Robotics

[Lethal Carnivine]

You know how Team Rocket always seems to use their weird robots to capture the twerp's Pokemon. What do you think their real readon is? Is it because they're scared of batlling the twerps face to face. Is it because they gain some sort of superiority complex with big giant robots? Or is it any other reason you can think of.

It's great having a sword, but even better having a sword, a shield, AND a suit of armour.

That's pretty much Team Rocket's position. The twerps only have a sword (their Pokemon), while the Team Rocket mecha's act as both an offensive weapon and a defensive tactic; on many occassions their robots protect them from attacks.

Unfortunately, due to oversights on Team Rocket's part and some incredible luck for the twerps, the gaps in the defensive chain mail are always found and exploited, as it were.

That is a great analogy you made. I personally think Team Rocket is just as competent at catching Pokemon the good old fashioned way that they don 't really need robots. I think they buse it as a means of making theb twerps feel small and themselves feel powerful(which of course they are not)

 

[deuxhero]

The real question about the whole giant robot thing is how they afford these things when they are consantly shown to be starving

Another issue with it is that pitholes seems to have worked just as well as the robots (if not better) and were much cheeper.

I think they should have a Pokemon Robot league. Were Ash and the gang build huge Pokemon robots, like Team Rocket does, and use them to battle each other.

Hah! XD

That would be a great idea for an episode! ^_^


I can see it now. Some random filler episode in D/P, could be about Ash and his friends, Team Rocket, and other people competiting in a "Pokemon-Robot Battle Competition" or a contest like, "Build The Best and Coolest Pokemon-Robot". XD!!


EDIT: Come to think of it, they already did something like that in "Wish Upon A Starshape". Although, Team Rocket was fighting against the PMC in that episode. XD

Still, that doesn't mean they couldn't have a similar storyline in some random filler episode.

Team Rocket should just catch a Pokemon which knows either Stun Spore or Sleeping Power, etc. Then they can go knock out Ash and Co. and steal their Pokemon while they're sleeping!

 

[Trainer Lisa]

Hmm....

They've tried that method too, with "A Way Off, Day Off".


They used the Sleep Powder from James' Victreebel and some ropes (?) with suction cups to steel everyone's Pokemon. But it didn't work too well, because they got carried away like they always do. The main problem was, they tried going after all the Pokemon there, including Snorlax. ^^;

I think it's a way to parody "big robot" anime as well as make TR look even more incompetent.
