      I'd like to see a movie about all three members of Team Rocket. That would be awesome. If they do a live action on who else thinks Tom Hiddleston would be perfect for the role of James? And if the can't get his voice actor for the anime I would kind of like to see Steve Blum voice Meowth. And I don't know her name but the one who plays the Zillena (hope I spelled it right.) on Once Upon a time would be great as Jessie.

    I've said this before and I'll say it again. Jessie, James and Meowth have more character development than any other cast member in the entire collective Pokémon anime. To the point, where I consider them to be the actual main characters, much like how Linkara would consider Bulk and Skull to be the main characters of the first six seasons of Power Rangers.

Hopefully James willbe able to find the courage to confront his rich family, stand up for himself, and become the man i know he is capable of becoming. And hopefully he can get his parents to accept Jessie as James's wife. He must have a lot of unseen turmoil under the surface. Poor guy!

    I think that the reason James is the gentle part of team Rocket are his grandparents. They and that he grew up in wealthiness, he knows how loneliness feels like, and how much his personal bonds mean to him. Unlike Jessie and Meowth, who both struggled alone at first, where no one ever stayed that long on their life to make a difference. They're not bad, but their life's depended on be selfish.

  • @HisShadow

    There's also a desire for James to be more honorable. In an episode where James is separated from his group and is stuck with Ash and Brock he says that ge always wants to challenge the group to a direct battle but Jesse and Meowth always over rule him. In another episode they are able to battle with donor Pokemon he really gets into and cares about his donor Pokemon and even beats Ash in the battle.
    I always saw him as a character trapped in his situation. Ge doesn't really care about riches since he grew uo rich he knows that doesn't mean anything. James is with Team Rocket because Jesse and Meowth are in it. He can't leave because that would mean leaving them

  • @omer7101
    @omer7101 3 года назад +432

    James is the least evil member of the trio. He really loves his friends but I'm not sure Jessie and Meowth love him same way. I don't believe any romantic relations between Jessie and him. Meowth is more friendly.
    I honestly think that he is the smartest in the group. Just he is a bit shy to take control of them. He doesn't want to be as bossy as Jessie also. He doesn't hate our boy Ash as the other members. He doesn't care to be succesful to catch Pikachu. Maybe Pikachu is not as important as a bottle crown for him. I sometimes don't understand his motivation. Why does he try again and again? Maybe for sharing a common goal for being part of a family?
    All in all, I think James is a good guy. Just his friends are a bit problematic. You need to change your friends James.
    If Team Rocket will seperate one day and everybody will go their own way I want to see James as a companion of Ash. He has to run away from his parents, right? He cannot cook or advise as Brock or Cilan but he can support as a navigator. Unfortunately the age gap between Ash and James makes this idea very difficult. Or in Chronicles, Team Rocket landed a small town and first time he found a pretty girl who was worrying for him. It can be a good end for his adventure.
    Poor James... Catching to a troublemaker, loser friend group while running away from weird relatives.

    James has always been one of my favorite characters. Of all the team rocket members he has such a kindness and loving nature that you sometimes forget he’s part of an evil corporation. One of the things I’ve always loved about James is how he “catches” his Pokémon. He takes care of a Pokémon in the episode, befriends it, or even just makes it smile, they come to love him and just want to spend every moment with him. I could be wrong but I think I even remember him crying to his Chimecho in the Advanced series because he was afraid of it getting hurt when they would “blast off“ Honestly he’s kinder than Ash in some ways especially to his Pokémon (at least in my opinion)

    I think the main theme behind Team Rocket is that true love and friendship is the only thing that matters in the end.
    Jessie always failed at everything and those failures are really crushing, but when she met James and Meowth she found 2 people who can relate with her. Now she knows that she isn't alone because she has 2 friends who will always be by her side whether she fails or not.
    James was born in a rich family but was forced to marry someone he doesn't truly love. He left because he would rather be poor with someone he loves than be rich with someone he doesn't love. When he met Jessie and Meowth, he had found that true love and that is the only thing that matters to him.
    Meowth did everything he could to be with a rich female Meowth that he had a crush on, but no matter what he did, that Meowth did not love him back. In the end, he ended up joining Team Rocket and found 2 people who love him unconditionally.
    In life, we tend to think that happiness comes from achieving our dreams, having lots of money, and marrying the most attractive partner we could find, but none of that really matters in the end. What matters is true love and friendship. What matters is having friends and family who will love us unconditionally. That is true happiness.

    James' parents did not care about his emotional well being. They made him preform many tasks that were basically pointless and he did not enjoy, and he was pressured to be perfect znd be the perfect little rich boy. And that wasnt him, he longed to be free. And things only got worse, his parents announced he was to be marry when he was only around the age of ten as soon as he became of age. And the girl he was to marry, Jessibelle, was a horrible selfish person who abused and chased him around trying to change him into a perfect obediant little husband for her. One day, James just snapped. He turned away from everthing he knew and ran away. His only friend, a Growlithe named Growlie, went with him, but eventually James must have convinced it to go back because it still lives with his parents. Im guessing the world got to dangerous and James wanted Growlie to live a better life.
    James is defenitly my favourite character in the entire anime, he is such a nice person who loves Pokémon, espessiqlly his own. He found good friends who he can rely on, and they make him happy. Team Rocket is what James turned to when he had no where else to go, and it wasnt because he wanted to destroy the world, he just wanted to fit in somewhere, even if it meant being a criminal. But hes not an evil person, quite the opposite. He smart, talented, kind, and easygoing, and a bit dopy and an all around fun character! He may not fit in with the world, and he doesnt even with team rocket as he continously fails, but he isnt failing on his own. Jessie and Meowth gave him a real family, and I think he is happy with his life so far.

I tried to develop hobbies and skills on some stuff and now I found people who actually find me interesting because of my interests.

    I can relate to James but in a different way. I have been working night times in a warehouse for 8 years now with the goal to make a lot of money, year after year I actually succeeded step by step as I was eventually able to save up to 1.5k every month. I mostly used the money to buy clothes or games and wasnt even spending a lot of it. About 2 or 3 years ago I started to feel depressed and I didnt know the reason why. I was working and working making more and more money that I wasnt even using, that I didnt even need because I already had everything I wanted. Luxury was never interesting for me probably because I didnt grow up with luxury as a child but it got me thinking, "Why am I still working when I dont enjoy my work anymore?" This is where I am at. I want to start a new life and I plan to quit my job and spend 1 or 2 years trying to figure out what it means to live life again, trying to find new things that I can enjoy to do. Im actually pretty excited about it and also happy that I realized it soon enough otherwise I would still work my ass off for nothing. But I have to give credit to my work as well since I made so much money I can now afford to do whatever I want to without worrying about bills.
