Prepare for trouble!
They're lame, usually without money, and quite persistent if nothing else: they are Jesse and James of Team Rocket. While other members of Team Rocket, such as Box... Birch... Butch and Casity are more professinal: you got to love their screw ups. From Meowth's "Boss Fantasies", to the times they actually got Pikachu only to lose it once more... get ready to [win the] fight.
-
The "Look's like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" phrase never gets old for me.
-
Man, that must suck. :)

LOL, I remember that episode, but nothing beats Pikachu's Thunderbolt. I can't believe they didn't die (or haven't died).

It's Pokemon, an anime for children... why would anything end up dying?
-
Well, obviously its an anime for children (and teenagers >_>). I'm just saying that if it was in real life.
...You have to get used to me saying some stupid comment once in a while.
-
ANIME IS REAL I TELL YA! (:P)
They sometimes end up getting stuck... hanging from a tree branch and then fall off from the height of the branch... but they are usually not that lucky.
-
When is Team Rocket ever lucky! Or any villain (or some) in general. :laugh: I'm actually surprised that Team Rocket never gets old for me, although it angers me when they get blasted off to early, like right at the beginning of the episode. I don't think that they are naturally evil, just misguided souls.

[Talking a little about luck:]
I've always wondered how they got out of some of the situations at the end of some of the Pokemon movies. But, not all are impoosible to get out of.
An example of a not-so-impossible situation is at the end of Mewtwo strikes back, with them being trapped on an unknown island. It is possible that they got on a helicopter/ship to get off, but by that time Giovanni already hates them and would likely want them to stay there.
[Were they trapped in the past/future in Pokemon 4 ever, or where they in the present?]
-
It has been a while since I've seen that movie. Another situation if I remember correctly was during the first season. I think the episode was Attack of the Prehistoric Pokemon. At the end, they were caved underground by huge rocks and were trapped with several Kabuto, Kabutops, Omanyte, Omastar, and a carnivorous Aerodactyl. My question is, why do they always get into these situations. I actually feel pity for them most of the time. :/
-
You would think that after all this time of failing, that Giovanni would stop giving them money to make contraptions which will only survive for ten minutes maximum. They aren't even part of Team Rocket, so you would think he would try to get rid of them. But, no matter what happens they are still up and about as long as they have food.
-
I'm pretty sure food is all they actually care about, rather than stealing Pikachu. What's odd is that they want that specific Pikachu when they can always catch something 10x better, like a
Bidoof Magikarp. I mean, Jessie has a Wobbuffet and a Yanmega, both pretty powerful Pokemon.
-
They don't seem as interested in Pkiachu anymore. While they would steal it given the chance, they have been following the "twerps" to get newer and better Pokemon among other things.
-
It's about time too! They seem be better at stalking rather than stealing.
-
Biff or Bob or Bill or Buffy or Butch?

-
I completely forgot about that guy. What was his name again? I'm pretty sure it was Buffy.
-
Not sure about you, but I've always found the Team Rocket's base soundtrack kind of creepy, due to some of the high-pitched notes.
-
I thought it suited them rather well. I like their old motto, though their new motto is alright.
-
I never doupted that it suited them, as I think it does. Their newest motto is crap, though everyone was likely getting tired of their old ones.
-
Yeah, it kinda was. I like how stupid Ash and the others are when they don't notice Team Rocket in disguise. It makes me want to slap them across their face! >.< And it creeped me out when James had "woman parts"...O_o
-
Some disguises (such as that one of Jessie as Nurse Joy) are actually good. However, how they fail to see Meowth in some of his disguises is beyond me. Though it is a kids' show, and it supposed to be for the humour value... they should still know by now.
-
I though they would recognize their voices (although sometimes they change it). I also though they were poor, but they seem to somehow have a wardorbe of clothes (unless they steal them). I also believe Wobbuffet became a popular Pokemon because of Team Rocket's Wobbuffet. If I remember correctly, Wobbuffet was one of the mascots of the Pokemon Shop when Nintendo use to have it online.
-
They finally figured them out! [Skip to 1:30]

-
They had a lucky guess. I don't think their motto or the giant letter R on their props gave it away. >_> And dear lord at 2:55....O_o I'm scarred for life...
-
Ah yes, the banned episode clip.
So, what about their tactics? I remember when they used to dig holes in the ground to "trap" the twerps.
-
That was the good ol' fashion days. Now they have the money to buy high-tech equipments with anti-electric proof interior or millions of hands, which always blows up and sends them blasting off again. I wish Nintendo would show the banned episodes, even the Electric Soldier Porygon episode. I think it's a shame that Nintendo doesn't show Porygon, Porygon2, or PorygonZ in the anime. :/ I think most of the episodes were banned because of weapons and "sexual references" like the aformentioned Beauty and the Beach episode.
-
I remember when they had a machine which was water, fire, and electric proof... but it had a clear weakness (an open spot to destroy a major joint), rendering it useless.
-
There is always a flaw to every great plan. I wonder how many times they've blasted off...

-
It is possible that they "blasted off" so many times that it's a negative number?

the old voices sound so weird after all these years of the new ones
-
I thought the changes of their voices was smoother than that of Ash's... but perhap I was wrong.

it's just after watching the D/P series for so long then watching the early episodes the voices sound strange by comparison
-
I definitley see he differences in Meowth's voice the most. I also like how in the D/P series, they added more boss fantasies. They are just completely random like abusing a Jigglypuff for its music or something like a Vespiquen for unlimited amounts of honey.
-
James has never seemed to be good with Pokemon. His partner Pokemon always seme to want to hug him, eat him, blow smoke in his face, and other such things.
-
But he did have an interesting ability with his feet.
-
I dunno, I guess his Pokemon love him a lot. I love how in the D/P episodes, when TR blasts off, Wobbuffet comes out of its Pokeball just to say "Wobba" and then disappear.
-

Which is what, excatly? Running away?

Evolution Kick
By Kicking the opponent, it forces them to evolve to the next stage.
In the anime
Used by James on Magikarp to become Gyrados in EP015 and Mankey to Become Primeape in EP025.
:D it's a fun ability.

Hell, I would use it on someone more useful like on a Gabite.
-
I'd use it on a Voltorb if it didn't explode!
-
I've always thought there should be a movie where Ash and copany have to go to Team Rocket Headquarters for whatever the reason.

Well, it was Gen I....

I can see that.

I would love that.....
*asks the sky*
why did the first generation of the anime skip key point's of the game's plot?
-
Who cares if it was Gen. I, James still might have it in him.

Very true indeed.
-
I'm glad how the D/P anime is following the story of its games. Heck, they made a movie solely on Platinum (Giratina and the Sky Warrior). I think that Team Rocket's targets are too worthless (Pikachu -_-). They need to strive for something more rewarding.
-
Well, that would require changing something that has been true since the beginning of the anime, and before Pikachu was severely nerf'd.
I too, am glad they are following the game's story better.
-
There should be an episode were Jessie, James, and Meowth are actually aware that they have been fired from Team Rocket.
-
yes, yes that would be nice as well.

I like when they see how incapable they actually are- by having another, more capable member beat them down.
The sad thing about Team Rocket is that they haven't really been cool since episode 2- I wonder if they'll ever be competing with more operatives who are more like Domino from Mewtwo Returns- without the the new agents becoming jokes after two episodes.
-
I would actually like the trio to compete against another group of Team Rocket who are just as uncool and unproductive as them. It would be like there being two Jessies‚ James‚ and Meoths... and therefore quadruple trouble for the heroes and Giovanni.

James and Jessie and Meowth and Wobuffet and Koffing and Arbok
