He’d much rather just have a night in with Mario Kart and a pizza, and we can’t say we blame him. Comments ) Disappointed that it's not a Meowth Balloon How'd they mess THAT up? But you know how this game is split into 3 factions? What if they added a 4th faction, that being Team Rocket? I would 100% hop onto Pokemon Go if it allowed me to become a member of Team Rocket. Same here, I already bought the hat. thats the problem. I don't think Team Rocket will be the 4th team just because almost everyone would switch. If almost everyone is on one team the game will be dead. Ditto. D Come on, guys. I hope Team Rocket events make for an alternative way to catch Armored Mewtwo. I just don't have the time or the team mates to go on Raids, much less temporary events Steal Pokémon for profit. Exploit Pokémon for profit. All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket. Disappointing is the best word to describe this. There's a surprising lack of Thunderbolt and blasting off with this PR stunt. I suppose safety is a thing.
If Team Rocket did become a new faction (with ability to transfer/defect), I'd be curious to see how many people drop their current loyalties to jump on the Team Rocket bandwagon "most likely acting as a nod to the Meowth-shaped balloon that Jessie and James use in the franchise's anime series" Whoever wrote this article clearly isn't very knowledgeable of the other details in the Pokémon game series, Team Rocket members have always used hot air balloons with a big "R" logo on them, is common knowledge and has nothing to do with referencing Jessie & James in the anime at all!
