Team Rocket isn’t just stealing Pokémon; they’re experimenting on them. Pokémon get physically hurt, exhausted, and even traumatized. One scene involving a certain ghost-type and a mother’s fear is legitimately unsettling. The manga never forgets that these are creatures with emotions, and villains who exploit that are treated as monsters.
Fans of the original games, anyone who wishes Team Rocket were actually threatening, and readers who like battle manga with heart. pokemon adventures 2
