Pokémon Edición Team Rocket: Play the Story of Red and Blue as a Rocket Recruit
Pokémon Edición Team Rocket is a Spanish-language hack by Dragonsden that flips the classic Kanto adventure around: you are not the champion-in-the-making but a new recruit of Team Rocket. The author's own pitch is to experience what happens behind the scenes of Red and Blue, from the villains' side, while keeping the canon story intact and leaving room for a few surprises.

How the adventure starts
You begin as an ordinary grunt at the Team Rocket headquarters on Isla Inta, in the Sevii Islands, and have to complete the missions your superiors assign you. The story runs on the same timeline as the start of Red and Blue's journey. At a certain point you are transferred to Kanto, where you witness the original events from a Rocket's point of view.
