    ...and had a chance to join in any of their schemes (in Johto), which would be the most fun and why? Would you change any of their schemes?? Or is there a scheme you think TR should've tried (like with the legends)?

    I personally would have loved to be a grunt in Mahogany Town. Getting the chance to "brainwash" Magikarp would be cool.

    That was so awful ;; I felt genuinely sad about it the first time I ran into that event. Later I read somewhere that Slowpokes are pretty much numb buuut still it's a really cruel thing to do. I'd have preferred if the event was about them planning to do that, so that you could still feel animosity towards them for even thinking about such a thing, but not actually having time to go through with it before you stopped them.

    ... I realize that I'm replying from a player point of view and not as a "what if the game was real" point of view haha, sorry.

    I mean, it would have been very cool if we could have manipulated the tech to make the Magikarp/Gyarados turn against Team Rocket and surprise them and drive them away. Basically, if I had been able to join TR, I'd probably try to ruin their business from within haha. And then spend the rest of my life living in fear for their revenge (8
     
    I'm personally surprised they didn't actually take it further. More of those shady Slowpoketail sales men (even earlier in the games) would have made you pretty suspicious. Maybe even... seeing Slowpoke in small places all over the region and as you get to Azalea there's even less to the point where you're like OK what happened... and then you find Slowpoke slowly spreading to the rest of the region after.

    Tbh that would have been the most fun though. It just seems SO incredibly evil.

    And yesss manipulating Magikarp to do your dirty work in taking down the team. If I was part of TR I'd definitely try to do it just for the CHAOSSSS.

    I'd have been one of the fights in the radio tower. My team would not have anything like the normal rockets have.

    Because it's radio would you have an army of Magnemite??
     
    While I know we didn't actually find out about Silver's relationship with Team Rocket until much later on, it would've been neat to play as him and actually follow in his father's footsteps, rather than just try and rebel against Team Rocket. Sure, he might still actually hate the team, but being able to do little things to throw a wrench into their plans right before Gold/Kris showed up would've been fun to see.
     
    I'd of brought back the glory days of stealing fossils and novelty items from Silph Co
     
    Oh, the base with all the electrodes. I could totally beef those things up to steam roll anyone who came through the base! Explosions for everyone! Ooh, ooh! And selling Slopoke Tail! And stealing Rage Candy Bars (aka Protein Bars)
     
    Bump! What would you guys do as part of TR?
     
    In Pokemon ash gray the metapods game, I'm stuck in Mikan island I failed to beat Cissy's time in wave ride and then she dissapeared I can't find her anywhere what should I do ?

    Wrong section, it has nothing to do with the thread topic.

    If I were in TR and had a petty, crooked lifestyle like they do, I'd steal every single valuable pokemon in Johto, and not just common pokemon that youngster Joey can catch. I would steal Elm's starters and his Master Ball, Whitney's Miltank, Morty's Gengar, Jasmine's Steelix, Clair's Kingdra, Extremespeed Dratini, Lance's three Dragonites and use them to catch the Beasts, Lugia, Ho-Oh and Celebi. After I form my army of powerful pokemon and conquer Johto, I begin making my way to Kanto to take over it with my army of pokemon and TR cannon fodder. I then head to other regions too.
     
    I would take charge of the organization

    Instead of wasting so much time and energy looking for Giovanni, we would look to the past and see where his plans fell apart and correct the mistakes. Once we establish enough success and notoriety in the region, it'll draw his attention anyways, and he would come out of hiding. If I'm in charge, we're never going to broadcast our location and plans in such a major city. I would make our return more subtle, and not immediately announce our plans to take over. In the original team rocket, they had success as an underground crime organization. It would be my goal to keep it this way, so we wouldn't immediately attract the attention of someone like Lance.

    Everything Hoshiko said. I will take care of those poor Slowpokes :(
     
    If I had my way, I would have joined the Celadon location stationed at the Game Corner and would actually go out of my way to do something unbelievable and mysterious to any Rocket member; travel, catch and train pokemon. During those 3 years of training, I'd fight Archer and his division, disband Team Rocket and create a new group devoid of crime. (Except the casino, we're keeping that.)

    "Houndoom, eh? I've raised a Vaporeon. Good luck." Yeah, I can picture that final clash.
