[edit] Giovani?

Giovanni is spelled as Giovani in Pokémon Stadium (see screenshot on this page) but as Giovanni in Pokémon Yellow.

That's because of technical limitations in Stadium -- characters can only have seven letters in their names (hence why "Lt. Surge" was changed to "Surge" and "Bug Catcher" was changed to "Bug Boy"). EllipsesBent 17:46, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "obviously with red hair"

Where does this statement come from and why is it supposedly so obvious? --User:Dcomings 18:52, June 23, 2005

From FireRed and LeafGreen. A Rocket Grunt in Team Rocket's base in the Sevii Islands asks the player "You're not Giovanni's kid, are you? No, Giovanni's kid has red hair." This quotation is also recorded in the Fame Checker. (By the way, some theorise Giovanni's red-haired kid is the rival from Gold and Silver). I believe the word "obviously" was used in reference to Giovanni's hair approaching a colour similar to red.Sinistro 20:23, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ah. I'd never gotten that far in FireRed. Thanks. --User:Dcomings 22:39, June 30, 2005

Yet in the art of the games (in which the statement is made), Giovanni has dark hair. This would mean the mother had reddish hair (there is a complicated series of genes that determine hair colour, but I don't have absolute information on them right now). This means his kid's mom should have red hair, should she not? However, this of course leads only to more speculation. Also, people can have more than one child, especially if they are a crime boss without morals.

[edit] Persian

I like to think that Giovanni's Persian is his faithful friend and pet cat. He (Persian) always protects his master, brings in dead Raticates and Pidgeys, and sleeps on his master's bed. Whenever the boss is feeling down, Persian always comes and makes him feel better. 71.111.209.99 13:40, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unseen?

How can he be unseen if there's a picture in the article? 69.91.106.248 03:57, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mewtwo.

Mewtwo is not Giovanni's Pokémon, more his minion, just like Meowth is Jessie and James' assistant/minion as opposed to their Pokémon. It is never witnessed that Mewtwo was captured, and should be assumed that he was not put into a Pokéball. - A Link to the Past (talk) 23:02, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
