Pokemon and Team Rocket Cosplay

Pokemon was the first anime and video game title I had ever cosplayed. I started out cosplaying as Ash Ketchum on Halloween of 1999. I then moved on to cosplaying Team Rocket, the villains of Pokemon. I portrayed Jessie and Mandy of Team Rocket at local Pokemon Tours and anime/comic conventions. The Pokemon events included Gameboy Tournaments, Trading Card Game Tournaments, the Pokemon movies, and the West Coast Super Trainer Showdown which was aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.
