    Team Rocket last edited by kaneundertaker2 on 03/18/19 02:13PM View full history

    Team Rocket is a large, villainous group that specialize in stealing Pokémon and trying to take over the world. Their leader is Giovanni, who, ironically, is also the 8th and final gym leader. In the anime, the main protagonist Ash and his friends often find trouble in the form of low-ranking Team Rocket goons Jesse, James and their talking Meowth. Though they are dedicated members to the Rocket cause, they are not portrayed truly evil, and are mainly there for laughs and humorous interruptions. Due to the trio's mechanical genius, they often build machines and attempt to steal Ash's Pikachu, but always end up failing and getting launched into the horizon. Despite this, they are quite persistent and follow Ash through each of his journeys, trying again and again, but failing each and every time.

    In the games, Team Rocket is the primary antagonist group in the first couple gens, and again in SoulSilver and HeartGold. The player must complete several storylines and battle through their ranks. However, there is no Jesse, James or talking Meowth in the games.

    Team Rocket Motto

    Every time the trio of Rockets announce their presence, they will preform their trademark motto. In all the different gens, there are different versions of the motto. However, they all rhyme, talk of evil doing, and usually involve James holding a rose in his mouth. Butch and Cassidy also have their versions, but they only appear sparsely in the anime.

    Generations 1-3 motto

    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 that's right

    Cassidy and Butch version

    To infect the world with devastation

    To blight the people in every nation

    To denounce the goodness of truth and love

    To extend our wrath from the stars above

    Cassidy and Butch

    We team rocket circling earth all day and night

    Surrender to us now or you surly lost the fight

    Generation 4

    Listen is that a voice I hear?

    it's speaking to me loud and clear

    on the wind

    past the stars

    in your ear

    bringing chaos at a breakneck pace

    Dashing hope,putting fear in it's place

    A rose by any other name is just as sweet

    when everything's worse our work is complete

    Jessie!

    James

    and Meowth dats a name!

    putting do gooders in their place

    We're team rocket

    in your face!

    Wobbufett!

    The Wobbufett at the End has changed depending on the Pokemon that decides to join in on the motto.

    Cassidy and Butch version

    A shrieking wine a blast from the past

    Spinning like a gyro ball and molding fast

    To the moon and beyond what a blast

    Admidering justice at lightning speed

    Bashing the bad guy should we feel the need

    So here is the news flash across the wire

    The real team rocket is now on fire

    Cassidy and Butch

    Teaching the losers a thing or two

    The true Team Rocket

    Us not you

    Generation 14

    Bringing the white light into the future

    Thrusting the black hammer of justice into the black darkness of the universe

    Carving our names in the rock of eternity

    The fiery destroyer Jessie

    And With thunderous emotion I’m James

    Wisest of the wise I’m Meowth

    Now gather all under the name of Team Rocket
