#team rocket stalking children and doing the exact same thing every episode to the point I get really excited when they're not in an episode

[lollitree]

I’m 14 episodes away from the XYZ anime season and it cannot come sooner I’m so sick of Team Rocket

#this series got stale SO fast it's just the same thing over and over and over #team rocket stalking children and doing the exact same thing every episode to the point I get really excited when they're not in an episode #normally I love jesse and james but please #stop shoehorning them into everything it's so annoying #I've only watched 10 episodes of sun/moon so far but I've enjoyed it SO much more because every episode is different enough #the worst episodes are when the gang go to places that had team flare plot in the games #because it's just a lamer version with team rocket #why are they there doing that they have no reason to their plots are always so plot convenient #I'm REALLY hoping XYZ will be different because at the very least it has team flare and alain in it #I just want to finish it so I can get to sun/moon #and then journeys #because from what I've seen of journeys it looks really good #plus the characterisation and world building in sun moon is reaaally good so far #and also the few battles I've seen so far have been really interesting #also I might just be grumpy because the whole reason I was watching the anime in the first place was to see what they did with characters #specifically the rival friends sycamore and diantha #I was at first curious about the flare plot but after learning sycamore and lysandre aren't friends in the anime what's the point #plus I've read Lysandre is just a straight up horrible person in the anime ahaha #so I don't think I'll learn anything or get any inspiration from watching that plot #but might as well
