If you remember James is sort of homosexual or maybe a transvestite because he dresses up inappropriately in one of the banned episodes and in the episode, "The Water Flowers of Cerulean City" He says after being thunderbolted, "This is one of the times I wish I could go straight" Plus James also didn't want to marry Jessibelle giving three reasons why he may be gay. This is just in Kanto too.

NOTE: I am not against homosexuality as I respect the feelings of all men and women on this Earth. Do not rant me if I sound offesnive, but please what do you think?
