Has anyone else noticed that the Team Rockets dialogue is starting to get more and more unecessarily poetic and complex?
Throughout the whole of the Sinnoh saga, its like 90% of their dialogue was rhyming phrases and alliterations.
Has anyone else notice this? I liked it when they just spoke plain English.
Nah, im not referring to the motto (although i miss the old one). It just suddenly struck me while watching the latest episode yesterday, that their dialogue is unecessarily extensive.
Instead of a simple, "We've been looking for you all night", they insist on saying something like "we've been foraging the forest for you all the live-long night". Catchy sentences like these are okay once in a while, but not when it accounts for 90% of your entire dialogue. Excessive much?
I think that Team Rocket has gotten lame lately also, in fact any attack (now) hurts them by exploding I don't like that one bit, in fact back then the attacks use to not explode unless there was a machine involved... Differences is that
old
Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Team Rocket and they got an electrifying experience.
now
Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Team Rocket and they got an electrifying experience and the attack exploded and they 'blast off again'
A machine back then was the trigger for such blast offs
AND SOMETIMES THE WIND FROM ATTACKS ALSO TRIGGER for such blast offs as well.
Its like this on the Pokémon Animé now
Pikachu used Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt used Explosion.
I'm going wow what a lame perspective on thunderbolt.
(OF COURSE I AM REVIEWING SOME OLD EPISODES CURRENTLY SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT)
Back in my day Team Rocket might've caught Pikachu.
But I do agree their Prepare for Trouble lines have been getting pretty crappy. I'm okay with changing it every episode, but when you have to resort to really distant idioms and metaphors, then you've gone too far.
How about in Isshu they actually do catch Pikachu, but it's only a wild one? Then they'll think they've been successful and go away forevrars.

Have you ever noticed that Team Rocket really doesn't care about Pikachu anymore? They just do their own crap and when Ash inevitably comes along they go "Dangit it's them"
I don't remember them mentioning Pikachu as an object of lust since they got to sinnoh |
