No. He's just fabulous.

Why would you think that?

>>8128259

You know why.

I AM A FLAMING MOLTRES

>>8128355
WHERE DID HE GOT THAT SUIT?

OP is a James

>>8128368
Therefore OP is fabulous.

Conversely, Jesse crossdressed a lot too, I'd say almost as often as James did. Sometimes they'd look like two girls together, but Jesse usually wore a masculine outfit to compliment James' feminine one.

Why people think James is gay?
We have no proof for him being gay.

In the B/W dub motto, he puts a very strong emphasis on THRUSTING.

I find that amusing.

Exactly. I think some of it's the accent that gets people thinking that, not just the occasional crossdressing.

Please, he goes around with roses everywhere like Tuxedo Mask.

>Implying he and Jesse aren't lovers.

He and Jesse makes all sorts of love. All the time.

Even Electric Tale of Pikachu leaves them happily married with a kid on the way.

>>8128456 (con't)
And even Meowth points out in the second movie after Jesse says, "When you get involved with the opposite sex you're only asking for trouble!", "Youz tooz don't need the opposite sex 'cause you got each other!" To which she banters, "What's THAT supposed to mean?!!" and Meowth just grins widely and laughs.

He's probably straight but full submissive. Jessie must fuck his ass with a giant strap-on every night.

He's not Gay, he's fabulous. James is probably the best character in the show.

Jesse and James got married in the manga.
The manga is (in the creator's own words) the most accurate depiction of the pokemon world.
Thus, James is, in fact, married.
>mfw James has gotten further with a women than [spoilers]you[/spoilers]

>>8128492

Except that was a different manga than the one he was talking about. Oops, don't you feel silly.

>>8128492
hell, i'm not surprised. he's tall and attractive

>>8128507
No, I don't.

The anime still has no idea what the fuck it's talking about.

>>8128533

Just sayin' – neither do you. That comment was in reference to the Pokemon Adventures manga, while Jessie and James got married in Electric Tale of Pikachu.

Come on, get your shit together, Dave.

>>8128543
And he made that comment when Special was still new.

>>8128543
Teach me the ways of the faggot.

>>8128543
Not that guy but was the one who made that first ambiguous manga comment~ dohohoho

I will say that Pokemon Special has much more character development than most characters in the anime, but Jesse, James, and Meowth are fairly developed. What makes watching them great is that they're more ambiguous than true villains - they're clearly not entirely bad people. They've saved Ash & co.'s asses on numerous occasions, for example, and it's easy to empathize with them: Jesse's mom gave her up for adoption and never visited her (little did she know she was dead), James has a true bro in Growlithe and never gets to see him (lest his parents try to stuff Jessebelle into his life), and Meowth suffered long and hard to give up being a normal Meowth for an unrequited love. Jesse and James genuinely care for a number of their pokemon and Meowth especially; they are easily each other's best friend as much as they are teammates. On top of that they're obviously successful business folks on their own. They've set up tons of stands and made buckets of money despite how often they're poor and starving, and could easily get real jobs if they wanted. Geez, Misty and Brock have more to deal with than Ash does, and the most Ash has to deal with is a dick of a rival who eventually deflates his own ego. He doesn't ever seem to bring up the "no dad" thing and comes across as a rather chipper sport rather than Team Rocket who've got problems.

The anime KNOWS how to have ambiguous, conflicted villains (Mewtwo's probably the most famous), it just doesn't always do it often. It has a lot more clear-cut villains than it does characters defined by emotion embedded in motivation. Many of the villains in the anime are driven by simple greed like Giovanni, Lawrence III, or J the Bounty Hunter, and yet at other times you have villains who true to say aren't that much more developed, but have clearer motivations like Dr. Yung and Zero, who want to lash out, get revenge, and be noticed (again, not terribly different from Mewtwo, but he is after all one of the most developed characters in the series). The problem is that it's a kid's show meant to be seen on tv like everyday to everybody, and the writers often don't want to take risks unless they absolutely need a bigger conflict, that of which will only often happen in the movies where characters might actually die (and have died).

>>8128700 (con't)
And then you have Pokemon Special where half the Kanto gym leaders are corrupt and in league with Team Rocket, Lance wants to take over the world, Koga's Arbok gets sliced in half, the Elite Four are nefariously evil, and pretty much there are very few adults to be trusted. Kids have to rely on their wits just so they don't die. Fun stuff!

The problem is...

"Dude, Benson's gonna be PISSED!" - Regular Show

Most adults don't give a flying fuck what their kids are exposed to. I knew what sex was when I was in 4th grade.

>>8128733
I knew what "damn" and "crap" were from watching Hey Arnold and I thought it was awesome at the time. I was also like, 9.

Now what the deal is is that American parents ON A WHOLE go absolutely apeshit about what their kids watch these days. In Japan, they're a little more lenient about that shit. Even then though a lot of stuff would get edited out of manga in the transition to animation. Very often for example, it's cigarettes for dumber shit like lollipops and chewing gum (I'm looking at YOU, YuYu Hakusho and One Piece. Yes there's a huge difference in quality between the two but there's a ton of stuff even in the YuYu Hakusho manga that didn't make it into the anime.)

At least when I was a kid, too, the Disney channel and Nickelodeon used to be SUBSTANTIALLY more awesome because they played loads of stuff they wouldn't think twice about showing today. Nowadays it's all laugh-tracks to horribly colorful live-action shows, and shit-for-brains ADD-centered cartoons. Cartoon Network's been plummeting these recent years, too.

Probably.
He's still easily the best character on the show.

My opinion is that he and Jessie are both gay, but are straight for each other. Because you can't break up those two.

I guess
