Jessie's Wobbuffet: Difference between revisions

Wobbuffet occasionally battles, but since he cannot initiate attacks, he must wait to be attacked first. This comes in handy, since Team Rocket often finds itself on the receiving end of powerful Pokémon attacks. He serves as more of a comic effect character, emerging from his [[Poké Ball]] frequently and often at inappropriate times, effectively annoying Jessie. Since the episode ''[[EP149|Tunnel Vision]]'', Wobbuffet has his place in the Team Rocket motto, right after [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]]. His Japanese name is fitting for his role, as its name (''Sōnansu'') means "It is so," equivalent to Meowth's "That's right!" This also serves as a joke when he shouts his name after Team Rocket comes up with an idea or plan- it is as if he is agreeing with them. Another joke involving his Japanese name is his interactions with his [[Baby Pokémon|Baby]] form, {{p|Wynaut}}. Wynaut's name in Japanese, ''Sōnano,'' means "really?", so a Sonans-Sonano conversation can understandably go on for an extended period of time.

Although Jessie often seems annoyed with Wobbuffet, she truly cares for him. This is showcased in a handful of episodes, including ''[[AG113|Who What When Where Wynaut]]'', in which Wobbuffet temporarily went missing. Jessie was very worried and desperately went searching for him on the island. Likewise, Wobbuffet seems to care for her deeply, although his loyalty has sometimes been in question.
