I was feeling nostalgic when watching Pokemon on boomerang so i started wondering why I seemed to like the original so much. Then it hit me, it was Team Rocket, I think this is because they seemed like the only actual crime syndicate while the others seemed like extremest of various natures. Plasma = PETA, Magma/Aqua = Naturist, Galactic = UFO Nuts. Team Rocket actually did crimes whether it was stealing money Pokemon or just doing horrific experiments.
I only really watched the original series, so I guess you know what my answer is.
All these new pokemon just look so horribly generic and have completely stopped looking anything like animals.
Team Rocket is the greatest. Thats mostly do to the fact that they operate in all reigons. And they dont get destroyed by a group of kids. I mean Ash screwed up a few of their operations and beats their worst agents but the other organizations get wiped out every season, by Ash's lowest level guys.
Seriously, how can it not be team rocket!
None of that message rubbish of any of the later organisations, just bad guys for the sake of being bad guys!
I'm gonna just go classic and say Team Rocket. Really they are the only ones with a plan that makes sense.
Team Magma/Aqua wan to ruin the worlds ecosystems by changing the very balance of nature.
Team Galactic want to destroy reality and build in their image.
Team Plasma want to free Pokemon by using Pokemon in battles.
Team Rocket are straight up doing it for the money and possibly world domnation.
Giovanni was pretty intimidating in the anime as well. For the first series you never saw his face.
Also he created this demigod.
Mew-Freaking-Two
With some freaking epic armour.
I don't care if there are actual Gods in later generation, the first Pokemon Movie had Mewtwo as the most powerful Pokemon of all time and it was epic and more dramatic than any of the Gods films. Also he he keeps trying to kill or at least injure Ash.
While it was bit of fail of Giovanni to think he could control him, he made up for it.
In the anime special "Mewtwo Returns" he creates a very well planned and strategical attack that nearly recaptured Mewtwo and if Ash hadn't interfered then he would have succeeded.
Team Rocket only bad members were Jessie, James and Meowth. The rest were merciless criminals.
The new ones, its like star wars writers really. They keep trying to out crazy what the previous criminals did. Just like how star wars writers keep trying to out "force" the previous star wars film/book/game.
I would love to say Team Rocket but Jesse and James' invulnerability really got on my nerves. I ended many an episode with a facepalm or a sigh of despair "why don't they just phone the police?" or "why not just shoot, stab or burn them and hide them in the woods?".
Team Rocket, hands down. They were all about the moneyz, no bullshit reason needed for what they did. And giovanni was a boss, even though he was hella easy to defeat.
I totally agree that Team Rocket was the best evil organizaion.
Let's see:
Team Magma/Aqua wanted to make the land/sea bigger.
Team Galactic, I'm not even sure anymore what they wanted to do, something with remaking the dimension?
Team Plasma, kinda kidnapped pokemon but only because they wanted to save them.
Seriously, their evil plans are so retarded and don't make any sense at all. Who would want to do those things besides nutcases. For me, an evil organization has to be that, evil and not some idealistic crazy people.
Team Rocket on the other hand. What actual evil things did they do, let's see. They really stole pokemon because they wanted to use them to make money. They used strange radio signals to mindfuck with Pokemon so that they would go insane. They chopped the tails off of Slowpokes, again only for money. They even went as far as kill a Marowak mother and the best is, they have a friggin' casino.
Did I forget anything? Anyway, yeah for me they are a real criminal organization, unlike the others.
I'm definetly not the first to say this, but here's how it goes:
Rocket: Mafia
Magma/Aqua: Eco Terrorists
Galactic: Destroy Everything
Plasma: PETA
I liked Team Rocket the Best, Thought that Magma, Aqua, and Plasma were alright (But I barely even remember plasma's name, had to look it up), and Thought Galactic wasn't really memorable.
