:So? That doesn't mean it couldn't of escaped. Or they could of just edited it to look like Jessie threw the ball at Yanma when it was really the kid that did it. We all knew that May's Squirtle was going to evolve into a Wartortle, yet we didn't redirect May's Wartortle to the Pokémon until DP077 aired.

What do you mean, AN empty spot? Jessie and James aren't limited to three Pokémon each. Take Grating Spaces, for instance.

Yanma was Jessie's first capture since Wurmple. Also the episode where she captured Wurmple had a Yanma in it. Foreshadowing maybe...?

Not at all since Yanma did not have an evolution at that time.

--HoennMaster 22:18 (CST) May 22, 2008.

Well, actually, we don't know how far in advance they knew about the existance of Yanmega. For all we know, they could have the next five regions all planned out already! The Yanma could very well have been foreshadowing. I'm [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]], and I approve this [[User Talk:Missingno. Master|message.]] 15:40, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Why was this picture removed? It is way better then the current one.

[[{{redlink|a:Image:Yanmega.JPG}}|235px]]

--[[User:HoennMaster|]--HoennMaster]] 17:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
:We don't change the images based on personal preference. It has led to edit wars in the past. Besides, the original and current picture actually features Jessie. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 18:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I understand, but the article is about Yanmega, and the picture should feature a clearer image of Yanmega, the current picture seems to be focused more on Jessie.

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 18:10, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I have a picture of it but it wont let me upload it =S [[User:David aipom|Davidaipom]] 18:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

The article isn't about Yanmega; it's about JESSIE's Yanmega. That picture is low quality. And it's better to have a picture of the character and their Pokemon together. -[[User:Sketchies|Sketchies]] 18:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

This is about Jessie's Yanmega!? I didn't know...DUH, I figured it was obvious by just saying Yanmega but apparently not. Like I said, the picture should feature more of Yanmega then Jessie. I don't have a problem with Jessie being in there, but the picture should feature Yanmega more then Jessie.

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 02:45, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree with HoennMaster. In the picture with Jessie and Yanmega, Yanmega is all the way at the top and you can't see it real well. That picture is focusing more about Jessie than it is Yanmega. Do we have a picture on Ash's Gligar's page with it on top of Ash? No. We have a picture of Gligar only! Same with 100 other Trainer's Pokémon pages. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Then how about instead of a picture of Yanma getting captured. You get a good, high quality picture of Yanmega doing an attack? The picture with Jessie is staying. -[[User:Sketchies|Sketchies]] 03:45, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

That has nothing to do with it. Not to mentions there right, on many pages there is only a picture of the pokémon, so what is the big deal about this page.

why did you get rid of my extention to the article.

:Because it had hundreds of spelling errors and I didn't feel like fixing your mistakes. Write it nicely, with proper capital letters, before you put it back in.

== Pic ==

I don't like this one, it has poor quality. This one{{redlink|a:Image:Jessie Yanmega 2.jpg}} I think is better. Who agrees?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 19:24, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
:I like the one you've posted, I think it's definitely better quality, but perhaps it too much focused on Jessie? So, not sure. [[User:Gastlys mama|Gastlys mama]] 22:04, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:: I think this is the best pic for Jessie's Yanmega have seen, way better than the cluttered Heart one at the moment and Jessie doesn't seem to take up a substantial amount of room. It is also very good quality. Good Job! :) I hope it gets changed to yours. -- [[User:D558|D558]] 03:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

==The move==
Is it Icy wind in DP102? It does seem like an Ice move to me.-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 04:55, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

== Dustox similarities ==
When Jessie caught her Wurmple a begining trainer(May) caught a pokemon of the same species in the same episode which was her first catch. This happen with Yanma aswell. Taylor a beginning trainer caught his first pokemon a Yanma the same episode jessie caught hers. voit

== Wobbuffet ==

"Yanma was the fourth of five Generation II Pokémon to be in the party of a member of the main cast during the Diamond & Pearl series, preceded by Aipom, Sudowoodo, and Gligar and followed by Swinub (fifth of six if one counts Wobbuffet)."

Why would one not count Wobbuffet? [[User:Gastlys mama|Gastlys mama]] 19:17, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:Because it's been on the team since Johto. The others were all captured in later seasons. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 20:27, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:: Surely you'd either only count those in the current series, or count those from all series as long as they're still on the team. So surely it should be third of four, fifth of six including Wobbuffet and Aipom? [[User:Gastlys mama|Gastlys mama]] 22:06, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:::That makes sense. Change what you will; no one owns the page (as much as they'd like to think!). — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 22:07, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:::: Hang on, I just thought of why it may be like that... Was Aipom actually captured in Advance Generation? Or did it just follow? Because I suppose it doesn't really count as being owned if it wasn't captured at the time...[[User:Gastlys mama|Gastlys mama]] 22:17, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

:Perhaps we should just get rid of this whole "If you count" business altogether. We'd never dream of not counting Pikachu as in Ash's party just because it was caught in the original series! It doesn't really matter when they were caught if you're talking about them being in the party... [[User:Gastlys mama|Gastlys mama]] 22:33, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
::Very good point, Gastly's mama. Besides, Yanma is in the GenIV dex as of Pt. Whether the anime was intending to follow that is unknown, though... I reckon just remove the whole trivia point altogether. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 04:20, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

==Move Debut==
Five moves in the episode the pokemon debuted seems like a lot, should/could that be mentioned in the Trivia? If anyone wants to look into it and see if it is a record or a near record they can take the credit since I really don't wanna do the legwork... -- [[User:D558|D558]] 03:56, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:[[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] only appeared in one episode, but it still used 6 moves. Although that might not be the record, that is one I remembered from when I was updating to the template about a month back. If I remember right, Yanmega used 4 moves as a Yanma and then learnt AncientPower in a battle, causing it to evolve. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] 04:39, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
::It already knew AncientPower before the battle. When Giovanni scanned Yanma's Poké Ball with his computer, one of the attacks it said Yanma knew was AncientPower. [[User:Missingno.

== Question ==

Was yanmega jessie's first Pokemon that evolved from a pokemon that debuted in a previous generation.--[[User:TheYanmegalord|TheYanmegalord]] 21:51, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
:Yeah, but that's not notable for the article.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:54, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
O.K Thanks--[[User:TheYanmegalord|TheYanmegalord]] 21:57, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

== Number Of Episodes ==

Could anyone give how many episodes Yanmega appeared since EP080 compared to her Seviper, so we can decide who really is her main battler? I personally think the answer is Yanmega, but the article seems a little iffy. {{unsigned|Confusion}}
:It's a close one, alright. Seviper has 32 appearances, and Yanmega has 33. One off. ^-^ Also, don't forget to sign your comments using the four ~'s. ^_^ [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 19:40, 31 March 2012 (UTC)
:Thank you! I guess we should just say that their equally her main pokemon. [[User:Confusion|Confusion]] 19:53, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

== Personality? ==

I think we could add this for her personality. Yanmega is clearly a very affectionate Pokemon as she is constantly landing on Jessie's head to hug her, and in Where No Togepi Has Gone Before! Yanmega was blushing when Jessie found out it was a girl.it also never hesitates to follow Jessie's commands even when she asked it to fire attacks at her.--[[User:Pokemonboy3000|Pokemonboy3000]] ([[User talk:Pokemonboy3000|talk]]) 18:15, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

The article isn't about Yanmega; it's about JESSIE's Yanmega. That picture is low quality. And it's better to have a picture of the character and their Pokemon together. -[[User:Sketchies|Sketchies]] 18:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

This is about Jessie's Yanmega!? I didn't know...DUH, I figured it was obvious by just saying Yanmega but apparently not. Like I said, the picture should feature more of Yanmega then Jessie. I don't have a problem with Jessie being in there, but the picture should feature Yanmega more then Jessie.

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 02:45, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree with HoennMaster. In the picture with Jessie and Yanmega, Yanmega is all the way at the top and you can't see it real well. That picture is focusing more about Jessie than it is Yanmega. Do we have a picture on Ash's Gligar's page with it on top of Ash? No. We have a picture of Gligar only! Same with 100 other Trainer's Pokémon pages. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

That has nothing to do with it. Not to mentions there right, on many pages there is only a picture of the pokémon, so what is the big deal about this page.

== Number Of Episodes ==

== Personality? ==

Why doesn't she have a section for personality? Yanmega is clearly a very affectionate Pokemon as she is constantly landing on Jessie's head to hug her, and in Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!

==Moves Used!!!!!!==
What is that Moves Used in the trivia section? I know she used them, sort of, to capture Seviper but the section really needs to be expanded if kept at all. [[User:Solar Dragon|Solar Dragon]] 16:27, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah! what the heck! I know she did kinda used them, like in AG165 she used {{m|Headbutt}} against the director of the TV show... or something, but it look a lot like "a attack", anyways, she's a human so '''Moves Used''' mmmm I'm not sure... If we are to keep that forever then we should see what other characters have *used* moves before to write them all in their respective pages.[[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 16:14, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
::Well, [[Baron Alberto]] has Moves Used, though he transformed into a Lickilicky, so that's understandable. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU! [[User:Missingno.

==More trivia==
Well, there are a few extra things that would also fit in well into trivia, like the fact that she is the only human to catch a Pokemon without the aid of another Pokemon (She fought it herself)... Also, all of her main battle Pokemon have been snakes. (Arbok and Seviper currently)

Thoughts? Maybe you've noticed other trends or unique aspects of Jessie?

Not the first to catch a pokémon without another. Ash and krabby off the top of my head for one thing. [[User:TheAlmightyChris|TheAlmightyChris]] 09:32, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

== Jessie's "past" in hoenn ==

Was it even explain any further in the anime, japanese or dub?--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 05:37, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

== Episodes in which Jessie gets a ribbon - Category? ==

Considering she now has just as many as Dawn, shouldn't 'Episodes in which Jessie gets a ribbon' be made a category? Dawn has a category like that, and considering Jessie will more than likely continue into the next anime season it would make sense to create one in my opinion.

Didn't Jessie also disguise herself as Jessilina in M10, but just a different outfit? If so, can I add it to the article? --[[User:Spenfen|SpenFen]] 13:46, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
It was either Jessilina and Jessielinda, or it was both.[[User:Angel10698|Angel10698]] 17:43, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

== Secret Identaty ==

Am I the only one who thinks Jeeselina should have her own page, or at least a section on this one, sne is known to almost everyone in sinnoh as a skilled coordinator that made it to the semifinals of the grand festival and no one in the anime other than james, meowth and there pokemon no different. To them she is a completely new character- owner of many pokemon, unique coordiantor with strange and entitaining combinations and a riaval to Dawn, Kenny, Zoey and Ursala. I'd do it myself is I got the "OK" from an admin [[User:05308|Lanturn....05308]] 11:10, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
:Gosh! not again. The thing is, we already had a dispute over this same issue few months ago upon which Kenji decided that we'll use Jessilna for the episode contest articles. Creating an entire article on Jessilina won't be a good idea, however a ''separate'' Jessilina section in this article would be a good choice. I know that the info about Jessilina is already mentioned in this article but it's not separated with a boldly highlighted section named '''Jessilina'''. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 13:09, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

== Jessie and James on unfriendly terms? ==

It says "they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with Meowth but they quickly made up and became good friends" but they acted like they didn't know each other. They didn't seem to be mad at each other an anyway. so then why does it say that?[[User:Angel10698|Angel10698]] 00:14, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Jessie used the name Jessica in her first competition and she had an outfit and everything should that me mentioned in the list of her disguises?[[User:Angel10698|Angel10698]] 03:22, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

== Jessie being more important ==

I noticed that Jessie has been way more recognized than James in many types of media. Her having more Pokémon than James, Jessie having at least one Pokémon in Unova while James has none, most of the serebii links of Japanese titles of episodes being changed to English titles of episodes, etc. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 01:30, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

== The first sentence ==

I don't get the first sentence about Jessie, the one that says that she follows Ash and his friends around. In some episodes she and James appeared in, they arrived in an area before Ash and his friends even got there, such as what happened in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' when they landed on an island before Ash and his friends showed up, and in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' Giovanni tells Jessie and James to go to Unova as there are strong Pokémon for the trio to catch while Professor Oak takes Ash to Unova with him.

::The only thing I might see being changed are the ownerships of the two Shellder. I don't think we should have to consider them as a separate entity. [[Lorelei]], [[Solidad]], and [[Conway]] do not have Shellder in their Pokémon even though they own Slowbro/Slowking. Only if Westwood and Alice actually owned the Shellder should it belong in their parties. That's just my opinion.

=Name Origin=

About it's french name :
I'd just like to point out that it isn't from "mono" and "pale" (which just means pale btw, not blade), but "mono" and "vorpale" (like the Vorpal sword).
[[User:Monorpale|Monorpale]] ([[User talk:Monorpale|talk]]) 00:07, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

I had a few ideas about the name origin as well. The "or" in "monorpale" means gold, so the name could be roughly translated to single gold blade perhaps. In its japanese name as well, "ki" could allude to "kin" which also means gold. -- [[User talk:Danjam|Danjam]] 00:21, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

No, I just said the french word "pale" means the same as the english word "pale" (as the opposite of dark), and not "blade" as is written on the article. Such a choice of word wouldn't make sense considering the more obvious possibility of the second word being "(V)orpale". If the "or" stood for "gold", then "mon or pale" would litterally mean "my pale gold", and would make no sense either. I'm standing with the "Mono" + "Vorpale" option, I'm only pointing it here because I lack permission to edit the actual article. [[User:Monorpale|Monorpale]] ([[User talk:Monorpale|talk]]) 01:46, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

OK, this Koromori is green. Shiny Koromori are green. Is Jessie the proud owner of a shiny Koromori? Or is this Saturn's Toxicroak all over again?

Do not get me wrong, but that Pokemon and James's Yamask deserve to have their own pages?

I mean, Team Rocket no longer acts as the main characters and they are for recurring characters with great frequency as they were with Paul, Zoey and Professor Oak. Personally so far I have not seen any of them have also a high profile and the maximum that had been rare sightings in very short episodes.

:Just because they don't appear in every episode anymore does not mean they are no longer main characters. A main character is always a main character. If Tracey were to get a new Pokémon, it would surely get a page. Pokémon belonging to main characters, whether they regularly appear or not, always get pages.

Literal ghost is a conjectural name, but it's still a ghost never-the-less.

Anyone catch my drift? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 15:41, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

<blockquote>''As with both the Advanced Generation and Diamond & Pearl series before it, the Best Wishes series begins with only Ash Ketchum, headed off to a new region with his Pikachu.''</blockquote>
So far as I've seen, there is absolutely no confirmation that Ash will even be the ''main character'' in this series; Japanese fans are throwing around rumors that he's going to be taking Brock's role. So why is speculative crap like that being presented on this page as fact? We don't know anything about the series, and we shouldn't pretend that we do.

== Trivia ==

"The Best Wishes series is the only anime series since the original series to have no in-game playable characters present in Ash's group." How exactly is this true?

== About the series name again ==

I was looking at the seasons of the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}. I want you guys to see the titles of the seasons during the series. I'll list them here:

*[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Galactic Battles]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]

Notice how the titles changed after the initial season of DP. Instead of just being "Pokémon:", it became "Pokémon Diamond and Pearl:". So my question is, what happens if they do the same thing with Best Wishes?

It wasn't a real big deal because Diamond and Pearl was the name of the Japanese series. But what would happen if the season after [[Pokémon: Black & White!|Black & White!]] was named, for example, "Pokémon Black & White: Plasma Adventures"? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be called "Pokémon Best Wishes: Plasma Adventures".

If it does happen, do we keep the series at the current title of "Best Wishes" or move it to "Black & White"? I realize it isn't something we have to worry about now, but it is something we should take in to consideration. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:04, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

== Kanto Roots ==

Wouldn't it be easier to just say that Best Wishes is a lot like Kanto in the Original series and then list them going down? Like this:
*The Best Wishes series is a lot like Kanto in the Original Series:
**Unlike Johto, Hoenn or Sinnoh, Ash starts off in his room doing similar things from EP001 in BW001.
**Like Kanto (and Johto as well), Ash has caught all three of the starter Pokémon of the region he is in.
**The Best Wishes series is fast-paced, much like Kanto was.
**Like Kanto, Ash travels with two gym leaders native to the region he is in.
***However, in Kanto it was the 1st and 2nd Gym Leaders (Brock & Misty respectively) and now it is the 1st and 8th Gym Leaders (Iris & Cilan respectively).
**Ash caught more than five Pokémon in Best Wishes which he hasn't done since Kanto.
***However, Ash got to pick which Pokémon to put in Professor Juniper's Laboratory in Best Wishes when in Kanto, Krabby went straight to Professor Oak.
So, that is what I have. Of course if that is too much, I can trim it down a little bit.[[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] 13:17, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

== Is this trivia worthy? ==

<blockquote>''As with both the Advanced Generation and Diamond & Pearl series before it, the Best Wishes series begins with only Ash Ketchum, headed off to a new region with his Pikachu.''</blockquote>
So far as I've seen, there is absolutely no confirmation that Ash will even be the ''main character'' in this series; Japanese fans are throwing around rumors that he's going to be taking Brock's role.

== About the series name again ==

I was looking at the seasons of the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}. I want you guys to see the titles of the seasons during the series. I'll list them here:

*[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Galactic Battles]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]

Notice how the titles changed after the initial season of DP. Instead of just being "Pokémon:", it became "Pokémon Diamond and Pearl:". So my question is, what happens if they do the same thing with Best Wishes?

It wasn't a real big deal because Diamond and Pearl was the name of the Japanese series. But what would happen if the season after [[Pokémon: Black & White!|Black & White!]] was named, for example, "Pokémon Black & White: Plasma Adventures"? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be called "Pokémon Best Wishes: Plasma Adventures".

If it does happen, do we keep the series at the current title of "Best Wishes" or move it to "Black & White"? I realize it isn't something we have to worry about now, but it is something we should take in to consideration. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:04, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

== Kanto Roots ==

Wouldn't it be easier to just say that Best Wishes is a lot like Kanto in the Original series and then list them going down? Like this:
*The Best Wishes series is a lot like Kanto in the Original Series:
**Unlike Johto, Hoenn or Sinnoh, Ash starts off in his room doing similar things from EP001 in BW001.
**Like Kanto (and Johto as well), Ash has caught all three of the starter Pokémon of the region he is in.
**The Best Wishes series is fast-paced, much like Kanto was.
**Like Kanto, Ash travels with two gym leaders native to the region he is in.
***However, in Kanto it was the 1st and 2nd Gym Leaders (Brock & Misty respectively) and now it is the 1st and 8th Gym Leaders (Iris & Cilan respectively).
**Ash caught more than five Pokémon in Best Wishes which he hasn't done since Kanto.
***However, Ash got to pick which Pokémon to put in Professor Juniper's Laboratory in Best Wishes when in Kanto, Krabby went straight to Professor Oak.
So, that is what I have. Of course if that is too much, I can trim it down a little bit.[[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] 13:17, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

So far as I've seen, there is absolutely no confirmation that Ash will even be the ''main character'' in this series; Japanese fans are throwing around rumors that he's going to be taking Brock's role.

== About the series name again ==

I was looking at the seasons of the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}. I want you guys to see the titles of the seasons during the series. I'll list them here:

*[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Galactic Battles]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]

Notice how the titles changed after the initial season of DP. Instead of just being "Pokémon:", it became "Pokémon Diamond and Pearl:". So my question is, what happens if they do the same thing with Best Wishes?

It wasn't a real big deal because Diamond and Pearl was the name of the Japanese series. But what would happen if the season after [[Pokémon: Black & White!|Black & White!]] was named, for example, "Pokémon Black & White: Plasma Adventures"? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be called "Pokémon Best Wishes: Plasma Adventures".

If it does happen, do we keep the series at the current title of "Best Wishes" or move it to "Black & White"? I realize it isn't something we have to worry about now, but it is something we should take in to consideration. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:04, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Someone should put the English logo for Bets Wishes in the article somewhere since the Japanese Logo is in there.

== Kanto Roots ==

Wouldn't it be easier to just say that Best Wishes is a lot like Kanto in the Original series and then list them going down? Like this:
*The Best Wishes series is a lot like Kanto in the Original Series:
**Unlike Johto, Hoenn or Sinnoh, Ash starts off in his room doing similar things from EP001 in BW001.
**Like Kanto (and Johto as well), Ash has caught all three of the starter Pokémon of the region he is in.
**The Best Wishes series is fast-paced, much like Kanto was.
**Like Kanto, Ash travels with two gym leaders native to the region he is in.
***However, in Kanto it was the 1st and 2nd Gym Leaders (Brock & Misty respectively) and now it is the 1st and 8th Gym Leaders (Iris & Cilan respectively).
**Ash caught more than five Pokémon in Best Wishes which he hasn't done since Kanto.
***However, Ash got to pick which Pokémon to put in Professor Juniper's Laboratory in Best Wishes when in Kanto, Krabby went straight to Professor Oak.
So, that is what I have. Of course if that is too much, I can trim it down a little bit.[[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] 13:17, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

== Is this trivia worthy? ==

== I've a question ==

<blockquote>''As with both the Advanced Generation and Diamond & Pearl series before it, the Best Wishes series begins with only Ash Ketchum, headed off to a new region with his Pikachu.''</blockquote>
So far as I've seen, there is absolutely no confirmation that Ash will even be the ''main character'' in this series; Japanese fans are throwing around rumors that he's going to be taking Brock's role. So why is speculative crap like that being presented on this page as fact? We don't know anything about the series, and we shouldn't pretend that we do.

But if I'm wrong by all means, point me towards official confirmation of everything mentioned on this page. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 17:40, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

: It comes from the "leaked" sketch of "Iris" it had Ash in BW Guy Protagonist's clothing. While they may have changed their mind and such, since it looked like a rough/beta sketch. "Iris" does match the silhouette of the BW Anime Heroine, and both "Iris" and Ash were pretty much detailed pretty good, so there is a very likely chance (if that's not confirmation) that Ash will be in the B/W series.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 04:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

IDK how this works, but I have two minor suggestions, one being that some sites are reporting that this series will be faster paced, and Ash's Facial redesign, he no longer has Black small eyes, but big brown eyes, thats pretty significant after ten years- ''unsigned comment from {{u|PokeExtreme}} ([[User talk:PokeExtreme|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PokeExtreme|contribs]]) ''

== About the series name again ==

I was looking at the seasons of the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}. I want you guys to see the titles of the seasons during the series. I'll list them here:

*[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Galactic Battles]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]

Notice how the titles changed after the initial season of DP. Instead of just being "Pokémon:", it became "Pokémon Diamond and Pearl:". So my question is, what happens if they do the same thing with Best Wishes?

It wasn't a real big deal because Diamond and Pearl was the name of the Japanese series. But what would happen if the season after [[Pokémon: Black & White!|Black & White!]] was named, for example, "Pokémon Black & White: Plasma Adventures"? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be called "Pokémon Best Wishes: Plasma Adventures".

If it does happen, do we keep the series at the current title of "Best Wishes" or move it to "Black & White"? I realize it isn't something we have to worry about now, but it is something we should take in to consideration. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:04, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

== English Best Wishes Logo? ==

Someone should put the English logo for Bets Wishes in the article somewhere since the Japanese Logo is in there.

Here's the link to Cartoon Network's logo for Pokemon: Black & White! {{unsigned|Bellsprout}}

http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/d/d9/Black_and_White_anime_banner.png
:No. Black and White is the name of the 14th DUB season. The Japanese version does not use seasons, they use series, and series and seasons are not the same. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 20:05, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

== Kanto Roots ==

Wouldn't it be easier to just say that Best Wishes is a lot like Kanto in the Original series and then list them going down? Like this:
*The Best Wishes series is a lot like Kanto in the Original Series:
**Unlike Johto, Hoenn or Sinnoh, Ash starts off in his room doing similar things from EP001 in BW001.
**Like Kanto (and Johto as well), Ash has caught all three of the starter Pokémon of the region he is in.
**The Best Wishes series is fast-paced, much like Kanto was.
**Like Kanto, Ash travels with two gym leaders native to the region he is in.
***However, in Kanto it was the 1st and 2nd Gym Leaders (Brock & Misty respectively) and now it is the 1st and 8th Gym Leaders (Iris & Cilan respectively).
**Ash caught more than five Pokémon in Best Wishes which he hasn't done since Kanto.
***However, Ash got to pick which Pokémon to put in Professor Juniper's Laboratory in Best Wishes when in Kanto, Krabby went straight to Professor Oak.
So, that is what I have. Of course if that is too much, I can trim it down a little bit.[[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] 13:17, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

== Is this trivia worthy? ==

All main characters have a electric type Pokémon that will not evolve. either because it can't like [[Iris's Emolga]] and [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] or it doesn't want to like [[Ash's Pikachu]].--[[User:Pokemonboy3000|Pokemonboy3000]] 21:35, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Also 2 electric types are opposites emolga is part flying while stunfisk is part ground and the last one pikachu is pure so its in the middle.

Pokemonboy3000: /* Is this trivia worthy? */

== I've a question ==

<blockquote>''As with both the Advanced Generation and Diamond & Pearl series before it, the Best Wishes series begins with only Ash Ketchum, headed off to a new region with his Pikachu.''</blockquote>
So far as I've seen, there is absolutely no confirmation that Ash will even be the ''main character'' in this series; Japanese fans are throwing around rumors that he's going to be taking Brock's role. So why is speculative crap like that being presented on this page as fact? We don't know anything about the series, and we shouldn't pretend that we do.

But if I'm wrong by all means, point me towards official confirmation of everything mentioned on this page. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 17:40, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

: It comes from the "leaked" sketch of "Iris" it had Ash in BW Guy Protagonist's clothing. While they may have changed their mind and such, since it looked like a rough/beta sketch. "Iris" does match the silhouette of the BW Anime Heroine, and both "Iris" and Ash were pretty much detailed pretty good, so there is a very likely chance (if that's not confirmation) that Ash will be in the B/W series.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 04:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

== About the series name again ==

I was looking at the seasons of the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}. I want you guys to see the titles of the seasons during the series. I'll list them here:

*[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Galactic Battles]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]

Notice how the titles changed after the initial season of DP. Instead of just being "Pokémon:", it became "Pokémon Diamond and Pearl:". So my question is, what happens if they do the same thing with Best Wishes?

It wasn't a real big deal because Diamond and Pearl was the name of the Japanese series. But what would happen if the season after [[Pokémon: Black & White!|Black & White!]] was named, for example, "Pokémon Black & White: Plasma Adventures"? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be called "Pokémon Best Wishes: Plasma Adventures".

If it does happen, do we keep the series at the current title of "Best Wishes" or move it to "Black & White"? I realize it isn't something we have to worry about now, but it is something we should take in to consideration. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:04, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Someone should put the English logo for Bets Wishes in the article somewhere since the Japanese Logo is in there.

Here's the link to Cartoon Network's logo for Pokemon: Black & White! {{unsigned|Bellsprout}}

== Kanto Roots ==

Wouldn't it be easier to just say that Best Wishes is a lot like Kanto in the Original series and then list them going down? Like this:
*The Best Wishes series is a lot like Kanto in the Original Series:
**Unlike Johto, Hoenn or Sinnoh, Ash starts off in his room doing similar things from EP001 in BW001.
**Like Kanto (and Johto as well), Ash has caught all three of the starter Pokémon of the region he is in.
**The Best Wishes series is fast-paced, much like Kanto was.
**Like Kanto, Ash travels with two gym leaders native to the region he is in.
***However, in Kanto it was the 1st and 2nd Gym Leaders (Brock & Misty respectively) and now it is the 1st and 8th Gym Leaders (Iris & Cilan respectively).
**Ash caught more than five Pokémon in Best Wishes which he hasn't done since Kanto.
***However, Ash got to pick which Pokémon to put in Professor Juniper's Laboratory in Best Wishes when in Kanto, Krabby went straight to Professor Oak.
So, that is what I have. Of course if that is too much, I can trim it down a little bit.[[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] 13:17, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

== I've a question ==

<blockquote>''As with both the Advanced Generation and Diamond & Pearl series before it, the Best Wishes series begins with only Ash Ketchum, headed off to a new region with his Pikachu.''</blockquote>
So far as I've seen, there is absolutely no confirmation that Ash will even be the ''main character'' in this series; Japanese fans are throwing around rumors that he's going to be taking Brock's role. So why is speculative crap like that being presented on this page as fact? We don't know anything about the series, and we shouldn't pretend that we do.

But if I'm wrong by all means, point me towards official confirmation of everything mentioned on this page. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 17:40, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

: It comes from the "leaked" sketch of "Iris" it had Ash in BW Guy Protagonist's clothing. While they may have changed their mind and such, since it looked like a rough/beta sketch. "Iris" does match the silhouette of the BW Anime Heroine, and both "Iris" and Ash were pretty much detailed pretty good, so there is a very likely chance (if that's not confirmation) that Ash will be in the B/W series.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 04:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't a real big deal because Diamond and Pearl was the name of the Japanese series. But what would happen if the season after [[Pokémon: Black & White!|Black & White!]] was named, for example, "Pokémon Black & White: Plasma Adventures"? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be called "Pokémon Best Wishes: Plasma Adventures".

If it does happen, do we keep the series at the current title of "Best Wishes" or move it to "Black & White"?

== Kanto Roots ==

Wouldn't it be easier to just say that Best Wishes is a lot like Kanto in the Original series and then list them going down? Like this:
*The Best Wishes series is a lot like Kanto in the Original Series:
**Unlike Johto, Hoenn or Sinnoh, Ash starts off in his room doing similar things from EP001 in BW001.
**Like Kanto (and Johto as well), Ash has caught all three of the starter Pokémon of the region he is in.
**The Best Wishes series is fast-paced, much like Kanto was.
**Like Kanto, Ash travels with two gym leaders native to the region he is in.
***However, in Kanto it was the 1st and 2nd Gym Leaders (Brock & Misty respectively) and now it is the 1st and 8th Gym Leaders (Iris & Cilan respectively).
**Ash caught more than five Pokémon in Best Wishes which he hasn't done since Kanto.
***However, Ash got to pick which Pokémon to put in Professor Juniper's Laboratory in Best Wishes when in Kanto, Krabby went straight to Professor Oak.

== I've a question ==

<blockquote>''As with both the Advanced Generation and Diamond & Pearl series before it, the Best Wishes series begins with only Ash Ketchum, headed off to a new region with his Pikachu.''</blockquote>
So far as I've seen, there is absolutely no confirmation that Ash will even be the ''main character'' in this series; Japanese fans are throwing around rumors that he's going to be taking Brock's role. So why is speculative crap like that being presented on this page as fact? We don't know anything about the series, and we shouldn't pretend that we do.

But if I'm wrong by all means, point me towards official confirmation of everything mentioned on this page. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 17:40, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

: It comes from the "leaked" sketch of "Iris" it had Ash in BW Guy Protagonist's clothing. While they may have changed their mind and such, since it looked like a rough/beta sketch. "Iris" does match the silhouette of the BW Anime Heroine, and both "Iris" and Ash were pretty much detailed pretty good, so there is a very likely chance (if that's not confirmation) that Ash will be in the B/W series.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 04:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

== About the series name again ==

I was looking at the seasons of the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}. I want you guys to see the titles of the seasons during the series. I'll list them here:

*[[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Battle Dimension]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Galactic Battles]]
*[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]

Notice how the titles changed after the initial season of DP. Instead of just being "Pokémon:", it became "Pokémon Diamond and Pearl:". So my question is, what happens if they do the same thing with Best Wishes?

It wasn't a real big deal because Diamond and Pearl was the name of the Japanese series. But what would happen if the season after [[Pokémon: Black & White!|Black & White!]] was named, for example, "Pokémon Black & White: Plasma Adventures"? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be called "Pokémon Best Wishes: Plasma Adventures".

If it does happen, do we keep the series at the current title of "Best Wishes" or move it to "Black & White"? I realize it isn't something we have to worry about now, but it is something we should take in to consideration. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:04, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Pokemonboy3000: /* Moving it to Legendary musketeers */

==Other possible inspirations?==
Couple of observations that have been pointed out to me that may have also been part of the inspiration for the quartet. In France, where the Musketeer stories originate, there's a variation of Rock, Paper, Scissors which includes a fourth option: Well. It may be coincidence, but the primary types of the Musketeer quartet seem to reflect this. Rock, Steel/Scissors, Grass/Paper, and Water/Well.
Another, slightly more unlikely proposition I've heard is that the four are based upon the four horsemen, with their livestock basis being a nod towards Arceus'[the God or creator] design as an equine creature. Kobaruon would be Conquest; Terakion, War; Birijion, Famine [its pokedex entry specifying it trifles with opponents, implying a slow demise]; and Keldeo, Death.

Should these possible influences be considered and added to the article at some point? When it comes to design inspiration, most pages tend to take liberties, especially with the newer Pokémon. In any case, I felt the two observations were worth bringing up. [[User:Tindil|Tindil]] 19:10, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

The Rock-Scissors-Paper thing makes a lot of sense to me. Seems like a valid connection.--[[User:Podunk|Podunk]] 07:11, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

== Different name? ==

Okay, so, before, I know, the [[lake guardians]] were called by us the lake trio. And now with Gen V being new, this is the musketeer trio. One problem there, though.

'''''THERE ARE FOUR OF THEM.'''''

So I propose naming this page either musketeer ungulates (goes with the rest of the non-mascot trios, which don't use trio in their name), or legendary ungulates. And yes, I do intend for you guys to stop linking to them at every damned chance. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:05, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
:It's called the three musketeers hence why it's a trio remember, Keldeo(d'Artagnan) isn't considered one yet as he's a new member and Keldeo being based on him should have the same treatment [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 19:09, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
::This is still a dumb name. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 16:43, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

I get an odd feeling to rant about how Keldeo doesn't belong, but something tells me that would get me banned again. So rather than ranting, I'll just list what discludes Keldeo.

*Exhibit A) MASS distance; seven Pokédex slots between Terrakion (last in the lineup) and Keldeo.
*Exhibit B) Altered learnset; knows Aqua Jet rather than Quick Attack, learns Sacred Sword at 43 rather than 42, and is the only one to learn Sword of Mystery.
*Exhibit C) Obtain method; the others roam, and Keldeo is an event Pokémon

To think that I inverbally supported the dragons but am disaproving of musketeer junior here. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] - [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|Please don't hurt us...]] 01:48, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

: 1)You mean Virizion.

2) god forbid it learns something different

3) It's the youngest so it takes longer to learn. and Sword of Mystery is an event so it doesn't count

4) your point? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 01:53, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, that last part was me just thinking out loud... or something like that. And just because we're making an anology to a story/legend doesn't mean we need to link together every little bit of the story/legend to Pokémon. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] - [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|Please don't hurt us...]] 02:03, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Also, Keldeo is event-exclusive, so yes, Sword of Mystery does, in a way, count. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] - [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|Please don't hurt us...]] 02:07, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Hm... Musketeers doesn't make much sense unless you know the origin, and even then Keldeo doesn't really count, even though it's definitely a counterpart. On the other hand, ungulates is very vague and lame; what would we do if another trio were based on ungulates? We'd have another "Dragon Trio" on our hands. I would lean toward Legendary Musketeers: it's not perfect, but it's the best I can think of. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 14:33, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
:I'm totally with TTE on this one (I actually came to this page to request a move). Sure, it's not a member of the trio, but it is closely related. We could call it "legendary musketeers", "musketeer Pokémon", "musketeer ungulates" or "legendary ungulates". As TTE mentioned, only box legends get trio, and there can be considered to be four of these. Also, unless it was officially stated that they are inspired by the musketeers, this is a poor title choice. "Legendary ungulates" seems to be the best choice. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:43, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
::"Ungulates" isn't going to garner favor or use. "Trio" is also not exclusive to box mascot trios; that's simply how it's happened so far (the Raijin/Kami trio will break it if the Three Musketeers don't). How hard is it to call them the Musketeer Quartet? They're going to be called the "musketeers" for short by the rest of the fandom, no matter '''which''' name is used here, ultimately. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 02:59, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

== Remove Keldeo from the article ==

Just because it's another Fighting legendary doesn't mean the trio is a quartet. Besides, it's not confirmed. [[User:Bwburke94|Bwburke94]] 16:54, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:ahahahahaha no. Keldeo has a connection to the other three (and yes it happens in game) and it was adopted by them [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 16:58, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

== Trio Master ==
If, as we have noted, Keldeo is not truly part of the trio, and it is (semi) far apart from the others in the Pokedex, wouldn't Keldeo be qualified for Trio Master? This would also save us from the trio/musketeers/quartet dilemma. [[User:Mewtwo777|I am Darth Mewtwo... Fear me, and my team made entirely of Mewtwo!!!]] 18:37, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
:''A Pokémon that is a trio master is one who, in some way, oversees a legendary trio of Pokémon.'' Keldeo does this in no way, as he is the least experienced of the group. Just because he breaks the conventions of the other three, that doesn't make him the master. --[[User:Jda95|'''jda''']][[User talk:Jda95|'''95''']] 03:39, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Is someone approves of this move, say I. Since there are four members, its more likely. [[User:Duo2nd|Duo2nd]] 10:11, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

::I guess there's a difference between "Musketeer Trio" and "The Three Musketeer". They are not a trio, but they are "The Three Musketeer", get it? I mean, the name "Three Musketeer" is about the original three and a friend who came after. Making a gross comparison, it's the same difference between United States of America and America's states united. The latter would be a union of all states all over the continent, and the first is a country's name, although not all states of the America got together to build a country. [[User:Diby esp|Gabriel Rocha (Diby esp)]] 22:40, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
:Can we just call them the "the Musketeers"? No "Legendary", no "trio", no "quartet", no "Muskedeers". There is nothing else in the series that can be called a "musketeer", thus is should not need a "Legendary" to differentiate them from anything else. They're special and unique enough that Musketeer is a big enough blanket term to cover all four of them, or all three of them. Birds are birds (half the flying class), beasts are beasts (most of the ground group), golems are {{p|Golem}}s. Since there will never be a consensus on the numbers, eliminate them. Since there hasn't been anything else based on the Musketeers, no need to separate them with a "Legendary" prefix, because it's obvious they're referring to the legendaries without having to call them that; if this changes in the future, you can talk about it then. But I say make this easy: just call them the Musketeers. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 17:18, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

Pokemonboy3000: /* Moving it to Legendary musketeers */

==Other possible inspirations?==
Couple of observations that have been pointed out to me that may have also been part of the inspiration for the quartet. In France, where the Musketeer stories originate, there's a variation of Rock, Paper, Scissors which includes a fourth option: Well. It may be coincidence, but the primary types of the Musketeer quartet seem to reflect this. Rock, Steel/Scissors, Grass/Paper, and Water/Well.
Another, slightly more unlikely proposition I've heard is that the four are based upon the four horsemen, with their livestock basis being a nod towards Arceus'[the God or creator] design as an equine creature. Kobaruon would be Conquest; Terakion, War; Birijion, Famine [its pokedex entry specifying it trifles with opponents, implying a slow demise]; and Keldeo, Death.

'''James's Yamask''' (Japanese: '''コジロウのデスマス''' ''Kojirō's Desumasu'') is the first Pokémon that [[James]] caught in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:James and Yamask.png|thumb|left|200px|James and Yamask]]
Yamask appeared before [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] in a warehouse in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', where James proceeded to feed it. Once it was full, it happily went into James's [[Poké Ball]].

In [[BW026]], Yamask befriended a group of {{p|Litwick}} in a mansion that Team Rocket was using as a base. However, it was kidnapped by the Candle Pokémon in an apparent attempt to lure James, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} into a trap. Yamask teamed up with [[Jessie's Woobat]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], [[Ash's Pikachu]], and [[Cilan's Dwebble]] to defeat the Litwick and their {{p|Lampent}} leader.

Yamask battled Ash and [[Ash's Friends|his friends]] almost every time Team Rocket encountered them from then onwards. In [[BW027]], Yamask was used to battle {{an|Amy}}'s {{p|Druddigon}} and [[Iris's Axew]], and despite using a powerful {{m|Night Shade}} attack, it was defeated by Druddigon's {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Yamask was used again in [[BW034]], it was used to battle Ash and friends alongside Jessie's Woobat. They were defeated by [[Ash's Tepig]]'s {{m|Ember}}, Pikachu's {{m|Electro Ball}} and the {{AP|Roggenrola}}'s {{m|Flash Cannon}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
Like many of James's Pokémon before it, Yamask is very friendly and is shown to already have a great relationship with its Trainer. It is a very thankful Pokémon as shown when it willingly entered James's Poké Ball after it was given a little food. Also, unlike most of James's other Pokémon, such as his {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, Yamask doesn't show any kind of special affection to him when coming out of its Poké Ball.

As seen in [[BW037]], it can use its mask to deflect attacks similar to how {{AP|Oshawott}} uses his scalchop. It can also, like [[Jessie's Seviper]], use {{m|Haze}} to shroud Team Rocket in a dark cloud of smoke to allow for a quick getaway.

==Moves used==
{{anmov/h|ghost||James Yamask {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=Shadow Ball|2=Night Shade|3=Haze}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=Shadow Ball|2=Night Shade|3=Haze}}}}
{{anmov|ghost|Shadow Ball|BW026}}
{{anmov|ghost|Night Shade|BW027}}
{{anmov|ice|Haze|BW037}}
{{anmov/f|ghost}}

==Trivia==
*Yamask is the first {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to be officially owned by a main character.
*This is the first Pokémon James has added to his party since {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', 210 episodes before. Since Carnivine was actually obtained when James was still a child, this is his first capture in [[AG147|259 episodes]].

[[File:James and Yamask.png|thumb|left|200px|James and Yamask]]
Yamask appeared before [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] in a warehouse in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', where James proceeded to feed it. Once it was full, it happily went into James's [[Poké Ball]].

In [[BW026]], Yamask befriended a group of {{p|Litwick}} in a mansion that Team Rocket was using as a base. However, it was kidnapped by the Candle Pokémon in an apparent attempt to lure James, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} into a trap. Yamask teamed up with [[Jessie's Woobat]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], [[Ash's Pikachu]], and [[Cilan's Dwebble]] to defeat the Litwick and their {{p|Lampent}} leader.

Yamask battled Ash and [[Ash's Friends|his friends]] almost every time Team Rocket encountered them from then onwards. In [[BW027]], Yamask was used to battle {{an|Amy}}'s {{p|Druddigon}} and [[Iris's Axew]], and despite using a powerful {{m|Night Shade}} attack, it was defeated by Druddigon's {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Yamask was used again in [[BW034]], it was used to battle Ash and friends alongside Jessie's Woobat. They were defeated by [[Ash's Tepig]]'s {{m|Ember}}, Pikachu's {{m|Electro Ball}} and the {{AP|Roggenrola}}'s {{m|Flash Cannon}}.

==Personality and characteristics==
Like many of James's Pokémon before it, Yamask is very friendly and is shown to already have a great relationship with its Trainer. It is a very thankful Pokémon as shown when it willingly entered James's Poké Ball after it was given a little food. Also, unlike most of James's other Pokémon, such as his {{TP|James|Cacnea}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, Yamask doesn't show any kind of special affection to him when coming out of its Poké Ball.

As seen in [[BW037]], it can use its mask to deflect attacks similar to how {{AP|Oshawott}} uses his scalchop. It can also, like [[Jessie's Seviper]], use {{m|Haze}} to shroud Team Rocket in a dark cloud of smoke to allow for a quick getaway.

==Moves used==
{{anmov/h|ghost||James Yamask {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=Shadow Ball|2=Night Shade|3=Haze}}.png|Using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 4}}|0|1=Shadow Ball|2=Night Shade|3=Haze}}}}

{{anmov|ghost|Night Shade|BW027}}
{{anmov|ice|Haze|BW037}}

==Trivia==
*Yamask is the first {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to be officially owned by a main character.
*This is the first Pokémon James has added to his party since {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', 212 episodes before. Since Carnivine was actually obtained when James was still a child, this is his first capture in [[AG147|259 episodes]].

Yamask teams up with [[Jessie's Woobat]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], [[Ash's Pikachu]], and [[Cilan's Dwebble]] to defeat the Litwick and their {{p|Lampent}} leader.

In [[BW030]] Yamask was used to battle Amy's Druddigon and [[iris's Axew]. it was reveled to know a powerful night shade attack but was defeated by Druddigon's draco meteor

==Personality==
Like many of James's Pokémon before it, Yamask is very friendly and is shown to already have a great relationship with its Trainer. It is a very thankful Pokémon as shown when it willingly entered James's Poké Ball after it was given a little food.

==Trivia==
*This is the second Pokémon James has caught after providing it food, the first being {{tp|James|Cacnea}}.
*Yamask is the first {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to be officially owned by a main character.
*This is the first Pokémon James has added to his party since {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', 214 episodes ago. (Although officially, Carnivine was obtained when James was still a child.)
* The capture of Yamask ended the streak of James having no Pokémon in his party after 25 episodes.

'''Jessie's Woobat''' (Japanese: '''ムサシのコロモリ''' ''Musashi's Koromori'') is the first Pokémon that [[Jessie]] captured in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', while in a cave planning their next mission, a group of Woobat were flying through the cave Team Rocket was in. Jessie captured one off-screen, as was revealed when Jessie called it out to battle {{Ash}}'s newly captured {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}}. It was able to defeat the Tiny Pigeon Pokémon with a single {{m|Air Slash}}. It was then defeated by {{AP|Oshawott}}'s {{m|Water Gun}} after it had worn {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} out.

Woobat appeared again in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'', where it used {{m|Gust}} in order to create a cloud of sand to allow Team Rocket to escape.

In [[BW029]] Woobat was used along with [[James's Yamask]], Ash's Pikachu and Oshawott,and [[Cilan's Dwebble]] to battle the four Litwick and the thier leader Lampent

It was also used to battle Amy's Druddigon and [[Iris's Axew]] with James's Yamask in [[BW030]] it was defeated by Ash's Pikachu's electroball and Axew's dragon rage.

It will appear again in [[BW033]]

* Woobat shares some similarities with several Pokémon who belong to main characters.
** Woobat, along with [[Brock's Crobat]] during its time as a Zubat, are based on {{wp|bat}}s, were seen inside a cave in a group of their own species, were later captured sometime off-screen by a main character, were captured early in their respective story arcs, and have similar English names. Also, both of their evolutionary lines require happiness to evolve at least once.
** Woobat shares its voice actor with [[Jessie's Yanmega]], one of its predecessors.
** Woobat seems to be a replacement to [[Jessie's Seviper]], as Jessie uses it to create a gust-storm to shroud Team Rocket's escape, much like Seviper used {{m|Haze}}.

When did Jesse ever have a Magikarp? {{unsigned|Blackjack Gabbiani}}
: Briefly, when James bought one with their combined salaries. - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 12:56, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
::It should be when the Magikarp saler disguises the Magikarp to be Feebas. Jessie want to use Milotic in contest so he bought the Magikarp.-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 05:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Arbok, Lickitung, Wobbuffet, Seviper, Dustox... over half of all the main Pokémon she's used are Poison-type. Does she qualify for the Poison-type trainers category? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 23:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
:: Works for me. She counts more than some people (Like Flint, 2 Fire Pokemon out of 5). You could make a case for James being a Grass-Trainer, while you're at it. - [[User:Cassius335|Alan]]
you forgot Yanmega and koromori those two make less than half her pokemon poison type [[user Pokemonboy3000]]

==Croagunk?==
Now, I haven't seen the episode with Brock capturing Croagunk, but did Jessie ever own it? To my knowledge, it was just a wild one, and she never owned it. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 21:52, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
:I think she never formally captured it, but she battled with it, which made it as much hers as Haunter was Ash's. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
::Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 22:31, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

== It's been a while ==
It's been like a year since Jessie has gotten a new pokemon. Why is that?
:It's been a while since [[Ash]] has, too, and he's the main character. Maybe they're just waiting. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:13, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
::Bear in mind Ash only has two slots left and one of those might be the Riolu egg from Iron Island. No idea why they're waiting so long for Jessie, though. - [[User:Cassius335|Alan]]
:::Johto? They gotta spread them out over the entire arc or else it'll get boring. Between EP002 and EP052, it was just Ekans/Arbok, then it was Arbok and Lickitung until EP146, when she traded Lickitung for Wobbuffet. Then it was just Arbok and Wobbuffet all the way through EP273 and then six episodes into AG. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 07:31, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Um... If Jessalina is used as a redirect to Jessie, shouldn't the other one be redirects? As I recall, she used more than one names as a coordinator.

== Jessie's Appearance ==
In the pokemon anime series, jessie keeps her original style, but, her hair chaged from red to purple, i don't know why, have any of you noticed this?
:No, it's just a different shade or red and the lighting. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 11:47, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
::No, it's not only the lights, it actually '''has''' changed, it did sometime between the original series and the advance one. The reason? I don't know, don't remember it being mentioned ever in the anime. I liked it better red, it looks great, but in purple she looks great too, it makes her look more imponent, don't you think? --[[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 04:31, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
:::The real truth is that her hair along with Ash, Officer Jenney and maybe a few other's hair had changed color from EP261 and on. Why? The anime transitioned to digital colorization resulting in few cosmetic changes to characters which are hardly noticeable. Like Jessie's hair. Officer jenny's hair went from blue to green. Ash now has gray highlights in his hair, etc.--[[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes1992] 19:12, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

== [[EP029]] ==

The Hitmonlee that Jessie had in order to enter the [[P1 Grand Prix]], are we putting that in here? If so, would it b under "Borrowed" or "Temporary"?

:If we are, it would go under Temporary. They mugged the real [[Giant]] for the Hitmonlee, his outfit, and his identity to enter the P1 Grand Prix. That behaviour certainly wouldn't lend to "borrowed"...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:31, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

== Age ==

In episode IL episode 56, (55 in US) while signing up for the Pokēmon admissions exam, she says her age is 17. That would mean that if the age listed here is correct, 8 years would have passed since the first season. This means that either this page should be edited or else the age of almost every other main character should be edited (and making Ash 18). Please think about this. {{unsigned|Platinumcyndaquil}}
:I haven't watched it in a long time... got a YouTube link or something? And besides, this is Pokémon. There's inconsistencies everywhere, and Team Rocket are known to ''bend'' the truth sometimes... And that reference wasn't in the original, so we don't know how accurate it is.
:Anyway, it's not Pokēmon, it's Pokémon. There's a huge difference between macron'd e (sounds like ee) and accented e (sounds like ey). And we don't go by IL/OI/JJ/JLC/MQ/A/AC/AB/BF/DP/BD, we go by EP/AG/DP. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:33, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Also, if that age is supposedly real time, then it would also be wrong because she would be about 27 or so.

No from the episodes I saw there has only been 1 Smoochum that jessie has used, but I think it would be better put under borrowed since it was given to her by professor Rowan to use at the camp.

Well, there are a few extra things that would also fit in well into trivia, like the fact that she is the only human to catch a Pokemon without the aid of another Pokemon (She fought it herself)... Also, all of her main battle Pokemon have been snakes. (Arbok and Seviper currently)

Thoughts? Maybe you've noticed other trends or unique aspects of Jessie?

Not the first to catch a pokémon without another. Ash and krabby off the top of my head for one thing. [[User:TheAlmightyChris|TheAlmightyChris]] 09:32, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Considering she now has just as many as Dawn, shouldn't 'Episodes in which Jessie gets a ribbon' be made a category?

It was either Jessilina and Jessielinda, or it was both.[[User:Angel10698|Angel10698]] 17:43, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

== Secret Identaty ==

Am I the only one who thinks Jeeselina should have her own page, or at least a section on this one, sne is known to almost everyone in sinnoh as a skilled coordinator that made it to the semifinals of the grand festival and no one in the anime other than james, meowth and there pokemon no different. To them she is a completely new character- owner of many pokemon, unique coordiantor with strange and entitaining combinations and a riaval to Dawn, Kenny, Zoey and Ursala. I'd do it myself is I got the "OK" from an admin [[User:05308|Lanturn....05308]] 11:10, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
:Gosh! not again. The thing is, we already had a dispute over this same issue few months ago upon which Kenji decided that we'll use Jessilna for the episode contest articles. Creating an entire article on Jessilina won't be a good idea, however a ''separate'' Jessilina section in this article would be a good choice. I know that the info about Jessilina is already mentioned in this article but it's not separated with a boldly highlighted section named '''Jessilina'''. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 13:09, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

== Jessie and James on unfriendly terms? ==

It says "they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with Meowth but they quickly made up and became good friends" but they acted like they didn't know each other. They didn't seem to be mad at each other an anyway. so then why does it say that?[[User:Angel10698|Angel10698]] 00:14, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

'''Jessie''' (Japanese: '''ムサシ''' ''Musashi'') is a member of the [[Team Rocket]] trio with [[James]] and {{MTR}}, that follows {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:Jessie Anime.png|left|thumb|200px|Jessie in her [[Team Rocket uniform#White uniform|white uniform]] worn from ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to [[DP191]].]]
Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of three, Miyamoto left on a mission to the {{wp|Andes}} to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of more nourishing food.

When she was old enough, she left home to become a Pokémon nurse in [[Johto]]. However, the school she was enrolled in was literally for ''Pokémon'' nurses (i.e. {{p|Chansey}}), so she failed to graduate and left, leaving behind a [[Nurse Joy's Blissey|Chansey]] she had befriended there. In the episode ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Jessie was reunited with that same Chansey, which had since evolved into a {{p|Blissey}}. It is assumed that she then traveled back to [[Kanto]], where she enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s school, she met [[James]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in [[Sunny Town]], where Jessie was known for swinging a chain above her head as she rode her bike, acquiring the nickname "Chainer Jess". It was revealed in ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'' that she was a model at one point.
[[File:Jessie BW anime.png|thumb|Jessie in the {{series|Best Wishes}}|220px]]
Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between Jessie and James after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}} but they quickly made up and became good friends.
[[File:Jessie hair.png|thumb|Jessie after beating up her Seviper for biting off her hair|200px]]
[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first apperance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
Sometime before joining Team Rocket, and it is not known when, Jessie obtained a [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Also during the years before Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly. In ''[[EP234|Xatu the Future]]'', she revealed that she had once worked at a T.V. station as the weathergirl. In ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', it was revealed that she once was a ninja. In ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', it was revealed that she had a crush on a boy she had gone to school with named [[Astin]], who has a current-day counterpart [[Austin|with a similar name]].

She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket. Team Rocket member {{an|Wendy}} held a grudge against Jessie for failing to pay for a drink (making Wendy pay), but got her revenge when she added the charge to Jessie's overall Team Rocket bill.

Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like Pokémon, owning both an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké Showdown]]'', she expressed a preference for {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon in general.

It is revealed in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'' that Jessie is almost identical in appearance to James's fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], with the two of them having virtually identical faces and the only noticeable physical differences between them being eye color, hairstyle, and slightly different hair colors. Meowth in particular takes notice of this and frequently reminds Jessie of the fact throughout the episode, something she takes strong offense to due to Jessiebelle's reprehensible personality. Interestingly enough by the time the subject of Jessiebelle is breached again in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' she seems to have forgotten about her doppelganger and needs Meowth to remind her of who she is. The resemblance between the two was further explored in ''[[DP153|The Treasure is All Mine!]]'' when she disguised herself as Jessiebelle in order to grant herself, James, and Meowth, entrance into one of James's family mansions without James having to do so himself.

Jessie is also known to be very vain and is also prone to explosive anger. She values her appearance, and she can get furious when her face or hair is damaged, such as in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile!]]'', ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' or ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]''. When this happens, she may do things like beat up a Pokémon such as {{MTR}} or her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Furthermore, Jessie goes into a violent outrage whenever someone insults her beauty by calling her old, such as the episode ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' when {{an|Misty}} calls Jessie an "old hag" (Japanese: ''oba-san''). She spat fire in extreme anger after Misty called her that name in that episode. She is also angered (compared to her companions, who are usually depressed when they fail at something) when missions are either failed or botched, which is a regular thing. This anger was intensely demonstrated in the Indigo League, Orange Islands and part of the Johto League story arcs. However, her anger tantrums started to become less intense over the next two story arcs. It should be noted that her short temper, while it has always been a part of her character, tended to appear far more intense in the dub than in the original, which is a contrast of Lillis's vocal performance to Hayashibara's.
[[File:Jessie Jessebella.png|thumb|200px|left|As Jessebella]]
Starting in [[Hoenn]], Jessie became a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], entering every contest that she could. She frequently made it to the battle round, but usually lost there. However, in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', she finally succeeded in winning an (unofficial) contest by using [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]], which she had saved earlier in the episode. And, in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she won an official contest with her Dustox at [[Solaceon Town]]. Later in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist]]'', she won a ribbon with help of her Yanmega. She has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in the Hoenn, Kanto, and Sinnoh regions.
[[File:Jessadia.png|thumb|200px|As Jessadia]]
In the Kanto contests, Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] herself as ''Jessebella'' (Japanese: '''ムサぴょん''' ''Musa-pyon'') wearing a red dress and glasses. Eventually, Ash, Brock, Max and May found out her true identity in the last contest.

[[File:Jessalina.png|thumb|left|250px|Jessie disguised as Jessilina]]
During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Jessie dressed up as ''Jessadia'' (Japanese: '''プリティ・ムサリン''' ''Pretty Musalin'') and wore glasses, long white socks, a yellow and orange dress, and had her hair in pigtails. She worked there as an announcer and [[Lilian Meridian]]'s assistant; Lilian herself said she did not really like "Jessadia"'s style, but recognized her talent.

In Sinnoh {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, Jessie disguised herself as ''Jessilina'' (Japanese: '''キャンディ・ムサリーナ''' ''Candy Musalina''), using big glasses and an orange dress. She was notable for the fact that, in the appeals round of a contest, Jessie tended to use her Pokémon to show herself off, rather than showing them off. The orange dress she wore was ripped into pieces during her appeal for the Grand Festival in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]''. In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, she entered Super Contests under the name Jessiebella (referencing Jessiebelle again).
[[Image:Jessie in Grand Festival.png|thumb|250px|Jessilina in the Grand Festival]]
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' she once again used her Jessadia disguise to report on the [[Wallace Cup]].

Although Jessie entered mostly every contest in Hoenn and Kanto, she lost in all of them, whether it was the first match of the Battle Rounds or the finals. However, in the Sinnoh region, she won three ribbons herself using her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, and obtained a ribbon after James won a contest in her place, as well as receiving one from [[Princess Salvia]] after she lost to her. Jessie is now eligible to participate in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], and has made it to the semi-finals, losing to Dawn.

She's also used other aliases to disguise herself under, such as ''Jessilinda'' during her time at the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] and ''Jessilynlyn'' while competing in the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. Against [[Marilyn]] in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', she used the alias ''Jessirilyn''.

===Pokémon===
As with the standards set by the Team Rocket organization, Jessie initially started off with mainly {{type2|Poison}}s. However, as the anime continued onward, her team has diversified. However, she is still strongly associated with Poison-type serpentine Pokémon, such as Arbok and Seviper. Most of her other Pokémon tend to be unusual in appearance and don't usually fit the general image of "cute". However, she does display a desire to obtain Pokémon that are considered "adorable" when the opportunity presents itself, especially feminine Pokémon such as {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Smoochum}}. She was also attracted to a {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle!]]''.

Occasionally, she manages to take control of some powerful Pokémon, but due to either inexperience or hubris, this often backfires and loses control of them. She doesn't appear to train her Pokémon that often. Instead, they are often used to fight against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. When she enters {{pkmn|Contest}}s, she tends to involve herself in her Pokémon's appeals.

==In the games==
==={{game|Yellow}}===
Both Jessie and James appear in Pokémon Yellow as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the {{ga|Red|main character}} on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching [[Giovanni|their Boss]].

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture Pikachu.

===Pokémon Puzzle League===
Along with many other anime characters, both Jessie and James appeared in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]]. They are the main opponents in the "Spa Service" line clear challenge.

==In the manga==
[[File:Jessie Electric Tale.jpg|thumb|left|Jessie in the manga]]
Jessie appears in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} series along with her teammates [[James]] and {{MTR}}.

Her first appearance is in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. She, James and Meowth tag along with a group of lost Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}}, to try and find the [[Hidden Village]]. When they arrive, she and James attempt to steal the Pokémon living in the village, but they are quickly expelled by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. In this chapter, she uses a {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} in battle.
[[File:Rocketshipping.jpg|thumb|right|Jessie and [[James]] as a [[RocketShipping|married couple]] in the manga]]
Jessie's next appearance is in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. She and James attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. At this point in the manga, Jessie's {{p|Ekans}} has evolved into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, though its evolution is not depicted in the manga.

While in the anime, the nature of Jessie's relationship with James is not explicitly stated, in the epilogue of the manga, James is shown [[RocketShipping|confessing his love to Jessie]]. They are shown afterwards married with Jessie visibly pregnant.

Like many female characters in the manga, Jessie is depicted with an oversized bust, though this is edited down for [[VIZ Media]]'s English translation.

==In the TCG==
[[File:SugimoriJessie.png|right|thumb|Art from the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} TCG Jessie theme deck]]
Jessie and James appear on both versions of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}, which originally released in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set; it was re-released with different artwork in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}. In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed {{TCG|Theme Deck}} based on {{TCG|Jessie}}.

[http://www.example.com link title]==Trivia==
* According to James in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', Jessie is short for Jessica.
* Both Jessie and [[James]] have used a {{p|Charizard}} at separate times. They have used a third one together as well. However, none of the three remained in their care.
[[Image:Jessie's_Lure.jpg‎|Jessie's special lure|thumb]]
* In Sinnoh, she dressed up as a cowgirl and she was called Catherine Jessieburn. This is a direct reference to the legendary Hollywood actress {{wp|Katharine Hepburn}}.
* Jessie was the only member of the anime's main cast who traveled through Sinnoh with a Pokémon not in the extended Sinnoh Pokédex. In fact, she had two; {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}.
* Much like [[Misty's special lure|Misty's]], Jessie also has a special lure being modeled after her, as seen in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.
* In ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom!]]'', Jessie had {{wp|sinusitis}}.
* In the main series games, Jessie and [[James]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when [[Kanto]] is revisited, and (being exclusive to {{game|Yellow}}) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} remakes.
* Jessie's hair color changed from red to magenta in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin at You, Elekid]]''. This was because this episode was the first to feature digital colored animation, and was possibly due to Jessie's updated Sugimori artwork featuring magenta hair. In all the hand-colored cel animated episodes before the latter, Jessie's hair color was red. In certain movies though, such as ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', depict her hair to be red, possibly because of a different style in coloring.
* Until ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', every episode in which Jessie obtains a ribbon have been featured in episodes animated by 岩根雅明 ''Masaaki Iwane''.
* Out of all the Pokémon Jessie captured, she never actually weakened any of them with her Pokémon in battle; {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} one-hit-KO'd Arbok and never took any damage; {{TP|Jessie|Shellder}} was battled by [[James]] and his {{TP|James|Weezing}}; {{tp|Jessie|Wurmple}} was captured on the spot without any battling involved; {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} was beaten up by Jessie ''herself''; {{TP|Jessie|Yanma}} was weakened by [[Tyler]] and his {{P|Piplup}} and her [[Koromori]] was captured off screen and she had no pokemon on hand.
* In ''[[EP218|Plant It Now... Diglett Later]]'', Jessie claims to be 20 years old when an elderly woman claims to be 120, and Jessie reacts by saying "No! That's ten times my age!" However, Meowth replies "Now where did you learn that math?", so it's possible that she is older.
**However, in the dub of ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'' Jessie is said to be 17 years old.

===Name origin===
Jessie's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. Her Japanese name, Musashi, is taken from 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', a famous Japanese swordsman. In his most famous duel, he defeated his rival, 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', after whom James got his Japanese name. However, one can argue that she is also named after the Japanese battleship {{wp|Musashi}}, as her rival [[Cassidy]]'s Japanese name is based on the Japanese battleship {{wp|Yamato}}.

She is based on a combination of [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s old girlfriend from when he was in school and the female antagonist of the ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1472 Time Bokan]'' anime series.

'''Jessie''' (Japanese: '''ムサシ''' ''Musashi'') is a member of the [[Team Rocket]] trio with [[James]] and {{MTR}}, that follows {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:Jessie Anime.png|left|thumb|200px|Jessie in her [[Team Rocket uniform#White uniform|white uniform]] worn from ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to [[DP191]].]]
Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of three, Miyamoto left on a mission to the {{wp|Andes}} to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of more nourishing food.

When she was old enough, she left home to become a Pokémon nurse in [[Johto]]. However, the school she was enrolled in was literally for ''Pokémon'' nurses (i.e. {{p|Chansey}}), so she failed to graduate and left, leaving behind a [[Nurse Joy's Blissey|Chansey]] she had befriended there. In the episode ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Jessie was reunited with that same Chansey, which had since evolved into a {{p|Blissey}}. It is assumed that she then traveled back to [[Kanto]], where she enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s school, she met [[James]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in [[Sunny Town]], where Jessie was known for swinging a chain above her head as she rode her bike, acquiring the nickname "Chainer Jess". It was revealed in ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'' that she was a model at one point.
[[File:Jessie BW anime.png|thumb|Jessie in the {{series|Best Wishes}}|220px]]
Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between Jessie and James after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}} but they quickly made up and became good friends.

[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first apperance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
Sometime before joining Team Rocket, and it is not known when, Jessie obtained a [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Also during the years before Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly. In ''[[EP234|Xatu the Future]]'', she revealed that she had once worked at a T.V. station as the weathergirl. In ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', it was revealed that she once was a ninja. In ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', it was revealed that she had a crush on a boy she had gone to school with named [[Astin]], who has a current-day counterpart [[Austin|with a similar name]].

She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket. Team Rocket member {{an|Wendy}} held a grudge against Jessie for failing to pay for a drink (making Wendy pay), but got her revenge when she added the charge to Jessie's overall Team Rocket bill.

Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like Pokémon, owning both an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké Showdown]]'', she expressed a preference for {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon in general.

It is revealed in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'' that Jessie is almost identical in appearance to James's fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], with the two of them having virtually identical faces and the only noticeable physical differences between them being eye color, hairstyle, and slightly different hair colors. Meowth in particular takes notice of this and frequently reminds Jessie of the fact throughout the episode, something she takes strong offense to due to Jessiebelle's reprehensible personality. Interestingly enough by the time the subject of Jessiebelle is breached again in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' she seems to have forgotten about her doppelganger and needs Meowth to remind her of who she is. The resemblance between the two was further explored in ''[[DP153|The Treasure is All Mine!]]'' when she disguised herself as Jessiebelle in order to grant herself, James, and Meowth, entrance into one of James's family mansions without James having to do so himself.

Jessie is also known to be very vain and is also prone to explosive anger. She values her appearance, and she can get furious when her face or hair is damaged, such as in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile!]]'', ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' or ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]''. When this happens, she may do things like beat up a Pokémon such as {{MTR}} or her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Furthermore, Jessie goes into a violent outrage whenever someone insults her beauty by calling her old, such as the episode ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' when {{an|Misty}} calls Jessie an "old hag" (Japanese: ''oba-san''). She spat fire in extreme anger after Misty called her that name in that episode. She is also angered (compared to her companions, who are usually depressed when they fail at something) when missions are either failed or botched, which is a regular thing. This anger was intensely demonstrated in the Indigo League, Orange Islands and part of the Johto League story arcs. However, her anger tantrums started to become less intense over the next two story arcs. It should be noted that her short temper, while it has always been a part of her character, tended to appear far more intense in the dub than in the original, which is a contrast of Lillis's vocal performance to Hayashibara's.
[[File:Jessie Jessebella.png|thumb|200px|left|As Jessebella]]
Starting in [[Hoenn]], Jessie became a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], entering every contest that she could. She frequently made it to the battle round, but usually lost there. However, in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', she finally succeeded in winning an (unofficial) contest by using [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]], which she had saved earlier in the episode. And, in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she won an official contest with her Dustox at [[Solaceon Town]]. Later in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist]]'', she won a ribbon with help of her Yanmega. She has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in the Hoenn, Kanto, and Sinnoh regions.
[[File:Jessadia.png|thumb|200px|As Jessadia]]
In the Kanto contests, Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] herself as ''Jessebella'' (Japanese: '''ムサぴょん''' ''Musa-pyon'') wearing a red dress and glasses. Eventually, Ash, Brock, Max and May found out her true identity in the last contest.

[[File:Jessalina.png|thumb|left|250px|Jessie disguised as Jessilina]]
During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Jessie dressed up as ''Jessadia'' (Japanese: '''プリティ・ムサリン''' ''Pretty Musalin'') and wore glasses, long white socks, a yellow and orange dress, and had her hair in pigtails. She worked there as an announcer and [[Lilian Meridian]]'s assistant; Lilian herself said she did not really like "Jessadia"'s style, but recognized her talent.

In Sinnoh {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, Jessie disguised herself as ''Jessilina'' (Japanese: '''キャンディ・ムサリーナ''' ''Candy Musalina''), using big glasses and an orange dress. She was notable for the fact that, in the appeals round of a contest, Jessie tended to use her Pokémon to show herself off, rather than showing them off. The orange dress she wore was ripped into pieces during her appeal for the Grand Festival in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]''. In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, she entered Super Contests under the name Jessiebella (referencing Jessiebelle again).
[[Image:Jessie in Grand Festival.png|thumb|250px|Jessilina in the Grand Festival]]
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' she once again used her Jessadia disguise to report on the [[Wallace Cup]].

Although Jessie entered mostly every contest in Hoenn and Kanto, she lost in all of them, whether it was the first match of the Battle Rounds or the finals. However, in the Sinnoh region, she won three ribbons herself using her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, and obtained a ribbon after James won a contest in her place, as well as receiving one from [[Princess Salvia]] after she lost to her. Jessie is now eligible to participate in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], and has made it to the semi-finals, losing to Dawn.

She's also used other aliases to disguise herself under, such as ''Jessilinda'' during her time at the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] and ''Jessilynlyn'' while competing in the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. Against [[Marilyn]] in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', she used the alias ''Jessirilyn''.

===Pokémon===
As with the standards set by the Team Rocket organization, Jessie initially started off with mainly {{type2|Poison}}s. However, as the anime continued onward, her team has diversified. However, she is still strongly associated with Poison-type serpentine Pokémon, such as Arbok and Seviper. Most of her other Pokémon tend to be unusual in appearance and don't usually fit the general image of "cute". However, she does display a desire to obtain Pokémon that are considered "adorable" when the opportunity presents itself, especially feminine Pokémon such as {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Smoochum}}. She was also attracted to a {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle!]]''.

Occasionally, she manages to take control of some powerful Pokémon, but due to either inexperience or hubris, this often backfires and loses control of them. She doesn't appear to train her Pokémon that often. Instead, they are often used to fight against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. When she enters {{pkmn|Contest}}s, she tends to involve herself in her Pokémon's appeals.

==In the games==
==={{game|Yellow}}===
Both Jessie and James appear in Pokémon Yellow as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the {{ga|Red|main character}} on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching [[Giovanni|their Boss]].

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture Pikachu.

===Pokémon Puzzle League===
Along with many other anime characters, both Jessie and James appeared in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]]. They are the main opponents in the "Spa Service" line clear challenge.

==In the manga==
[[File:Jessie Electric Tale.jpg|thumb|left|Jessie in the manga]]
Jessie appears in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} series along with her teammates [[James]] and {{MTR}}.

Her first appearance is in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. She, James and Meowth tag along with a group of lost Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}}, to try and find the [[Hidden Village]]. When they arrive, she and James attempt to steal the Pokémon living in the village, but they are quickly expelled by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. In this chapter, she uses a {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} in battle.
[[File:Rocketshipping.jpg|thumb|right|Jessie and [[James]] as a [[RocketShipping|married couple]] in the manga]]
Jessie's next appearance is in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. She and James attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. At this point in the manga, Jessie's {{p|Ekans}} has evolved into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, though its evolution is not depicted in the manga.

While in the anime, the nature of Jessie's relationship with James is not explicitly stated, in the epilogue of the manga, James is shown [[RocketShipping|confessing his love to Jessie]]. They are shown afterwards married with Jessie visibly pregnant.

Like many female characters in the manga, Jessie is depicted with an oversized bust, though this is edited down for [[VIZ Media]]'s English translation.

==In the TCG==
[[File:SugimoriJessie.png|right|thumb|Art from the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} TCG Jessie theme deck]]
Jessie and James appear on both versions of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}, which originally released in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set; it was re-released with different artwork in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}. In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed {{TCG|Theme Deck}} based on {{TCG|Jessie}}.

==Trivia==
* According to James in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', Jessie is short for Jessica.
* Both Jessie and [[James]] have used a {{p|Charizard}} at separate times. They have used a third one together as well. However, none of the three remained in their care.
[[Image:Jessie's_Lure.jpg‎|Jessie's special lure|thumb]]
* In Sinnoh, she dressed up as a cowgirl and she was called Catherine Jessieburn. This is a direct reference to the legendary Hollywood actress {{wp|Katharine Hepburn}}.
* Jessie was the only member of the anime's main cast who traveled through Sinnoh with a Pokémon not in the extended Sinnoh Pokédex. In fact, she had two; {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}.
* Much like [[Misty's special lure|Misty's]], Jessie also has a special lure being modeled after her, as seen in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.
* In ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom!]]'', Jessie had {{wp|sinusitis}}.
* In the main series games, Jessie and [[James]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when [[Kanto]] is revisited, and (being exclusive to {{game|Yellow}}) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} remakes.
* Jessie's hair color changed from red to magenta in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin at You, Elekid]]''. This was because this episode was the first to feature digital colored animation, and was possibly due to Jessie's updated Sugimori artwork featuring magenta hair. In all the hand-colored cel animated episodes before the latter, Jessie's hair color was red. In certain movies though, such as ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', depict her hair to be red, possibly because of a different style in coloring.
* Until ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', every episode in which Jessie obtains a ribbon have been featured in episodes animated by 岩根雅明 ''Masaaki Iwane''.
* Out of all the Pokémon Jessie captured, she never actually weakened any of them with her Pokémon in battle; {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} one-hit-KO'd Arbok and never took any damage; {{TP|Jessie|Shellder}} was battled by [[James]] and his {{TP|James|Weezing}}; {{tp|Jessie|Wurmple}} was captured on the spot without any battling involved; {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} was beaten up by Jessie ''herself''; {{TP|Jessie|Yanma}} was weakened by [[Tyler]] and his {{P|Piplup}} and her [Koromori] was captured off screen and she had no pokemon on hand.
* In ''[[EP218|Plant It Now... Diglett Later]]'', Jessie claims to be 20 years old when an elderly woman claims to be 120, and Jessie reacts by saying "No! That's ten times my age!" However, Meowth replies "Now where did you learn that math?", so it's possible that she is older.
**However, in the dub of ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'' Jessie is said to be 17 years old.

===Name origin===
Jessie's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. Her Japanese name, Musashi, is taken from 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', a famous Japanese swordsman. In his most famous duel, he defeated his rival, 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', after whom James got his Japanese name. However, one can argue that she is also named after the Japanese battleship {{wp|Musashi}}, as her rival [[Cassidy]]'s Japanese name is based on the Japanese battleship {{wp|Yamato}}.

She is based on a combination of [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s old girlfriend from when he was in school and the female antagonist of the ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1472 Time Bokan]'' anime series.

'''Jessie''' (Japanese: '''ムサシ''' ''Musashi'') is a member of the [[Team Rocket]] trio with [[James]] and {{MTR}}, that follows {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:Jessie Anime.png|left|thumb|200px|Jessie in her [[Team Rocket uniform#White uniform|white uniform]] worn from ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to [[DP191]].]]
Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of three, Miyamoto left on a mission to the {{wp|Andes}} to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of more nourishing food.

When she was old enough, she left home to become a Pokémon nurse in [[Johto]]. However, the school she was enrolled in was literally for ''Pokémon'' nurses (i.e. {{p|Chansey}}), so she failed to graduate and left, leaving behind a [[Nurse Joy's Blissey|Chansey]] she had befriended there. In the episode ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Jessie was reunited with that same Chansey, which had since evolved into a {{p|Blissey}}. It is assumed that she then traveled back to [[Kanto]], where she enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s school, she met [[James]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in [[Sunny Town]], where Jessie was known for swinging a chain above her head as she rode her bike, acquiring the nickname "Chainer Jess". It was revealed in ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'' that she was a model at one point.
[[File:Jessie BW anime.png|thumb|Jessie in the {{series|Best Wishes}}|220px]]
Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between Jessie and James after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}} but they quickly made up and became good friends.
[[File:Jessie hair.png|thumb|Jessie after beating up her Seviper for biting off her hair|200px]]
[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first apperance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
Sometime before joining Team Rocket, and it is not known when, Jessie obtained a [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Also during the years before Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly. In ''[[EP234|Xatu the Future]]'', she revealed that she had once worked at a T.V. station as the weathergirl. In ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', it was revealed that she once was a ninja. In ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', it was revealed that she had a crush on a boy she had gone to school with named [[Astin]], who has a current-day counterpart [[Austin|with a similar name]].

She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket. Team Rocket member {{an|Wendy}} held a grudge against Jessie for failing to pay for a drink (making Wendy pay), but got her revenge when she added the charge to Jessie's overall Team Rocket bill.

Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like Pokémon, owning both an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké Showdown]]'', she expressed a preference for {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon in general.

It is revealed in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'' that Jessie is almost identical in appearance to James's fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], with the two of them having virtually identical faces and the only noticeable physical differences between them being eye color, hairstyle, and slightly different hair colors. Meowth in particular takes notice of this and frequently reminds Jessie of the fact throughout the episode, something she takes strong offense to due to Jessiebelle's reprehensible personality. Interestingly enough by the time the subject of Jessiebelle is breached again in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' she seems to have forgotten about her doppelganger and needs Meowth to remind her of who she is. The resemblance between the two was further explored in ''[[DP153|The Treasure is All Mine!]]'' when she disguised herself as Jessiebelle in order to grant herself, James, and Meowth, entrance into one of James's family mansions without James having to do so himself.

Jessie is also known to be very vain and is also prone to explosive anger. She values her appearance, and she can get furious when her face or hair is damaged, such as in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile!]]'', ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' or ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]''. When this happens, she may do things like beat up a Pokémon such as {{MTR}} or her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Furthermore, Jessie goes into a violent outrage whenever someone insults her beauty by calling her old, such as the episode ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' when {{an|Misty}} calls Jessie an "old hag" (Japanese: ''oba-san''). She spat fire in extreme anger after Misty called her that name in that episode. She is also angered (compared to her companions, who are usually depressed when they fail at something) when missions are either failed or botched, which is a regular thing. This anger was intensely demonstrated in the Indigo League, Orange Islands and part of the Johto League story arcs. However, her anger tantrums started to become less intense over the next two story arcs. It should be noted that her short temper, while it has always been a part of her character, tended to appear far more intense in the dub than in the original, which is a contrast of Lillis's vocal performance to Hayashibara's.
[[File:Jessie Jessebella.png|thumb|200px|left|As Jessebella]]
Starting in [[Hoenn]], Jessie became a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], entering every contest that she could. She frequently made it to the battle round, but usually lost there. However, in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', she finally succeeded in winning an (unofficial) contest by using [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]], which she had saved earlier in the episode. And, in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she won an official contest with her Dustox at [[Solaceon Town]]. Later in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist]]'', she won a ribbon with help of her Yanmega. She has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in the Hoenn, Kanto, and Sinnoh regions.
[[File:Jessadia.png|thumb|200px|As Jessadia]]
In the Kanto contests, Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] herself as ''Jessebella'' (Japanese: '''ムサぴょん''' ''Musa-pyon'') wearing a red dress and glasses. Eventually, Ash, Brock, Max and May found out her true identity in the last contest.

[[File:Jessalina.png|thumb|left|250px|Jessie disguised as Jessilina]]
During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Jessie dressed up as ''Jessadia'' (Japanese: '''プリティ・ムサリン''' ''Pretty Musalin'') and wore glasses, long white socks, a yellow and orange dress, and had her hair in pigtails. She worked there as an announcer and [[Lilian Meridian]]'s assistant; Lilian herself said she did not really like "Jessadia"'s style, but recognized her talent.

In Sinnoh {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, Jessie disguised herself as ''Jessilina'' (Japanese: '''キャンディ・ムサリーナ''' ''Candy Musalina''), using big glasses and an orange dress. She was notable for the fact that, in the appeals round of a contest, Jessie tended to use her Pokémon to show herself off, rather than showing them off. The orange dress she wore was ripped into pieces during her appeal for the Grand Festival in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]''. In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, she entered Super Contests under the name Jessiebella (referencing Jessiebelle again).
[[Image:Jessie in Grand Festival.png|thumb|250px|Jessilina in the Grand Festival]]
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' she once again used her Jessadia disguise to report on the [[Wallace Cup]].

Although Jessie entered mostly every contest in Hoenn and Kanto, she lost in all of them, whether it was the first match of the Battle Rounds or the finals. However, in the Sinnoh region, she won three ribbons herself using her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, and obtained a ribbon after James won a contest in her place, as well as receiving one from [[Princess Salvia]] after she lost to her. Jessie is now eligible to participate in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], and has made it to the semi-finals, losing to Dawn.

She's also used other aliases to disguise herself under, such as ''Jessilinda'' during her time at the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] and ''Jessilynlyn'' while competing in the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. Against [[Marilyn]] in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', she used the alias ''Jessirilyn''.

===Pokémon===
As with the standards set by the Team Rocket organization, Jessie initially started off with mainly {{type2|Poison}}s. However, as the anime continued onward, her team has diversified. However, she is still strongly associated with Poison-type serpentine Pokémon, such as Arbok and Seviper. Most of her other Pokémon tend to be unusual in appearance and don't usually fit the general image of "cute". However, she does display a desire to obtain Pokémon that are considered "adorable" when the opportunity presents itself, especially feminine Pokémon such as {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Smoochum}}. She was also attracted to a {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle!]]''.

Occasionally, she manages to take control of some powerful Pokémon, but due to either inexperience or hubris, this often backfires and loses control of them. She doesn't appear to train her Pokémon that often. Instead, they are often used to fight against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. When she enters {{pkmn|Contest}}s, she tends to involve herself in her Pokémon's appeals.

==In the games==
==={{game|Yellow}}===
Both Jessie and James appear in Pokémon Yellow as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the {{ga|Red|main character}} on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching [[Giovanni|their Boss]].

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture Pikachu.

[[File:Rocketshipping.jpg|thumb|right|Jessie and [[James]] as a [[RocketShipping|married couple]] in the manga]]
Jessie's next appearance is in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. She and James attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. At this point in the manga, Jessie's {{p|Ekans}} has evolved into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, though its evolution is not depicted in the manga.

While in the anime, the nature of Jessie's relationship with James is not explicitly stated, in the epilogue of the manga, James is shown [[RocketShipping|confessing his love to Jessie]]. They are shown afterwards married with Jessie visibly pregnant.

Like many female characters in the manga, Jessie is depicted with an oversized bust, though this is edited down for [[VIZ Media]]'s English translation.

==In the TCG==
[[File:SugimoriJessie.png|right|thumb|Art from the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} TCG Jessie theme deck]]
Jessie and James appear on both versions of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}, which originally released in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set; it was re-released with different artwork in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}. In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed {{TCG|Theme Deck}} based on {{TCG|Jessie}}.

==Trivia==
* According to James in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', Jessie is short for Jessica.
* Both Jessie and [[James]] have used a {{p|Charizard}} at separate times. They have used a third one together as well. However, none of the three remained in their care.
[[Image:Jessie's_Lure.jpg‎|Jessie's special lure|thumb]]
* In Sinnoh, she dressed up as a cowgirl and she was called Catherine Jessieburn. This is a direct reference to the legendary Hollywood actress {{wp|Katharine Hepburn}}.
* Jessie was the only member of the anime's main cast who traveled through Sinnoh with a Pokémon not in the extended Sinnoh Pokédex. In fact, she had two; {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}.
* Much like [[Misty's special lure|Misty's]], Jessie also has a special lure being modeled after her, as seen in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.
* In ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom!]]'', Jessie had {{wp|sinusitis}}.
* In the main series games, Jessie and [[James]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when [[Kanto]] is revisited, and (being exclusive to {{game|Yellow}}) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} remakes.
* Jessie's hair color changed from red to magenta in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin at You, Elekid]]''. This was because this episode was the first to feature digital colored animation, and was possibly due to Jessie's updated Sugimori artwork featuring magenta hair. In all the hand-colored cel animated episodes before the latter, Jessie's hair color was red. In certain movies though, such as ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', depict her hair to be red, possibly because of a different style in coloring.
* Until ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', every episode in which Jessie obtains a ribbon have been featured in episodes animated by 岩根雅明 ''Masaaki Iwane''.
* Out of all the Pokémon Jessie captured, she never actually weakened any of them with her Pokémon in battle; {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} one-hit-KO'd Arbok and never took any damage; {{TP|Jessie|Shellder}} was battled by [[James]] and his {{TP|James|Weezing}}; {{tp|Jessie|Wurmple}} was captured on the spot without any battling involved; {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} was beaten up by Jessie ''herself''; {{TP|Jessie|Yanma}} was weakened by [[Tyler]] and his {{P|Piplup}} and her [[Media:koromori]] was captured off screen and she had no pokemon on hand.
* In ''[[EP218|Plant It Now... Diglett Later]]'', Jessie claims to be 20 years old when an elderly woman claims to be 120, and Jessie reacts by saying "No! That's ten times my age!" However, Meowth replies "Now where did you learn that math?", so it's possible that she is older.
**However, in the dub of ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'' Jessie is said to be 17 years old.

===Name origin===
Jessie's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. Her Japanese name, Musashi, is taken from 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', a famous Japanese swordsman. In his most famous duel, he defeated his rival, 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', after whom James got his Japanese name. However, one can argue that she is also named after the Japanese battleship {{wp|Musashi}}, as her rival [[Cassidy]]'s Japanese name is based on the Japanese battleship {{wp|Yamato}}.

She is based on a combination of [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s old girlfriend from when he was in school and the female antagonist of the ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1472 Time Bokan]'' anime series.

'''Jessie''' (Japanese: '''ムサシ''' ''Musashi'') is a member of the [[Team Rocket]] trio with [[James]] and {{MTR}}, that follows {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:Jessie Anime.png|left|thumb|200px|Jessie in her [[Team Rocket uniform#White uniform|white uniform]] worn from ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to [[DP191]].]]
Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of three, Miyamoto left on a mission to the {{wp|Andes}} to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of more nourishing food.

When she was old enough, she left home to become a Pokémon nurse in [[Johto]]. However, the school she was enrolled in was literally for ''Pokémon'' nurses (i.e. {{p|Chansey}}), so she failed to graduate and left, leaving behind a [[Nurse Joy's Blissey|Chansey]] she had befriended there. In the episode ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Jessie was reunited with that same Chansey, which had since evolved into a {{p|Blissey}}. It is assumed that she then traveled back to [[Kanto]], where she enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s school, she met [[James]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in [[Sunny Town]], where Jessie was known for swinging a chain above her head as she rode her bike, acquiring the nickname "Chainer Jess". It was revealed in ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'' that she was a model at one point.
[[File:Jessie BW anime.png|thumb|Jessie in the {{series|Best Wishes}}|220px]]
Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between Jessie and James after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}} but they quickly made up and became good friends.
[[File:Jessie hair.png|thumb|Jessie after beating up her Seviper for biting off her hair|200px]]
[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first apperance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
Sometime before joining Team Rocket, and it is not known when, Jessie obtained a [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Also during the years before Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly. In ''[[EP234|Xatu the Future]]'', she revealed that she had once worked at a T.V. station as the weathergirl. In ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', it was revealed that she once was a ninja. In ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'', it was revealed that she had a crush on a boy she had gone to school with named [[Astin]], who has a current-day counterpart [[Austin|with a similar name]].

She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket. Team Rocket member {{an|Wendy}} held a grudge against Jessie for failing to pay for a drink (making Wendy pay), but got her revenge when she added the charge to Jessie's overall Team Rocket bill.

Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like Pokémon, owning both an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké Showdown]]'', she expressed a preference for {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon in general.

It is revealed in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'' that Jessie is almost identical in appearance to James's fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], with the two of them having virtually identical faces and the only noticeable physical differences between them being eye color, hairstyle, and slightly different hair colors. Meowth in particular takes notice of this and frequently reminds Jessie of the fact throughout the episode, something she takes strong offense to due to Jessiebelle's reprehensible personality. Interestingly enough by the time the subject of Jessiebelle is breached again in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' she seems to have forgotten about her doppelganger and needs Meowth to remind her of who she is. The resemblance between the two was further explored in ''[[DP153|The Treasure is All Mine!]]'' when she disguised herself as Jessiebelle in order to grant herself, James, and Meowth, entrance into one of James's family mansions without James having to do so himself.

Jessie is also known to be very vain and is also prone to explosive anger. She values her appearance, and she can get furious when her face or hair is damaged, such as in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile!]]'', ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'' or ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]''. When this happens, she may do things like beat up a Pokémon such as {{MTR}} or her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Furthermore, Jessie goes into a violent outrage whenever someone insults her beauty by calling her old, such as the episode ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' when {{an|Misty}} calls Jessie an "old hag" (Japanese: ''oba-san''). She spat fire in extreme anger after Misty called her that name in that episode. She is also angered (compared to her companions, who are usually depressed when they fail at something) when missions are either failed or botched, which is a regular thing. This anger was intensely demonstrated in the Indigo League, Orange Islands and part of the Johto League story arcs. However, her anger tantrums started to become less intense over the next two story arcs. It should be noted that her short temper, while it has always been a part of her character, tended to appear far more intense in the dub than in the original, which is a contrast of Lillis's vocal performance to Hayashibara's.
[[File:Jessie Jessebella.png|thumb|200px|left|As Jessebella]]
Starting in [[Hoenn]], Jessie became a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], entering every contest that she could. She frequently made it to the battle round, but usually lost there. However, in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', she finally succeeded in winning an (unofficial) contest by using [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]], which she had saved earlier in the episode. And, in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she won an official contest with her Dustox at [[Solaceon Town]]. Later in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist]]'', she won a ribbon with help of her Yanmega. She has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in the Hoenn, Kanto, and Sinnoh regions.
[[File:Jessadia.png|thumb|200px|As Jessadia]]
In the Kanto contests, Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] herself as ''Jessebella'' (Japanese: '''ムサぴょん''' ''Musa-pyon'') wearing a red dress and glasses. Eventually, Ash, Brock, Max and May found out her true identity in the last contest.

[[File:Jessalina.png|thumb|left|250px|Jessie disguised as Jessilina]]
During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Jessie dressed up as ''Jessadia'' (Japanese: '''プリティ・ムサリン''' ''Pretty Musalin'') and wore glasses, long white socks, a yellow and orange dress, and had her hair in pigtails. She worked there as an announcer and [[Lilian Meridian]]'s assistant; Lilian herself said she did not really like "Jessadia"'s style, but recognized her talent.

In Sinnoh {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, Jessie disguised herself as ''Jessilina'' (Japanese: '''キャンディ・ムサリーナ''' ''Candy Musalina''), using big glasses and an orange dress. She was notable for the fact that, in the appeals round of a contest, Jessie tended to use her Pokémon to show herself off, rather than showing them off. The orange dress she wore was ripped into pieces during her appeal for the Grand Festival in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]''. In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, she entered Super Contests under the name Jessiebella (referencing Jessiebelle again).
[[Image:Jessie in Grand Festival.png|thumb|250px|Jessilina in the Grand Festival]]
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' she once again used her Jessadia disguise to report on the [[Wallace Cup]].

Although Jessie entered mostly every contest in Hoenn and Kanto, she lost in all of them, whether it was the first match of the Battle Rounds or the finals. However, in the Sinnoh region, she won three ribbons herself using her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}, {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, and obtained a ribbon after James won a contest in her place, as well as receiving one from [[Princess Salvia]] after she lost to her. Jessie is now eligible to participate in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]], and has made it to the semi-finals, losing to Dawn.

She's also used other aliases to disguise herself under, such as ''Jessilinda'' during her time at the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] and ''Jessilynlyn'' while competing in the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. Against [[Marilyn]] in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', she used the alias ''Jessirilyn''.

===Pokémon===
As with the standards set by the Team Rocket organization, Jessie initially started off with mainly {{type2|Poison}}s. However, as the anime continued onward, her team has diversified. However, she is still strongly associated with Poison-type serpentine Pokémon, such as Arbok and Seviper. Most of her other Pokémon tend to be unusual in appearance and don't usually fit the general image of "cute". However, she does display a desire to obtain Pokémon that are considered "adorable" when the opportunity presents itself, especially feminine Pokémon such as {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Smoochum}}. She was also attracted to a {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle!]]''.

Occasionally, she manages to take control of some powerful Pokémon, but due to either inexperience or hubris, this often backfires and loses control of them. She doesn't appear to train her Pokémon that often. Instead, they are often used to fight against {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}}. When she enters {{pkmn|Contest}}s, she tends to involve herself in her Pokémon's appeals.

==In the games==
==={{game|Yellow}}===
Both Jessie and James appear in Pokémon Yellow as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the {{ga|Red|main character}} on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching [[Giovanni|their Boss]].

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture Pikachu.

===Pokémon Puzzle League===
Along with many other anime characters, both Jessie and James appeared in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]]. They are the main opponents in the "Spa Service" line clear challenge.

==In the manga==
[[File:Jessie Electric Tale.jpg|thumb|left|Jessie in the manga]]
Jessie appears in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} series along with her teammates [[James]] and {{MTR}}.

Her first appearance is in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. She, James and Meowth tag along with a group of lost Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}}, to try and find the [[Hidden Village]]. When they arrive, she and James attempt to steal the Pokémon living in the village, but they are quickly expelled by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. In this chapter, she uses a {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} in battle.
[[File:Rocketshipping.jpg|thumb|right|Jessie and [[James]] as a [[RocketShipping|married couple]] in the manga]]
Jessie's next appearance is in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. She and James attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. At this point in the manga, Jessie's {{p|Ekans}} has evolved into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, though its evolution is not depicted in the manga.

While in the anime, the nature of Jessie's relationship with James is not explicitly stated, in the epilogue of the manga, James is shown [[RocketShipping|confessing his love to Jessie]]. They are shown afterwards married with Jessie visibly pregnant.

Like many female characters in the manga, Jessie is depicted with an oversized bust, though this is edited down for [[VIZ Media]]'s English translation.

==In the TCG==
[[File:SugimoriJessie.png|right|thumb|Art from the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} TCG Jessie theme deck]]
Jessie and James appear on both versions of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}, which originally released in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set; it was re-released with different artwork in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}. In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed {{TCG|Theme Deck}} based on {{TCG|Jessie}}.

==Trivia==
* According to James in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', Jessie is short for Jessica.
* Both Jessie and [[James]] have used a {{p|Charizard}} at separate times. They have used a third one together as well. However, none of the three remained in their care.
[[Image:Jessie's_Lure.jpg‎|Jessie's special lure|thumb]]
* In Sinnoh, she dressed up as a cowgirl and she was called Catherine Jessieburn. This is a direct reference to the legendary Hollywood actress {{wp|Katharine Hepburn}}.
* Jessie was the only member of the anime's main cast who traveled through Sinnoh with a Pokémon not in the extended Sinnoh Pokédex. In fact, she had two; {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}.
* Much like [[Misty's special lure|Misty's]], Jessie also has a special lure being modeled after her, as seen in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.
* In ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom!]]'', Jessie had {{wp|sinusitis}}.
* In the main series games, Jessie and [[James]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when [[Kanto]] is revisited, and (being exclusive to {{game|Yellow}}) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} remakes.
* Jessie's hair color changed from red to magenta in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin at You, Elekid]]''. This was because this episode was the first to feature digital colored animation, and was possibly due to Jessie's updated Sugimori artwork featuring magenta hair. In all the hand-colored cel animated episodes before the latter, Jessie's hair color was red. In certain movies though, such as ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', depict her hair to be red, possibly because of a different style in coloring.
* Until ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]'', every episode in which Jessie obtains a ribbon have been featured in episodes animated by 岩根雅明 ''Masaaki Iwane''.
* Out of all the Pokémon Jessie captured, she never actually weakened any of them with her Pokémon in battle; {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} one-hit-KO'd Arbok and never took any damage; {{TP|Jessie|Shellder}} was battled by [[James]] and his {{TP|James|Weezing}}; {{tp|Jessie|Wurmple}} was captured on the spot without any battling involved; {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} was beaten up by Jessie ''herself''; {{TP|Jessie|Yanma}} was weakened by [[Tyler]] and his {{P|Piplup}} and her koromori was captured off screen and she had no pokemon on hand.
* In ''[[EP218|Plant It Now... Diglett Later]]'', Jessie claims to be 20 years old when an elderly woman claims to be 120, and Jessie reacts by saying "No! That's ten times my age!" However, Meowth replies "Now where did you learn that math?", so it's possible that she is older.
**However, in the dub of ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'' Jessie is said to be 17 years old.

===Name origin===
Jessie's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. Her Japanese name, Musashi, is taken from 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', a famous Japanese swordsman. In his most famous duel, he defeated his rival, 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', after whom James got his Japanese name. However, one can argue that she is also named after the Japanese battleship {{wp|Musashi}}, as her rival [[Cassidy]]'s Japanese name is based on the Japanese battleship {{wp|Yamato}}.

She is based on a combination of [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s old girlfriend from when he was in school and the female antagonist of the ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1472 Time Bokan]'' anime series.

Broccoli. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:55, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Actually it's Willow

it's name comes from willow

appu not so sure...."Ape?"

(and I apologize for my previous mistake) [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 00:07, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

:In the part of "Yana", the vegetable(野菜/yasai) might be an origin. When the pronunciation of the Yasai(vegetable) is changed, it becomes yana(野(ya)菜(na)). [[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 12:38, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
::I could understand that, it'd essentially mean Vegetable Ape. [[User:Myzou|Myzou]] 04:36, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

I beleive Ape is Eipu [[User:Snozzardi|***Snozzardi***]]

My expectation seems to have been crushed by the name of "Hiyappu(Hyacinthus?)" and "Baoppu(Baobab?)". [[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 08:03, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

== I'm almost sure it could be mainspace, but I ask before post it! ==

Trivia
* Yanappu was first seen in an image despicting Toys in the month of July, but it wasn't named and nothing was known about it. In the beggining of August a ''false'' leak of the September issue of CoroCoro showed this Pokémon again with more information about it, but it was proven false, even though this Pokémon is now know as real. This could prove the leak had actually some true ''leaked'' information about the upcoming games and that some of the rest of the Pokémon shown are real too.

(yes.. it needs links xD.. I've been away a while so I'm a little ..off). Thanks in advance. [[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 03:20, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

the part about the fake info sounds like speculation.... I think only the first part should be kept [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 03:26, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
: Yes, you're right I guess! Tc26 added it, thanks T!! [[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 05:22, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

== Protect/Rename? ==

Serebii just revealed the 3 monkey's english names, which were released via English Display Boxes sent to game retailers. There's a picture, but it's low quality. As such, I'm just wondering if an admin may want to protect the 3 elemental monkey's pages, as Serebii isn't a reliable source for Bulba, as posted on multiple pages, or if they think the picture is reliable enough, rename. Just thought I'd post because obviously people will see it and attempt to change it. [[User:Myzou|Myzou]] 22:14, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
:It's not just Serebii - it's all unofficial sources of information. We'll just watch the pages for now. I'd rather not lock editing for everyone just in case. If it becomes a problem, we'll deal with it later. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 22:21, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
::Blurry? [http://pokebeach.com/news/1210/pokemon-black-white-display-box.jpg The picture] looks pretty clear to me. I just clicked to zoom in, and I can clearly see the names "Pansage", "Pansear", "Panpour", "N" and "Team Plasma".[[User:Burnpsy|Burnpsy]] 20:22, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
:::They could be nicknamed. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:36, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
::::Come on. You know it's utter bullcrap. Pokemon on the screens are never nicknamed. And the "official" screens are always direct translations of their Japanese counterpart. But, I know, "we're Bulbapedia. We must deny everything." --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:45, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
:::::Yes, these are almost certainly their English names. However, it is better to be overly cautious than not cautious enough. Have these names been trademarked yet? http://www.pansage.com/ has a squatter, http://www.panpour.com/ is open and http://www.pansear.com/ is parked. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:12, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

:::::::::::I just went to a GameStop and saw a big display box of the video game boxart. The back of the box, which is the same as the normal-sized display box, has a screenshot of the game with the monkeys' names as "Pansage", "Pansear", and "Panpour".
