Welcome to Pokémon: Giovanni Origins
In this story, set roughly 20 years before the events of Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue,
you play as the childhood friend of Team Rocket Boss Giovanni.
Growing up in Saffron City, you and Giovanni will traverse Kanto and Johto together, challenging for gym badges
and championships along the way. You will witness first hand the backstory of Giovanni,
watching from the sidelines as your friend ventures down a dark path, turning to a life of crime.
As you explore Kanto and Johto, you will see the vast difference 20 years can make to a region.
You will find characters and references to the future games hidden everywhere you look.
Enjoy exploring the Pokémon world long before the stories of legendary Pokémon trainers such as Red and Blue.
... and if you are Team Rocket inclined yourself, you can now train your very own Dark Pokémon!
