The segment debuted in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree!]]'', but became regular only after ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', appearing as often as the {{motto}} and blast offs during the Hoenn saga. The segment appeared less often in {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Due to the {{FB|Team Rocket|trio}} shifting to a more serious tone, the boss fantasies did not appear in the {{series|Best Wishes}}, though afterwards they made a return in ''[[XY018|Awakening the Sleeping Giant!]]'' only, after an absence of 172 episodes. | The segment debuted in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree!]]'', but became regular only after ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', appearing as often as the {{motto}} and blast offs during the Hoenn saga.
