I'll be honest, I hated Best Wishes because the change of behavior of the team rocket trio was too radical and without explanation. As a fan I was really not at all prepared for this emotionally: No more tearful separation with their pokemon, no more friendly interactions between Jessie, James and Meowth.
In the first part of the saga: their camouflage outfits, their balloon, their mecha suddenly became dull. All about them was only dark: they never laughed, not joking, no longer seem really happy.
Everything that seemed important to them was their job and the "sake of Sakaki-Sama" they seem to have lost all their values and their freedom.
They might well have become competents without losing ther lovely-charming side and individuality and their friendly interactions. But here, they was looking like some grunts among many others without all the unique touches of originality and fantasy that made them unique and different.
The majority of their appearances seem to be pieces of a cut episode, thrown here when they had nothing to do with the rest of the story of the day. :/
It seemed clear that they had no more their place in the adventures of Ash and they were going to leave. Their serious missions were just an excuse to find them a new occupation other than the "Pikachu" goal.
We have never even had a concrete explanation of why they had been a supposed promotion. Or why "*they suddenly changed their uniforms from black to white" (*it was probably a tribute to the death of shudo)
But the motto animations were always great and beautiful.
