Several times James keeps mentioning about his family's mansion or something...
Based on the anime, do we know anything about his family? or maybe even Jesse's?

[Viktoriya1998]

In 1 episode he goes to his family's house to drop off his chimeco.I can't remember alot but I think you see his auntie and uncle or his mum and dad there.

[Lester Burnham]

He goes to another house (a beach house of some sort) and finds his Carnivine there...so assumedly he's rich.

And Jessie...all we know is that she's rivals with Cassidy and wanted a collection of Pokedolls.

Back in Indigo, James' family was first introduced and didn't know he was working for team rocket. He was part of an aranged marriage with a girl called Jessabelle and had a pet Growlythe at the house.

[keweli]

So if he was rich, why are team rocket always bankrupt and starving?

[Tiamat]

Because unless James gets married to Jessiebelle, his parents won't give him any of the family's money. Simple, really.

Necroposting... oh well.

I like the first James' family episode. They faked their deaths so James would come home, so they could try to get him to marry Jessebelle, who of course looked a lot like Jessie. She has a Vileplume, which is kind of analogous to the Victreebel James eventually gets too.

But James did not like his rich family much, so he ran away, met Jessie in the Pokémon Academy where they both went to school at for a while, ditched there together, joined the Bike Gang (James has training wheels! hehe) and then they split up for a while until they are assigned each other partners for Team Rocket.

Oh thanks for the info dude,
just curious how do you know this? Can you point me to an episode maybe where it tells us about this?

Edited: Jessebelle looks like Jessie, not James, lol.

Well, the whole Jessebelle part would be in the first season episode Holy Matrimony, and Jessie and James' Bike Gang past is explained in the episode The Bike Bridge Gang. I'm not sure which episode states the Pokémon Academy that they both went to, but if you search around (tsr.com and pokemopolis.net are both great sites for Season One Team Rocket canon) you can find that. I'm pretty sure that they were assigned partners out of the blue, as the head executives didn't know of their past together. I'm pretty sure Meowth was Giovanni's old pet Pokémon before Persian, and it was assigned to our delinquent duo after he got Persian, but don't quote me on that.

hmm...
All I rememeber is a flashback to his childhood where we found out he was fond of
... or was it ?

I dunno, but that's the last I rememeber anything about his family.
It has something to do with a girl, I don't know.

[keweli]

I've seen like 50% of season 1, all of season 2,3,4.

I heard Jesse and James stop becoming bad guys later on. Do you still see them in the late seasons?
If not, what was the ending for them?

Jesse and James are still villians, I think, but it seems like they do their own thing for the most part. That's one of the things I like about them. They're pretty much out for themselves most of the time, but they'll do good if they feel like it or if it suits their needs. They're not really bound to anything.
