The Rocket trio's lack of screentime in Sun & Moon is honestly kind of appalling

[SinnohEevee]

How about this? Team Rocket and Team Skull fight over who should have the comical relief role this series.

 

[Hassel]

^ You'd think that the "lack" of TR would lead to more Team Skull screentime, but it hasn't at all really.

 

[PkmnTrainerV]

I'd prefer Team Rocket by far. I've not been able to digest Team Skull (in game personality as well as anime).

What's the point of having TS if they're just going to be Alolan Rockets, when TR is around?

 

[MarshiyanMisutaa]

I expect that they'll not appear till the end of Akala mini-arc, sans random cameos.

This seems to be the case after all.

 

[KyseL]

This seems to be the case after all.

They literally appear right at the beginning of today's episode.

Yes? That was a cameo.

 

[Alola]

It's been a while since I've had my Mimikyu fix...

 

[Dogasu]

Their little scene in this week's episode, while nice, was really kind of shit from a screentime point of view. So disappointing.

I hope that "emergency meeting" event thing being held here in Japan next week will shed some light on what the hell is going on with the Rocket trio in this series.

 

[Silktree]

It does sound like an urgent announcement, lol.

I'm betting on another radio show that serves to compensate for their lack of screentime. Been there and done that, but I guess the Japanese fans will like it.

 

[ii kanji]

I'm this → . ok with this situation. I find it extremely hard to believe that whatever their announcement is that it can compensate for their current lack of screen time.

 

[SinnohEevee]

I hope someone asks about Cassidy and Butch.

Sorry I've not been following as closely as usual, would you mind elaborating on this emergency meeting? Is it to address the dire SM Anime?

Oh, I thought it was an actual emergency meeting

 

[Silktree]

Just 100 people? How cruel.

 

[Gabo2oo]

I honestly thought they'd have a meaningful role in the Wishiwashi episode after seeing them narrate the preview. Oh, we were SO bamboozled. And by the looks of it, they won't have any role in the following episodes either?!

 

[Galactic_V]

I hope too they clarify things on this event... Imagine another radio show? lol, I'd love it xD

 

[Gabo2oo]

"Emergency meeting" sounds kinda spooky, to be honest.
I hope it's good news and not some farewell announcement that ties into a poorly-made two-parter Rocket finale.

 

[Silktree]

Lol, if that happened, they'd still be back after a few months. Never bought their farewell for a minute.
