>Team Rocket lived up to their name and saved humanity by building the rocket they evacuated the planet on
>>59016922>so hear me out right team rocket is actually the good guys and they named themselves after a rocket so they can transport a bunch of humans to outer space because the world is falling apart and they changed themselves to team r for redemption while also having the same letter as their previous name and also all the pokemon are going digital completely digital they'll be invincible completely digital until one day the humans will return and undigital the digital monsters and restore the world together hey are you ok
Is there a compilation of all the new Team Rocket lore so far?
>>59016922Weren't they the ones that fucked up the world tho?
You spoiled me asshole
>>59016922>Team R built a rocket to evacuate into outer space all by ourselves3/10, apply yourself. "to blast off into outer space" was right there, c'mon
Anything else from the grunt’s journal entries? The grunt’s so lovable in them
>>59016922>>59017041doesn't the entry imply they only saved themselves, and everyone else evacuated on a different spaceship?still kinda faggy though
>>59018267Are there more entries?
Yawn….We’ve had post apocalyptic Pokemon before
>Continuously sugarcoating more and more of Team Rocket>Removing the bite that made them memorable in the first placeGenuinely speaking, what is the appeal in it? It's a nameless grunt. This won't even be brought up again in some quantity. Even if it is some niche event in a mainline game, it will show the laziness of commitment to it by not even be an unique model.
>>59018969I hate we never get to explore a side story where everything went wrong.I know is like asking to become Shin Megami Tensei at that point, but it would be interesting to see a world where human kind and Pokémon kind are at each other's throats, trying to survive the apocalypse.
>>59018977>I know is like asking to become Shin Megami Tensei at that pointIt's not like that. WHEN they made something like the ultra space alternate universe once then it's acceptable to ask for a continuation upon that possibility.They made that stepping stone already in Pokemon itself, don't compare to other IPs when Pokemon already threaded it. Call it more of Ultra Space if it feels better because that is what it is.
Sure but does anyone actually kind of want to join Team Rocket based off the grunt’s descriptions…. It sounds fun
I want to see an apocalyptic Alola swarming with UBs because trainers kept going into wormholes and messing with their own dimension.
>>59018970Bite? Team Rocket literally disbands the first time because a kid won a Pokémon Battle. They had zero reason to care for that because Red is a battle focused autist who doesn't care to rule or manage anything.
>>59018992>don't compare to other IPsNo you should compare to other IPs. Because it's how you, oh no, grow your franchise.
So who was the "boss" at the time? Still Giovanni?
>>59018969And?
>>59019189Read the complete post. They did the idea of a doomed world already, just use that instead. The last time Pokemon copied an IP it got compared it enabled an unending trend that ended up in complaints. Why repeat that swan song?
>>59019388Archer
>>59019388Giovanni still got buck broken and disbanded TR in Pokopia
>>59018970Guess shielding TR from criticism has a cost.
>>59018977>>59018992>>59019189The darkest the series ever got was Pokemon Colosseum, and even the darkest moments of that game are mostly at the start, it seems like The Pokemon Company is pretty against acknowledging that game existed at this point, so I don't see them really fully exploring the idea of a dark timeline/alternate universe besides just hints and teases of them existing
>>59018970In this situation its pretty justified, since it was a literal end of the world situation for the whole planet, and so they would be just as fucked as anyone else>>59019156Its really Giovanni to blame, depending on what you want to use as the reason (RGBY/FRLG frames it as Giovanni's passion as a Trainer being relit after his final battle with Red, or HGSS establishing Giovanni not believing himself to be fit to be a leader anymore with how Red beat his and all of Team Rocket's ass), he's the reason it all falls apart really, the Johto titles even show they can manage without him, but they have a blind level of loyalty towards him it seems
>>59019388There's a lot pointing towards Pokopia at the very least happening after the Kanto games, so Red defeats Giovanni, Giovanni leaves, and Archer is the current leader of Team RocketOnly because of the situation of the planet, they never go out of their way to try and find Giovanni, and focus on trying to escape the planet
>>59018977I believe they'd overcome it through cooperation rather than being at each other's throats.
>>59019768Seeing that Kyogre there, it's possible that Team Magma Awaken Groudon, which lead to Aqua awakening Kyogre; and with Rayquaza wasn't awaken in time, they caused a global catastrophe that caused humanity to flee to space as their monsters are placed in storage. Remember, RSE took place around the same time as FRLG.
>>59020502Weren't there notes saying that it was a man-made apocalypse and that TR was behind it?
>>59018970>sugarcoating Team Rocket>last we heard of Rocket they had conquered the multiverse and Giovanni made the other leaders his personal bitchesDid you forget about rainbow rocket?
>the entire plot of Pokopia revolves around protecting the world from devastation, uniting all people within your nation, denouncing the evils of truth and love, and extending your reach to the stars above.>the ending has the Team's Rocket blasting off at the speed of light.BRAVO, NOLAN.
>>59018240Any idea what their original plan after they get in space is?Do they plan to mine moon stones in the moon or something?
>>59020622>lightWait what? Also wasn't that JJ&M exclusive motto?
