The Pokemon Company and Nintendo revealed the next generation ofPokemonwith a trailer forPokemon ScarletandVioletseveral days ago, confirming the three starters and creating a lot of speculation in thePokemoncommunity. OnePokemonfan has imagined the mainPokemon ScarletandViolettrainer as thePokemonanime’s Team Rocket villains Jessie and James depending on what gender a Pokemon player selects.
SincePokemon ScarletandVioletwere unveiled, manyPokemonfans have considered the evolutions of the three starter Pokemon, locations they may explore in a newregion inspired by Spain, and in some cases trying to guess what Pokemon may be part of the Pokedex. Twitter user Stoic_Miiverse recently shared their fan art inspired byPokemon ScarletandVioletin which they imagine the Team Rocket duo of Jessie and James as prominent characters in the Spain-inspired regionalongside the chatty Meowth. In the background of the fan art among the foliage and decorations is a chagrinnedPokemontrainer, who has been confirmed as the main character ofPokemon ScarletandVioletby the reveal trailer.

Dressed very similar to thePokemon ScarletandViolettrainer, Team Rocket’s Meowth is sporting a school uniform with an oversized hat, which seems to be the initial customization for the newPokemontrainer. Unlike the astonished trainer in the background of the fan art, this Meowth has a wide grin as it looks to the side and holds a paw to its face. Although the Jessie and James depicted by Stoic_Miiverse in this fan art share clothing similarities with the aforementionedPokemoncharacter,Pokemon RedandBluefans will see more commonalities with their anime counterparts.
In Stoic_Miiverse’s fan art, Jessie is holding aPoke Ballto her face and seems to be looking at her reflection in it to fix her red hair. The Team Rocket member dons a white button-up shirt and orange tie and a striped orange skirt with blue drawstrings and a pocket facing outward. Just like her crop top in thePokemonanime, Jessie’s shirt and skirt don’t fully connect which leaves a portion of her mid-section exposed to the sunny climate already teased forPokemon ScarletandViolet.
Unlike Jessie in Stoic_Miiverse’sPokemon ScarletandVioletfan art, James is sporting blue shorts with yellow drawstrings and a similarly colored tie bringing the collar of his white dress shirt together. James' clothing covers his stomach like his Team Rocket uniform does but more closely resembles the formal clothing he wore as a child prior to joining Team Rocket. As he does in thePokemonanimeTeam Rocketintros, James is holding a rose in Stoic_Miiverse’s fan art while he tosses a Poke Ball into the air with his other hand.
Because Jessie has scarlet hair and James has violet hair, it’s fitting to see bothPokemonanimecharacters representingPokemon ScarletandViolet. WhilePokemon ScarletandVioletmay include several customization options, it remains to be seen whetherPokemonfans will be able to make their trainers resemble Team Rocket’s Jessie or James. EachPokemonregion introduced focuses on a unique storyline and as a result, new villainous organizations beyond Team Rocket are introduced which may meanPokemon ScarletandVioletplayers won’t encounter Jessie or James in their adventures.
