<\/figure>\n

As the first-ever evil team in the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon<\/em><\/a> series, as well as being one of the main antagonists in the anime, Team Rocket<\/a> has consistently been one of the most easily recognizable villains in video games. Although they mainly appear in the Kanto and Johto region games, their influence has been felt across nearly every playable region in the mainline games.<\/p>\n

Team Rocket’s goal may be a simple one, to extort money through\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon by any means necessary, there is a great deal of information and history hidden throughout the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> games that players may have missed, particularly if they aren’t actively looking for it.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>The Only Evil Team Confirmed To Have Killed Pokemon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The generation one games have a reputation for being quite a bit darker than any of the games that followed, particularly when it comes to the treatment of Pok\u00e9mon and the bluntness of some characters in the game.\u00a0During the player’s quest to put the ghost<\/a> of Marowak to rest, it is revealed that during a confrontation, Team Rocket ended up killing the mother Marowak as it tried to defend its child from harm. So far, Team Rocket is the only evil team to have been confirmed to have killed a\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon, as most other evil teams would rather subjugate\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon than kill them.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Archer In FireRed & LeafGreen<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In the generation one remakes FireRed and LeafGreen<\/em><\/a>, players are able to explore a completely new part of the map called the Sevii Islands, which holds\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon otherwise not native to the region as well as some extra trainers. One of these trainers, although he is unnamed in the game, is Archer, the future head of Team Rocket in the generation two games. He appears on Five Island and challenges the player to a battle, having a similar team to his battle in\u00a0HeartGold and SoulSilver<\/em><\/a>. After defeating him, he backs down\u00a0after he recognizes that the player has defeated Giovanni<\/a>, seeing the Earth Badge, and vows to return Team Rocket to its former glory in the Johto region.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>The Mewtwo Connections<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There is a running theory in the Pok\u00e9mon franchise that Team Rocket isn’t necessarily as evil as they claim to be, with a few hints throughout the generation one games that they have a very different end goal than what they claim. Although their connection to the legendary Pok\u00e9mon was only in the animated film, it is possible that Giovanni only ever wanted to catch Mewtwo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The player’s first encounter with Team Rocket is in Mt. Moon<\/a> and Celadon City, very close to where Mewtwo resides in the game. The Silph Scope that they are interested in reveals Ghost-type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon, the only type that was effective against Psychic-type\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon at the time, and the final encounter with Team Rocket rewards the player with the Master Ball, which would have caught Mewtwo without any hassle.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>The Power Plant Thief’s Future<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

After beating Team Rocket in the Radio Tower and disbanding them for good, players will meet one final Team Rocket Grunt in the Kanto region after defeating the Elite Four and becoming the champion. This grunt steals a vital component of the refurbished Power Plant, and after defeating him, he claims that he will move back home and build Team Rocket anew. In\u00a0Black and White<\/em>, it is shown that, instead, he gave up the life of crime, settled in\u00a0Icirrus City in the Unova region, and got married instead.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>They Have No Bearing On The Story<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

For the most part in recent Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> titles, the evil team of that region has a large influence on the main storyline of that particular game, usually wanting to do something evil with the cover legendaries. So far,\u00a0Team Rocket is the only evil team to not have any real impact on the wider story or to have any interest in the cover Pok\u00e9mon, even in\u00a0Gold and Silver<\/em> <\/a>when the cover\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon started being legendary\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Executives\u00a0Ariana & Petrel<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Although the games and the anime are usually completely separate, with the exception of Yellow<\/em> and\u00a0Let’s Go Pikachu and Eevee<\/em><\/a> having references to anime events, there is one in the mainline series that is easy to miss.\u00a0Based on their demeanor and Pok\u00e9mon of choice, it is likely that Executives Ariana and Petrel are based on\u00a0Jesse and James from the anime. Petrel is seen in his final battle with a team of five Koffing and a Weezing, the signature Pokemon of James in the earlier seasons, while Ariana has an Arbok on her team, which was Jesse’s signature Pokemon. Their character designs also have remnants of their anime counterparts, particularly in their stature and hair colors.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Giovanni’s Name<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Most of the gym leaders<\/a> in\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> have a name that represents their particular specialty in\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon types, with the likes of Brock the Rock-type leader and Misty the Water-type leader easily coming to mind, though this isn’t consistent for all gym leaders. One that has this reference, though not in his English name, is Giovanni.<\/p>\n

Related:\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon Let’s Go: Where To Find Mr. Mime & 9 Other Uncommon Pok\u00e9mon<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Giovanni’s Japanese name is Sakaki, a sacred tree in Shinto religion that closely resembles the Earth Badge in design \u2014 a very obvious nod to his eventual reveal as the Viridian City gym leader if players are playing in Japanese.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>The Executive’s Names<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Like Giovanni, the Executives Archer, Ariana, Proton, and Petrel\u00a0all have their own naming conventions that connect them to Team Rocket, though they are slightly different in their Japanese counterparts. Named Apollo, Athena, Lance, and Lambda respectfully, they are each named after a different model of rocket or missile, while their English names are based more on military hardware than exploration vehicles.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>The Cubone Theory & Giovanni<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There has been a long-running theory in the Pok\u00e9mon<\/em> series that Kangaskhan was intended to be the final evolution of the Cubone line. While there have been many nods to this theory in\u00a0more recent games, the first one that players noticed was with Giovanni’s team in\u00a0Red and Blue<\/em>.\u00a0<\/em>Despite being the Ground-type gym leader, there is one Ground-type Pok\u00e9mon inextricably absent from his team: Marowak. What is present on his team instead, however, is a Kangaskhan, a\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon that is completely out of place considering it is a Normal-type<\/a>. While he would later have a Marowak during the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon World Tournament, he still carries this Kangaskhan with him as well.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Team Rocket’s Future<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

After not appearing as a main character since HeartGold a<\/em>nd SoulSilver <\/em>(discounting his matches in the\u00a0Pok\u00e9mon World Tournament), Giovanni and Team Rocket returned in\u00a0Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon<\/em><\/a> as Team Rainbow Rocket in Episode RR. Following his defeat at the hands of the player character, Giovanni, who has a Mewtwo at this point, is seen traveling to other worlds, indicating that Team Rocket is probably still functional in another universe in spite of the multiple times they have been disbanded.<\/p>\n
