Are Jesse and James (from Pokemon) named after the outlaw, Jesse James?!
Question: Are Jesse and James (from Pokemon) named after the outlaw, Jesse James!?
It may just be a coincidence but this has been bothering me for a long time after I learned about Jesse James when I went to Meramec Caverns a few years ago!. Since Jesse James was an outlaw I just wondered if Jesse and James - who are bad guys - were named after him!.
So is it a coincidence or not!?

I'm sorry if you never heard of these things (Jesse James and Meramec Caverns) but since I live in Missouri I know about this!. If you do know then that's great!. :DWww@Enter-QA@Com

Interesting question! I googled it and got this:
Jessica, usually Jessie (named Musashi in the Japanese series), is the leader of team rocket!. Her Japanese name is a spin off of Musashi Miyamoto, a famous samurai!. James (Kojiro in the Japanese series), is the more dimwitted male half of the team!. James is named after Kojiro Sasaki, a famous samurai whom Miyamoto killed!.
If one puts the English names "Jessie" and "James", together, he sees that they were named after Jesse James, a famous American outlaw!.
So yes, the english names were suppose to be like that its not a coinsidence! ^!.^
And I guess we were in America wanted to follow the same custom as naming the both of them as famous samuraiWww@Enter-QA@Com

Yes they are named after Jesse James, like their rivals are called Butch and Cassidy as in Butch Cassidy another famous outlaw!. Coincidence i think not =pWww@Enter-QA@Com
That's so observant! The Japanese names were after a samurai and who that samurai killed, so the dubbers could have very well done that with Jesse James!.!.!.!.!.!.xDWww@Enter-QA@Com
