I MEAN IT COULD BE FOR REAL THIS TIME THAT THEY QUIT! As long as they stay as a trio. Team Rocket is more succesful in other stuff than stealing pokemon anyway

 

[BigDocFan]

Team Rocket quitting, very unlikely

I predict they'll quit before going back to their jobs

Eh we had that dozen of times before

 

[Rainbow-Rain]

No more stinky Gatcha Machine?

Au Revoir Team Rocket! It's been a good run!

 

[Sai]

Don't they make an ep like this once a series? There was one in Battle Frontier and DP like this.

After 20 years it would be about time. It is sad if it took them SO long to realise it!

 

[BigDocFan]

There's more chance of Ash's Pikachu evolving into Raichu then Team Rocket splitting up permanently

Hope Ash and Goh take a backseat this episode

Ha you are going to eat those words if it actually happens

I'll happily admit I was wrong if it does indeed happen but as they say, I'll believe it when I see it

Fair. They did alot of fake-outs in the past, but I feel like it is different somehow this time around. With how less the Trio appears and such...

I think it’s worth nothing that the title has no question marks that usually leave the claim of the episode names up in the air… Really interested to see where they go with this story

It wouldnt surprise me if they start to think how they got mistreated all those years and are stronger as a Trio on there own

 

[Eitarou]

The writers have listened to all the Gatchat complaints. The TRio are being written out, and now Pelipper and the Gatchat are the villains.

 

[BigDocFan]

Just had a thought, could Meowth go to spend time with Chloe I wonder, he'd certainly be better of with her than with Jessie and James

 

[Unireon]

So, they have decided to break another established trend.

It is the end of an Era, the Post-TRio one is waiting.

Certainly, I wouldn't be bothered by this change.

 

[nickdt]

Uh oh... if they write TRio out, then Ash is next, since it makes no sense having him without them.

AG176 and DP117 vibes (BTW, I think these were very good episodes)

Rational Brain
Good:

• FINALLY some focus, thank fuck.
• Potential for some heartwarming emotional payoff that reminds us why the TRio are the most rounded characters on the cast.

Bad:

• Potential to completely fuck-up the heartwarming emotional payoff we all so desperately need in any number of ways.
• Having to read weeks of repetitive and ultimately pointless speculation about whether they will actually split up/leave the Rocket Gang/leave the show altogether (spoiler alert: no guys that is not happening in the middle of a series, with zero buildup.)

Irrational Brain:
BE STILL MY BEATING HEART TOO MANY FEELINGS TO PROCESS

Will we see bad Hamtaro here?
