alright i’m making a masterpost because i’m so tired. these never get notes. please give this one notes. i’m going to run through every single parroted argument. i’m going to run through every thought anyone engaged in this discourse has ever had. please give me notes. not because i want clout, i’m just so tired. so many of my posts get notes. i would trade them all for this post to get notes.
How old are Team Rocket?
25. They’re 25.
But I thought they were teenagers? Lots of people have told me they’re 15/16.
so i’ve heard! i’m pleased to tell you exactly where that comes from.
1. this post, for some reason:
i have been on tumblr for 10 years now, and i never saw anyone debating their ages before this post started circulating. as you can tell by the low res memebase screencap, it was screenshotted and reposted all across social media until it became legend.
the ages you see in this bulbapedia screencap were edited. bulbapedia has either omitted their ages entirely, or put them at 25 for reasons we’ll discuss at the end of this post.
because i’m a petty bitch, i googled the tumblr username of the person who added that bulbapedia screencap, found what their current URL was, and searched team rocket’s names on their blog. here’s what i discovered.
OP claims it wasn’t them who edited the ages–that they just found it like this. NOT sure i buy that, because I looked into it, and right around the time this post was made (January 8th, 2014) there was a random, unprecedented edit that erroneously put their ages at 15.
this resulted in mods locking the page, because this person was relentless. they would go on team rocket’s pages every day and try to edit the ages back down. again, i can’t prove this is the same person, but these edits happened within 24 hours of them adding to that post. this is, in my professional opinion, the biggest shift i ever saw in people talking about team rocket’s ages. but there are other things people bring up…
2. “Jessie said she was a teenager!”
she does this sometimes. here are the times she does this.
- In episode 218 of the original series, Plant It Now… Diglett Later, the following exchange happens:
This would make Jessie 12. This is a joke. A running gag in the show is younger characters calling Jessie variations on ‘old lady/old bat/old hag,’ and James gets this treatment to a lesser extent. Jessie, however, is incredibly vain and obsessed with youth/beauty, so she often lies to great extent about her age. When Jessie says something like “Oh, I’m 13 years old ;3c” it is meant to carry the same feeling as “Aren’t I the most gorgeous creature walking this very Earth?” To Jessie, calling her old = calling her ugly. Calling herself young = calling herself beautiful. This trope is common with her particular anime archetype–it is more of a Japanese thing, so while I understand it being lost on american audiences, it is NOT proof of her age.
Right after this, Meowth calls her out on it, asking her where she learned that math, and Jessie angrily threatens him. It’s a joke.
- In episode 56 of the original series, The Ultimate Test, Jessie is in disguise at a Pokemon League qualification exam. When Ash starts giving her the ‘she looks vaguely familiar’ side-eye, she panics and starts muttering information about herself aloud. I will be using the original Japanese line for this one:
This is quoted constantly as proof that Jessie is a teenager–but she is blatantly stating false information about herself here because she’s in disguise and Ash is onto her. This is a false identity she’s crafted, marked even further by “I work as an idol.” That’s an actual profession she’s talking about, one she doesn’t work. Since Japanese Idols weren’t widely unknown to westerners at the time of this dub, her dub line is simply “Age: 17. Profession: Diva.” which makes it a little harder to read that she’s lying about who she is, but she is. The information she’s stating here is that of an alias. It is not her actual age or profession.
3. You literally just posted a screencap of James saying he should get a driver’s license.
Okay, smart guy, that’s also jokes. The joke isn’t that he’s too young to drive–the joke is that he was a runaway at five years old and had his childhood & all his milestones taken from him because he defected from his abusive family in kindergarten. Also, he’s in the mafia and he just drives his damn balloon everywhere. The joke is that he’s a criminal driving without a license. The joke is breaking the law because he’s James. Its the same as when Jessie will casually say things like “Oh, that’s a good book! I’ve been meaning to shoplift one!” (EP157)
Also, it’s a dub-only line.
“Okay, I guess I see where you’re coming from. But why are you so sure they’re 25?”
Glad you asked!
You might notice the Bulbapedia article up there says “as of M02.″ M02 is the fandom shorthand for the second pokemon movie: Pokemon the Movie: 2000. It’s referring to one scene in particular, one that had its dialogue massively changed in the dub. Here, Jessie and James are addressing Ash & co.:
The subber condensed the point of what James/Kojirou actually says here–his sentence when translated literally is more like:
Jessie: You’re ten years too early.
James: And us, your elders, are five years too late.
this is… a very Japanese expression, but because Ash & co. are 10 years old, Jessie’s basically saying “You really don’t need to be thinking this deeply about romance until you’re 20.” and James is saying “And we’re past our prime at the tender age of 25…”
Some other times this expression has been used, regrettably, is when older men are perving on the female kids in this show–they’ll say things like “I’ll look forward to you in ten years.” Gross, I know, but the point is it’s a thing people say. 20 is considered the age you’re supposed to settle down and marry. 25, especially for women, is considered the age when you’re “off the market”–you missed your window and now no one wants you.
That ties back into Jessie’s thing about youth and beauty and how other characters call her an old lady. What they’re calling her originally is usually some variation on ‘oba-san.’ This term is so widely used in anime that there’s a TVTropes page on it. An english equivalent would be rolling your eyes and sarcastically uttering ‘whatever, grandma’ or, if you really want me to one-shot kill you, ‘ok boomer.’
Another derogatory term you hear in Japan for this age is ‘Christmas Cake.’ Simply put: Delicious to a point, but no one wants it after the 25th.
Yeah.
“That line is still super vague. Their ages could still be ambiguous.”
I regret to inform you that I am very autistic and I have prepared timelines and flowcharts for you.
Allow me to introduce you to The Birth of Mewtwo, an audio drama that released alongside the first movie and was never given an english localization. TBOM (the book of mormon) was about Mewtwo’s Origins that weren’t expanded upon in the movie. But, in order to get to the bottom of Mewtwo, the story had to get to the bottom of how Team Rocket got their hands on Mew’s DNA–and that all started with a Class-A Rocket Agent known simply as ‘Miyamoto.’
if you didn’t know, she’s Jessie’s mom.
TBOM is fully translated and available to listen to in multiple parts on youtube. It opens with Giovanni placing it in the timeline:
Twenty years prior to Pokemon: The First Movie, when this radio drama is said to take place. It then goes into a flashback, where we get to see Jessie’s mom in her pursuit of Mew.
Jessie’s already been born by the time of this flashback, meaning, with 100% certainty, that Jessie is at least 20 years old.
As time passes, Miyamoto stays on her quest to find Mew. Lost in the Andes mountains, she never stops sending reports back to Rocket HQ. Every few years, they trickle back in, detailing her progress. She keeps a picture of Jessie with her, often meandering aloud about what she anticipates Jessie is doing–the milestones Jessie is hitting, the life Jessie might have that her mom was never able to see. The last report she gives says “The daughter I left behind’s an old hag by now…” the word she uses here is, again, ‘oba’–25 years old and unmarried. Again, this is Jessie’s mom. She might be stranded in the mountains with little concept of time, but it’s clear Jessie is the one thing she never truly loses sight of.
“Okay. That sure is a lot of convincing evidence about Jessie. But Team Rocket has another human person in it you’re ignoring.”
Yeah nah I was prepared for that. I actually could’ve just whipped this out at the beginning but I am feeling incredibly spicy so I wanted to lay the law down and not deal with easy arguments about my special interest tonight. Here ya go!
- In episode 87 of the Sun & Moon anime, Filling the Light With Darkness!, Necrozma places an aura across the Alola Region. This blight makes Alolans lethargic, depressed, and unmotivated. This aura also ONLY affects the adults in Alola–leaving the burden on the kids & pokemon to figure out what’s going on. Ash & everyone in his class–including some who can be argued as teenagers–are entirely unaffected.
Of the afflicted?
“Alright, one last question…why should I care?”
Because ever since that tumblr post started circulating, it’s been Stressful as all hell to be a Rocketblogger. I know that we all had a lot of fun watching the pokemon anime when we were kids, and we probably all have a lot of shared and fond memories of it. But, weirdly enough, because of that shared joy… Pokeani is the only fandom where people who don’t even watch the show anymore will try to explain to members of the fandom what our own lore is. And a lot of the time, they won’t listen to us when we correct them on their misinformation.
The reason this matters is because Rocketbloggers still to this day get called pedophiles & perverts for drawing/writing smutty art of our funny bad people. And when we try to shut them down pulling all this evidence out, people who have seen a handful of episodes of the show but understandably don’t have the time to watch 1100 episodes will pull the doth protest too much card. It’s annoying but more than anything, it’s exhausting.
So this is a masterpost I made with my autistic superpowers. I hope that, in the future, this one gets spread around more than the one claiming them to be kids. And I hope that maybe, if you’re a rocketblogger, when someone comes in your inbox trying to explain your favourite anime to you… you can quietly link them to this post and no longer have to rehash all the arguments we’ve been rehashing for years.
Thank you for reading. Reblog to save a tired Rocketblogger’s life.
Reblog to take a slice
Like, I know we just discussed this, but I hadn’t heard all the details and they are just so much:
Twitter chief executive Elon Musk rallied a team of roughly 80 engineers to reconfigure the platform’s algorithm so his tweets would be more widely viewed, tech news site Platformer has reported.
A disgruntled Musk called for an emergency effort after a tweet he sent during Sunday’s Super Bowl game failed to achieve as much engagement as a tweet from Joe Biden, interviews and internal documents reviewed by Platformer have revealed.
The effort was sparked when a tweet from the president, who has 37m followers, generated nearly 29m impressions while a similar tweet from Musk – who has 128m followers – generated little more than 9.1m impressions.
A Twitter employee and cousin of Elon Musk, James Musk, posted urgently in the company Slack at 2.30am the following Monday morning, asking all employees who can code to participate. “Any people who can make dashboards and write software please can you help solve this problem,” he wrote. “This is high urgency.”
Bonus: “Musk seemed to publicly confirm the move, in his own way, posting a meme about forcing followers to read his tweets” [I just saw it, it’s extravagantly misogynistic and gross in a way I should have expected and yet did not].
From Reddit: “Musk kept showing up in my feed, so I also blocked him. That fucker unblocked himself and started showing up in my feed again. This happened twice.”
I saw a discussion on—also Reddit, maybe? About how there needs to be a non-body-shaming phrase for “small dick energy,” and I feel like Elon Musk Energy would be a strong contender.
Happy first birthday Knife-Wielding Tentacle..👍
It seems that the staff is actually going to go forward with their decision to remove reblog chains, where reblogs will basically work like regular comments on other websites.
This doesn't just make the site completely unusable, it removes the soul of the community that has managed to build up here over the years, and that I'm so happy to have recently joined.
It makes impossible the creation of great posts where many people build up a single thing, until it is a gem of expressed human creativity.
There will be no more world heritage posts, no more messing around with your mutuals, no posts worth remembering.
There will be no more Tumblr, and the Tikblr or TumbTube or whatever monstrosity is born from its corpse will soon die, as is probably the best. And then there will never be another place like this on the internet, no place anymore to run to, no more fun, no more community.
I recommend a simple course of action. When these changes get imposed upon us, stop using Tumblr. Get your mutuals' discords, your favourite artists' websites, and leave. If the Tumblr we have once known returns, we well too. If not, better let it die quickly than suffer a long and painful decline.
I beg you to reblog this, for the more people see it, the higher chanses are for this to work.
And add something, so we can show them what Tumblr is really for.
Hi, sorry to send you a message all of a sudden. Please help to vote for KAITO.
https://suki-kira.com/people/result/KAITO%20(VOCALOID)/
KAITO has been a member of the top three for a long time, and its popularity is very high.
But recently because of some incidents, there have been many malicious smears. These people deliberately cast hate votes, and they also made many remarks that smeared KAITO and slandered fans. (Nearly 1,000 hate votes have been added in a short period of time recently. The data is very abnormal compared to before. Anyone who sees it will know that there are a group of people doing damage)
These malicious saboteurs are trying to destroy KAITO image and want him to be hated. At the same time, many personal attacks are carried out on all fans who like KAITO, trying to label all those who like KAITO as mob and so on. Don't take it lightly just because you see a lot of likes now. Vandals are adding hate votes every day, and if left alone, KAITO will drop out of high rankings. At that time, these people will extend more reasons for smearing through this matter.
In order to prevent these people from accomplishing their malicious intentions, we ask everyone who likes KAITO to vote together. Overseas people on this website cannot leave messages (the system will delete them soon). Apart from this, I hope everyone will not respond to those malicious comments. There's no point in wasting energy arguing with these people and will instead give others the impression that the place has a bad vibe. Some people are deliberately trying to cause an argument, please don't be fooled, ignoring them is the best way to deal with it. As long as the likes (percentage) overwhelmingly outweigh the dislikes, it is the best counterattack.
This is a permanent voting project with no time limit. Everyone (per device) can vote once a day. (Updated 24 hours after voting) Does not require any account login behavior. It only takes a few seconds a day, please help increase the number of likes. [Favorite option is red, don't click wrong]
Please spread the word to more people who like KAITO. (Private publicity is recommended. Although we want to publicize it publicly, there is a possibility of increasing the number of disruptors, so it is not recommended to publicize it. If you have other promotion methods that can get more good results, please promote as much as possible. ) Every little thing everyone does a little bit will eventually gather together into a powerful force. thanks for your help.
I have no words, but it's truly despicable. The fact that there would be people who would do this is just sad. I don't understand the hate on KAITO and fans of his, it's just so sickening. I hope everyone is doing alright 🙏🙏🙏

making this post bc look here
THEY SHOULD RELEASE STUFF TO THE US AND THE REST OF THE WORLD ITS SO UNDERRATED GRRRRRRR THEY ARE SO BAD AT MARKETING TO DIFF PLACES!!
Since they are so stinky poopoo at presenting their thing, listen to me, the chaotic ND kid who has a crazy amount of knowledge on it bc it's my special interest+I kinda grew up with it!!
OK SO DORAEMON IS AN EXTREMELY SUPER RLLY RLLY RLLY GOOD ANIME/MANGA MADE BY FUJIKO F FUJIO (Hiroshi Fujimoto) AND FUJIKO A FUIJO (Motoo Abiko)! (the concept was made by Fujiko F Fuijo, A helped produce it) It's about a robot cat from the year 2112 named Doraemon and he's sent back to the 21st century (or 20th century depending on when the episode was made bc this series has been going on since 1969) by Nobita's great great grandson, Sewashi to help Nobita bc he's extremely unlucky and bullied!! (me personally, I extremely headcanon he has inattentive ADHD bc he displays every trait but thts a rant for another time) Doraemon has a pocket on his belly tht is called the 4D POCKET!!!!! It has tons of gadgets tht help them when they're in trouble or they're bored or whatever!! EEEE THIS SERIES IS SO DANG COOOOOL!!! Also, it has a 1979 and 2005 version!! The 2005 version got a dub made by Bang Zoom! and was aired on Disney XD from 2014-2016!
OK SO THE GENRE AND RATING (this plus The Doraemons) ARE:
Scifi/Adventure/Comedy PG-13
Ok next thing in the Doraemon series, is
The Doraemons is about Doraemon's backstory and his friends from Robot School! This is a spinoff manga/anime and it's about their adventures and how insanely powerful their friendship is! If you think this is gonna be some stupid baby show bc its abt the power of friendship, you're rlly wrong! It's more action-y and stuff! It consists of several short movies and it's a manga! (not all of it is eng subbed and same goes for Doraemon's main series, but ofc Doraemon's more complete)
Ok so they are:
Doraemon
Dorarhino
Wang Dora
El Matadora
Doranichov
Dora The Kid
Dora-med lll
(I color coded the text to tell u who they are ^w^)
NEXT THING IN THE DORAEMON FRANCHISE ISSSS
SO Dorabase is a baseball fan-made spinoff of Doraemon!! (I think it's canon) I've only gotten into it just recently so I dont know the most abt it but u can read about it on tv tropes!!
Ok now you're hopefully thinking, "DANG THIS IS SO COOOOL imma reblog it and post it everywhere!!! How do I watch/read it?"
If you are in Japan and India, I think Doraemon is on Netflix for u! I can only speak for an 🏈🇺🇸🦅AMERICAN🦅🇺🇸🏈 and english-speaking pov tho.
Worldwide, Stand By Me Doraemon 1 and 2 is on Netflix. BUT that is all Netflix USA has.
So here is how American and english speaking ppl can access it. (btw EVERYONE can access this, it's just the only way the US can)
OK SO this has Dorabase, Doraemon, Doraemon Long Stories, and The Doraemons manga!!! I'm not 100% sure if it's all complete but it is ALOT of manga!!!! Also this has other manga that Fujiko F Fujio made, such as Chinpui! I think they also have stuff tht Fujiko A Fujio made! (They tend to be quite dark and black comedy, except Ninja Hattori! My fav manga he made is The Laughing Salesman!)
This site has Doraemon episodes and movies! (including the Disney XD dub) Not all sadly but most!!! :DDD
I made a playlist that has all completed and good engsubs of The Doraemons!!!! There is another special called "The World of Ace's Christmas Special" but sadly it's only subbed in Chinese.
SO I TOLD U ALL IK ABT THE OVERVIEW AND WHATS ITS ABOUT RIGHT? But not sm as to why u should watch it, why I like it, and how I was introduced!
I think u should watch it because it's like SUPER COOL! It's about scifi and the future and all tht! It's also teaches morals and whatnot. And also, like One Piece the genre goes around in movies and some episodes while staying pretty into sci-fi, adventure, and comedy! It's very imaginative and creative and yeah! Basically, it has smth in it for everyone!
I LIKE IT because of what I said right there! It ties alot into what I think is cool and what I wanna be when I grow up! I wanna be an astronaut and traveling space is one of the things I wanna do! Doraemon talks abt alot of stuff about future technology, time travel, space travel, etc. It's also been actually influencing that IRL!! For example, in 2021,a new dinosaur species in China was named Eubrontes Nobitai!! They named the species after Nobita (also called Noby).
I was introduced when I went over to my cousin's house in 2014 (I was 7 then) and they had recorded Doraemon on their DVR bc it had premiered on Disney XD and they thought I'd like it! (I did, alot) After it stopped airing, the show was just in the back of my head until COVID hit and I was like "hey that robot cat did exist" during virtual school and I was hooked!
So yeah, that's all abt Doraemon! It's extremely popular in Japan, India, and Italy but it deserves sm more popularity and recognition and love than it gets. Sm ppl have put in hard work (especially the authors) and yeah! ALSO please do check out the other things Fujiko F and Fujiko A made!!
Me and my mutuals rebloging the same post
I KIND OF JUST REALIZED THAT JESSIE FROM TEAM ROCKET FORMS A FUCKING R WITH HER HAIR AND BODY
WHY DID IT TAKE ME OVER 10 YEARS TO REALIZE THIS
