Rockets were actual crimminals, Giovani was a don and Meowth was sick. Magma and Aqua were just crazy arse hippies while Galatic wanted to be some new all controlling religion. They all still looked cool though. But one simple thing completely ends this discussion. Team Rocket made MEWTWO!!! Admitadly he did go mad but it was a better ideal then trying to force a all powerful lengedary pokemon to do your bidding, thats just silly. Why force it to when you can raise it to.
