices Nyasu
- @Sunma47 - Masafumi Mima the Sound Director and creator of the Rocket Trio's Radio Show
- @fujimarl - Junichi Fujisaku, screenwriter
5. Don't be an arse towards anime staff members, duh, and also don't make a nuisance of yourself. Whatever happens the last thing this fandom needs is any more Amourshipping/Dexit type bullshit.
