Considering how much she seems to be liked by the fandom, what do you guys think on her return throughout various reigons?(Assuming she doesn't get caught)

With me, it would sure be interesting if she worked for Team Rocket like a bounty hunter as well as other evil teams and clients. Makes one wonders if she has a syndicate.
 
Team Rocket has had more than enough agents, all of which failed at the hands of the twerps. Get her involved with them and she won't be cool anymore.

I do think she should be involved with Galactic though. Maybe she could be the one that helps capture the lake trio.
 
I think the main purpose of Hunter J's character is that she's a Pokémon trafficker who's independent of the main Pokémon Traffickers of the franchise, Team Rocket.

Team Rocket's reputation as a threatening group of villains has pretty much been tarnished by their "most famous members".

She basically represents the idealized version of Team Rocket that people here wish the actual team was.
 
I did wonder if Hunter J is going to be arrested by the end of the region, or if she'll continue causing trouble in future sagas.

While the villain team of the games are usually disbanded, (TR wasn't simply because of JJM), Pokehunter J is not tied down to any specific gen.

I think she's been handled better than Galactic so far, and she's the type of villain the show should have always had.
 
I wonder when we'll see her next considering her gun was destroyed in her last appearance.

Also, it's worth noting that most of her clients have backed out of their deals with her or been arrested.
 
But for most of those deals, she still got the money. After that, she could care two shits what happened to her clients.

She only got paid, as I recall, for the deal in the flashback during Mutiny in the Bounty! and by the guy in the Riolu special. Her client in the Shieldon episode backed out to her face, and the client who ordered Regigigas backed out too.
 
I'm not sure. Cyrus told Jupiter to hire a pokemon hunter so the writers could have just created her for the Team Galactic arc. She might get caught after Cyrus fails but who knows?

What episode did they say that?

Are you sure it wasn't a mistranslation or someone just posted the wrong thing?

J appearing in the Regigigas ep had nothing to do with Galactic, so I really wonder. What ep was that said in?
 
J is quite a good villain. There's nothing funny about her or any little quirks, it seems.

The real Team Rocket could have achieved this, if JJMW weren't bogging their image down. (Still love them, though.)
 
I would love J to hang around - she's certainly the best villain this show has EVER had. However, she needs to be wrapped up at some point, or she'll feel overused.
 
Arrested, perhaps? Though, it would be nice to have different Pokèmon Hunters appearing now and then, but they'd have to be wrapped up, like J will be (hopefully).
 
Her purpose seems to be, telling the fandom that team rocket is no longer to be taken seriously anymore, like we needed help.
 
I hope Hunter J does get a final conclusion.

They can't just have her get defeated and fly off again never to be seen again.

Gaaaaaaaah! Why do people act like TR was ever a huge threat?! They were serious for all of about 2 seconds. Their decay into comic relief started at the end of their debut episode.

Not sure what you mean by that.

The second bit? I'm just saying that if we get rid of J and bring in a similar hunter/something, they may just feel like a copy of J.

That would be so annoying. I hope (not anytime soon but at some point in the future) she gets a very final ending.
 
That, I understand, but they can give other Hunters backstories, and do the same with J.

Like, the next Hunter could be someone who sees their job as the only way they can get by in life or something.
