Archer/Quotes

These are Archer's quotes in the Pokémon games.

In the core series games

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

• Before battle

"Oh? You managed to get this far? You must be quite the trainer. We intend to take over this Radio Station and announce our comeback. That should bring our boss Giovanni back from his solo training. We are going to regain our former glory. I won't allow you to interfere with our plans."

• Being defeated

"No! Forgive me, Giovanni!"

• After being defeated

"How could this be? Our dreams have come to naught. I wasn't up to the task after all. Like Giovanni did before me, I will disband Team Rocket here today. Farewell."

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

• Before battle

"That's quite enough of you playing the hero, kid. Spreading lies about how Team Rocket has disbanded… It's such an obvious attempt to cause confusion in our ranks. Fortunately, we're not so ignorant to fall for the lies of a child! And now, I'll show you how scary an angry adult can be!"

• Being defeated

"Urgh… You were too strong… … Th-that's Giovanni's Badge! So it's true? Team Rocket really has disbanded?"

• After being defeated

"We will abandon this Warehouse… But don't think this is over. I won't let this be the end. I will find Giovanni. And I will resurrect Team Rocket! I will… Until then, farewell!"

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

• Before battle

"Oh? You managed to get this far…? You must be quite the Trainer. We intend to take over this Radio Tower and officially announce our comeback. That should bring our boss Giovanni back from his solitary training. We are going to regain our former glory… I will not allow you to interfere with our meticulous plans!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"We can't have you getting in the way before news of our resurgence reaches Giovanni!"

• Last Pokémon low on health

"That's impossible…"

• Being defeated

"No! Forgive me, Giovanni!"

• After being defeated

"How could this be…? Our dreams have come to naught. I was not up to the task after all. Like Giovanni has done before me, I will disband Team Rocket here today. Farewell…"

Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!

Team Rocket Hideout (first visit)

• Talking with Giovanni (while the partner Pokémon is inside the air vent)

"Where did that Cubone come from, Boss?"

"The skull on its head is very beautiful... We should be able to sell it for a good price once it becomes a Marowak."

• Talking with Giovanni (upon entering the office)

"Just one look at this Silph Scope and it's plain to see... Silph Co. definitely has the technology and skill Team Rocket will need to make our wishes come true."

"Yes, sir!"

• Before battle

"What is a child doing here? You listened in our conversation without saying a word? I don't much care for that. I am Archer, an Admin of Team Rocket. And I do not go easy even on children!"

• Being defeated

"What a blunder!"

• After being defeated

"F-forgive me, Giovanni... For me to be defeated by a simple child..."

• After defeating Giovanni

"...Cubone seems to have gone home on its own. Why don't you get out of here, too, and figure out how to use that Silph Scope or something?"

Silph Co.

• Before battle

"You—!"

"So you're fool enough to get in our way, is that it? What brave little boys."

"Calm yourself! I'll teach these children a good lesson."

• Being defeated

"Gaaah... again?!"

• After being defeated

"So it wasn't just a stroke of luck that let you beat me last time. I understand now. We'll have to be more careful about you two..."

• 7F

"That's far enough!"

"Me again. As many times as it takes. I will not let you reach the boss!"

"Ugh! I don't have time for this! I must warn the boss!"

Team Rocket Hideout (post-game)

• Before battle

"You... What could you possibly want, coming back here now? Because of you, Team Rocket was disbanded... It's not my style to be emotional, but I wanted to give you a glimpse of how I felt."

• Being defeated

"With my current skills, I was not up to the task after all."

• After being defeated

"... Never mind. To tell you the truth... I thought you might show up, so I was writing a letter to you. Let me read it..."

""Dear <player>, Congratulations on conquering the Pokémon League. I hold no grudges against you for what you did to Team Rocket. Instead, using this defeat as a springboard, I would like to create an even stronger Team Rocket and officially announce our comeback. I will leave the Kanto region. I wish for your continued success here in Kanto. Farewell. Archer""

"What did I want you to think of me by writing such a letter?"

"Humph. ...Take care."

In the side series games

• After defeating the Olivine Gym

"Before you go any further, let's see how you far against us, Team Rocket!"

• Commanding his Misdreavus to use Curse

"Allow me to show you a horrific technique."

"We'll get hurt too, but I have no choice."

• Successfully confusing the player's Pokémon

"Oh. My, my..."

"It confused..." (Round 2 only)

• If the player is defeated

"How disappointing for you."

• After being defeated

"This does not mean that you have dashed our grand designs."

"As reported, you are indeed talented."

"It pains me to see your talent go to waste!"

• After winning

"May I invite you to join Team Rocket for a career in crime?"

"You may have qualities to become an Executive."

"What do you think? International-level Pokémon are marvelous, aren't they?"

• If the battle ended in a draw

"I must say, I had great confidence before the match."

• If the player runs from the battle

"Is that so? You're quitting?"

• One or Many

"We conducted some experiments of our own based on Professor Bellis's research materials, and now we have the results!"

"If it's for Giovanni's sake, I'll do whatever it takes."

"Team Rocket is willing to take any risk. When you face us, I wonder how far your battling skills will take you."

• Random conversation

"There's a thin line between justice and evil. Whoever wins defines justice."

"The grunts keep failing, so Giovanni is angry."

"If we step in now, then the overall quality of Team Rocket is never going to get any better."

"I trust the grunts to do what it takes to redeem themselves this time."

"How foolish!"

"We are Team Rocket... Our only connection is a ruthless, evil bond!"
