Model description :

Team Rocket is a large well-funded criminal organisation that causes trouble in the world of "Pokémon"

(the game, cartoon and marketing phenomemon).

Jessie and James (or Jesse and James if you feel like it, or Musashi and Kojiro if you like it in Japanese) are the somewhat ineffectual members of Team Rocket that serve as the antagonists in the cartoon.

What Jess and Jim lack in luck and ability they make up for in style and determination...

After another spectacular failure to steal the world's Pokémon, Team Rocket blast off again... and find themselves in the Eternal Arenas. Why the Arena Masters felt the need to take them is unclear... well, gotta catch 'em all, I suppose.

This model-pack includes both Jessie and James, with sounds (just the taunts are new, Pokémon isn't good for getting clean samples, without music and the like) and bot support. No Meowth, he's too short to deathmatch.

As well as the default and Red & Blue CTF skins for both models I've also included the black uniform variations used by J&J's rival Rocketeers Butch & Cassidy. B&C have different hairstyles and jewelry in the cartoon, here I've just changed the hair and earrings to the right colours.

Watch out for James' posing-rose that he whips out for his gesture animation.

NOTE: These models use Levels Of Detail (LOD) and are best viewed with "Geometric Detail" set to "High". That way they look good close up.
