As we know, JJ&M' were recently chosen to be part of Team Rocket's "Project Den", which aims to build a base in the Isshu region. Do you believe this could be the promotion Giovanni offered them at the start of the Sinnoh Saga?

In case you don't remember, let me try to explain:

At the start of the Sinnoh Saga, iirc Giovanni offered to promote JJ&M if they gave him a Pokemon from the Sinnoh region. During the saga, Jessie caught a Yanma, which later evolved into Yanmega. My guess is that she showed the Yanmega to Giovanni off-screen at the end of the saga, and that would've scored them their promotion.

Discuss.
 
I think he's using them to drew out team plasma
 
I personally don't think so. Any grunt can capture a random Pokemon; it doesn't mean they're worthy of being in charge of establishing a base in a whole new region. IMO that promotion was just a minor one and the one they actually recieved was due to them "defeating" Team Galactic, which IIRC they managed to successfully take credit for.
 
I think they got promoted because they are now quite experienced members of TR and, in the eyes of Giovanni, they played a part in extinguishing Magma/Aqua and Galactic. Pretty impressive imo.
 
Yeah, they are starting to become bigwigs at Team Rocket (Finally) and I'm sure they will soon be higher class when they deal with the meddling Team Plasma.
 
I don't believe Team Rocket were even promoted to begin with. It's more like Giovanni saw that they might actually prove useful to his plans so he gave them a proper assignment. I think Team Rocket just let it go to their heads and they thought they were given a boost in rank or something. Anyway, I don't know what the project entails but it seems like Team Rocket will be focusing solely on this mission and nothing else. That sort of makes me sad.

Giovanni doesn't really care whether or not they succeed in their primary objective. If they do that's just one or two more Pokemon to add to the mountain of Pokemon he already has. If they fail they'd at least made enough noise to draw out Team Plasma. See, if there's anything they're actually good at it's getting the attention of other Teams.

I figure sooner or later the trio will realize that they're being used, maybe around the Plasma finale, but for now they'll be good little minions.
 
I thought they were just sent to the Isshu region to further their goals of taking over the world, and if not that then dealing with Team Plasma.

Giovanni seemed to got word of how Jessie, James, and Meowth played a role in taking down Team Galactic so he saw them best for the job.
 
Giovanni most likely plan to use them to rid the world of rival organizations, since Jessie did lie to him about Galactic.

She told him that they defeated Team Galactic. That lie is what gave them their promotion in the first place.

Well for all we know that's what they think. It's not necessarily a lie if they personally believe that.

Sure they didn't defeat them, at less not by themselves but they played a part in it.

THey did nothing, Cynthia and the Twerp trio did all the work.
 
Hmm.. I don't know. Though I still think it's weird he has all their pokemon. Will they be looked after or just neglected/sold for money? lol.

I think Giovanni is using Team Rocket. I mean, he has a big organisation going on, and he's only -just- moved them up to 'grunts'. They should be prepared for possibly rejection by Giovanni himself.

I think you're missing my point. They were their and in their mind set what they did would be seen by themselves as stopping Team Galactic.
 
I agree with whoever said Giovanni is using them to draw out Team Plasma, it seems they used to be the lowest of the low in rank, but they send him one pokemon and they get to run their operation in Isshu? Doubt it.

I miss old Team Rocket already.

Isn't that was grunts are? Minions who do those kind of tasks? Giovanni probably thinks the same of Cassidy & Butch, like sending them to Sinnoh.
