Jessie and James Pokemon Action Figures

Jessie and James Pokemon Action Figures
In my last most recent post, I have talked about the Ash and Misty Pokemon Action Figures. If you do not know who Ash and Misty are, it is best you visit my post to find out! In this next post on Pokemon Action Figures, I will be talking about another pair of famous characters who are now immortalised as Pokemon Action Figures. They are none other than the dynamic duo from Team Rocket, Jesse and James. Pity Meowth is not included as a pokemon action figure!

Jessie and James belong to Team Rocket and this is a Team Rocket 2 Pack Pokemon Action Figures. In Japanese, Jesse and James are known as Musashi & Kojiro (Jesse is Musashi and James is Kojiro, but I still prefer the names Jesse and James better). It seems that these pokemon action figures are imported from Asia and not sold in U.S. shops. I suppose the pokemon action figures are imported from Japan. It is also claimed that these action figures are at the "absolute lowest price on the planet for this impossible-to-find Pokemon 2-pack".

Jessie is a loudmouth who often abuses both James and Meowth and is the bigger brain of the group. She grew up in a poor foster family, and because her mother focused on missions from Team Rocket, this may be how she got involved in Team Rocket. On the other hand, James is whiny and submissive. He grew up in a rich household in Kanto, and he ran away from home after his parents tried to set him up in an arranged marriage. He exhibits more sensitivity and is more caring than Jessie, occasionally showing this through selfless acts. As for Meowth, it is a unique cat Pokémon with the ability to speak. In Japan there is this famous cat that supposedly is able to bring fortune. Meowth is also supposedly modeled after this Japanese fortune cat.

Team Rocket (also known as the Rocket Brigade) is an organization bent on world domination. This evil organisation is headed by Giovanni, and their overarching plan is to steal and exploit Pokémon for profit and power. Giovanni plays the same role in the Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen video games. It is claimed that he and Delia Ketchum (Ash's mother) were highly likely to be romantically involved as teenagers. This could mean that Giovanni may be Ash's biological father! This may be true since we do not see Ash's father in the animation series and Delia never told Ash about his father before.

In the Pokemon animation series, Team Rocket in the form of Jessie, James, and Meowth follow Ash Ketchum and his gang mainly to steal Ash's Pikachu (and various other Pokémon in almost every episode). Jessie and James are named after the infamous western outlaw, Jesse James. They constantly try to appease their boss Giovanni (who finds Jessie and James to be very incompetent) especially when they fail in their attempts to capture pokemon.

In many episodes, Jessie and James of Team Rocket successfully capture Ash's Pikachu, but they always end up being forced to release it back to Ash by the end of the episode. They use various disguises, traps, and schemes to trick Ash and his friends into a false sense of security. Ash and his Pokemon troupe are almost always fooled by these disguises , no matter how bizarre or obvious they are (I mean viewers can tell at one glance that it is Jessie or James in that disguise!). After being revealed as Team Rocket, Jessie, James (and Meowth) would then give their classic Team Rocket speech that rhymes and is catchy. This is known as the Team Rocket motto and in some episodes or movies the motto can change slightly but these are the standard lines:

Prepare for trouble!

Make it double!

To protect the world from devastation

To unite all peoples within our nation

To denounce the evils of truth and love

To extend our reach to the stars above

Jessie!

James!

Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!

Surrender now, or prepare to fight!

Meowth, dat's right!

(This is the part where Meowth chides in)

Anyways, Jessie and James always bungle up in their attempts, with the animation ending up with "Team Rocket is blasting off again" (usually after a thundershock attack by Pikachu). Needless to say Giovanni is frequently frustrated by the failures of Jessie, James and Meowth in their attempts at catching or stealing pokemon. However, you would be surprised that sometimes Jessie and James team up with or help Ash and his friends out when they are in common danger or a situation where working together benefits both parties.

Well after introducing Jessie and James as well as Team Rocket, hope that I piqued your interest to buy some Jesse and James Pokemon Action Figures! Do tune in next time for here at the Pokemon Action Figures blog where you can find your favourite Pokemon Action Figure!
