Play Pokemon Neo : Rocket (blue) Online

Pokemon Neo: Rocket (Blue) is one of those rare fan games that actually makes you feel like a proper villain. Instead of starting in Pallet Town with dreams of being a Pokémon master, you wake up as a fresh Team Rocket grunt—complete with a snarky attitude and zero moral compass. Your first mission? Steal someone’s Rattata. It’s petty, but weirdly satisfying.

The overworld looks familiar—same Kanto roads, same tall grass—but now you’re ducking behind buildings to avoid cops and picking fights with trainers just to swipe their Pokémon. The dialogue’s got this smug, tongue-in-cheek tone, like the game knows you’re having too much fun being awful. And yeah, the battles still feel like classic Game Boy Pokémon, except now you’re using stolen monsters against the very people you robbed.

What really hooked me were the little details. Some NPCs recognize you as a criminal and refuse to heal your team, while others secretly cheer you on. The maps have hidden shortcuts only a crook would use, and the storyline twists in ways that make you question who the real bad guys are. If you’ve ever wanted to trade your hero cape for a black hoodie, this is the rom hack for you.
