J: Difference between revisions

J (Japanese: ポケモンハンターJ Pokémon Hunter J) is a Pokémon Hunter who, with the help from her henchmen, steals Trainers' Pokémon and sells the Pokémon requested by her clients for a profit. She first appeared in Mutiny in the Bounty. Her Japanese voice actress is 本田貴子 Takako Honda. her English voice actress is Sonny Dey and her Brazilian Portuguese voice actress is Letícia Quinto.

Character

She is a person who is willing to do anything to capture Pokémon for her clients even if it means injuring people or Pokémon.

In Mutiny in the Bounty, she first stole Melodi's Gardevoir. Thinking Ash's Pikachu and Team Rocket's Meowth would be worth a lot, she stole them, too, thus forcing Ash to join forces with Jessie and James to rescue them. Following a brief confrontation with J, they managed to sneak into J's airborne base and rescue their Pokémon and all others she had stolen, before returning them to their rightful trainers. Though several of her henchmen have been captured by Officer Jenny, J remains still at large. Jessie, James and Meowth especially seem to harbor a grudge against her ever since she kidnapped Meowth.

J appeared again in Ill-Will Hunting!. This time, she was on a mission to steal a group of Shieldon, but was foiled by Ash and his friends, with help from Gary Oak. Her employer cut off the deal to obtain the Shieldon since Officer Jenny was near. After telling Ash and Co. not to get in her way next time, she tells her second in command to establish radio contact with their employer that they will not be doing any service with him again.

She appeared again during the two-part episode Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts One and Two where she tried to steal a special Riolu for her client.

Trivia

• J bears a resemblance to Wes from Pokémon Colosseum.
  • J also bears a resemblance to the Demon Hunters from the Warcraft series, as it looks like her goggles are a blindfold.
• Her name may be a reference to Vampire Hunter D, the title character of a series of novels by Japanese horror and pulp author Hideyuki Kikuchi of the same name.
• J actually seems as if she is trying to kill Ash, not merely get rid of him. This was shown in Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part Two when she commanded her Salamence to use Hyper Beam directly on him, having her Drapion squeeze him tight with its claws, and ejecting him from her ship at a great height.
• J's outfit has a slight resemblance to the outfits worn by Pokémon Mystery Club members, Ken and Mary.
• Although female, her henchmen call her sir.
• Both Jessie and James have given her the nickname Hunter Hussie in the dub. They also mentioned that J meant jerk.
