Meowth in Brawl . I know what some of you are thinking. What an old character, So random , hes old news from the first series, ect. But think about it he has been part of the big and famous team rocket for a long time. He should be in it he was a character a lot of people loved. Don't tell me you guys forgot about him He is one of the best. An origional. A pokemon cat. I mean if pichu got in and gigglypuff why doesn't Meowth a much more popular character get in. He might have a chance.
Jessie, James, and Meowth have had their past histories altered several times over the course of the series.
The first history, outlined during the Kanto series, stated that they visited Pokemon-Tech school, but got the worst grades ever, since they spent the night before their exams celebrating. Afterwards, they joined a bicycle gang (charinko bousouzoku) in Sunnytown. They were popular in this bike gang, earning the names of Chainer Jessie (she swung a chain around while she rode her bike) and Trainer James (he was the only gang member to use training wheels).
In Johto, it was revealed that while Jessie was a teenager, she enrolled in a school to become a Pokémon nurse. Unfortunately, this was literally a school for Pokémon who wanted to be nurses, namely Chansey, not nurses for Pokémon, so she stepped out, but not before making a good friend out of a Chansey. It was also at Johto where it was revealed that Jessie was a weather reporter.
Up until the Hoenn series, it was assumed that Jessie and James joined Team Rocket together. However, an episode of Pokémon Houseōkyoku appeared to change preexisting canon by devoting an entire episode to "The Origin of Love and Youth", also known in the Pokémon Chronicles series as "Training Daze". In this episode, it was implied that Jessie and James joined Team Rocket separately and perhaps had never even met before being paired up. However, Jessie’s initial remark to James is ambiguous, and their instant hostility towards each other could be interpreted as an implication that they had indeed been associates in the past. In addition, Meowth’s role appears to be changed, as his “top cat” role seems to be more akin to that of a subservient valet to Giovanni. In that episode, Giovanni is also shown owning a Persian before Meowth's first meeting with Team Rocket and during his service period with him. Meowth is only assigned to the team of Jessie and James after screwing up orders, which must be quite some time before Giovanni finally acquires his "Persian replacement" in the Kanto series.
In Kanto, it was established that while Jessie and Cassidy had previously known each other, James and Meowth had neither known her nor Butch. In this episode, the two teams competed against each other, meaning James and Meowth would have had to have known the other trio.
What remained intact, for the most part, were the childhood histories of Jessie and James. While Jessie’s poor background is rarely mentioned in the Hoenn series, James’s rich upbringing has been referenced several times. Also, within the first few episodes of the Hoenn series, Jessie made references to having a past in the Hoenn region.
In a Japanese Pokémon drama CD Birth of Mewtwo (Myuutsuu no Tanjo), Musashi (Jessie) grew up in relative poverty compared to James because her mother, Miyamoto (again named after renowned swordsman Miyamoto Mushashi; no English version name), fostered her out[22] so she could focus on missions for Team Rocket given directly to her by its founder, Madame Boss (Giovanni/Sakaki’s mother). It was Miyamoto that discovered evidence that the Legendary Mew may still exist, and she was ordered to seek out the legendary Pokémon Mew and not to return until she succeeds in capturing it. Being Team Rocket’s most loyal top operative at the time, she followed those orders to the letter. However, she never stopped thinking about her beloved daughter. She managed to track Mew to the snowy Andes mountains but it gets away and she is buried in an avalanche. It is implied that the legendary Pokémon Articuno saved her life.
