"Theory: Giovanni let's Jessie, James and Meowth stay in Team Rocket because they saved his life."

Alright so we've all wondered why Giovanni hasn't fired these lovable doofuses from this obviously morally corrupt evil organization. And although it would be devastating to see them fired, it really makes you wonder, why? One could theorize that economic reasons are tied to them, as they fund their own projects would work in the early days of gen's 1-3 , but when you get to gen 6 and 7, we realize that Giovanni has more faith in them and therefore he gives them a good amount of money to put towards evil doing.The econ argument doesn't work for gen 6 specifically, and gen 7 they did nothing important to the company, maybe getting a few extra dollars from malasada sales, but they did absolutely nothing of worth in the Alola region, and in Kalos they only delivered 2 pokemon. Which begs the question why didn't he fire them here? In gen-2 they were technically re-hired under the provision that they had to pay the company, all of their failures had to be payed back, and all of the worthless waste of times during the era had to be refunded (now whether or not they did is unclear).But in gen 6, and more importantly in gen 7, they didn't have to. In gen 6 Giovanni isn't mad at them with only delivering two pokemon, and in gen 7 we never see the repercussions of their awfulness, and are still in the same position as the past few (insert time unit here), but when bob cut glasses goon gal (Matori) messed up a mission to steal a couple of 10's of pokemon, she get's a hard talking that she is upset to hear. (not as bad as Bewear's "talking" but still quite bad)So then it becomes a matter of why? Why did they get away with being so terrible in Alola, why don't they have to pay Giovanni back like in Johto, I doubt Malasada sales can equate to paying for giant robots. Well it all begins in generation 4.See we don't really need to talk about gen 4, because in this generation Giovanni is neither pleased nor angry at them, Giovanni has forgotten about them, which is out-right said in "The Thief That Keeps on Thieving." However at the very end of gen 4, something... happened. After their involvement with the down fall and destruction of Team Galactic, Giovanni sought them for a special mission in Unova.Unova is also not discussed here as this is obviously the height of their career, and Giovanni had every reason to keep these three in the organization, however something during the Meloetta fiasco, changes something. Where Giovanni is cursed and possesed with evil, as he almost dies (almost like Cyrus) Team Rocket saves his A** and the leader lives. Now that right there may be the reason he's so lenient with these idiots.Giovanni has some sort of moral compass, he knows why these three joined Team Rocket, he knows their story. I mean they saved his Frikin life, that has to be worth something, and the only way he can repay them, even a tiny bit, is by giving them a job at the organization they love best. Even after the mishaps, even after only taking down Team Flare and gifting an Inkay and Gorgeist, after doing Literally nothing for a while, after pretty much wasting his time and Team Rocket's resources, he not only keeps them in the company, but also appreciates their work and expects great things from them, even when he has reason to believe otherwise. Which really shows how nice Giovanni can be, when he's not thinking about taking over the world. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/2EZsFUy
