Oh hey yeah I didn't have time to add them into the video befor they got released in Pokemon GO all of a sudden so my bad about that :) but yeah they are ofcourse also in Pokemon GO.
I can see that your right as you did mention there appearence from Pokemon GO as well their hot air ballon they usually use that's a different form of the type that's usually used by the other Team GO Rocket Member's from Pokemon Go.
Jessie and James are characters you relate or grow fond of as you get older. I hated them as a child; now as an adult, I actually like them and root for them.
Jessie and James carried pokemon through kanot and johto. Everytime you heard that "to protect the world..." A little piece of you went "Oh thank god this is about to become watchable."
11:17 Jessie and James didn't became friends and then joined Team Rocket. They met while they were training to become Team Rocket memebers, and because Jessie needed a partner to pass, her instructor made her work along James almost against her will.
The anime is a little contradictory but it seems they met at Pokémon Tech...flunked out together...then joined a bike gang...had an unexplained parting of ways and then eventually reunited at Team Rocket where they've stuck together with Meowth ever since
Jessie has such unique hair because her hair + body pose would make an "R" shape in one of the earlier introductory illustrations. James would also pose where his body would make an "R".
James later becomes a grass type gym leader and Jessie becomes a Pokémon nurse. Their child will later take the wobbuffet from Jessie as his starter Pokémon and go for his own Pokémon journey along with meowth🤣
Well yeah mcs are usually supposed to be relatable husk of nothingness. Usually the characters surrounding the mc are interesting. There are some acceptions though and that's just a different style of writing.
Jessie tried to become a nurse before she joined team rocket and James had a bottle cap collection before it got eaten by Ash’s Meltan in the sun and Moon anime. Can you do video on Cynthia next.
There are some fanservice episodes with them, so who knows. In one XY episode James clearly kabe-dons her Maybe in 40 years when Pokemon finally ends they'll finally get together lol
I was five when the show came on the air in America and always thought Jessie and James were dating. I don’t know why I thought it. Maybe it’s because I thought they had a similar closeness that my parents had. Either way, I always suspected they were a thing. Good to know I wasn’t alone in thinking that. 🤣
James is such a sweetheart! He loves his Pokémon so much! I would even argue that he is the single best Pokémon trainer in the show, in terms of how he treats them.
So many things I didn't know about these characters. That's what I love about this series - it gives the characters so much depth with the multimedia approach. Keep it up!
I remember watching the anime and knowing they love each other but rarely admit it. And then they get married and have baby in the Manga but the most we get in is them attempting to leave team rocket but always changing their mind. I kept saying just leave, and start your life together in a small town. I always wanted Jessica and James to be happy
I love team rocket ! It would be pretty cool if nintendo used team rocket or Jesse and James to unveil a secret new Pokémon (especially a legendary) kinda like how togepi got revealed or Meltan.
I stopped watching the anime once the gen 5 abomination came out but the only thing I miss from the anime nowadays are Team Rocket bc they're still actually interesting and funny characters. Everyone else is plain, childish and annoying every new region. Love the series too!
The gen 6 (X and Y) anime was actually really good, though. The battles looked great, the animation was improved, they actually portrayed Ash as an experienced trainer who knows what he's doing, etc. They dumbed him down in Sun and Moon, though.
The fact that manga James got down on one knee and popped the ring to manga Jessie and asked her to be his wife, and along the way started a family with Jessie, makes you feel proud for him. I also like anime James because he's a bro/homie to the main cast over the series from time to time and still being a fun antagonist to love and root for along with anime Jessie, although they did change up the formula in the Black&White part of the anime, where they had to do recon on Team Plasma and find Meloetta and the Mirror that changes the form of Tornadus, Thunderous, and Landorus to their previous forms with Giovanni was kinda spooky.
I hated them when I was younger but grew to respect the Hell out of two pebs who risk their lives every single day just to make sure their Bosses Kid or Twerp stays safe.
If the Pokemon anime continues with more seasons, I'd really like to see Jessie and James be in a relationship, because they have some chemistry together and it'd be nice to see them happy and married.
I remember that episode where everyone loved Meowth and the two had him playing the act. When he was using Payday (which he did not know) he used all of James' bottle cap collection. If he DID know Payday, he would be funding all of their flops. They always purchased the most gaudy devices in order to steal Pikachu. Ash is always the dunce and can never recognize them XD
I really enjoyed this! I would gladly watch a show based on team Rocket aimed at older audiences...they are all such interesting characters that a rich to explore but don't get it enough. I love their ending in the electric tale of Pikachu and would love them to have that endgame to. Btw one media you left out (but it is Japan only) is Team Rockets secret empire. It's a radio show where Jessie and James do skits and answer questions.
I’ve never really watched Pokemon (now i do) but my siblings have and whenever i did watch it with them I always laughed at team rocket and loved them they are my favourite anime duo
Ngl I always thought they were besties. I felt that closeness that they had but for me it was always more like a friendship, two people who work together and enjoy being around each other without needing to have something else. Not saying that I don't like them as a couple, but it actually surprised me.
Well, meowth was a wild Pokémon in a city, doing wild Pokémon things when he fell in love with a female meowth. The female meowth turns him down saying he isn’t “human enough”. Meowth then observed humans and taught himself how to walk and talk like humans. Having perfected his human speech and 2 legged walking, he finds the female meowth again, only to get turned down again. The female meowth explains that being “more human” meant getting caught by a trainer, not learning how to talk and walk like a human. Meowth, thoroughly heartbroken, leaves the city and gets recruited by Jessie and james
I was born in 1997 and I pokemon all my life to this day i ship them so hard as a kid i thought they were married. I mean look at them there adorable together.
13:00 let me just say Dustox being release was the first time the pojemon anime made me cry as a kid. Not even Bye Bye Butterfree made me cry as a kid that is saying something considering that I was a child.
I always disliked team rocket because they were the bad guys after pikachu but I always loved their relationship with each other and persistence and my heart melted when I learned Jessie's name on Japanese was Musashi which is a masculine name because my own name is more masculine than feminine in my culture.
Jessie and James were my fave part of Pokémon and I relayed to them so much. They were my idea of a perfect relationship(friendship/siblings) I never saw them as romantic counter parts and my bi panic was set in. Another really important note about Jessie and James is the adaptation of showing that no matter who or what you are you can wear and act how ever you want(prime example James when he wears the dresses skirts and fake boobs, with Jessie it’s her dressing much more masc often cross dressing men) Summary: One of the best pair of characters ever written in a show
James is rich, but had an AWFUL family life, Jessie had a good family life with her foster mother [Musashi left on an expedition to find Mew, is presumed dead since she never came back, but even before that, she left Jessie in an orphanage because she wanted to follow her career/loyalty to Madame Boss, who basically had Team Rocket be more of a petty criminal organisation than the behemoth it is under Giovanni, who is her son, and very much regretted that during her time in Guyana tracking Mew/before dying, she thought of Jessie and the mistakes she'd made as a parent, this is gone over in detail in the TR radio drama about Mewtwo], but lived in poverty/ate snow. I don't know how you'd gloss over that, when it was a pretty big plot point and also their main motivation for joining Team Rocket (James to escape his controlling parents and Jessie to escape poverty.)
For the longest time before I finally got to see them together on screen at the same time I actually thought Jessabelle was Jessica and she was just simply forcing James to spend time with her covertly so he'd like her. Until I actually saw an episode with Jessabelle I only heard about her and her uncanny resemblance to Jessica
Another thing that you missed(for the anime) is that after jessie and james met each other they join a bike gang for a tiny bit together in(i belive but not sure) johto
Btw does anyone know where you can read volume 3 and 4 of etop ive looked everywhere and i cant find anything for it I cant even find the japanese version so if anyone can find the unedited version of these PLEASE TELL ME
hey ruffled, not sure if you noticed but in your "secret and forgotten areas" playlist there's a random video by Daily Dose of Asmongold which I don't think is supposed to be there. Love the videos too!
Oh hey yeah I didn't have time to add them into the video befor they got released in Pokemon GO all of a sudden so my bad about that :) but yeah they are ofcourse also in Pokemon GO.
Jesse and James are so cute together 😍
Why would they release so many pokemon especially mimikyu
I can see that your right as you did mention there appearence from Pokemon GO as well their hot air ballon they usually use that's a different form of the type that's usually used by the other Team GO Rocket Member's from Pokemon Go.
Didn't I meant.
9:20 JESSAMES CONFIRMED!!!!
Jessie and James are characters you relate or grow fond of as you get older.
I hated them as a child; now as an adult, I actually like them and root for them.
I still feel bad for Jessie
Never really hated them as a kid, they were funny
As a kid i always found Jessie and James fun characters still do
Same here
As well as Squidward, for example
Jessie and James carried pokemon through kanot and johto. Everytime you heard that "to protect the world..." A little piece of you went "Oh thank god this is about to become watchable."
nah man, when they take off their disguises, that's when come out, the good times of cartoon network in the 2000's
Ikr, as soon as you hear "Prepare for trouble" or "Is that a twirpish voice I hear" you just know this episode is about to get good!
I couldn't agree with you more.
They sure protected the show
11:17
Jessie and James didn't became friends and then joined Team Rocket. They met while they were training to become Team Rocket memebers, and because Jessie needed a partner to pass, her instructor made her work along James almost against her will.
@AaronHour You have to appreciate that they at least attempted better and honest career goals before doing crime
not actually? they met at Poke tech
The anime is a little contradictory but it seems they met at Pokémon Tech...flunked out together...then joined a bike gang...had an unexplained parting of ways and then eventually reunited at Team Rocket where they've stuck together with Meowth ever since
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who does typos when typing out "members"
The chronicles aren’t cannon.
Jessie has such unique hair because her hair + body pose would make an "R" shape in one of the earlier introductory illustrations. James would also pose where his body would make an "R".
They do that again in the 2 latest seasons. I was happy to see the pose return.
James later becomes a grass type gym leader and Jessie becomes a Pokémon nurse. Their child will later take the wobbuffet from Jessie as his starter Pokémon and go for his own Pokémon journey along with meowth🤣
I would enjoy a series with that more than following Ash for the 800th time
This true?
Too all: this isn’t true but really wish to have a series like this.
Makes me wonder what the expected lifespan of a Wobbuffet or a Meowth is.
So help me if this is canon, I might as well throw my fanfiction in the trash.
tbh these two villain's story is more interesting than the mc lol
Well yeah mcs are usually supposed to be relatable husk of nothingness. Usually the characters surrounding the mc are interesting. There are some acceptions though and that's just a different style of writing.

It’s lavender! 😂

Yeah, I remember the bottle caps and her hair looks a lot like nurse Joy's but longer
Wait Meltan ate a bottle cap collection?! That's pure evil
Dude I always liked James when he mentioned his bottlecap collection. Meltan, whhhhhyyyy??! I know why, but whyyyy?!
I thought his parents got rid of them
Jessie and James were both in a bike gang when they were children also.

Not irony coincidence
Man, I hope we can see an anime adaptation of Jesse and Jame's happy ending!
There are some fanservice episodes with them, so who knows. In one XY episode James clearly kabe-dons her
Maybe in 40 years when Pokemon finally ends they'll finally get together lol

My mom used to think that they where siblings
Imagine having parents that behave like Jessie and James. What a beautiful sight! When I was a child I always thought they were best friends:)
they got married and jessie is pregnant now 🥰
Let’s be real, we were all Rocketshippers as kids.
@@butteredupballsI thought they were siblings or cousins at first as well 😅 until I heard their backstories
Jesse's mom apparently was killed by Mewtwo during his Emotional Rampage
by Mew, since he didnt stop the avalanche that caught her when she was looking for him to give him to Madame boss
I really liked it when Jessie and James are stress free and happy and stuff. All I really want them to do is start a new normal successful life
Ikr!!! I want more episodes of Jessie and James doing nice stuff
The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga was just all around the best interpretation. So many good character moments.
James is such a sweetheart! He loves his Pokémon so much!
I would even argue that he is the single best Pokémon trainer in the show, in terms of how he treats them.
I like James more than any protagonist of the show.
So many things I didn't know about these characters. That's what I love about this series - it gives the characters so much depth with the multimedia approach. Keep it up!
Oh my god it's silph
I love your channel
Please continue your true power tournaments
Remember, Jessie caught her Seviper by battling it herself.
Kojiro didn't run away with his growlithe. He left growlithe at home with his parents.

Kojiro is James' real name in the original Pokémon anime in Japan.
@@matbrock1619 nah dude, not his real name. His Japanese name. All of his names in the various dubs are "real" and "official". Jsjs
Mat Brock well we’re speaking English here, so his name is James.
Did you not read the title?
Brock: prepare for no eyed trouble
RuffledRowlit: and make it double
Aggron Train brock has 👀/eyes
There was an episode of pokemon chronicles that shows how jessie,james,& meowth all met each other
They are written too well. Every time they got launched in the air I felt bad. I want a spin-off about them honestly.
i want an entire show of just jesse and james

It’s obvious you guys have watched only 5 episodes

i got too bored of seeing ash lol
9:10 Good, the only acceptable ending for them. Even the 10 years old version of me would agree.
James is based, thats all.

Lets hope it happens in these Final episodes.

Also goh, cilan, iris and the others that I forgot
And they made 5 more accounts
It’s all of ash’s friends
Nah. It's Giovanni and the Rest of the Rockets.
Don't forget that before team rocket they were in a bicycle gang! That they later returned to briefly
Jesse and James? You mean the only important characters of Pokémon series?
Please watch the Pokémon Chronicles episode _"Training Daze!"_ - that *actually* shows how Jessie, James and Meowth all met through Team Rocket.
Ngl I always thought they were besties. I felt that closeness that they had but for me it was always more like a friendship, two people who work together and enjoy being around each other without needing to have something else.
Not saying that I don't like them as a couple, but it actually surprised me.
Team Rocket seems to be my style, I even got Team rocket from two quizzes based on the question "Which villainous Pokemon team are you in"
Blue hair? James' hair looks purple! He even said in the anime its lavender!
I love that Chimecho is now referred to as Chime Chime
Ah, one of the best parts of the Sinnoh anime

james is one of the best things about pokemon :)
I was born in 1997 and I pokemon all my life to this day i ship them so hard as a kid i thought they were married. I mean look at them there adorable together.
12;20 actually the first time a main character released a Pokemon was Ash and His Butterfree.
13:00 let me just say Dustox being release was the first time the pojemon anime made me cry as a kid. Not even Bye Bye Butterfree made me cry as a kid that is saying something considering that I was a child.
To be fair, Jessie did use Dustox more than Ash used Butterfree
What actually made me cry was that tyranitar that abused them to release their weezing and arbok
That was a sad episode :(
12:14 "Victreebel; and funny enough, this was the first time we got to see a main character release one of their pokemon."
**sad Butterfree noises**
He said _main_ character
I always disliked team rocket because they were the bad guys after pikachu but I always loved their relationship with each other and persistence and my heart melted when I learned Jessie's name on Japanese was Musashi which is a masculine name because my own name is more masculine than feminine in my culture.

Summary:
One of the best pair of characters ever written in a show
Actually same though
James and Jessie remind me of Trixie and Katya and I love it.
James is rich, but had an AWFUL family life, Jessie had a good family life with her foster mother [Musashi left on an expedition to find Mew, is presumed dead since she never came back, but even before that, she left Jessie in an orphanage because she wanted to follow her career/loyalty to Madame Boss, who basically had Team Rocket be more of a petty criminal organisation than the behemoth it is under Giovanni, who is her son, and very much regretted that during her time in Guyana tracking Mew/before dying, she thought of Jessie and the mistakes she'd made as a parent, this is gone over in detail in the TR radio drama about Mewtwo], but lived in poverty/ate snow.

YES!!! I love Jessie and James!!!...
So many years. Waiting for Jessie and James being an couple. So long.
And the best part of the manga that its cannon to.
James's japanese name is also shared by that blue cucco in Ocarina of Time
For the longest time before I finally got to see them together on screen at the same time I actually thought Jessabelle was Jessica and she was just simply forcing James to spend time with her covertly so he'd like her. Until I actually saw an episode with Jessabelle I only heard about her and her uncanny resemblance to Jessica

Damn Jessie pregnant!
Bruh you just gave me nostalgia with the Pokemon Yellow pixel art.
1:14 Are you telling me those two aged by 10 years, but Ash didn't?
Chimecho - "chime - echo" "ch-I-meh-ko" please and thank you, drove me nuts
This is just a good in series
James frequently mentions that his hair is lavender, not blue, while Jessie’s is more of a magenta or fuchsia.
Heyy another amazing video Ruffled!!, hehe
This is a great video I love that episode of the anime where it shows you them going through team rocket training
GameFreak: Lets only give Jessie and James Arbok and Weezing for Let's Go.
Lickitung: Am I a joke to you?
Victreebel: *[angry plant screeching]*
They technically have all their Pokemon at rocket hq as I doubt Giovanni wanted to keep the ones they caught in unnova
Another thing that you missed(for the anime) is that after jessie and james met each other they join a bike gang for a tiny bit together in(i belive but not sure) johto
Oh well I am as old as them now, time to set the dream of being the very best behind an start wearing black
I really hope that if they ever decide to end the Pokémon anime, Jess and James get married or something. That would make everything perfect.
Btw does anyone know where you can read volume 3 and 4 of etop ive looked everywhere and i cant find anything for it I cant even find the japanese version so if anyone can find the unedited version of these PLEASE TELL ME
Is there any lore about the trainer who wielded the Darkrai against Ash in the Sinnoh League or maybe a Cynthia lore video
hey ruffled, not sure if you noticed but in your "secret and forgotten areas" playlist there's a random video by Daily Dose of Asmongold which I don't think is supposed to be there. Love the videos too!
Yeah might just be videos ive liked ill fix that
😆
Moment didn’t a Pokémon website mentioned that jessie and James are 15
Wait what I thought they were 20
All we know is that they aren’t older than 18
I've heard 16 and all of those
Nice vid !! 😁
Another great job ruffled keep it up 😁😁😁
" Jessie and James the *duo* "
Meowth: am I a joke to you?
You should do a video of all of team rockets mottos and all the times someone in the anime mimic it like ash and friends.
I thought that jessies arbok evolved into seviper though cannolically it doesnt. I thought it did in the anime
I think the first temporary Pokémon they own was a hitmonlee they stole to fight ash’s primeape.
I would like to see Ash’s mom and Mr.Mime.
in 1:48 what if when she went there she met red got defeated and was so embarrassed she ran away
this was some verry informative & great vid for the Duo of Team Rocket
Kojiros' hair is PURPLE!
Don't forget he guards the temple gate.
@@inkrael I got that reference
Ik its a vid about jessie and James but, Kinda wish you included meowth too.
love these type of videos
Great video as always
Chimecho acttualy can be seen in the Anime series. And it’s funny to think how James pokemons like to wrap around his head.
They just came to Pokemon Go
I'd love a Video on Cyrus or Giovanni as i think they are the best villains in Pokemon
Musashi and kojiro
Loved this video :)
Also it's pronounced like "chime echo" haha
We need to hear the lore of Cassidy and Bob.

If they had just stayed doing business for Team Rocket, they'd be living in a mansion
