[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Dragonstrike]

That's one of the reasons I have given up of the Pokemon anime. Why the hell a leader of a crime organization can be so stupid to give two highest position since the only thing they do is screwed things and be defeat by a eternal 10 years child and Pikachu instead of focus in capture OTHER pokemon. It anger almost as Ash eternal looser.

Just because they seem incompetent in the anime doesn't mean they're incompetent all the time, actually.  The season where that was stated, J&J were actually kinda sorta a threat iirc.  (And they even got to work with Giovanni personally, too)

Plus, they're the final pair of grunts you face in each TR section of Pokemon Yellow and the Let's Go games, too.  The grunts who act as the guards to Giovanni's quarters in their hideout would be pretty highly ranked, no?

J&J might do other jobs off screen that they aren't terrible at, as well.  On screen in the anime is when they'd mostly be for comic relief in that case.
