So we're 50 episodes into Best Wishes in Japan and 34 episodes into Black & White in the USA (As of September 30th), without a single appearence by Team Plasma, making it the villinous team that takes the longest to appear in their own region (Anime Wise).
Team Rocket appeared right away at EP002 and continues to have the longest appearences. In Hoenn, Team Magma appeared quite fast as well in AG002, while it's enemy, Team Aqua, was not that far behind, appearing in AG017.Team Galactic took some more time, but appeared in DP036.
Team Plasma has been hinted at numerous time throughout the Best Wishes and Black & White season, mostly by Giovanni. They were scheduled to appear in BW023 and BW024, but due to a massive earthquake in Japan, was cancelled days before it's airing. Another episode, BW037, was planned to be aired earlier, but also was cancelled. But over 10 episodes later, it finally got played. But sadly, BW023 and BW024 were not.
So the question is, will Team Plasma ever make an appearance in the anime or is it already too late?
