'''Pokémon Team Turbo''' is a Pokémon spinoff game designed for PCs, produced by [[ValuSoft]].  It features 6 racing courses and 5 minigames that can be played to earn powerups for races. The game is not very well made, as there is no depth or replay value at all, there is only one music file, and some files can easily be changed such as the music and credits. Also, in every possible instance [[Rayquaza]] is misspelled as "Rayquayza", either indicating a rush to make it or a lack of knowledge of the franchise. This messes some things up, as when you need to collect letters for boosts in races there are two Ys which may be confusing, and more confusing is that it has the spelling in the crossword as well. From the main menu, one can choose to do any of the 6 races (without powerups from minigames), any of the 5 minigames, or do an "Adventure Mode" in which you do the races in order, with minigames in between each to earn you extra powerups.
