We've talked a lot about Team Rocket gradually losing their relevance over the course of the show, if not their sense of FABULOUS.  And now, we're starting to enter a period in Pokemon history where Team Rocket loses both their status as the main villains and as comic relief.  From a literary standpoint, that's kind of a problem.  But not to worry, Team Rocket doesn't need to be important to a plot to be FABULOUS!
