The only child of millionaires, James was forced to endure formal society growing up. At a young age, he was forcefully engaged to a girl of whom he was terrified, [[Jessiebelle]], all because [[James' parents|his parents]] wanted to have a wealthy daughter-in-law. | The only child of millionaires, James was forced to endure formal society growing up. At a young age, he was forcefully engaged to a girl of whom he was terrified, [[Jessiebelle]], all because [[James' parents|his parents]] wanted to have a wealthy daughter-in-law. Soon after the engagement was announced, James, not able to stand Jessiebelle's commanding personality, ran away from home, leaving behind his beloved pet [[Growlie]]. He attempted to enroll in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s school, but, along with his new friend [[Jessie]], flunked out. Then, with Jessie, he joined the [[Sunny Town]] bicycle gang, where he was popular for being the only gang member to have to use training wheels (nicknamed "Trainer Jim"). Eventually James, Jessie, and the bike gang went their separate ways. | ||
Due to conflicts in canon between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] episodes and the special episode ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between James and Jessie after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}}. However, they quickly made up and the rest is history. | Due to conflicts in canon between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] episodes and the special episode ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between James and Jessie after the bike gang is unknown.

Perhaps due to his heavily enforced, sheltered upbringing, as well as the constant harassment that he had to endure from Jessiebelle, James has an odd, somewhat submissive personality. He, along with Meowth, are frequently subjected to the consequences of Jessie's wrath, and James in particular often does nothing about it. He will regularly comply to whatever ideas the other two come up with, and when he doesn't, usually ends up doing so anyway, like when he was forced to trade his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} away. He also seems to be the most emotional amongst the Team Rocket trio, and if the three should ever happen to get separated, seems very lost without his companions. | Perhaps due to his heavily enforced, sheltered upbringing, as well as the constant harassment that he had to endure from Jessiebelle, James has an odd, somewhat submissive personality.

James has a tendency to be swindled by a [[Magikarp Salesman]], who, despite James's increasing wariness and personal vendetta against the shady character has on many occasions tricked him into buying a Magikarp or other useless Pokémon and items for large sums of money. | James has a tendency to be swindled by a [[Magikarp Salesman]], who, despite James's increasing wariness and personal vendetta against the shady character has on many occasions tricked him into buying a Magikarp or other useless Pokémon and items for large sums of money. | ||
