OK, these are the first impressions people got when
they first started watching Poke'mon (or being a Rocketshipper)
You know, weird stuff like mine:
Kojiro
The first Poke'mon I saw was Bye Bye Butterfree, but
I started being a Rocketshipper when I first saw the show Holy Matrimony.
I didn't know Jessie and James' names until the episode Holy Matrimony,
And I actually thought they were brother and sister for two days, then my
brothers discarded that theory and I concluded they must be married.
Then I came to realize they weren't married, they just look perfect together.
(A little War Story there, I was a really dumb beginner Poke'mon trainer.)
Here are some from others:
KayBay:
Well a friend dragged me to the tv to make me watch this 'really
stupid anime show with a dude who looks like a girl and has a gay
voice!' Well, *I* could tell he was a he, but I didn't think much of
the Rockets until I started the online stuff and saw the previews for
the St. Anne episodes and realized what a KAWAII couple they would
make! Umm.. there's my beginning, and James is NOT gay. ^_^
I forgot to mention that when I was looking at the stuff online my
friend and I freaked for several days when coming across every single
slightly shippy picture we could find... even James just looking in
the direction of Jessie and stuff like that. I'm a rocketshipper to
the heart, ^_^
Mr.Kojiro:
I first started watching the show the first day it came out. I
thought it was really stupid, but my friend talked me into watching
it again! So i started watching it, daily, and i started to get
abssesed. Then i saw the saint anne ep and i realized something, o my
god! They're perfecto for eachother! So i kept watching it and I
became more of a rocketshipper everyday. it's strange how these
things start, eh?
MusashiGal:
ok when i first watched pokemon i'm like "whoaaa, look at that girl's
hair! That's soo cool!" and I'm like "Wowww, that guy's cute! *drool*
but he sounds so gay! " and i was a bit annoyed at the motto.. i was
like "what the heck does that mean? that makes no sense at all it is
so stupid!" heehee.
KojiroRocketGirl:
I remember. It was my brithday. I wanted a Gameboy, and I thought I
would give Pokemon a try for my first cart. So I played it, and loved
it. I wanted to see the show, so i started watching it. Pretty soon,
I was hooked. Then one day, I woke up and decided Team Rocket was
cool, and I researched about them. Which pretty much brings me to
where I am today.
KojiroLover:
I heard about an anime that made kids spaz out in Japan. And then I heard it was coming to the US, and my friend suggested I check it
out. Well, I did, and I immediately fell in love. It was when the
"Sisters of Cerulean City" was first shown. My friend and I were
quickly dubbed the weird Pikachu twins. ^-_-
Quickly, we fell in love with Team Rocket- there was just something
about them...the rose...anyway, we thought James was gay. Then we saw
the "Ghost at Maiden's Peak" episode, and were like, "he's not gay,
but deffinitely bi."
Personally, I never thought of them as a couple until I began to
analyze the shows...and the rest is history. ^-^
Latisha:
Well, I first saw Pokemon on the fourth day they showed it. It was
the Samerai episode, the one when Metapod turns into Butterfree! The
part I saw was two green cocoon-like things....battling each other?!
Then two people carrying a Tank through the forest with a cat riding
on top of it. At first I though Team Rocket was annoying, but later
on, I liked them and try to find webpages of Team Rocket So here I
am!
JessJimMondo15:
Well, First, it was the game. all about the game. then the show. The
St Anne was the one i watched. Thats when i liked Ash(I could go back
in time and spit on myself!)Around The time I got the Cable Modem and
my new browser, thats when i started to accept Team Rocket.Then my
comp broke down. I had to wait and i was stuck with AOL. then around
when the new eps rolled around, i started hating Ash. He was always
saying "Team Rocket!" Bye Bye Butterfree" and other stuff. I felt
sorry for Team Rocket. every ep Ash tore me up.Then i got my Browser
back up!I tried to find TR headquarters. I went and found other
places like Double Trouble,Salon Rocket,and other stuff.When I read
the fics on those, That is when I turned a Rocket Shipper.when I
found the link to TRHQ,thats is when I found out it has been updated!
Then I joind the MB.Then I found all these Rocket Shippers friend. I
was also suprised to find Frogwoman,JessieRocket,And other people.
And, the rest is history.
Meowth_Rocket:
Anyway, Stacy (who convinced me to like ONE Pokemon..Meowth!) somehow
talked me into dragging myself up early in the morning to watch an
episode (I am NOT a morning person). That episode I saw was Showdown
in Pewter City...funny, that episode has the least TR in it than any
other episode, except the first. But I missed the begining, so I only
saw the end where they popped out of the hole. I remember saying to
myself "Oh, there's Meowth!" and then "And there are two punk girls
with him!"
Silly me - punks.
I became a rocketshipper when I saw Holy Matrimony, where me and
Sarah were chanting "KISS KISS KISS KISS!" at the end. Then I read
the very first fanfic I ever read... James Bond 000 - and that's when
it happened!
Jessie:
I'd been hearing a lot about this cute little electric pokemon,
Pikachu! It was before the TV show even came out in the US, me and my good
friend Dave were team-batteling 2 annoying little brats, Ben & Holly.
Suddenly, Dave lost, got up and grabed a near-by flower, pulled me up and
shouted, "We are TEAM ROCKET!!!"
Fearing he may need counceling, I took the flower from him (Wich was a
wildflower, not a rose) and asked him what he was talking about. He made me
watch pokemon, and I agreed, we are Team Rocket! We later went back, with
our motto, and a rose, and defeated the puny challengers that defeated us
before. We are currently in the process of dyeing Dave's hair blue.
We are not big, J&J get married fans, as I see the whole thig as
rediculous, and the thought never even crossed my mind until I read some
stupid fan fic. I also really hate the rumors about James, and if I could
ever find out who started them, they would feel the rath of my mallet!
I would just like to end by saying, unlike a lot of these prievious
people, I never liked Ash! I was always a Rocket fan, and I hope, one day,
they eventualy get pikachu, and he goes on to become the star player in
Giavonni's gym, he deserves to be a star more then he deserves to be Ash's
*To quote Surge, and Gessel* "Pet".
