I was just wondering what motto is everybody's favorite around here...

For me, it's the Sinnoh motto. Most of the background animation is really good, the music is awesome, and the best part is that it's used outside the motto as a battle theme(sorta).
 
By the actual motto: Kanto, OI and Johto.
By music: Same as above.
By poses: Sinnoh! The poses are just so epic, and they do something else than just stand and talk.
 
I love the original motto... it flows better than the other two. Though they've really been spicing up the Sinnoh motto with cool poses, I feel like they're doing it in an attempt to hide what a crummy motto it is.
 
Talking about angels and demons is cool though... I just wish the dub wasn't "in my face".
 
Shinnou has the best poses, but the original was love x3 Oh man, I do miss it sometimes!
 
I liked the classic one. Actually, classic team rocket overall was awesome.
 
Mmmfff, nah :p I'd keep the TR of today...just with the old motto!
 
I've actually forgotten the Battle Frontier motto.

Why did they change it for just that short saga? Something tells me the Battle Frontier arc was supposed to go on a lot longer than it did.
 
The originals. I don't even know the new mottos, even though I've heard them say it quite a few times now I don't even know how to begin to recite it.

But I will NEVER forget Prepare for trouble...
 
Lol. Where's the option for undecided? Its so hard to choose..but I think I'll go with the classic one. I love them all but that one just has something to it..
 
What about your favorite motto variation? I have two. One is in Lapras of Luxury:

Jessie: To denounce the evils of a string bikini!
James: And extend our reach a teeny weeny!

And the other is in the second movie, when they did a "good guys" version when they were going to help Ash.
 
The variation awards goes to all the ones Ash and Co. have done.
 
Haha. In that case, there was an episode in the orange islands where Jessie's hair got cut. I don't remember the exact words but I remember the motto being quite funny.(I think it was the ep where Tracey catches Scyther?)

Probably just to make them a bit scarier back in their home reigion. Worked in the first few episodes, but stock footage made a horrible comeback.

That, or they wanted to include Meowth a bit more in the motto.
 
Yeah, after awhile it felt a little insulting how in the motto they talk about how it's just the two of them... oh yeah and there's a Nyasu as well. I'm kinda glad they changed it. Not just because of that, but because I'm at early AG, and I'm tired of hearing the same damn thing every episode.

I bet they'll get a new one when they return to Jouto.
 
Classic motto: makes little sense.
BF motto: makes no sense.
Sinnoh motto: makes negative sense.

So I'm going with classic.

Jessie: To protect us from all that chafing and itching!
James: It might finally stop all of Jessie's... complaining!

They probably should have used it for Hoenn too then.

Hoenn still used the classic motto, but by then it started to get stale. The only thing they did was change the motto BGM.
