[Pokemon] Why haven't Jessie and James capitalized on the fact that Meowth can talk?

Think of all the scams they could run:
"Oh you have a legendary Pokemon? We have a talking one! Let's trade," and then Meowth pretends to go along until he can escape back to them.

Or go above board: Meowth becomes a professional translator. That's Incredibly valuable. Why not do that instead of constantly chasing around a small child for his one Pokemon?

Jessie and James don't really see Meowth as valuable, he's just their often annoying partner in crime. As a Pokemon he is pretty weak, rarely fights and has a stubborn and conniving personality, but isn't very intelligent. And in comparison to other Meowth, he's usually considered pretty ugly.

You're right that Meowth does have a lot of potential value, but Jessie and James are so singularly focused on Pokemon's battling potential that Meowth doesn't strike them as worth much.
