Favorite Team Rocket motto
 
Out of the three main Team Rocket mottos, which one is your favorite?

Original motto:
Spoiler:
Jessie: Prepare for trouble...
James: ...and make it double!
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!
James: To unite all peoples within our nation!
Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James!
Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now or prepare to fight!
Meowth: Meowth, that's right!


Battle Frontier motto:
Spoiler:
Jessie: Prepare for trouble from beyond the skies!
James: From beyond the stars, a nasty surprise!
Jessie: An evil as old as the galaxy...
James: ...sent here to fulfill our destiny!
Meowth: Plus, there's me!
Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James!
Meowth: And Meowth's the name!
Jessie: Anywhere there's peace in the universe...
James: ...Team Rocket...
Meowth: ...will be there...
All: ...to make everything worse!


Sinnoh motto:
Spoiler:
Jessie: Listen, is that a voice I hear?
James: It's speaking to me loud and clear.
Jessie: On the wind!
James: Past the stars!
Meowth: In your ear!
Jessie: Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace!
James: Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!
Jessie: A rose by any other name is just as sweet...
James: When everything's worse, our work is complete!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James!
Meowth: And Meowth, now that's a name.
Jessie: Putting the do-gooders in their place!
James: We're Team Rocket!
All: IN YOUR FACE!


I'm guessing that most people will prefer the original, but I don't like it because the lyrics don't make sense. If they're supposed to be the bad guys, why do they go on about protecting the world from devastation? I personally think that their Sinnoh motto is the best one because of the "IN YOUR FACE!" at the end.

In an older episode, Butch and Cassidy said that Team Rocket's (first) motto was wrong. Yes, the newest one makes the most sense. However, I found it to be funnier when Ash, Misty, Brock, and Duplica dressed up like Team Rocket and said their speech than when Ash, Dawn, and Brock said it. I still like the new one though, even though I like the old voices better than the newer ones.

I'm going to be in a minority, but I prefer the new one. I just love the BGM for it so much, I wish they would release it. It's refreshing to have a completely new tune after so long. Anyway, I was sick of the old one, even when they did update the music for it at the start of Hoenn. After the Sinnoh theme, I like the Battle Frontier theme since Meowth seems less neglected in that one compared to the first. Meowth's line is just kind of stuck onto the end of the first one :/

Nothing beats the old motto, we've all heard it so many times and I was really disappointed when they replaced it. I guess they had to since it's been used so much, but it is apart of what makes them Team Rocket. Old motto will always stick with me.

DonRoyale August 14th, 2009 11:06 AM

The original was way too cheesy and made almost no sense. Plus, we had to hear it for well over half the entire series-300+ episodes-which made it get real old, real fast. :|

The new one is the best. Has EASILY the best BGM of the three, makes the most sense, and is the most fun to go along to. The problem is, it's the most difficult to twist without sounding stupid. (Most of the time they try and throw the episode theme into the motto, it sounds downright moronic)

Charizard★ August 14th, 2009 1:31 PM

The original will always be the best :3

.hack August 14th, 2009 1:34 PM

The original is the only good motto they'veever had, the rest suck :/

ReyRey-Pyon August 14th, 2009 1:35 PM

First one im most used to
and has nostalgia points and all
but i agree, it makes no sense, that they're bad guys, rambling on about protecting the world from devastation x3

I like the sinnoh one best <u>

Blue_Drifblim August 14th, 2009 1:42 PM

My favorite is definitely their Sinnoh motto. I love how it sounds. It's just so... I don't know. My least favorite is their Hoenn/Battle Frontier one.

The original is in between IMO.

Wings Don't Cry August 14th, 2009 2:21 PM

I like the original one, the other ones were too long.

Tox August 14th, 2009 2:32 PM

You can't beat the original.

Sydian August 14th, 2009 2:37 PM

I cried when it got changed. Forever nostalgic, the original takes my vote.

Greene1516 August 14th, 2009 2:49 PM

The original, that new one wrecks my head!

SilverStilletto August 14th, 2009 2:52 PM

first is the greatest... plus its closest to my favorite. (the ones when they get bored, so they sing it instead)

Gligar09 August 14th, 2009 9:33 PM

I like their first motto the best, then the Hoenn motto.

Cloche August 14th, 2009 9:44 PM

When I was very young, I had a rabid crush on James.... I wanted to marry him.... so, the first Motto will always stick with me... but I LOVED the song they sang in the episode where everyoen is trying to catch Jigglypuff, spawning the lineage of Jigglypuff and the Marker. XD (The Team Rocket's Rockin song would have been an EPIC motto. XD )

Sinnoh is second, Hoenn is third

The first motto sucked so badly
I think they got better and better with the mottos, I love the newest one the most. It rhymes well

Frozen King Prawns August 15th, 2009 1:24 PM

You're all missing one.

What about that early one when they did the song? EPICEST SONG EVAR.

Logiedan August 15th, 2009 1:38 PM

I chose Sinnoh. It's not my favourite but i'm use to hearing it for some reason. When I was young I though the Original Motto was very annoying..I never heard the battle frontier motto
at all.

silverdreams92 August 15th, 2009 1:56 PM

The old one. I`m not a fan of Sinnoh, and I never heard them say their Battle Frontier Motto. Besides, the original is as big a part of my childhood as the rest of the show is.

Weatherman, Kiyoshi August 15th, 2009 3:00 PM

the frist two were good,

but the new one kinda goes into some of the cheesy-ness the show has developed.
but whatever.
Team Rocket is still amazing.

Witch August 15th, 2009 5:20 PM

The old motto for sure. It'll always be the best.

I 100% agree! The old one is pretty boring but they did get better and better as time went on. I absolutely love the Sinnoh one! As you said, it rhymes really well! Plus it's really catchy ^^

Captain Hobo. August 16th, 2009 12:49 PM

I guess i would say the Sinnoh motto.

Jeikobu August 16th, 2009 5:02 PM

Normally I'd go for the original, but I prefer the omission of the line about love and truth having evils, which they absolutely do not, so I choose Battle Frontier.
