* In the official Red and Blue guide from [[Nintendo Power]], Giovanni was labeled to be a regional boss of Team Rocket (implying he's not the absolute leader). This was invalidated in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, where it was made clear that Giovanni was the absolute leader of Team Rocket (even having an [[Team Rocket HQ|office in Johto]]).

* Giovanni is likely based on the boss of a {{wp|Yakuza}} faction, possibly more on the {{wp|bakuto}} factions than others, considering [[Team Rocket]]'s former ownership of the [[Celadon Game Corner]]. Outside of Japan, this reference is localized, making him more akin to a {{wp|Mafia}} boss (especially considering his English name being Italian in origin).

* In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Giovanni and [[Norman]] are tied for using more different species of Pokémon than any other Gym Leader at the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], with a total of 10.
