I searched for a similar thread to this that hasn't been posted in over a month, but I didn't find anything, so I'll make this.

Anyway, what's your favorite Team Rocket motto? Personally, I like the Sinnoh version because the original got on my nerves at several points.

To refresh everyone's memories as to what the mottos are, here they are:

Original:
Spoiler:
Jessie: Prepare for trouble!
James: Make it double!
Jessie: To protect the world from devestation!
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:
Spoiler:
Jessie: Prepare for trouble, from 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: And James!
Meowth: And Meowth are the names!
Jessie: Anywhere there's peace in the universe...
James: ...Team Rocket...
Meowth:...will be there...
All 3: to make everything worse!
Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!
Mime Jr. (sometimes): Mime, Mime!


Sinnoh:
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's just as sweet
James: When everything's worse, our work is complete!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: And it's James!
Meowth: And Meowth, now that's a name!
Jessie: Putting the do-gooders in their place...
James: ...we're Team Rocket...
All 3: ...in your face!
Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!
Mime Jr. (sometimes): Mime, Mime!


Note: I won't be including the Best Wishes motto because these are the English versions of the mottos.

The original. I don't like the others...it's just not them! The original motto is a part of my childhood because my friend and I use to pretend we were Team Rocket. Because I was a girl, I couldn't be James, so I made up a fake character named Kate who was James' sister. Awesome. I will never forget that motto.

Unlike everyone else, I like the Sinnoh one better than the original. I like the "On the wind, past the stars, in your ears bit" It was funny when Ash, Brock and Dawn were impersonating the motto in sinnoh (Oh course Ash has done it before with the original too)
There was nothing. Followed by everything. Swirling, burning specks of creation that circled life-giving suns. And then we reached to the light.

We're blasting off again

I picked original, because it was short and snappy, and when I was a child and I heard this I adored it <33

This is one of the few, rare, and freaking extraordinary cases were nostalgia plays a role in my preference. As a kid viewing Team Rocket, I viewed their motto as "them". You know, almost an algebraic equation. Team Rocket just isn't Team Rocket without their motto. The original motto being the first, of course I viewed Team Rocket with just that.

I dunno if I worded myself correctly, but still. The original motto is prevailent for me. The other two are honestly a pain in the fundillo.

Although, the BW motto may gain my respect if the dub sounds good.

Original for sure. Who doesn't love the lines: Prepare for trouble. Make it double. But I just love the song Team Rocket Forever that they sung in The Song Of Jigglypuff and Same Old Song And Dance.

I also love the song Double Trouble.

I'm more used to the original. I don't seem to like the others. I also like it when they add "woooooobuffet!" during the Johto seasons and beyond.
