Pokemon Team Rocket Edition is a Pokemon GBA Rom Hack by DragonsdenTV based on Pokemon Emerald in English & Spanish. And It is now available to download. It was last updated on April 30, 2025.

Description

You begin the journey as another recruit in the general headquarters of Isla Inta, in seven islands, with the purpose of gradually advancing in the organization. To do so, you must successfully complete the assignments assigned to you by your superiors. Your tale takes place in the same chronology as the beginning of Red and Blue’s adventure, and because you’ll be transferred to Kanto at some point, you’ll be able to see Red/story Blue’s from the perspective of a team member.

Team Rocket, and others, see everything that was behind it (here, of course, we go into the issue of speculations), attempting to make everything that happens canonical inside the original games, while certain surprises fall. As a result, the idea behind this hack is that you, as a random rocket recruit, can do everything in your power to reverse the classic situation in which team rocket and Giovanni are destroyed by red, partly doing justice by giving him to a villain of our ability as a player, so there will be a clash between this and the canonical story (which will be maintained in this hack).

All of this is, despite the high proportion, a part of our experience, because we will also witness some of the most important projects that the team rocket had on the way, with a substantial portion of the game dedicated to uncovering various mysteries that many of us could suspect but were never confirmed.

Features
