'''TRsRockin''' is a website that focuses on Pokémon [[glitch]]es and contains information on Team Rocket from the early seasons of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It is a website for looking up Pokémon glitches, most commonly the [[Missingno.]] glitch. The site also contains glitches found in other video games, as well as a section for articles on NES games and merchandise.  One of the site's main philosophies is to create "a family-friendly site that anyone can enjoy". The name of the website is derived from a line from the [[2.B.A. Master]] song "[[Double Trouble]]", '''T'''eam '''R'''ocket''''s''' '''Rockin'''.

==History==
The site was started back in mid-December, 2000 by designer/graphic artist Mandy Nader (also known as TR Rose). She was learning HTML and needed a way to practice. The site started as an information site about ''[[Pokémon Live!]]'', because not many had been around at the time. She then added information on [[Team Rocket]] to the site, because she had "always liked Team Rocket best of the Pokémon characters".

Later, still eager for her site to expand, she began researching the [[Missingno.]] glitches, and reported on her findings through her website. She opened the "Tales from the Glitch" section of her site, the most popular to date. There are over 450 pages on her website, with all kinds of information relating to Pokémon, as well as other video games, and the site is still expanding.

In February 2011, TR Rose decided to close down the site, and is now focusing on her new website, MeowAbout Cosplay.

The most popular part of her website at the time, this section takes in submitted accounts of glitches encountered in any of the main Pokémon games.

It then continued with visitor accounts of Missingno., including screenshots submitted.

There was a cosplay section of the site. It incoporates not only Pokémon-themed cosplays, such as [[Team Rocket]] cosplays, but also many others such as {{wp|Silent Hill}}, {{wp|Final Fantasy}}, and  {{smw|Mario (series)|Mario series}}. The people in these costumes are usually former webmaster Mandy Nader, as well as her husband, Lee Nader.
