::I believe the debate was over what exactly qualifies as "red hair." After that clue was revealed there was a lot of speculation, reaching as far as [[Blue]] (Because the FRLG art of blue has that orange/brown kinda hair.) and [[Misty]], there was even minor speculation that [[Jessie]] could be the kid (this was short lived seeing as she is an Anime only character, [[Pokémon Yellow]] being the exception.) So from that branched the debate of what "red hair" is exactly. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 07:28, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

::::::Okay, so here are the main arguments I can see for splitting those sections off. Adventures: Major antagonist of the RGB chapter, helps Yellow out against Lance in the Yellow chapter, Major protagonist again in the FRLG chapter. Anime: Major antagonist of [[Mewtwo Returns]] and has regular cameo appearances (''not'' including the boss fantasies). For arguments against, it basically comes down to whether his roles in the different media are separate enough for individual pages.

== Error ==
In the Trivia section of this page, it says Giovanni is the only Kanto gym leader to not appear in every generation Kanto appeared in. I've never played a Generation 1 game, but on the [[Janine]] page there is no mention that she appeared in generation 1, and she was a Kanto gym leader. Does anybody know if that statement about Giovanni is true? --[[User:Jelloratbob|Jelloratbob]] 20:59, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

: I agree he should. He's appeared countless times throughout the series, so he should get his own article. Especially if Best Wishes is bringing back his appearances. [[User:In A Manica|In A Manica]] 14:16, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

::::::::Please stop making assumptions everyone. While huge pages ''aren't'' a large strain on the server, they are a problem for those with slower internet connections, and certain browser/OS combinations. As a result, some of them have requested that it be split. However for it to be split, it would have to be decided that the resultant articles would all be a) Notable in their own right and b) sufficiently different. Most of the admins I've spoken to believe that it currently fails those tests. If any section was split off, it would probably be the adventures section first - he has a greater role there than in the anime. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 01:38, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

I also agree that the manga section can be split off especially since he has played an important role in three different chapters. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 05:42, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
 
== Same VA? ==
 
I don't know if anyone was paying much attention to the English dub of the Best Wishes series, but Giovanni's voice really sounds different from when he was last in the anime.

"In Pokémon Adventures, Giovanni is the only evil team leader who is still alive after his exploits.
However, characters may not consider Pryce, Maxie, Archie, or Cyrus to be dead, since they were last seen disappearing into Time and Space."
 
I think you are forgetting the fact that Archie admitted killing Maxie during the Emerald saga, unless you mean "immediately death".[[User:LurKasumi|LurKasumi]] 17:43, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia fact ==
 
I thought of a good trivia fact.
 
'''Giovanni is the only Gym Leader who is also a boss of a villianous organization.'''
 
[[User:Chrisbulb|Christian]] ([[User talk:Chrisbulb|talk]]) 00:44, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
 
:I actually think this trivia is pretty weak. We might as well add to Koga's page "Koga is the only Gym Leader who is a ninja". It's just too...specific. I mean, there's really no reason why there SHOULD be more than one Gym Leader who's also the boss of a villainous organization. As a result, I've decided to remove the trivia, though if someone disagrees it can always be re-added, of course.
