In 2011, the Pokémon series was building up to an arc in which Giovanni faces off against rival organization Team Plasma, but the episodes were cancelled following the Great East Japan Earthquake. Jessie and James repeatedly crossdress and are considered heavily queercoded. They are not ideologically aligned with Giovanni and therefore frequently find themselves siding with the series' protagonists. The Team Rocket characters have sympathetic backstories and share a strong camaraderie. Later on, Team Rocket became known for their large number of mecha and gadgets. Most notably, they travel in a Meowth-shaped hot air balloon throughout the show, and use a Gyarados-shaped submarine in its early seasons. As the Pokémon series evolved, the Team Rocket trio uses an increasingly large number of vehicles and mecha. Jessie and James have an Arbok and a Weezing as their signature Pokémon, respectively. The characters are presented as simple-minded, bringing slapstick antics to the series. Introduced in episode 2, Jessie, James, and Meowth work directly for Giovanni and are tasked to steal the most powerful Pokémon. Team Rocket's Meowth is unusual within the Pokémon canon, as he is the only Pokémon creature able to speak the human language, whereas all other Pokémon in the series only utter syllables of their own names. In the earliest produced episodes of the anime, the trio was halfway intelligent and at times were very formidable foes, however by episode 20, the three would be reduced to mainly being comic relief. The three were the primary antagonists of early seasons of the series, where each episode they attempt to kidnap the protagonist's Pikachu. In the long-running Pokémon anime series, a trio of Team Rocket grunts Jessie ( ムサシ, Musashi ), James ( コジロウ, Kojirō), and Meowth ( ニャース, Nyarth) are major secondary characters.
