Team Rocket


 * Joining **

You can join team rocket from Nugget Bridge, the grunt gives you directions to the academy under Saffron City

You can access the Celadon Game Corner Basement without battling anyone, you meet Giovanni and have a (not) nice conversation

You can convince the Rocket Grunts to let Mr. Fuji go without battling them

If you were in Team Rocket, Giovanni has different dialogue in his gym

Jessie & James will always fight you because they think you're a twerp

Gym Leaders who know about Team Rocket will hint at knowing you're apart of it (if you challenge them before Silph Co.)

They will also talk about it in postgame, tying in your experience to their points

If you've joined Team Rocket, you'll have a harder time winning the trust of Silver, Blaine, and Mewtwo.

You will be kicked out after the rival battle in Silph Co.
