Pokémon Villain Jam
This RPG strips away the cutesy facade of Pokémon, placing you in the shoes of a Team Rocket grunt trying to make a name for themselves. Combat is turn-based, but victory hinges on clever team compositions and exploiting elemental weaknesses, just like in the mainline games. The real meat lies in the story, though; the writing is sharp, funny, and surprisingly poignant, offering an irreverent deconstruction of the Pokémon formula that's hard to put down.
