Team Rocket (Roketto Dan in
Japanese) is an evil organization in the fictional world of
Pokémon which exploits pokémon for profit. This team tries always to
capture the
main character's most prized pokémon, his
Pikachu, to use for capturing other stuff. Their many attempts always
end in failure. The organization is headed by a man named Giovanni.
Jessica, usually Jessie (named Musashi in the
Japanese series), is the leader of team rocket. Her Japanese name is a
spin off of
Musashi Miyamoto, a famous samurai. James (Kojiro in the Japanese
series), is the more dimwitted male half of the team. James is named after Kojiro Sasaki, a famous samurai whom Miyamoto killed. Meowth (Nyarth
in the Japanese series) a Pokemon of the
meowth variety; notable for being the only pokemon that can speak a
human language, with the exception of some legendary Pokemon.
If one puts the English names "Jessie" and "James", together, he sees
that they were named after
Jesse James, a famous American outlaw.
Team Rocket are the only characters in the TV show that "know" that
they are in a TV show, all the other characters are unaware of this.
Jessie and James enjoy an unfriendly rivalry with Cassidy and Butch,
named after
Butch Cassidy.
Jessie and James appear in
Pokemon Yellow as in-game bosses, although the game doesn't reveal
their names.
