So far, 30 episodes of Sun & Moon have aired in Japan. And so far, the Rocket trio's been missing from a whopping thirteen of them. They'll be absent from next week's episode as well.
So, like, what the hell? It doesn't make sense for Sun & Moon to be this jokey gag show and yet not use its most well-known comic relief characters for nearly half the series. It doesn't make sense for the trio's target to be living in the same neighborhood for months, without showing any signs of going anywhere, and yet not be hanging around 24/7 ready to pounce at a moment's notice. It doesn't make sense for the trio to be given all these Alolan pokemon, and a Z-Crystal, and then not actually show up to promote any of them.
At first I thought maybe there was some issue with paying the voice actors (Megumi Hayashibara can't be cheap these days!), especially with how large the regular cast is, but then I noticed that she still shows up as Mokuroh and other bit parts even in the episodes where the Rockets are MIA. Same with Shinichirou Miki. The voice actors are in the studio anyway and yet their characters are still being left out.
Does anyone else feel as frustrated about this as I am?
