From the Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the Ultimate Rocketshipper page. This is my tribute to Team Rocket -- the REAL stars (and heroes) of Pokemon! Team Twerp is way overrated, if ya ask me!

Now, I like Brock. He's a good trainer, he's funny, and he's relatively nice to Team Rocket. He may not like them, but at least he doesn't make fun of them or attack them in every single episode (like a certain OTHER character! >P) He's too cool to be an actual "twerp." And Misty? Sometimes she's okay, and sometimes she isn't...it depends on the episode. But I hate Tracey, and I REALLY hate Ash. I think Tracey is a coward, and he doesn't serve any real purpose. (Okay, I'll admit I was willing to give Tracey a chance at first, but that ep where he caught Scyther and sicced it on TR really turned me against him! >__<) And I've always hated Ash. He's so idiotic, and his self-righteousness gets extremely annoying. Plus, I don't even think he makes a good hero -- he's arrogant, quick to violence, mean-spirited, and he's not that great a trainer! >P (Sorry to anybody who likes Ash, but that's my opinion on the little jari-booi, and those are just a FEW of the reasons why I don't like him.)

But I absolutely LOVE Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket! I mean, what's NOT to love? They're such cuties, and they're so sweet and funny (especially that sexy James! ^_~) Besides, the team is composed of three things that I admire greatly -- a strong girl, a sensitive guy, and a cat. (I just LOVE cats, and Meowth is one of the best!) Plus, James always carries a rose, which is my favorite flower. Jessie and James are also the most beautiful characters on the show, and I love their jewel-tone colors -- ruby-red, sapphire-blue, emerald-green...they're gorgeous!!! (It was fandom at first sight! *_*)

Another reason I love Team Rocket is because they have such depth. Like all great villains, they're NOT evil -- they just steal all of the scenes that they're in and get all the best lines! (They're so much wittier and funnier...and more interesting than that one-dimensional Ash!)

No fictional characters have ever moved me as much as these three have. I love them because they make me laugh...and cry like no other fictional characters do! I love them because they're the underdogs, and they never seem to catch a break. I love them because Jessie and James make the most beautiful couple. (Want to know a little secret? I used to be the most un-romantic person in the world! I always used to think that romance was just boring, mushy stuff. But the moment I saw Jessie and James, something changed -- I did a complete 180! If that's not proof that they're made for each other then nothing is!) I love them because of their friendship and love for one another. They're all beautiful and wonderful in their own special way, and they make the perfect team!

Anyway, I love these three characters so much that I started writing fanfics about them -- I wanted more than I was getting on the show, and I wanted to give them the victories and happy endings that they deserve. (All of the stories I write have happy endings...and so do the other fics I post here -- I have no tolerance for bad things happening to characters that I truly love when there's no kind of positive outcome!) And that's why I made this web site about them -- so that I could have a place to showcase: my stories, good stories by other Team Rocket fans, our artwork, the beautiful pictures of them that I've collected, and so that I can give them the honor and recognition they deserve! That said, please enjoy your visit! ^_^ [1]

Change in Focus, Change in Name

Hello, and welcome to A White Today, and a White Tomorrow! This site is my tribute to Jessie, James & Meowth -- the REAL stars (and heroes) of Pokemon!

When my site first opened, it was just a small shrine devoted to Rocketshipping. But before long, it grew and evolved into a site that was not only about Rocketshipping, but Team Rocket in general as well. And now, my site has evolved again! Worry not -- it's still all about why Jessie, James, Meowth, and their pokemon rule, and why Jessie & James are one of the best couples ever, but the focus has shifted somewhat. Because of serious constraints on my disk space and bandwidth (and because I just don't have the time to maintain a large site), I've had to streamline the content. Since the main reason I started this site was because I wanted a place to showcase my stories (and because I wanted to give Jessie, James & Meowth the recognition and respect they deserve), I've simply gone back to basics.

[snipped]

I've named my site A White Today, and a White Tomorrow because it's devoted to why J, J & M are so wonderful and why they deserve to be happy. I got the "White Tomorrow" part from Kojiro's line of the Japanese motto, where he says that a white tomorrow is waiting for him and his friends. I interpret this line as meaning that no matter how many adversities they face, our heroes will never give up their dreams, and they're destined for a happy ending someday soon. I'd like nothing more than for J, J & M to have a happy ending on the show...but I also firmly believe that they deserve to be happy NOW! They already put up with more than their share of injustice and cruelty on the show, from the media, and even in fandom. They've more than paid their dues, so it's about friggin' time they caught a break! "A White Today" means that this site is just such a place -- a place where Jessie, James, Meowth, and their friends are loved and honored...and where the abuse they put up with on the show is invalidated, and the abuse they receive from other sources isn't tolerated.

So, if you're an anti-shipper, somebody who hates Team Rocket, or somebody who doesn't like my opinions or how I'm running my site, then I suggest you leave now. I know I've got some really strong beliefs when it comes to TR and Rocketshipping (and I certainly don't expect everybody to like that or agree with me), but I'm not forcing anybody to visit my site, and I'm not forcing my beliefs on anybody or hassling those who have different ideas and opinions, so it's pointless to flame me about my views on Team Rocket and Rocketshipping, my rejection of Pokemon canon, etc. If you don't like what I'm doing, just go somewhere else, and leave me alone -- it's as simple as that! (Only idiots spend time visiting sites they don't like. Besides, it's stupid to pick a fight with me about something like this when the world is faced with so many REAL problems.) To the curious, I cordially invite you to read on and learn of the wonderful characters that this site is all about (and enjoy a pro-TR alternative to what we get on the show)! And if you love J, J & M and Rocketshipping as much as I do (and you're as fed-up with series canon as I am), then welcome to the new world -- a world where Ash Ketchum is shown for the idiotic loser that he is...a world where Jessie, James & Meowth are the happy, successful people that they deserve to be...and above all, a world where love and friendship conquer all, and Rocketshippiness flourishes!

About Submissions

...since I've been incredibly busy lately and don't have much space left on my fanfic server, I'M NO LONGER TAKING FANFIC SUBMISSIONS!!! With VERY few exceptions, I just can't post other people's fics anymore! However, I'm still leaving my fanfic guidelines posted because I'll still read and review fics if they comply with my rules. I also think reading and understanding these rules and my rating system will help everybody to better understand this site and what to expect when you visit the Library, so please take a look at them. I put a lot of work into that guideline page...and for very good reason! [3]
