In the core series games

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

Team Rocket HQ

• Before battle

"Hold it right there! We can't have a brat like you on the loose. It's harmful to Team Rocket's pride, you see. However strong you may be, you can't take both of us at the same time. Sorry, baby. Now get ready to be thrashed."

"What? You had an accomplice? Where is your sense of honor? As the interim boss in place of Giovanni, I'll show you how wrong it is to meddle with Team Rocket!"

• Being defeated

"Tch, you really are strong. It's too bad. If you were to join Team Rocket, you could become an Executive."

• After being defeated

"…This hideout is done for… But that's fine. The broadcast experiment was a total success. It doesn't matter what happens to this hideout now. We have much bigger plans. You'll come to appreciate Team Rocket's true power soon enough. Enjoy yourself while you can… Fufufufu…"

Goldenrod Radio Tower

• Before battle

"Hi, little boy.^GS Remember me from the Hideout in Mahogany Town? I lost then, but I won't this time."

• Being defeated

"This can't be happening! I fought hard, but I still lost…"

• If talked to after battle

"<player>, isn't it? A brat like you won't appreciate the magnificence of Team Rocket. That's too bad. I really admire your power."

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen

Rocket Warehouse

• Before battle

"I don't know or care if what I'm doing is right or wrong... I just put my faith in Giovanni and do as I am told."

• Being defeated

"I... I'm shattered..."

• After being defeated

"You're doing things according to your beliefs and morals. I understand now..."

"I've made it so you can come back in through there. Why don't you go get rested and refreshed for what lies ahead? The Admin after me outranks me thoroughly as a Trainer. You'd better steel yourself for one harsh challenge."

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Team Rocket HQ

• Before battle

"Hold it right there!"

"We can't let a brat like you do as you please forever. It'll hurt Team Rocket's pride over and over again. Making it lessen, you see. …So, it's time to finish you. However strong you may be, if the two of us fight at the same time, you'll have no chance of winning. Don't you agree? Hee hee hee! Sorry, baby. Now, get ready to be thrashed."

"What? You had an accomplice? Where is your sense of dignity? As interim boss in the place of Giovanni, I'll show you how wrong it is to meddle with Team Rocket!"

• Being defeated

"Tch, you really are strong. It's too bad. If you were to join Team Rocket, you could become an Executive."

• After being defeated

"But that's fine. The broadcast experiment was a total success. It doesn't matter what happens to this hideout now. We have much bigger plans. You'll come to appreciate Team Rocket's true power soon enough. Enjoy yourself while you can… Hee hee hee…."

Goldenrod Radio Tower

• Before battle

"Hey, you… Remember me from the hideout in Mahogany Town? This time… Hee hee hee. This time… it looks like you're really all alone. All alone… So it should be quite easy. Bring it! Let's finish this!"

• After sending out last Pokémon

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?!"

• Last Pokémon low on health

"Wh… Wha… Why are you so strong?!"

• Being defeated

"Aaaieeeee! This can't be happening! I fought hard, but I still lost…"

• After being defeated

"What a waste… not to use your strength to do bad things! Feh… People like you will never in a million years understand our brilliance! It's too bad… I've really come to respect your strength."

"I'm prepared to devote everything I have to Giovanni."

• Random conversation
