Team Rocket are the recurring comic villains of the Pokémon anime, which began in Japan in 1997 and reached international audiences soon after. Jessie, James and their talking Meowth work for Giovanni and spend most episodes trying to capture Ash's Pikachu. Their rhyming motto became one of the show's most repeated routines, changing slightly across seasons but keeping its dramatic structure. Online, the clip survives as a shared childhood reference, used in edits, cosplay entrances and memes whenever a group wants a theatrical, overconfident introduction.
