Wow, now this was a good episode! In this episode, James, Jessie and Meowth are once again blasting off and they suddenly remember the times on how they became a team. Man, I soooooooooooo cannot believe that Jessie had lost TEN partners during her training and that proves what? That she was good!!!! That she was capable as a Team Rocket member. Then, she gets James as her partner and it was like wow, they are soooooooo meant to be partners! Like where James is sooooo capable like Jessie and how he promised not to let her down, and how James let Meowth eat his provisions(bread and water). Meowth in this episode was a PIG, as he ate A LOT of food in this episode. The scenes where Jessie was clutching onto James hands was like wow, the movies where the hero would not let go of the character or something like that. In the end, Jessie, James and Meowth finally became Team Rocket members in the end! However, now in the present, they suck at their job!! Ha ha! This episode is good to watch and I would recommend it to everyone then!

Final rating: 8.0 to 8.5

Amazing! The past of the Team Rocket, how it started.

Jesse was an incredible girl with the only problem that she didn't know how to work in a team, then James arrives and works with her. For a challenge Giovanni sends Meowth with the other two, in the journey the friendship between the three grow up; after that James goes to help Jesse and Meowth, even if he's hurt and they almost completed the final exam but they win the title of criminals anyway.

All the adventures that they have show that they are true friends, it almost makes the fans cry. The best TV characters aren't they?moreless

Jessie and James forever!

That was the best Team Rocket episode ever! If I wasn't a rocketshipper before I definitely am now. I still hate Kassidy and Butch, but SAY BUTCH'S NAME! And it's sad that Giovanni always had Persian and never liked Meowth. Meowth is so cute! Jessie and James were so cool.

How they came to be...

I really loved this episode. In this episode we see Jessie, James, Meowth, Butch, and Cassidy and their days as Team Rocket trainees. We see how they came to be and how they became the teams they are today. It was ironic to see that Jessie and James were actually good at being thieves in the past, but now they are very bad at it. This episode really shows us how Jessie and James were before they became silly characters that we know and love. Overall, this is a great episode. It shows us how Team Rocket formed and how they came to be great friends. It may not contain any battles, but it is still a good episode.moreless

Mission: Pokemon Impossible...

9.0

By RaijinPaladinix, Aug 20, 2006

Now this was an episode of Chronicles to permanently mark. It wasn't an adventure, it was informative, we learned the origin of Jessie, James, and Meowth forming as a group and how they competed against Butch and Cassidy to be the agent squad. The tasks they did were pretty wicked, even though they couldn't do them now, they're too lazy. If Jessie can jump rooftops, why couldn't she in "Latios & Latias"? But this episode was cool, Team Rocket had teamwork, and if you look at it in a certain way, they still do. They might hate each other guts every time Pikachu volts them, but they're a team.moreless

TRIVIA (8)
ADD TRIVIA
- This episode shows how Team Rocket came together
  EDIT SHARE
- The mission to see who would become agents was to see who could capture the red Snorlax.
  EDIT SHARE
- Before she was partnered with James, we learn that Jessie had lost ten partners in her trainings.
  EDIT SHARE
- Giovanni had Persian prior to Meowth's arrival. Yet in the first season Pokemon episode Battle Aboard the St. Anne, Meowth was incredibly shocked to see Giovanni petting a Persian beside him.
  EDIT SHARE
- The part where Jessie and James met doesn't make sense as they knew each other before they joined Team Rocket. They attempted to enter the Pokemon Tech School together and were once part of a bike gang
  EDIT SHARE
- In the Pokémon episode The Breeding Center Secret, James did not know who Cassidy was, yet in this episode James meets Cassidy as well as Butch in training.
  EDIT SHARE
- Apparently, Giovanni has had his Persian, prior to Meowth's joining of Team Rocket. Which would mean that Meowth was never Giovanni's favorite.
  EDIT SHARE
- Cassidy used to get Butch's name wrong at first.

  EDIT SHARE
ALLUSIONS (3)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- In the flashback, Jessie, James and Meowth are each given a pack with water, a loaf of bread and presumably, a tool.
  
  This alludes to the novel and movie Battle Royale where a class of 9th graders are stuck on an island for three days with a day pack with the same contents until only one survives.
  EDIT SHARE
- The demeanor of Jessie and James in this episode was reminiscint of Train, star of popular Shonen Jump manga, Black Cat ,as Train is also portrayed as an antihero.
  EDIT SHARE
- The title"Training Daze",is a parody of award winning movie,"Training Day".
