More than 25 years after its first appearance in Pokémon, Team Rocket disbands and breaks the hearts of fans.
Strong emotional moments have been linked for fans in recent weeks Pokemon. After Ash finally became the best coach (winner of the Alola league), the public had to face very sad news. The adventures of the hero and his best companion Pikachu will end in 2023. What worse could happen to anime fans before then? Another iconic departure before the end of Sacha’s epic? Sold.
Team Rocket, a heartbreaking split
When you love Pokemonthe tissue budget will probably be very high this year 2023. On March 10, TV Tōkyō, a Japanese television network, aired the penultimate episode of the 25th season of Pokemon. An episode that puts an end to the history of Team Rocket. As always, the legendary trio of Jesse, James and Meowth are trying to get their hands on Pikachu. Another failure for Team Rocket, but this time one too many. After a heated argument, the three allies decide to part ways for good. Fans expected a happy ending, but it’s not. Team Rocket has endured a series of disappointments for more than 25 years, and their final moments are no happier. The pill is even more difficult for the public to swallow.
Last hope for Pokémon fans
The conclusion of Team Rocket’s story seems so hapless that some fans hope to see them again before the anime ends. The last two episodes should be just as rich in emotions.
Recall that the new series of the franchise Pokemon will appear this year. Without Ash, Pikachu and certainly without Team Rocket. A new anime that will therefore have the difficult task of making forget cult figures that have accompanied fans for over 25 years.
