Viridian City
  • Blocking the way, on guard duty
JAMES: "What're you doing here, twerp? Shoo! Go pester someone else!"
JESSIE: "What do you want? You can't pass through here right now! We're on guard duty! It's very important!"
MEOWTH: "Mrowr!"
  • If talked to again
JESSIE: "How many times do I have to tell you? You can't pass through here right now! Don't children like you have errands to run or something?"
JAMES: "I know it's our mission to keep watch here, but it's so boring! I wish we could go kill time in the Poké Mart or something..."
Mt. Moon
  • Upon entering
JESSIE: "Looks like there's nothing here..."
JAMES: "Then let's just search farther in!"
JESSIE: "You! You were eavesdropping on us just now, weren't you!"
JAMES: "Meowth! You were supposed to be keeping watch!"
MEOWTH: "Mrawr!"
JESSIE: "We know there're rare Fossils buried around here somewhere! If you've got any, you'd better hand them over to us, twerp!"
JAMES: "That's right! If anyone is going to profit off those rare Fossils, it's going to be us!"
JESSIE & JAMES: "Wahahaha!"
  • 1F, encountering Jessie by herself
"Ugh! You're pretty fast, kid!"
  • 1F, encountering James by himself
"Yikes! Quit following us!"
  • B1F, trying to harvest Fossils
JESSIE: "Aren't those dark-colored things Fossils?"
JAMES: "All right, Meowth! Go get those Fossils!"
MEOWTH: "Mrowr?!"
  • If spoken to
JESSIE: "Quit goofing around and go already!"
JAMES: "You can do it, Meowth!"
MEOWTH: "Mrowr!"
  • Before battle
???: "Stop right there!"
JESSIE: "Hands off! That Fossil belongs to us!"
JAMES: "Rrrggghhh! How did you even get here ahead of us?!"
JESSIE: "We're Team Rocket! I'm Jessie!"
JAMES: "And I'm James!"
JESSIE: "And the two of us are going to take that Fossil back!"
  • If the player only has one Pokémon
JESSIE: "Hey, twerp, you can't battle the both of us with just one Pokémon! You'd better go get another and come back to take us on!"
  • Being defeated
JESSIE: "I can't believe it!"
JAMES: "A twerp beat us?"
  • After being defeated
JESSIE & JAMES: "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off!"
Lavender Town
JESSIE: "We came all the way to Lavender Town on the boss's orders, but... Where in the world is this old man Fuji supposed to be?"
JAMES: "The only place left is that spooky old Pokémon Tower, right?"
JESSIE: "That's right... We couldn't get to the top because of that strange ghost getting in the way."
JAMES: "Well, we couldn't find that old man, but at least we found this Cubone! Let's get it back to our hideout. At least we'll have something to show for our trouble."
JESSIE: "Right! Let's head to the Rocket Game Corner in Celadon City!"
JESSIE: "Aww, does the wittle Cubone want its mommy? Your mommy's in Celadon City. Come with us. We'll take you there."
JESSIE & JAMES: "Now that that's decided, I think we'd better blast off!"
Rocket Game Corner
  • Using the slot machines
JESSIE: "There! Come on! Almost got it... Aaah, so close!"
JAMES: "C'mon, Jessie, why don't we head to the hideout now?"
JESSIE: "Oh come on, we've already handed over the Cubone to another Team Rocket member. What's the harm in taking a little break? How were we supposed to open the hidden entrance to the hideout, anyway?"
JAMES: "We just need to check the poster with a vehicle on it, remember? It's a poster with a vehicle that's the best way to represent us!"
  • If talked to
JESSIE: "What do you mean? What kind of vehicle is the best way to represent us?"
JAMES: "You know, those things that blast off into space?"
MEOWTH: "Mrowr."
Team Rocket Hideout
JESSIE: "Did you hear something just now?"
JAMES: "I did! There was definitely a noise! Could it be...an intruder?!"
MEOWTH: "Grrrrrr!"
JAMES: "...Never mind. It must've just been Meowth's hungry tummy."
JESSIE: "Don't get me all worried over nothing!"
  • If further listened to conversation
JESSIE: "The boss's Persian is so elegant..."
JAMES: "And that Fake Out move it uses! It always makes an opponent flinch in battle! It's strong AND cool..."
JESSIE: "Oh, did I tell you the news? My Ekans! It evolved!"
JAMES: "Oh! Congratulations, Jessie! You know, my Koffing evolved into Weezing, too!"
JESSIE: "You know that Admin named Archer? He uses this Golbat, and it flapped past me in the hall the other day... Oooh, it gave me the creeps!"
JAMES: "Archer has a Weezing, too, doesn't he? I wouldn't have thought that he and I would have the same tastes..."
JESSIE: "Guard duty sure is dull, isn't it...?"
JAMES: "Sure is dull, yeah..."
  • Before battle
JESSIE: "You... You're that twerp from Mt. Moon! Just how long are you gonna follow us around? I know I'm beautiful, but what do you want?"
To Rescue Cubone: "What?! That Cubone? Ha! We already gave the poor thing to the boss!"
To join Team Rocket: "What? Really?! You certainly do show potential. Though you're not nearly as beautiful as me... Wait a minute-you're trying to trick me!"
JESSIE: "It doesn't matter! There's no way we're letting you through to see the boss!"
JAMES: "It's payback time for those Fossils from Mt. Moon, you brat!"
  • If the player only has one Pokémon
JESSIE: "Hey, twerp, you can't battle the both of us with just one Pokémon! You'd better go get another and come back to take us on!"
  • Being defeated
JESSIE: "Such a dreadful twerp!"
JAMES: "But I was so confident this time!"
  • After being defeated
JESSIE: "Hmph! How infuriating! Don't let it go to your head just because your Pokémon were a teeny tiny bit stronger!"
JAMES: "Exactly! And even if you did defeat us in battle, we're still bigger and stronger than you! We'll just use brute force to-"
JAMES: "Eeek!"
JESSIE & JAMES: "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
Pokémon Tower
JESSIE: "Stop right there! We'll be going first!"
JAMES: "With that specter out of the way, we can finally get to the top!"
JESSIE: "You're the old geezer they call Mr. Fuji, right? You're going to be repeating your Pokémon research for the glory of Team Rocket!"
JAMES: "Ignore us all you like-we're used to it! We won't take no for an answer. You'll help the boss, whether you want to or not!"
  • Before battle
JESSIE: "Gramps here thinks he can resist, so we're setting him straight!"
JAMES: "You'd better disappear, twerp, or be prepared to fight!"
  • If the player only has one Pokémon
JESSIE: "Hey, twerp, you can't battle the both of us with just one Pokémon! You'd better go get another and come back to take us on!"
  • Being defeated
JESSIE: "What do you want?"
JAMES: "You'll regret this!"
  • After being defeated
JESSIE: "Ugh! Seriously? Again?"
JAMES: "Looks like Operation Stealthily Kidnap Fuji is a bust, then..."
"Don't you think I know that? It'll be fine—we just have to help out with the take-over of Silph Co. in Saffron City."
JESSIE & JAMES: "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
Route 19
JESSIE: "We'd heard there were loads of rare Pokémon in that GO Park place, so we came to check it out for ourselves..."
JAMES: "But it was so complicated. App this and connectivity that... It was so creepy, we had to get out of there."
MEOWTH: "Mrowr..."
JESSIE: "Why can't I just trip over a get-rich-quick scheme already?"
JESSIE: "Hm? Feels like I just kicked something really hard."
JESSIE: "Could it be some kind of treasure? At last, our big score! Let's see what it is!"
JESSIE & JAMES: "Heave-ho!"
JESSIE: "Wow! Just look at that shine! This must be some amazing treasure! ...As if! Yuck! What are these? Some kind of Gold Teeth?"
JAMES: "T-teeth? No matter how gold they are, some things just aren't worth the effort..."
JESSIE: "Ah, it's the twerp! What're you doing here? Never mind that-take these off our hands!"
JAMES: "We're busy, so you take care of whatever those are for us!"
JESSIE: "That's right! Now's the time for our fantastic getaway!"
Saffron City
  • Trying to get in to Silph Co.
JESSIE: "Just let us through already!"
JAMES: "How can you say that when we're on the same side?!"
JESSIE: "How rude! You'd deny a beautiful girl what she wants? Move it, already!"
JAMES: "Hey! Jessie! Wait for me!"
Silph Co.
  • Before battle
???: "Hold it right there, twerp!"
JAMES: "Our boss is in a meeting! You better not disturb him!"
  • If the player only has one Pokémon
JESSIE: "Hey, twerp, you can't battle the both of us with just one Pokémon! You'd better go get another and come back to take us on!"
  • Being defeated
JESSIE: "As always..."
JAMES: "Argh! I hate kids!"
  • After being defeated
JAMES: "Just like always..."
JESSIE & JAMES: "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
Route 17
  • Before battle
JAMES: "The boss is missing... Ahh... What's going to happen to Team Rocket?"
JESSIE: "Argh! Don't be such a wimp! This is the boss we're talking about! He's hiding himself for now, but he must be preparing for the next scheme!"
JAMES: "...Yeah, of course! Then let's steal Pokémon all over the world to help the boss!"
MEOWTH: "...Mrawr!"
JAMES: "Ah! It's that annoying twerp again!"
JESSIE: "Why are you eavesdropping on us?"
JAMES: "Those who are in Team Rocket's way won't get away unscathed!"
  • If the player only has one Pokémon
JESSIE: "Hey, twerp, you can't battle the both of us with just one Pokémon! You'd better go get another and come back to take us on!"
  • Being defeated
JESSIE: "How did it end up like this?"
JAMES: "It's not fair that you always win!"
  • After being defeated
JESSIE: "You're just a twerp. Why are you so strong? ...Is it because of that PikachuP/EeveeE? You can probably go all out because you're with that Pokémon."
JAMES: "With that PikachuP/EeveeE, we may be able to conquer the world! Hey, do you want to join Team Rocket?"
Regardless if the player answers No way! or Well...: "OK. Fine. Humph, we're enemies after all! But if you do change your mind, come back anytime. I'll give you this. I made it myself."
JESSIE: "... What's this? Why do I feel so refreshed? You've been such a troublesome little twerp, and yet..."
JAMES: "It's great to have times like this for a change once in a while, isn't it?"
JESSIE: "You might be right."
JESSIE & JAMES: "We feel great!"
MEOWTH: "Meow, meow!"

James: "To extend our reach to the stars above!"
Prebattle screen
  • Jessie:
"Hey, do you want to join Team Rocket?"
"The Boss's Persian is so elegant..."
"Who are these Team GO Rocket Leaders, anyway?"
  • James:
"Hey, would you like to join Team Rocket?"
"You'll regret this!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
Upon victory
  • Jessie:
"Looks like I've just denounced the evils of truth and love!"
"Can't wait for the Boss to hear about this!"
"Team GO Rocket's first take-over would've been much more successful if only we'd been invited!"
  • James:
"Looks like our reach has extended to the stars above!"
"I hope the Boss will be proud of me!"
"If only the Boss had sent us here the first time around!"
Upon being defeated
  • Jessie:
"You're just a Twerp. Why are you so strong?"
"Hmph! How infuriating! Don't let it go to your head just because your Pokémon were a teeny-tiny bit stronger!"
"We're blasting off again!"'
"I only lost because I'm using these borrowed Pokémon! You're no match for Team Rocket!"
  • James:
"We got beat by a Twerp?!"
"But I was so confident this time!"
"Even if you did defeat us in battle, we're still bigger and stronger than you!"'
"We're blasting off again!"
"Argh! I despise Twerps!"
"I should have known I couldn't win with borrowed Pokémon..."

Distracted by Something Shiny

  • 1/4
Jessie: "Hey, James, did you hear?"
James: "What is it, Jessie?"
Jessie: "Apparently, there's a mysterious Pokémon in a jungle nearby!"
James: "Go on!"
Jessie: "They say it's called the Protector of the Jungle or something like that."
James: "Oh? That sounds like the kind of Pokémon the Boss would be happy to see!"
Jessie: "It's going to be a pain, though, since we don't really know the area."
James: "Hmmm, maybe we can con someone into helping us!"
Jessie: "Yeah... Huh? Hey, you! You must be an assistant the Boss sent! Yeah, why else would someone be out here in the middle of nowhere?"
James: "Assistant? Oh! Of course! An assistant! The Boss has high expectations for us, after all. Now that you're here, let's get to work."
  • 2/4
Jessie: "Nice work, kid! I can't believe you actually did it!"
James: "Yeah! It feels nice to have somebody to boss around— I mean, uh, somebody to help us out! Jessie and I are constantly on our feet, you know."
Jessie: "As you can imagine, it's hard for us to maintain our good looks when we're always running around like this. Anyway, you did your bit, so I guess we can let you take a little break."
James: "Superb idea, Jessie! It's important to change up the pace every once in a while!"
James: "Go on and spend some time with your buddy."
  • 3/4
Jessie: "I'm so glad the Boss sent along someone so useful to help us!"
James: "Now that you mention it, you haven't told us anything about yourself. Where are you normally stationed? How long have you been with Team Rocket? Oh, what's your favorite thing about the Boss? Do tell!"
Jessie: "..."
James: "Hey, why so quiet all of a sudden?"
James: "Jessie, who actually told you that we'd be getting an assistant?"
Jessie: "Nobody told ME anything!"
James: "Well, no one told me, either!"
Jessie: "But you're the one who said they were sent by the Boss!"
James: "I said no such thing!"
James: "... ... ..."
James: "Hey, who exactly are you?"
James: "... ... ..."
Jessie: "You'd better start talking."
Jessie: "Aha! I knew you were just a no-good Twerp! This whole thing was suspicious from the start! Did someone send you to get in our way?! Yeah, that must be it!"
James: "I trusted you! I thought you were one of us!"
Jessie: "You know too much! We can't let you go! Let's get 'em, James!"
James: "Don't you dare get in our way! You'll regret it if you do!"
Jessie: "Don't you know who we are?! Well, let us formally introduce ourselves!"
Jessie: "Prepare for trouble..."
James: "And make it double!"
Jessie: "To protect the world from devastation!"
James: "To unite all people— HEY! Are you even listening?!"
  • 4/4
Jessie: "I can't believe we were defeated by a Twerp like you!"
James: "That was totally unexpected. What will the Boss say...?"
James: "Huh?!"
Jessie: "Hey, behind you! Isn't that Celebi? Could it be the so-called Protector of the Jungle?!"
James: "Drat! That Pokémon was supposed to be ours!"
Jessie: "Mark our words..."
James: "We'll get you next time!"
Jessie: "We're blasting off again!"

  • After tapping the ground near the Beauty
"That's right, eat up! That'll save us the trouble of having to dig pitfall traps!"

"My Arbok is my pride and joy!"

"Plus, look at the patterns on his stomach! Aren't they just adorable?"
  • Random conversation
"You know, watching you gets me thinking..."

"Uh... W-wouldn't you like to know! But I'll never tell."
  • Random conversation
"Are you going out to train? Then let Arbok and I come. We could use some practice."
"Not to mention, we'll need to make your partner Pokémon nice and strong for when we hand it over to the boss..."
"Hah, you thought I was serious! We would never do that to you!"
"Anyway, don't you want to become stronger? Come on, let's go train!"

"Why don't you patrol that area waaay over there? We're counting on you!"

"That's right. You'd better keep a close eye on your Pokémon, or else bad guys like us might try to steal it!"
