AWESOME!

Is this why they pretty much always failed in their missions? o.O

They never failed in the mission of being awesome. :<

Faving and saving forever, because that's so... *accurate*! Who cares if they're retards who pull the same crap every single episode and never learn a thing, they're faaaabulous Team Rocket ¦D

And fashionable too!

Your avatars look ridiculously similar.

Scary, no?

FUCK

I WASN'T PREPARED FOR TROUBLE

I'd hit it.

Damn straight.

I used to always wonder that if they are always hungry and broke, then how the hell do they buy 30 story robots and a new costume in every ep.

MONDO.

Somebody finally pointed it out!

I always figured it was obvious. :|

What. Yes. Epic win, man.

Oh, such nostalgia~!

Team Rocket... the only reason I even got addicted to the cartoon.

P.S. James really is gay. They hinted at it in an official stage show I went to once.

Aaaah but in the official manga he knocked Jessie up. ;) Trying to pin it on one or the other is an exercise is futility.

I did not know this! I wish I coulda gotten a hold of more of those comics. I also wish I could read more than a Japanese preschooler. But anyway, back to the point--there's a lot of gay guys with kids out there...

There's a lot of gay guys with kids out there...

O RLY?

He's my favorite gay guy of all time.

Yes. 'cause see, I can't edit what I posted, which was non-working pseudo-HTML.

you mean like this: HARD GAY!!!!

and that is going somewhere... I think. X3

He's definitely the son of Shotacat and Jack McFarland.

If they stopped screwing about and actually nicked the shit they were stealing they would have shit-loads of loot.
But then they wouldn't be stupidly funny.

James never did anything for me.
Jesse however ;O

omg you are SO on my Watch list!

This may be why the lose in every dingle episode, but still try to attack the same people over and over again.

Well, crossdressing for the sake of comedy is something used often in anime. It doesn't necessarily indicate sexual orientation.

Ribaldry ftw!

you'd be scared if you saw what Arcanine is doing to poor James in the furry fandom >3>

Seen it~

I wouldn't like to be taken that way xD it looks like it hurts a lot to have it in the ass by a non-anthro arcanine x3;;;

Oh come on.

They've got loads of IQ points on Ash and friends.

"You look exactly the same in that outfit as every time before, and even someone who has trouble following Dora the Explorer can tell who you are...but I'll fork over pikachu anyway."

That comment wins. You win 763 internets.

This is beautiful.

i like how the team rocket intro theme song slogan thing makes no sense with all that shit about the stars above and fighting against peace and love

it makes me laugh

The Japanese version isn't much better:

'If anyone asks us this or that,
The answer we'll give is society's sympathy.
For the sake of preventing world destruction,
For the sake of protecting world peace,
To penetrate the evils of love and truth,
The lovely and charming villains,
Musashi!
Kojiro!
Wagering the galaxy, we're the Rocket Gang couple.
A white hall...we're waiting for a white tomorrow!
That's right...!'

Well, at least they go after someone with an even lower IQ. I mean, really Ash...they still look like TR no matter what disguise they wear.

..though apparently they were successful enough before finding Ash that they had 'Wanted' posters...If I remember right..

Ash = bad luck.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Even when they try to help the PEACE and TRUTH in some episodes, they always seem to be flying off somewhere to another location One THOUSAND miles away...

and then the next day digging holes in front of Ash again... =(







but we still love them

Cartoon Network was showing the first few episodes of Pokemon a few days back. I was slightly surprised that Jessie and James went from competent villains to comic relief.

Oh yeah...No dought in my mind I was James ex...

I friggin <3 James.

these two are the only reason i watched that show

CHEERS!

I get the impression I'm not the only one that was rooting for Team Rocket instead of the "Trups".

Seriously if Ash is dumb enough to fall for their sorry disguises time and again he deserves to lose.

Oh god! Such awesome! XD

.......

HAHA, PREPARE FOR TROUBLE!

Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man!!

Also, the world isn't simply divided into straight or gay. I like a bi James. Taking it from Meowth while giving it to Jesse. See: TrueRocketShipping.

Hot. And it's my theory that James is totally gay beyond fucking words...but for the exception that he utterly enjoys, or perhaps can't help for his love of having her as a constant companion, being taken by Jessie. I mean seriously, how manly is she NOT, beauty aside?

It just seems right.

Trufax.

Old image is old! But still funny.

Also, I heard an idea once basically suggesting that James is dicksexual (because making up terms is win), and Jessie is an artist with a strap-on.

I figure the best answer is that he's bi, but then I didn't follow the show/books very well myself~

yes, were finally gonna catch pikachu with an elastic rubber band and a pin knife ^^

They're my favorite retards.

thay finaly got it.

I love this picture so much <3

So full of win and love.

LOL

MY GAWD THEY ARE FAB.
Rakii Rakii~~

They fucking made the show.

Srsly.

They really did. D:

Meowth is still one of my favorite Pokemon evar.

Lol, like someone said, Team Rocket is probably the only reason I liked the show, and gay or not, James is quite awesome.

So tell me, what do you call someone who travels the world and tries to bum shelter and food from different places in return for consistant amusement?

Either a circus animal trainer or a bum...which is what EVERYTHING in pokemon is. I mean, seriously? Parents send their kids out armed with nothing but a change of clothes and a dangerous critter that will barely follow their orders or turn against them, and hope they can make something of themselves by mastering how to train the littler buggers....


And bear in mind, there's not a very big job market ANYWHERE decent if all you can put on your application is: Skills relevant to the position: Training and mastering of pokemonz in battles!


D: NOT useful for engineering.

I thought they were cool and fun when they first made an appearance in season 1. They had a background history for Jessie and James and it was great seeing them get more involved in the storyline, it made them seem like they had a true purpose for being together and you felt sympathy for the "bad guys" because their upbringing had them long for love, friendship, and showing everyone that they could succeed. I felt that hopefully one day they would succeed and it'd be a really touching moment. But when the 2ed generation came out and they were still the same Jessie and James making very brief appearances for battles, their purpose seemed to only be a way to fit in a tiny battle into a battleless episode plot. Then, the third generation of PKMN came out and the PKMN company still treated TR the same way and decided not to change anything except for giving them new pokemon. I mean, they were STILL trying to get Pikachu when there is a ton of even better and more awesome pokemon out there, that's when Team Rocket stopped making sense to me. Pikachu wasn't even EVOLVED, so whats the big deal? Even though it should be like level 70, I doubt that would even phase Giovanni anymore, he probably has level 100s by now. At this point, after like 11 years, the Pokemon company needs to give TR a more valid excuse to be there. They did say in one movie that they just liked trailing after him and that they needed an excuse and catching Pikachu was it.

But still, for me, it makes it boring to watch them go through their same routine over and over again and KNOW they don't really want to catch Pikachu, they just want to hang out with Ash and battle him... because Ash leads them to various exciting places, and Ash is used to having them nearby, like having an annoying brother and sister follow you around. I think Ash knows it's them whenever they wear a disguise, if he didn't act shocked, they'd probably walk away in defeat and lose all self-confidence in their plans, and become a very sad TR. Besides, TR makes Ash look more professional anyway, always having a trained defeatable enemy on standby makes him look like a true hero to onlookers who praise his nobility and inflates that gigantic ego of his. In any case, I see the point to them still being around, but I don't see them really having the purpose they deserve. After 11 years, they should be completely developed characters, show a ton of backstory, and give them more of a "life" (besides triailing after Ash). I think they should get their own show, that way they can get away from the twerp and do their own thing..

...Whoa... i write too much. XD OMG

I was having the weirdest fucking dream last night, and somehow, James ended up in it. I haven't seen anything to do with that show in so many years, but there he was, with his flamboyant gayness and that "eeehehehe" laugh. o_o
Meowth's expression wins. And it looks like he's touching both of their asses. O:

This is awesome.

I personally think that Jessie and James whre th REAL heroes of pokemon. They made sure with their bad puns and their stupidity that the show where entertaining to watch, after a ew seasons, even tey couldnt save the show, but it was a brave attempt.
