4?! Oh my... I can't wait! Also if I may say could you throw it more pokemon to steal?
EDIT: Will our current games transfer over to the next beta or will we have to restart?

A good job on the Hack.
I Get why you have the starters Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur, but I feel as we're playing as a Team Rocket grunt we should rather steal a different Pokemon Like a Nidoran Female if you're a boy or Nidoran Male if you're a Girl or something like that. Starter Pokemon just seem a bit too hero-ish.

May I make one las suggestion? Can we possibly get a reward for find the artifacts? I find it a little odd that I successfully beat Brock, secured one of the 8 artifacts and only got a congrats for it. Maybe a cash reward or a promotion or something like that? Just an idea...

Good idea. I'll think about it.
NATIONAL POKéDEX will be added. You'll be able to get all 151 + Many Johto / Hoenn POKéMON.

This is an amazing idea, I love the chance to play as a team rocket grunt
That is a great idea, but on one of the screenshots, the first with the pokedex, i'd suggest putting them next to each other (on the top, rather than one on top, the other on the bottom)
Other than that, the game looks amazing! you can do so much with it! cameos of jesse james and meowth, butch and cassidy, or everything completely original, you could do the later years, or how it all started, anything!
Good luck!

I've been playing the hack for a good time now. First off, I'd like to commend you on what's been developed thus far. I think the concept is auring and you've executed it pretty well. I do have a few suggestions that I think should be implemented:
I believe that every Rocket base should have some sort of electric gate feet away from the entrance that opens with a key that each recruit is given upon indoctrination into Team Rocket. The Key would only be given to Rocket members and would be used to open every gate so that members can access all of the bases. It also adds that extra layer of security that any notorious evil teams layer would logically have.
I also think that the headquarter building near Palet should be considerably bigger. Not gigantic, but I think it's appropriate the the HQ would be large. possibly at least 4 floors with Giovanni's office being on the top floor only accessible by entering a password in the elevator that only Giovanni himself would know. The other floors aside from the "underground base" that you've already implemented should be accessible by all members of Rocket regardless of rank. Like a break room or general area where all Rockets can relax and have causal covo kind of like Toxic Purple.
Someone mentioned reward like promotions and other things for completing missions and obtaining the artifacts. I think this should definitely be implemented. possibly after obtaining the second artifact, the player could be promoted. I believe that the player should have the opportunity to work there way up the Ranks of rocket to be executives. You should also implement a definitive rank system possibly using the rank system from the anime. I think that each rank should come with it's own pro's and new privileges and permissions. Maybe top executives are able to wear the Rocket uniform optionally when ever they desire for example. That's a huge advantage to be able to blend in with the public. I know in the past games the executives wore suites.
I love the stealing system. I do think that players should have the choice of stealing one of the Pokemon of their defeated opponents, not just Pokemon that are out of their Poke balls.
I think that as the payer progresses in the game and is promoted, less random trainers should try to confront and battle the player. I would think that team rocket would cause a more adverse effect from trainers than what is seen in the hack. They were notorious and the general public feared them. Of course there will be courageous trainers who will want to defend and protect and be heroes and all of that, but I don't think every singe trainer you encounter that see's you should be so enthused to battle. I actually think that as paying Rocket, the player should have more power to willingly force trainers to battle rather than always being confronted.
I think that there should be side missions or quest aside from the whole gather the eight artifacts thing. Enough to keep the player having fun and not becoming bored from the redundancy of repetition that's been present in nearly ever release of this franchise. Like being able to accept different missions depending on the location of the base that the recruit is currently at. Like in Cerulean a possibly mission could be kidnapping Bill to force him to reveal secrets about the possible exploitation of his Pokemon storage technology, battling the police, and even sabotaging Misty's gym and stealing her rare Gyrados. Are you seeing the picture I'm painting?
Those are the biggest things I think that would really solidify this hacks success. Creating a hack unlike any other.
Overall, this project has a ton of potential and I'd like to see it come to full fruition. I'd like to help out if you need and would accept me.

Saltsas, I'm afraid that post was in fact a revival of this thread. Remember- if over a month has passed since the last valid post (meaning a post that hasn't been deleted) in a thread was made, then you may not post in that thread. Please be sure to check the dates in future, just in case ;)
