Talk:James

He is based on a combination of the character of Leonardo Medici Bundle from the anime Sengoku Majin GoShogun and 弁天小僧菊之介 Sarasvati boy Kikunosuke from the kabuki 『白波五人男』 The Five Scoundrels of White Waves.

Please explain how this conclusion was reached. - 振霖_T 03:05, 14 October 2005 (CDT)

Here on the late Encyclopedia Pokemonica. --Argy 20:20, 15 October 2005 (CDT)

Hmm, it doesn't really offer any evidence there either. Of course, Sonansu's model is easy enough to recognise, but... - 振霖_T 00:45, 16 October 2005 (CDT)

Weezing, Victreebel, Cacnea, Chimecho, Mime Jr., Carnivine... half of his main Pokémon have been Plant-type. Is that enough to qualify him for the Plant-type trainer category? --Pie ^~♪♫ 22:47, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd imagine so. As the seasons progressed, he diverged to more Grass-types while Jessie took mainly Poison-types. If she's a Poison trainer, he should be a Grass trainer. --T T Echidna 00:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

- The reason I added Jesse as a Poison-type trainer is because she specifically said she prefered Poison-type Pokemon in the Koga episode. Has James ever said anything to that effect regarding Grass-types?

Natane seemed to think he is a Grass-type trainer. - 振霖_T 07:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Inclusion

Should we include Meowth?--Kuki Talk 16:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

No, since he isn't owned by the Team Rocket memebers and if you remember in one episode that it was Meowth's own choice to join. He wasnt captured by a member and forced to work for them.

When Was the Last Time...?

That one of James's Pokémon evolved?--Kuki Talk 21:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!, where the second Weepinbell evolved. Of course, Mime Jr. is overdue to evolve...

Believe it or not, the second Weepinbell evolving was only James's second on-screen evolution, after Weezing evolved from Koffing way back in Dig Those Diglett. --Shiningpikablu252 21:20, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Which means James hasn't evolved a Pokémon in 1 Series and 103 confirmed episodes!--Kuki Talk 21:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

No, it was his third. First Magikarp evolved, THEN Koffing, THEN Weepinbell. I'm Missingno. Master, and I approve this message. 01:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Magikarp doesn't count. It was kicked off the team about five seconds prior. :p - Cassius335 10:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC) James just kicked it out of anger. He never really released it. Heck, as far as I know, he might still have the gold Poké Ball, and it might still work on Gyarados. I'm Missingno. Master, and I approve this message. 10:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
