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.

Isn't James the only character besides Ash to have a Pokèmon in training? Why don't we include that? --CoreyLynch 14:53, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Important! (Regarding James' or James's)

After reading a headline in Newsday, it is confirmed that you DO NOT need the s after in apostrophe for something belonging to James, for example.

To quote the headline "YANKS' BATS QUIETED BY BLUE JAYS"

We need to change all articles pertaining to James back to James_____--Kuki Talk 19:06, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

That's because Yanks is the plural of Yank. If James were the plural of Jame, you'd be correct. But unless James is revealed to be some sort of alien composed of millions of tiny Jame beings (which would be totally awesome, by the way), it all stays as "James's."

Besides, newspapers are just as capable of screwing up as the rest of us. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 19:08, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

No, when it said Yanks' it was talking about more than one person. Plural nouns only get an apostrophe: the birds' nests (more than one bird with one nest each) and singular nouns get 's like: the bird's nests (one bird owning multiple nests). Learn the rules of grammar. ^Moldy _Orange 19:12, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Apologies for the edit conflicts, Moldy. Anyway, I've spent a lot of time researching this, as I have to use the posessive form of Samus in my fanfics a lot. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 19:14, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I realized, sorry bout that--Kuki Talk 19:16, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

's cool. --Martonimos_{((Argh|Blargh))} 19:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Sprite

Could any upload a sprite of Jessie and/or James ? ShinyPiKa 22:27, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Ask Taviource or Kenji-Girl--Kuki Talk 23:05, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Why would you want a sprite for them? Do you mean the ones from Yellow? --☆ケンジガール 01:19, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes ShinyPiKa 15:34, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Aww dangit.... I don't have them... neh. Sorry. R.A. Hunter B. 18:58, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Uh....

Can somebody please fix the James article page? The side menu is now at the bottom of the page, and the text for it has been shrunk. R.A. Hunter B. 03:49, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

the same with Jessie's----ultamatecharizard

Achievements

In the article it says that James hasn't achieved much, but in the Chronicles episode Training Daze he and Jessie were promoted and got their white uniforms. Jessie and James are higher up than a regular Team Rocket member. Should this be mentioned? Taromon777 23:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

They are not higher than others, in fact, Giovanni pushes them away into foreign places to get rid of them, if I remember correctly. The Dark Fiddler - Nos hablamos? 23:25, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Should we...

Should we add that James is often offended by his own pokemon? (Victreebel, and later Cacnea and Carnivine)--tobytse 13:22, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
