@em except...they aren't.
@em
1. crossdressing is a VERY Japanese thing, and considered more-or-less normal.
2. Episode "The Treasure Is All Mine!" reveals he has a fiancée.
3. He is flamboyant and emotional, but that in and of itself != indication of sexuality
4. It's a kids show. Kids shows do not deal with sexuality in that manner, even in Japan.
5. The manga straight up tells you he is hetero.
@matt no actually there aren't any straight people in the pokemon universe. sorry you had to find out this way
@em I should indicate that I'm talking about James specifically, but some of these apply to Jessie
