You ever realize all the millennial energy that Jessie, James, and Meowth give off? Case in point…
they’re 25 years old (Meowth is probably a young adult in pokémon years) who
are frequently broke and can barely afford basic living expenses
often waste money on stupid shit they don’t really need
but will always sacrifice funds for their friends
Jessie has many ambitions but lacks the money, skills, and resources to make them happen
James rejected the lifestyle and marital expectations of his parents in the pursuit of his own freedom
Meowth wasted his energy to learn a skill that didn’t lead to the life of happiness he expected
they work for a “company” led by a dismissive boss, fully expecting to be promoted for their hard work
frequently take on part-time jobs (which they’re very good at) to support their long-term career goals
James collects trinkets that are ultimately useless besides sentimental value
Jessie partakes in hobbies/competitions that are typically outside her age group for the fun of it
Meowth craves affection to the point that he projects fantasies onto his boss
Wobbuffet is a one trick pony, but does that trick very well
are often depicted as having horrible book smarts, but carry a lot of emotional intelligence
will jump at the prospect of free food
When we were kids, we all wanted to be like Ash Ketchum.
But we all grew up to be Team Rocket.
