No. 052: Meowth

RIP Madeleine Blaustein.

Anyway, anime Meowth is much more interesting than game Meowth. Anime Meowth is the smartest member of team rocket, often coming up with their devious, if shallow, schemes. Actually, seeing as how they never work, maybe Meowth isn't as smart as we think. Huh.

Also, remember that episode where Meowth reveals his tragic past? That almost made me cry. He taught himself to speak English, out of love for another Meowth, but she didn't even want him! And he joined team rocket to change the world, because any other world must be better than the cruel world that rejected him! What a tragic figure.

However, that is like never brought up again. If Meowth gradually became more and more sympathetic, eventually transfering to the good guy side, then that would've been something. As it is, he just kinda kept on saying "Dat's right!"

Also, he is the cat in pokemon. He is an ugly cat. What the heck, Japan. Usually you never pass up a chance for a cute cat, but here you went ahead and did it.

I guess Meowth is just a lot of missed opportunities. Or should I say, oppurrtunities.

I hate myself for that.

Overall: 6/10

  1. The Japanese voice of anime Meowth is godawful, it's fucking unlistenable I swear. Whereas the dub voice is awesome. Can't be the same dude.
