Executive (Trainer class): Difference between revisions

Line 32: Line 32:
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, two higher-ranking members of Team Rocket appear in command of the [[Rocket Warehouse]]. They seem to be two of the [[Ariana|same]] [[Archer|members]] who would head the Team in Johto three years later. Here, their Trainer class was changed to '''Team Rocket''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだん''' ''Team Rocket'') in order to remain identical with the Grunts', whose sprites they also shared. However, they are both given the name '''Admin''' (Japanese: '''かんぶ''' ''Executive'').

In the Rocket Warehouse, the female Team Rocket Admin is battled before going into the male administrator's room. She objects that Team Rocket is not disbanded, but after a battle, admits that it probably is and as a final act, turns off the floor so that the player can go back and heal. After defeating the male Team Rocket Admin, he sees the player's {{badge|Earth Badge}} and realizes that the [[Viridian City]]-based Team Rocket has disbanded; he then tells the player that he will find [[Giovanni]] and revive Team Rocket.

The Team Rocket Admins are the same people as the Rocket executives in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, as hinted by the similarity in their teams and the male administrator's determination to revive Team Rocket after he is defeated, as well as the information given on the computer screen which the Rocket administrator was working on ("The influence of magnetic waves on Pokémon evolution"). This is linked to what happened in Generations II and IV, when Team Rocket used radio waves to evolve the {{p|Magikarp}} at [[Lake of Rage]].
