Anyways, Team Magma would have been greatly improved if their battlecry was "LIEBENSRAUM!"

I think all three would be greatly improved if they used something more than

Posion/Fire/Water

respectively.

and why was team Magma after Groudon...isn't it a ground type?

Aqua and Magma has the dumbest plans ever.

Oh, we want to make it so there's more land!

Well, we want to make it so there's more water!

That barely qualifies as evil.

They were just a mafia that exploited Pokemon, a tad more realistic.

I don't see how they did anything, oh we have a masterball lets just mill around and do absolutely nothing with it, and the Casino wasn't that evil hell people loved it.

Team Rocket (in the games, not the anime) was actually a cool villain. A mafia who tried to make profit off of Silph's products. And the leader was secretly a member of the Pokemon League, assuring that Rockets could have their run of Kanto.

I just... I get Team Magma's motivations. Rather than war with Kanto and Johto, they're seeking living space for their overpopulated island by making more. It somewhat makes sense. Liebensraum is a pretty powerful motivation in the real world. If you don't factor in the "Everyone dies in the unexpected seismic shifts" aspect of Magma's plans.

Team Aqua on the other hand, wants to turn the entire world into an ocean. That's, A, impossible, and B, would definitely kill EVERYONE. There's nothing for them to gain from this plan at all.

My only problem with the game rockets is as stated before, most of them don't even have 6 pokemon, and 8 trainers with the same 4 or 5 pokemon is just incompetent, crist they run the casino with sythers and porygon's so they have people that can capture pokemon decently why not equip your grunts properly.

Magma...my only problem with this is the name, they want to greate more ground...their target pokemon is a ground type. I never understood the Fire stuff involved at all.

Aqua, they were founded by jessie and james, end of story.

Once I beat team rocket's leader I had no reason to play pokemon anymore...


Most compelling characters in the entire game, and they go down Like Mace Windu.... a punk...

Actually, Nidorino has a poor natural move pool, while Nidoking learns Megahorn, which is probably the best of the 120 damage moves. Nidoqueen learns Superpower, which is also good, but more just eh.

Meanwhile, both of those two can learn earthquake, an incredibly devastating move, while the un-stone-evolved versions can't.

One moves a pokemon does not make, and NPC's don't use TM's aside from Gymleaders, which only get thiers

Well... the point I was making is that they arn't crappy because they're stone evos.

True, most of the others don't learn any moves, but...

...don't the gym bosses also have moves that mean that they would have needed to learn before using the stones, anyways?

I remember that myself.

Didn't the anime actually make it over here first or was it that the game wasn't popular until after the anime?
