JAMES FAN CLUB!!! MUST JOIN!!! *grabs James* I love the rose...

 

[Witch]

I'll join. James is so cool/funny/cute/ect. ^^

 

[SailorShadow]

He's hilarious. I wish he'd get his rose back. I loved it xD. And he needs to mention the bottle cap collection more often.

 

[Witch]

And he needs to mention the bottle cap collection more often.

Actually, I think he's prolly sold it all by now ^^;;

 

[SailorShadow]

If he sold it all by now, then wouldn't Team Rocket have enough money to buy food?

 

[Arshiki]

Welcome, SailorShadow and Ambellina. Both of your names have been added :)

I wish he'd get his rose back. I loved it xD

He still has the rose. It just does not appear as often as it did in the old school episodes.

If he sold it all by now, then wouldn't Team Rocket have enough money to buy food?

They would. By the way, when was the last time James' bottle cap collection was brought up? The beginning of Sinnoh, right?

Now, since we have a few members, lets start our first topic.

Topic: Of all James' Pokemon, which is your favorite? It can be one he had in the past or one he currently has.

Mine is Chimecho. It was an adorable creature with the power to make people feel happy through its Heal Bell. I also liked its relationship with James. They shared a close bond and it was clear that James cared a lot for Chimecho. I will never forgive the anime's writers for replacing good old Chimey with Mime Jr.

 

[Witch]

Weezing was pretty cool. It's a shame that it isn't around in the new seasons anymore. & What about James' growlithe? Anyone remember that ep?

 

[SailorShadow]

I loved his Chimecho and his Growlithe. I didn't like it when they replaced Chimecho with Mime Jr either. But I loved it when he had Growlithe.

 

[Arshiki]

Growlie was indeed awesome. I would have liked for James to take it with him. Then again, the writers probably would have made it into a joke if that did happen. Just look at what they did to Seviper.

True... At least Growlie is safe from the comic relief the authors would have made him provide.
When was the last time James took out his rose?

 

[Arshiki]

When was the last time James took out his rose?

In the episode Return to the Basics, Team Rocket! (which has yet to air outside of Japan).

Time for a new topic :)

Topic: Of James' voices, which is your favorite?

I like Eric Stuart's voice the best. He made James sound goofy yet cultured and suave at the same time. I think his voice fit James' personality perfectly. Furthermore, he (in my opinion) sounded quite sexy. Hearing his James makes me melt.

Miki Shin'ichirō's voice is also great. He does a good job in fluctuating between making Kojirou sound goofy to making him sound deep and smooth.

Ted Lewis' voice was okay, though it is far from being my favorite. He made James sound cold and calculating. Considering that James was supposed to be a serious villain during the show's first fourteen episodes, his voice fit him well then. However, if he had continued to do James' voice, he would not have been able to fit his character, since James (along with Jessie and Meowth) became a comic relief villain in episode fifteen. I am glad that Eric took over doing James in episode fifteen. If Lewis had continued, James would have had a voice that did not fit his personality.

Jimmi Zoppi's James makes me furious. I think Zoppi completely ruined James' character in the dub. He makes James sound like an unintelligent person with a bad nose cold >_>

 

[SailorShadow]

I don't like Zoppi's voice for him either. Stuart was my favorite.

 

[Blayze]

Gah! How did I miss this!? I'm a HUGE James fan, but you guys already know that. ^_^
May I join, pretty please?

 

[Arshiki]

Of course you may, Blayze. In fact, I was wondering when you were going to join. Welcome to the club :)

Just so you guys know, I will soon be deciding on our club's co-owner. I will send a PM to whoever I decide will be the co-owner on Thursday. Of course, whoever I decide is free to decline being the co-owner if he or she wants. If that is the case, I will pick someone else.

Some James pictures:

*drools*

 

[Blayze]

Thanks, Arshiki! Apparently I'm a little slow! >_< :D
I love the pictures. Here's a few from my collection:

Yes, I like when he's got the rose! :embarrass :D

 

[SailorShadow]

*squeals in delight and drools over James pictures* He's so cute!

 

[Arshiki]

Great pictures, Blayze. I like the one in which he is wearing a waiter's outfit (I would love for him to serve me while wearing it) and the one in which he is sniffing his rose the most. He looks good in all of the pictures, but looks really sexy in those two.

*squeals in delight and drools over James pictures* He's so cute!

Cute and hot :D I love him so much <3

Here is a picture of James from Toshihiro Ono's Pokemon manga:

I think he looks better in the anime, but he is still very handsome in the manga.

*squeals in delight and drools over James pictures* He's so cute!

:D Aye, that he is.

Tee hee. Yeah me too...


Of James' voices, which is your favorite?
I'm gonna have to say I like Eric Stuart best. His voice suits James better than the others.


More pictures :D
I found all of these doing an image search, I'm not sure who did the fan-art one.

Yeah Jessie's in it too, I'm too lazy to edit the picture. ;)

 

[SailorShadow]

More James! *more drool* I'd find pics, but I'm too lazy at the moment xP.
