Pokémon is a pretty funny show, I reckon. Given that, there are lots of great quotes that I just have to share with you all. ^_^.

Bill: That cruise ship, SS Anne, is in VERMILLION CITY. Its passengers are all trainers! They invited me to their party, but I can't stand fancy do's. Why don't you go instead of me?

Juggler?: I heard rumors of a child prodigy!...
*after loss*
The rumours were true!.... You beat Giovanni of Team Rocket?

Brock: I'll never find another girl like her!
Ash: Don't worry Brock, you'll find plenty of other girls to reject you.

James: Maybe I just wasn't meant to be happy.
Jessie: Only spoiled little brats like you can afford to waste time thinking that way! Haven't you ever heard of positive thinking?

Jessie: I'm all for positive thinking, but Meowth seems to be stretching the concept a little too far.

Misty: That's all we need, another Ash.

James: *whimpers
Jessie: Dimwit! IF you're the master, don't act like you're scared of it!
James: I am scared!

Ash: I just don't understand it. My Butterfree's great. Why would any other Butterfree reject it?... Butterfree, maybe you just have to show off your strength, and let the others see how great you are. Show how powerful your tackle is! Or how you can use stun spore!
Misty: That's right, Butterfree! You've got to be assertive! Love is all about attacking your opponent first! Get in a quick punch and surprise them, and while they're still weak, take the lead and you'll beat 'em hands down! Trust me, I know. That's the best way to win!

Misty: You big baby!
Brock: That's enough, guys. You two don't want to stand here and insult each other like this.
Ash/Misty: Yes we do!

Ash: It's Team Rocket!... eww, gross, they both kissed me! *makes retching noises*

James: To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James!
Ash (holding up an egg): Is this it?
(We see that Ash-tachi are crawling around on the ground examining all the eggs, completely ignoring the posing Rockets)
Jessie: HEY! You didn't let us finish!

(Team Rocket have stolen an egg and Meowth has become very attached to it and is going to hatch it. James would rather eat it. ^_^. When he sees Meowth taking a bath with the egg...)

Misty: And you call ME chicken! You're a total coward!
Ash: Maybe not a total coward...

Ash: Why'd you have to open your mouth and make the Grimer mad, Misty?!
Misty: I had to open my mouth! I couldn't use my nose!

Jessie: Now the fun begins! With our new secret weapon! Tell them, James!
James: Now that Pikachu is magnetised, our plan is to take this high-powered electromagnet and...
Both: FINALLY CAPTURE PIKACHU!
Meowth: Hey! Who are you talking to? Let's just catch Pikachu!
(We see that Team Rocket are all alone inside a machine. Jessie and James, pulled back to Earth by Meowth's matter-of-fact interruption, quit posing and sit back down.)
Jessie: Why don't you keep your snide remarks to yourself, Meowth.
James: That's right.

(Gary sees Ash at a place where only elite trainers were invited)
Gary: Must just be an unlucky coincidence! Only the best were invited. Like me, Gary from the town of Pallet! The number one trainer! Ash is fourth.
Ash: I'm fourth?... I'm better than that!
Gary: You were the fourth to leave home, but as a trainer... you're dead last!
Ash: Ohhh....
Gary: Now watch as I step up to the plate... and hit a Pokemon grand slam!
Fanclub: Gary! Gary!
Misty: He's very...
Brock: Detestable.
Gary: So, Ash. Have you picked up any good Pokemon?
Ash: Of course I have! You wanna see?
Gary: No thanks, Ash. Only amateurs show off their Pokemon. If I were gonna show something off, it'd be my personal fanclub!
Fanclub: Gary Oak, Gary Oak! He comes through when others choke!
Ash: Are they Pokemon?
Brock (hitting him): Don't be dumb!... so, who are the girls?
Gary: They're just some friends of mine.
Brock: They're nice friends. *to girls* How would you lovely young ladies like to get together with me some time?
Fanclub: Yes, sir. That would be fun.
Brock (disbelieving): Yes 'sir'?
Misty: Brock's over the hill already!
Brock: Okay. So they think I'm an old man. But I don't care. I'm desperate!

James: I'll get rid of those Diglett!
Jessie: Don't forget, James - we're a team!
James: You're right. I almost forgot that!
Jessie/James: And our team is... (they strike a pose) TEAM ROCKET!
Meowth (picking up phone): Hello? Uh, I wonder if it's possible to get traded to a less embarassing team.

Jessie: James, what's the matter, what's wrong?
James: How can we possibly defeat all those Pokemon, when all we've got are...
Jessie: Ekans...
James: And Koffing!

Ash: Ohh, Team Rocket. I forgot about them. Sorry guys, but we're not in the mood for you right now, okay?
Jessie: Tsk tsk tsk. But, we're in a good enough mood for everyone!
James: Yes, and we never even had lunch!

(Team Rocket discuss Fuchsia Gym)
James: Well, I for one am not impressed. It looks like a Japanese restaurant.
Jessie: There are lots of precious poisonous Pokemon in that mansion.
Meowth: Then let's figure a way to bust into this ninja joint, snatch the poison Pokemon and hit the road.
Jessie: Poisonous Pokemon are positively perfect for perfidious people like us!
James: What does that mean?
Jessie: It means beautiful things can be painful!
*Jessie throws him a rose, and it pricks him* James: Oww, that hurt!

James (whining): Jessie! It's too hard to move in these costumes!
Jessie: A ninja mansion calls for a Kabuki star. We have to wear these outfits.
James: Yes, but -
Meowth: If you can't move, we'll lose the Pokemon!
Jessie: You're right. Let's change.
