You are quite hard to figure out–a little more intelligent than I’d expected. I am fond of intelligent people, you see.

You’re going to meddle in Team Aqua’s affairs? You’re either absolutely fearless, simply ignorant, or both! You’re so cute, you’re disgusting! I’ll put you down, kiddy!
Shelly, games (Emerald, Weather Institute)
I understand everything our leader says. But you know what? Doing stuff like digging up a super-ancient Pokémon and ripping off someone’s meteorite…I think we’re going a little too far. What do you think? [after losing to player] Yeah, I think we are doing something wrong somehow. [after battle] You know, losing to you cleared my mind. The next time I see our leader, I’m going to ask him about what we do.

Our boss says, ‘It will make everyone happy.’ But why does everyone keep getting in our way?

Team Aqua’s actions should bring smiles to people’s faces!

To the staff of the Space Center: How are you? We are doing fine. We will soon visit you to take your rocket fuel. Please don’t try to stop us. We will take the fuel no matter what. Let there be more land! – Team Magma
letter to the Mossdeep Space Center from Team Magma, games (Emerald)
Listen carefully. We stashed the real Director in the underground warehouse. It’s at the far end of the Goldenrod Tunnel. I am a nice guy. I will give you the Basement Key to get to the underground warehouse. Take it with gratitude!

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.
Ariana, games (HGSS, Team Rocket HQ)
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!
Archer, games (HGSS, Goldenrod Radio Tower)
A small obstacle like you won’t be much of a problem for our mission. I advise you to be very afraid of what is to come!
Proton, games (HGSS, Slowpoke Well)
I’m absolutely perfect! I AM PERFECTION! I am the perfect ruler of a perfect new world!
Ghetsis, games (BW, N’s Castle)
Humph! So you’re thinking of interfering with us, Team Magma? Now you listen. Long ago, living things used the land to live and grow. That is why land is all important! It is the cradle of all! That is why Team Magma is dedicated to the expansion of the land mass. It is for further advancement of humankind and Pokémon! And for that, we need the power of what sleeps within this mountain…
Maxie, games (Emerald, Mt. Chimney)
My old associates need me…We will not repeat the failure of three years ago! Team Rocket will be born again, and I will rule the world!
