For some reason I love the fact a team rocket grunt made it to retirement with only a Rattata

[@the9tailedgamer403]

Same, especially cause there's no way it's alolan

[@DekuOfPower]

RtxtDriver As a child, he went by the name of Joey. He got a top-percentage Rattata and trained its EVs to be perfect. He joined Rocket with the Godtatta, and Rocket accepted him with open arms

[@Devil-Speed8]

TriforceP that would be the best story ever. I want that. Make it so that we see the life of joey being beaten then gradually winning even against the elite four with only a ratta He would have beem better then red himself if red didnt destroy team R. Truly a play of fate

Ash started as a 10 years old tho so it makes sence you tho people start when they are 10. Same goes on island trials in Pokemon Sun and Moon in Alola.Normally in the games they said that you have to be 11 years old to start taking island trials.Well,Ash (spoiler allert for the next ep of the anime) is 10 years old but he started taking on island trials in ep 9 and 10.

Eh, there'd be much more pokemon honestly. Eventually primarinas, or something of similar intelligence and semi-apposable body parts, would recolonize a more spacious world... If their plan actually involved them making water out of thin air. Yeah, the water would eventually erode soil, making the world reach the highest entropy state, but um... no, Arceus exists, and the time it would take for that to actually happen is long enough for kyogre to get bored, or long enough that Arceus, Rayquaza, or basically anyone with the power to put kyogre to sleep to interfere. Though the issue of worldwide flooding would be an initial issue, humans have pokemon, enough said.

[@painfulelegy812]

Except their second set of plans was 'try to take over a country to find our boss because we can't operate without him; try to capture powerful pokemon to try and take over'. I mean it's not like giovanni's plot in the games seemed to center around capturing sliphco to get the master ball and capture mewtwo again to continue a plot of conquest, as opposed to everyone's claims that they were simply performing crimes that simply happened to be side things to the actual plans like the attack on the museum and sub platform in RSE.

[@kylepessell1350]

Personally I'd love for a villain team that wants to advance human evolution and is led by a rouge professor. This team would attempt to artificially create humans with Pokemon abilities and would work entirely in secret. It would be the job of the player to figure out they even exist before deciding whether or not to actually intervene in the project. Deciding to stop them or deciding to not stop them would have an impact on the rest of the game.
