Nah, Im no saint but im not going to be henchman number 7. Besides, the pokemon they use are boring. ---

I mean, don’t they abuse Pokemon? I like the uniforms and actually like a lot of their Pokemon choices, but can’t get down with animal abuse. ---

No, I don’t think I would want to be part of Team Rocket or any of the extremist organizations across the gens. If I lived in the world of Pokemon, I think I’d want to be a Pokemon Professor. ---

The way the “good” trainers treat their Pokemon would be considered abuse in the real world. I can’t really get behind stealing and doing criminal stuff in real life so no. But in the games? Sure. Give me all the Shadows in PoGo. ---

No. It’s possible to do Team Rocket-adjacent activities in the real world; most people aren’t involved with those activities so I don’t see why Pokemon being involved would change things. ---

While I condemn torture and/or killing of Pokemon, I think poaching, gambling, bullying weaker trainers, stealing and tax evasion could be a lot of fun _in a fictional context._ Definitely interesting gameplay-wise, considering how cool it would be to climb the Team Rocket hierarchy, while unveiling the dark hiding below the “too optimistic” Pokemon society. Police in the Poke world seems pretty incompetent, and that’s a plus. ---

Sure! I’m a cat person and I’d look good in that magnificent suit. ![image](https://efour.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/c/4/c45e2edce5a6ae22d6c2990af80f600a94488002.jpeg) ---

I’d have to pass, but I agree with @Dyl that being a professor would be fun! Otherwise sign me up for the Pokemon fan club! 🤓 ---

Nope. But in a more fictional context, perhaps temporarily as spy, trying to make ‘colleague’ Team Rocket members get arrested and letting captured Pokémon escape while being undercover sounds like a fun activity. Greetz, Quuador ---

It would be fun to go undercover into Team Rocket to liberate Pokémon and cause chaos for the organization on the inside. I’d be that grunt who helps trainers navigate the hideouts and warehouses by sharing the keys and passwords willingly. Edit: Looks like @Quuador and I had the same idea :pikajoy: ---
