Those who grew up with the world of Pokémon surely know Jessie and James. The two delinquents from Team Rocket have now also landed in Pokémon GO and it is very well received.
This has happened: Currently, Team Rocket dominates Pokémon GO. On Thursday evening, the most famous duo of the evil organization appeared for the first time: Jessie and James.
This is very well received, as the villains have often been wished for by players. After all, they are almost as well known as Ash and his Pikachu. They also played a role in the console games. Now, 4 years after the release of Pokémon GO, they are now appearing in the mobile hit.
Team Rocket Experiences New Popularity
This is how Jessie and James are doing: The hype around their release was huge. After all, they often annoyed our great childhood heroes and probably had one or the other score to settle with the delinquents.
Now you can finally defeat the enemies of your childhood and give Jessie and James the famous “blast off”.
The user ProbablyADitto writes on reddit about the release: “This is exactly the kind of fun the game needs more of.” and thus probably hits the nerve of many players.
This is what makes Jessie and James so special: Niantic has brought the two delinquents into the game with a lot of attention to detail. For example, they greet you with the well-known words “Now there’s trouble and it’s getting even tougher!”
In addition, you can only find Jessie and James if you see the Meowth hot air balloon. In this balloon, Jessie and James were always traveling. The balloon looks like Meowth because they always had a talking Meowth with them. This is currently still missing in Pokémon GO, but it may come in a later update.
Who are Jessie and James? They belong to Team Rocket, an evil organization that wants to steal Pokémon and take over the world.
In the anime, Jessie and James were primarily after Ash’s Pikachu. With crazy robots and ideas, they tried to catch Pikachu. However, this always went wrong, and Ash and Pikachu gave them the “blast off,” sending them flying through the air.
They also appeared in the console games, and we had to defeat and drive them away there as well.
Now you can do all of this in Pokémon GO as well. The battle here is quite easy if you have the right Pokémon with you. In our counter guide to Jessie and James, we show you the best ways to defeat them.
