As for team rocket...
they still haven't won but they aren't near as wimpy. They don't hide with as many dumb costumes
and blast off. They are able to escape and play a much plus important role in the animé now.
Giovanni is trying to lure out team plasma using team rocket.
The story don't have as many dumb aléatoire stops and makes d/p look like trash.
Currently only four episodes are out but toi can watch them here. link
This is just my opinion so say as toi wish..
