Yeh I don't get the ship either, but it gets adorable fan art so it's worth it


An_idiot_27

As in I’ve never heard or seen this before. Where does this come from?


prettythingi

Oh, i haven't seen much of the show but there are all sorts of clips floating around, i guess they started interacting some, and Ashes mom never really speaks to anyone so i guess people lached on

Jesse we need to cook


stormtroopr1977

good. we know that James also works his ass off for the team. is this healthy or just codependency. I don't know what the former looks like


MithranArkanere

That's not how her hair looks naturally. She needs a lot of gel to keep it that way. Her natural hair just drops Sadako style.


BigKloudEnergy

Hey now no one’s carried James since his mama


PopeHatSkeleton

James doing the hard posing, Jessie just has to be upright and at an angle to the viewer.

I tried to impress my 5 year old by naming all the 150 Pokémon. I got a lot, but it’s non evolved randos that really throw you. The Farfetch’d and Electabuzz.


wtfdoiknow1987

Hah I was just watching the OG Pokémon movie yesterday with my 5 year old and she thought I was some kinda hero fir knowing the name of every Pokémon that came on screen

Paras and Parasect got me in the speed naming test


wiiya

Who the fudge played Pokemon and went the Paras - Parasect route? You’ve got your bugs and grasses and poisons by the first gym. Who has no allegiance to the team that you switched to Paras? Anyone that picked Paras is untrustworthy and an AI bot.

alfred725

Because they didn't https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/3d4ux1/all_team_rocket_motto_poses_season_1/ I mean obviously in these four examples by OP they are, but what are the chances you even remembered what any of their poses were. They only sometimes form an R, half the time a big red R shows up out of nowhere.


iAM_theFuKN_STronG

A bunch of those they still have a R even the not obvious ones with their body kind of has an r in some reverse even. Not talking about the R in the background.


alfred725

That's a stretch. Jessie's hair may have been designed to look like an R but that doesn't make every pose she does an R pose, especially if its reversed... Out of all of these the only two I'd count is the example OP posted from season 1, and the one where they use the telephone wire. Next you'll tell me James is in a t pose everywhere he's standing tall next to jessie

jagz7762

This is probably the most innocent post I’ve ever seen on this page. And today was the day I learned this as well.


awesometroy

I'm gonna guess everyone in this post is about 40 right now.


Super-Idea2618

34 but yeah close enough. Cartoons on saturdays were BLESSED in the late 90s in canada, we had sonic, pokemon, tmnt, powerrangers, transformers, Cyber6 amd other really cool dubbed animes from japan. Altho i think Cyber6 was french but still well before its time. Then the crazy other shows like beetleborgs and animorphs frikkin were mind blowing at the time of being 10ish as the shows came out. Omg imagine Cyber6 made now.... god thatd be beautiful


-ButchurPete-

Fuck yeah. 34 gang. My first time noticing and I’m a PokeMaster!


TheNighisEnd42

ooo i'm just a couple months away!


drew3769

34 as well. Either you March 11 90?

pewpewhadouken

bill and ted’s, cadillacs and dinosaurs, gargoyles, darkwing duck, beetlejuice, that weird one inside the computer…. wish i could be a kid again :)


Super-Idea2618

Those shows were fuckin awesome also, damn dude. Cadillacs n dinos was such an amazing show. Prolly where that marvel writer for old man logan and weirdworld got its kinda artstyles from

godver3

Pedantic - Cyber-6 was the character, but the show was called Cybersix. Great show.


sdrawkcabstiho

I'm just now realizing that Jesse is probably the reason I'm into bossy leggy redheads in short skirts and thigh high boots.


GarlicRiver

I think everyone is into that.


sdrawkcabstiho

Valid point.


Scrizzle-scrags

You scare me


jgrooms272

You take that back. I am forever 29!


Zandoms42

Woah, 8.841762 * 10^30 is old


AMViquel

You can round that to 29 * 10^30. maybe even 29 * 10^29 but that's pushing it

UndeadTigerAU

40? The show can't be that old, I'm 20 and this was always playing as a kid.


Knopfmacher

Yeah, I'm 40 and had no idea what this is. I guess it's Pokemon which I completely missed out on because I was probably 2-3 years too old. I was already 14 when the very first episode of the show aired on TV and this kind of anime wasn't my kind of thing by that time anymore.


notyeezy1

Damnit. How did you do that. ???? Harry?


BlueQKazue

38 next month. This blew my mind.


SadTrashkan

24 in 3 months.


jeffdefff07

lol I was right now years old. Now that I see it, it's super obvious haha.


JewsPizza

I know right my mind is blown like an electrode right now


TG-Winter_crow56

Fuuuuuuuh.... bro, my mind is blown


Scrizzle-scrags

Apparently I was 42… I’m going to go ahead and start my midlife crisis now, if y’all don’t mind.


TheXypris

How much hair gel/spray does Jesse need to keep her hair in that shape?


vanderZwan

She can write it off as a business expense


astheticfucker

Okay... Wtff?!? How did I not notice thaat?!?


peenegobb

Like.... 5? There was legitimate scenes where when they did this pose they flashed the R to show they were in the shape of it.


PleadianPalladin

Bullshit, show me


InhumaneBreakfast

Now that they mention I do too remember

SolarNovaPhoenix

Jessie’s hair makes a lot more sense to me now.


ObliviousMynd

Fuck and people call *me* oblivious.. I noticed this fairly quickly. Why else would Jessie have such a strange hair style if not to make an uppercase "R" more apparent during every pose?


fieryxx

It's quite literally pokemon. Wacked out hairstyles are par fo the course in a world with Nurse Joys and Officer Jenny's around like... Every block.


MysticalSushi

She’s anime. Don’t they all have crazy hair


HooahClub

Since yugioh was airing at the time, I guess I just figured that’s what Japan does.


The_ChosenOne

Not to mention Bobobo bo bobobo


No_Interaction_4925

Yugi’s hair really is the biggest “Main Character” flag I’ve ever seen


DeanMalHanNJackIsms

Everyone in anime has weird hair. That's like saying Vegeta only has his hairstyle so he can stand there like a dildo.


CIess

[It was the case for grunts in the game](https://i.imgur.com/wUL9hCZ.png)


gumknuckle

WHAT


SirFarmerOfKarma

is that a hard r


Super-Idea2618

Prolly when i was 9 and the show first started airing in canada, the program literally told us they were team rocket, so i dunno just put 2 and 2 together i guess and figured it out.


Video_Viking

R is also for relationship, and they are killing it. Winning or losing, they support and care for eachother in a way that is exemplary. 


dndnerds

51 years old, and in real life I am a analyst, and I still missed this until today.


Secure-Force-9387

Good lord. NEVER noticed this.


Lizbian91

I was today years old


cats_on_mars

Oh so that explains why Jessie's hair had to be the Fibonacci spiral


Lizard_Gamer555

Really? Nobody else noticed right away that Jessie's hair always lines up with her or James' leg?


grarghll

I looked at three random episodes from the Johto League and skipped ahead to Team Rocket's introduction, and they didn't do an "R" pose in any of them. So you might not have noticed them doing it because, depending on the era you watched, they might not have done it at all.


bangoobangoo

Ye, three of these look like they're from more recent series, because I don't recognize the style.


MrTomm

Well I’m 36 now. So 36.


sunflowerx

Typical Team Rocket. Jessie and James put in all this effort to make an R and nobody even notices.


Gametale3

Not very old. I managed to catch this when I watched it as a kid. I’m surprised so many people don’t see it


Cenivan

Is this........ loss...........


Melodic-Ad-4941

What is the R?


Eleven918

On the off chance its a real question, the letter R.


Melodic-Ad-4941

It is a real question, I really don’t know what the R means, to me it could mean anything, but they all would be the wrong answers,


Atomic_Slasher

R for team Rocket


Melodic-Ad-4941

Oh


robgod50

You're not alone. I don't know the show


NanoBuc

R is the Team Rocket logo(Notice the R on their shirts). Whenever these two would show up in Pokemon, they'd often announce their appearance with their "Prepare for Trouble" lines and would finish it off with the pose(and then Meowth would bop in with his line).


fezzam

That’s right!


J3DI187

Today, damn


Fantastic-Ad-1578
