Meowth also has demonstrated aspirations of being a parent-like caretaker, like in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when he coddled {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}'s Egg before fighting for custody of it, only to finally lose it to {{an|Misty}}. To regain custody of Togepi, he even defeated [[Brock's Onix]] by throwing a bucket of water in its face and finishing it with a Fury Swipes attack to the head. | Meowth also has demonstrated aspirations of being a parent-like caretaker, like in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', when he coddled {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}}'s Egg before fighting for custody of it, only to finally lose it to {{an|Misty}}.

Much like [[Ash's Pikachu]], Meowth does not stay inside a [[Poké Ball]], but is technically a [[wild Pokémon]] unlike Pikachu. Strangely, though he first appeared in the second episode, in an era where {{Ash}} scanned nearly every Pokémon he came into contact with his [[Pokédex]], it took until ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' for Ash to do this to Meowth.

However, this was a mere accident: Meowth was dressed up like a {{p|Kirlia}}, and Ash had never seen one before. In ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', {{an|Dawn}}, unlike Ash, scanned him right away. She also made the same mistake as Ash when she scanned Meowth as a {{p|Shiftry}} in ''[[DP014|Leave it to Brocko!]]''. Also, in the episode ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', {{Tracey}} started examining Meowth (despite not having a Pokédex), but only because he was interested in the fact that he could talk. | ||
In Japanese, he often puts the word "''Nya''" into his sentences, the equivalent of a meow in Japanese. This was abandoned in the English dub shortly after the beginning of the series. Because Meowth can speak human language but is a Pokémon, he is useful as a Pokémon translator. Despite being a Pokémon though, he is in charge of building and repairing the machines used by his team. | In Japanese, he often puts the word "''Nya''" into his sentences, the equivalent of a meow in Japanese.
