Japanese Name?
For such an important character in the games, and one that the forums have most definitely picked apart his dialogue for the proofs of Silver being the son of Sakaki, it's somewhat astounding that his article doesn't have his Japanese name included. Satosuke 21:01, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- His importance is of lesser extent to the Elite Four, the Professors, the Champion, etc. is my best guess. --PsychicRider☮ 21:05, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, it's lesser to those characters, and there are a ton of important characters in DPPt, but in FRLG, he's one of the most important new additions, even more so that the two admins who only appear once (however, those admins are important in that they take over the organization in GSC). But Gideon practically drives the events of the Sevii Quest. What I was implying, though, is that someone should go find it. I'm going to see if I can find that thread that talked about "Sakaki's kid has red hair", because it might mention his Japanese name. Satosuke 21:13, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
- Found it on Giovanni's page. It's スミオ, or Sumio. Adding it. Satosuke 21:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Youtube video
I saw a youtube video in which his electrode used charge, which is not in the moveset.--Glispoleon 03:20, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- If that is so... can you tell us the link in which this evidence is seen? ht14 05:40, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Infobox Image
I feel like he should have a different image for the infobox than just the Scientist sprite from FRLG. Of course, there's not exactly a lot of fanart for this character at the moment...-- The Last Wishiwashi (talk) 08:15, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- Bulbapedia only uses official artwork, so the sprite we have is best we can have for a Scientist in FR/LG. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 08:37, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
Is it taboo for the Gen IV scientist art to be used for a gen III scientist? The male scientist art does resemble Gideon's overworld sprite...--The Last Wishiwashi (talk) 09:35, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
- Not a taboo, but it just isn't from the same generation, so no using that. --FinnishPokéFan92 (talk) 09:47, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
Team Rocket Affiliation
While Gideon is affiliated with Team Rocket, he is not an official member and clearly doesn't care whether Team Rocket's plans work out fine so long as he gets paid. I think that the Team Rocket affiliation in the infobox should stay, but should read along the lines of: "MEMBER OF: Team Rocket (associate, not official member)".--The Last Wishiwashi (talk) 09:59, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
