Why did they posted a picture of Team Rocket? Does Pokémon actually have more villains?

Giovanni is the big bad in the early seasons iirc. No clue how the show progressed past that though but there was always a more serious organization looming (ie Team Aqua and Magma, Mewtwo in the movie are the only ones I can think of right now...)

Team rocket is basically the mafia, and then gen 3 has team aqua and magma, one of which wants to remove basically all water and the other wants to basically remove all land.

I think that's a pretty drastic shift.
