Pokemon Rocket : Jessie (red)

Introduction: "Pokemon Rocket: Jessie (Red)" is a fan-made ROM hack of the official Pokemon FireRed. It is not an official game or a bootleg. The hack casts you as Jessie of Team Rocket, starting your journey in the Kanto region with a modified story focused on the villainous team's perspective. The visual style retains the standard Game Boy Advance assets and tile sets from FireRed, not the original Game Boy.

Gameplay & Mechanics: The game begins with a choice of three starter Pokemon: Ekans, Koffing, and Wobbuffet, reflecting Jessie's canonical team. The difficulty is generally standard, though some boss battles against Gym Leaders and rival Team Rocket members can be challenging. It does not implement the Physical/Special split from Generation IV, nor does it add the Fairy type or Mega Evolution. The engine is based on Generation III mechanics, including abilities and the original type chart.

Key Features:

• Play as a Team Rocket member, with a story that recontextualizes Kanto's events from the antagonist's side.
• Catch and use a roster primarily composed of Pokemon associated with Team Rocket, including Meowth, Arbok, and Weezing.
• Face modified Gym Leader teams and battle against rival factions within Team Rocket as you climb the organization's ranks.

The hack provides a straightforward alternative storyline without major mechanical overhauls to the base FireRed experience.
