Team Rocket Edition - fun twist or gimmick?

It holds up. It's a FireRed base where you join as a new recruit and run missions for the team, so you see Red's story from the wrong side of it, and that framing is most of the fun. You steal pokemon off trainers instead of catching normally, which changes how you build a team. Last time I played it was a complete story with a proper ending, not an abandoned demo. Writing is better than it has any right to be for a hack.
