[Pokémon] Would Giovanni even care if Jessie and James gave him Pikachu?

r/

I’m pretty sure the only Pokémon they’ve ever actually caught for him is a Yanma, he didn’t care since Team Rocket had already caught a bunch of them, so he just sent it back. Given that Team Rocket is primarily based in Kanto, where there’s an abundance of Pikachu, and his affinity for Ground-Type Pokémon, have they just been wasting their time the last twenty years?

I know Pikachu’s strong, probably in the top percentage of Ratta—sorry, force of habit, Pikachu. But would it really make much of a difference?
