'''Team Rocket's Mottos''' are a running gag of the [[Pokémon Anime]]. [[Jessie]], [[James]] and [[Team Rocket's Meowth|Meowth]] of [[Team Rocket]], using it to introduce themselves. Mottos have their unique music and animation. There have also been several variations of the motto, depending on the situation. In the XY series, Jessie usually says something after "Prepare for trouble" and James usually says something after "Make it double", all the while, making both sentences rhyme.
In almost every season or region, Team Rocket has a '''motto''' - either Cassidy and Butch, or Jessie and James, or the two groups jumbled up. Sometimes Ash and his friends imitate Jessie, James, and Meowth's mottos.

This is first motto, that completely different from original, used from Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl to [[Pokémon: DP Sinnoh League Victors]].
  +
====English====
  +
{{Lyrics|'''Jessie''': Listen, is that a voice I hear?

[[File:BWMotto.jpg|thumb]]

  +
{{Lyrics|'''Jessie''': Again is the question so twerpish indeed!

  +
===Alola Motto===
<p style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">'''Jessie:''' To denounce the evils of truth and love!</p>
 
  +
This is the third motto that is completely different from the original. The first lines of Jessie and James can be altered. In some cases, Meowth's line can be altered as well.
   
  +
For instance, when the trio fended off [[Guzzlord (anime)|Guzzlord]] from [[Bewear (anime)|Bewear]] and [[Stufful (anime)|Stufful]], rather than "Did someone ask something? We're here to find out!", Jessie said "The roar of the Ultra Beast, the call of the wild!". Rather than "Noble answers are what we're all about!", James said "This is no time for the weak and the mild!". {{Lyrics|'''Jessie''': Did someone ask something? We're here to find out!
<p style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">'''James:''' To extend our reach to the stars above!</p>
 
  +
'''James''': Noble answers are what we're all about!
  +
'''Jessie''': The beauty so radiant the flowers and moon hide in shame, A single flower of evil in this fleeting world, Jessie!
  +
'''James''': The nobly heroic man of our times, The Master of Darkness fighting back against the tragic world, It's James!
  +
'''Meowth''': It's all for one and one for all, A glittering dark star that always shines bright, Dig it, While Meowth takes flight!
  +
'''Jessie and James''': Team Rocket, Let's fight!
  +
'''Meowth''': That's right!
  +
'''Wobbuffet''': Wobbuffet!}}
   
  +
==Butch and Cassidy Motto==
<p style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">'''Jessie:''' Jessie!</p>
 
  +
Butch and Cassidy had their own motto which they insist is the correct version. The Sinnoh Motto however, was used only when Jessie, James, and Meowth crossed their paths.
   
  +
===Kanto Motto===
<p style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">'''James:''' James!</p>
 
  +
{{Lyrics|Cassidy: Prepare for trouble...
  +

  +
Butch: To blight all people in every nation!
  +
Cassidy: To denounce the goodness of truth and love!
  +
Butch: To extend our wrath to the stars above!
  +
Cassidy: Cassidy!

Butch: And Butch, of course!

=='''Summary'''==
 
There are even more Team Rocket mottos, that have only been said in one episode - because they tend to change it, or have failed. Also, they usually have 'copied phrases', when a 'good person' asks a question; and if one of their team members are not at presence, on of the trio fills in for that person (e.g Jessie has a cold, then James fills her line...).

SMMotto

Team Rocket's Mottos are a running gag of the Pokémon Anime. Jessie, James and Meowth of Team Rocket, using it to introduce themselves. Mottos have their unique music and animation. There have also been several variations of the motto, depending on the situation. In the XY series, Jessie usually says something after "Prepare for trouble" and James usually says something after "Make it double", all the while, making both sentences rhyme.

Jessie, James and Meowth

Kanto Motto

OSMotto

It was original version of motto, used from Pokémon: Indigo League to Pokémon: Battle Frontier and from Pokémon: BW Adventures in Unova and Beyond to Pokémon the Series: XYZ. It was also used in DP092 and SM042, making it the only motto used in every series.

English

James: To extend our reach to the stars above! Jessie: Jessie! James: James! Jessie: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light! James: Surrender now or prepare to fight! Meowth: Meowth! That's right! ♪

It also can be altered for situation. Later, when Jessie's Wobbuffet joined the team, he adds his name in the end. After The Pokémon Company International took over the dubbing, "To unite all peoples within our nation!" was changed to "To unite the people within our nation!".

Hoenn Motto

AGMotto

This motto is a modified version of original, used from Pokémon: Battle Frontier to Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl.

English

Jessie: Prepare for trouble from the skies... James: ...From beyond the stars a nasty surprise! Jessie: An evil as old as 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: ...To make anything worse! Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet! ♪

They've also replaced first lines with "Prepare for trouble! Make it double!". Sometimes James' Chimecho and Mime Jr. added their names in the end.

Sinnoh Motto

DPMotto

This is first motto, that completely different from original, used from Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl to Pokémon: DP Sinnoh League Victors.

English

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: 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... Jessie, James, and Meowth: ...and we’re in your face! Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet! ♪

Sometimes they replaced first lines. As in previous motto, Mime Jr. says his name after Wobbuffet.

Unova Motto

BWMotto

It's first motto, that is almost unrhymed, used from Pokémon: Black & White to Pokémon: BW Rival Destinies.

English

Jessie: Again is the question so twerpish indeed! James: The answer to come as we feel the need! Jessie: Bringing the blinding, white light of evil into the future! James: Thrusting the hammer of justice down onto the black darkness of the universe! Meowth: And carving our names into the rock of eternity! Jessie: The fiery destroyer: I'm Jessie! James: And with thunderous emotion, I'm James! Meowth: Wisest of the wise, I'm Meowth! Jessie, James, and Meowth: Now gather, under the name of Team Rocket! ♪

Alola Motto

This is the third motto that is completely different from the original. The first lines of Jessie and James can be altered. In some cases, Meowth's line can be altered as well.

For instance, when the trio fended off Guzzlord from Bewear and Stufful, rather than "Did someone ask something? We're here to find out!", Jessie said "The roar of the Ultra Beast, the call of the wild!". Rather than "Noble answers are what we're all about!", James said "This is no time for the weak and the mild!".

Jessie: Did someone ask something? We're here to find out! James: Noble answers are what we're all about! Jessie: The beauty so radiant the flowers and moon hide in shame, A single flower of evil in this fleeting world, Jessie! James: The nobly heroic man of our times, The Master of Darkness fighting back against the tragic world, It's James! Meowth: It's all for one and one for all, A glittering dark star that always shines bright, Dig it, While Meowth takes flight! Jessie and James: Team Rocket, Let's fight! Meowth: That's right! Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet! ♪

Butch and Cassidy Motto

Butch and Cassidy had their own motto which they insist is the correct version. The Sinnoh Motto however, was used only when Jessie, James, and Meowth crossed their paths.

Kanto Motto

♪ Cassidy: Prepare for trouble... Butch: ...and make it double! Both: Here's our mission, so you better listen! Cassidy: To infect the world with devastation! Butch: To blight all people in every nation! Cassidy: To denounce the goodness of truth and love! Butch: To extend our wrath to the stars above! Cassidy: Cassidy! Butch: And Butch, of course! Cassidy: We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and night. Butch: Surrender to us now or you will surely lose the fight! ♪

Sinnoh Motto

♪ Cassidy: A shrieking whine! A blast from the past! Butch: Spinning like a Gyro Ball and moving fast! Cassidy: To the moon... Butch: ...And beyond... Both: ...What a blast! Cassidy: Administering justice with lightning speed! Butch: Bashing the bad guys, should we feel the need. Cassidy: So here's a newsflash from across the wire... Butch: The real Team Rocket is now on fire! Cassidy: Cassidy! Butch: And it's Butch! Shuckle: Shuck-uckle! Cassidy: Teaching the losers a thing or two... Butch: ...The true Team Rocket... Both: Us! Not you! ♪
