This is why everyone should watch old-sk00l pokemon.

Where else, in the whole of fiction, can you find such ridiculously fabulous mafia thugs?

NOWHERE THAT'S WHERE. only pokemon could take cross-dressing villains to this level of fab.

in new!pokemon's defense, team rocket is just as fab but they're a lot stupider and look like they're both 13 years old. i think that kind of ruins the effect. oh and they have PURPLE HAIR for some reason that was never really explained. how much more generic-anime can you get than PURPLE HAIR?

Actually, Team Rocket doesn't even crossdress as much in newer episodes. But yea, it's not as fun if they're TOTAL idiots (that's Ash's job) and are not a grown man and a grown woman (and a cat) playing dress-up.

And the purple hair isn't even a nice shade of purple like you sometimes see in older anime. It's a "lol we're going to give our characters unrealistic hair colors but they're going to be muted" deal like is especially common in generic NEW anime. IF YOU GIVE SOMEONE RIDICULIOUS HAIR COLORS, GO ALL THE WAY. DON'T MAKE IT MUTED AND FUGLY.

FFF I KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMETHING. dude, ash crossdresses more than they do in the new episodes. you KNOW something is wrong when ASH is crossdressing more than JAMES.

also i find it interesting to note that i have a team rocket lunchbox from the 90's that i'm assuming is digitally colored and has them with the purple hair
