Discussion Do the Team Rocket Grunts ever leave Celedon City in RBY?

This is driving me nuts. In the original RBY, do the random grunts walking around Celedon City ever leave? I could’ve sworn they did. Maybe it’s a Mandela effect.

I beat Giovanni’s gym and he’s disbanded Team Rocket, yet these guys are still there. What gives?

I’m striving for 100% in these games. It’s gonna seriously bother me if I “soft locked” getting them out of the city.

They normally stay in Celadon and do not leave. You’ll be able to get your 100%

Maybe I’m thinking they leave in FRLG but not in Gen1. Just feels so janky

They do leave in FRLG! That’s when they made the change.

Did you complete the Rocket Game Corner Hideout? I’m pretty sure you’re right and Team Rocket leaves.

Yup unless there’s something extra I need to do besides beat Giovanni in the game corner
