james's future

hey not sure if this belongs here, if not i do apologise.

since the series is gunna run through johto again do you think james will compete in a gym challenge like jesse competing in contests?

i know he has shown no interest but he may want to form his own identidy since without meowth and jesse he always seems lost and upset.

so mabe he might do gyms while ash does the battle frontier and do what jesse does borrowing pokemon of her
 
It would be interresting to see a side line for TR but I doubt the writers will bother to show us both BF, contests and Gyms.
 
Let's face it, James is NOTHING without Jessie and Meowth. XD Oh, well. At least he's still got his future wife and his rich family to lean on. Although, I think he'll just be trying to capture Pikachu and the other Pokemon like TR has been trying to do for 12 years... -.-
 
This is what im trying to say though! 12 years or so and only Jesse has got development and a dream to chase, James hasnt! he has nothing except his love for grass types!....... Even Meowth has had a bit more development since series one to now and the Pikachu shorts!

all we know about james is he loves grass types and likes to cross dress thats all we know! He need his own dream!
 
Well he has those side competitions he likes and doesn't do badly in them: 2 pokeringer eps, cosplay, and even the orienteering win!
Howev. James never struck me as the type to fully commit to a dream whether it's gyms, contests, or something new. He is arguably the nicest of the trio but he has a fatal flaw: the least backbone.
He ran away rather than get married. He even told the twerps he'd died to avoid returning to the first mansion (of course, he parents use the same trick to lure him back). He lied to Nanny & Pop-Pop rather than admit he was a Rocket. Even when he finally confessed to them it was as he was leaving. He ran from that village w/ the young lady in Chronicles etc...
Jessie w/ her Contest appearances has a brash personality that borders on arrogant. But you need to have some confidence to be a serius competitor and not retreat at the slightest provocation. Until James is willing to stand firm for more than 22 mins, he's not getting any long-term goals outside TR.

I'd say he's filthy stinking rich without Jessie and Meowth, then. Remember that fantasy with the Persian and James surrounded by money in the Kanto St. Anne arch? That's James in ten years.

Screw a Goal; he has money.

In all seriousness I've given up hope the writers will ever do anything with James which is a shame. He was my favorite traveling character until they dubbed down his role to the point that we hardly see he's there at all. Now I inexplicably like Brock and that's no good.

He has problems that prevent him from being a serious Pokemon Trainer until he works through them. In particular he doesn't like the idea of seeing his Pokemon get sick or hurt which is empathized in " Once There Were Greenfields " and seen a few more times before that point. That may be why Jessie usually uses her own Pokemon in the battling rounds of Contests and saves James' Pokemon for appeals. He's a good guy but he's really no Trainer even though he's shown small signs of potential in that area.

I dont know if it has been said, but the original BF was in Kanto to promote the games FireRed and LeafGreen, and now HeartGold and SoulSilver have been confirmed....so....there really isn't a need for it to be stated
 
We DO NOT know if the show will go back to Johto. It may be highly likely, but we don't know.

He hasn't shown any interest in them yet so I see no reason for him to all of a sudden want to. He likes being a criminal.
 
if james does do gyms itll be a new region when ash is also doing it or in a new region there could be a new sort of challenge

I still think James should become a breeder.

He really loves and cares for his pokemon. Even more than Ash does it seems.

I remember in an old episode named "Pokemon Shipwreck" he kicked Magikarp in the water telling it's useless. That's not what breeders and peapole who care about their Pokemon do...
Hm, I think he can became Pokemon trainer, or they can make some Grass type competitons for him, it would be great idea, but I think they're going to keep him forever as this... :(
 
they will probably introduce a new type of challenge in the next gen i could imagine James taking part in that. Maybe a trading card challenge as he loves his cards but that would be majorly boring to see watch how its done lol. Actually i change my mind scrap the trading card challenge i could imagine some type of Grassy challenge since he loves his grass types.
 
I really hope James does take a challange like gyms.But that could mean the end of team rocket.Which would be bad.:(
 
If James were to try a Gym Battle, that might be interesting to watch. Or even a Contest, causing him to win, would be just as good. Then, we can stop the continuous number of times Jessie loses a contest.

The same way Jessie becoming serious about her Contest Career ended Team Rocket. Huck. Huck.

Team Rocket is their " night job " so to speak. They still have other interests and keep regular jobs to make ends meet whenever they get into town.

I agree. James is more emotionally attached to his Pokemon than Ash seems to be.

I think it's obvious since their are going to be G/S remakes... The first Frontier took place in Kanto and their were R/G remakes.
 
Id like to see somethin new for James not gym challenges. Although its hard tothink what

Not really in a sense that he's obsessed w/ his criminal activities. He would steal pokemon if he was a breeder or battling gyms(steal gym leader's pokemon)

I think he loves his pokemon alot and needs to do something but I doubt that the writers would give him something meaningful.

Well James is good at collecting rare bottle caps. But how can writers insert some kind of competition based on that? If they could manage such a thing then James has a future otherwise he is just like a stale companion not good at anything else.
