Same tbh.My first thought before reading the title properly was how they survive all those explosions/Bewear hugs over 20 years of constant pain.
Yeah pretty much this. Also for the reason that Ash and Giovanni will probably have some sort of clash at some point in the future.Less ambitious. They just wanna steal Pokemon, not recreate the universe
You're assuming the trio couldn't go solo and make sell Pokemon(if they could even steal them) to other criminals.In Universe: they're the best organization: well hidden, Giovanni is better head of mafia.
Out Universe: becuase of Trio. No TRIO = No Giovanni no TR.
All the other teams were disbanded or are no longer active (Galactic, Plasma and Flare) but somehow Team Rocket has been able to remain un disbanded.
I'm absolutely sure Giovanni doesn't even know who Ash is.Because Giovanni knows better than to mess with Ash, the boy mostly responsible for the downfall of all the other villainous teams. He's subconsciously glad that the TRio didn't bring him Pikachu because that would inevitably lead Ash straight to the Team Rocket HQ, and Ash won't be simply content with just getting Pikachu after he sees all of the Team Rocket organization here. There would be some big battle between Ash and Giovanni. Ash inevitably wins because he's the hero. And because he's also the incarnation of Red, Ash defeating Giovanni would mean that the boss would have disband Team Rocket and go into exile to better improve himself. And then the TRio will be out of the job.
Did Giovanni ask for Ash's name.I refer you to Best Wishes
