Boss fantasy: Difference between revisions

[[Image:Chibi Giovanni.jpg|right|frame|Meowth's view of Giovanni.]]

The '''boss fantasy''' (Japanese: '''ニャース妄想''' ''{{tt|Nyarth|Meowth}} delusion'') is a segment in the [[Pokémon anime]] where {{MTR}} thinks of practical uses for the [[Pokémon]] being focused on in the current episode. Through this, the [[Giovanni]] in Meowth's imagination rewards Team Rocket for their generosity, which gives Jessie and James the motivation to go through with their next plan. The segment debuted in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree!]]'', but became regular only after ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', appearing as often as the [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]] and blast off during the Hoenn saga.

It can be noted that the Giovanni in such fantasies always says he will reward "Meowth and his friends" for bringing (Pokémon so and so) instead of "Jessie, James and Meowth" or a variation of that. This can be attributed to the fact that Meowth is usually the one who dreams up these fantasies, and his ego causes him to imagine Giovanni rewarding him first, then his friends. Occasionally, Meowth will imagine Giovanni in {{wp|Chibi (Japanese term)|Chibi}} form while in others, Meowth will imagine Giovanni with a muscle-covered body (what this says about Meowth's feelings for the boss is unclear).
