||
⚫ | Giovanni first appeared in ''[[Pokémon Red and Green Version|Red, Green]]'', ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue Version|Blue]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition|Yellow]]'' as the Leader of Team Rocket. After he and his Team Rocket Grunts were defeated at both the Rocket Hideout and [[Silph Co.]], Giovanni escapes to an unknown hideout where the protagonist is unaware of. Eventually, it was revealed that he was the Gym Leader of the Viridian Gym, and the final Gym Leader the player faces. Upon defeating him, Giovanni states that he's giving up on Team Rocket, subsequently disbands the organization, and disappears, and is not seen again for the rest of the game. |

Also, instead of passing the protagonist the TM ([[Fissure]]), he passes them the TM ([[Earthquake]]). At the Sevii Islands, a group of renegade Team Rocket Grunts and Admins attempt to continue their schemes but are defeated by the protagonist. |

After being foiled by the protagonist, the new Team Rocket took over the Goldenrod Radio Tower to contact their missing leader but are once again defeated. Archer then disbands Team Rocket forever, much like his leader three years ago. |
It was later revealed during the Celebi Event that Giovanni heard the broadcast from his radio in his hideout in [[Tohjo Falls]]. After being defeated, he disappears. |

During the event, it was also revealed that [[Silver (game)|Silver]] was Giovanni's son who was abandoned by his father when he met his defeat at the hands of Red. This act reflects on Giovanni's selfishness, something that the much more ruthless [[Giovanni (Adventures)|Giovanni]] in the manga would not do. |

- "So! I must say, I am impressed you got here. Team Rocket captures Pokémon from around the world. They're important tools for keeping our criminal enterprise going. I am the leader, Giovanni! For your insolence, you will feel a world of pain!"
- — Giovanni in FireRed and LeafGreen
Giovanni doubles as the Gym Leader for Viridian City's Gym, and as the Boss of the criminal organization Team Rocket. As the Gym Leader, Giovanni holds the Earth Badge for the trainers that defeat him, and specializes in Ground-type Pokémon.
In the Generation II games, Giovanni has disappeared inexplicably after his final loss to Red, leaving Team Rocket disorganized and confused.

Personality
Biography
Games
Red, Green, Blue and Yellow
Giovanni first appeared in Red, Green, Blue and Yellow as the Leader of Team Rocket. After he and his Team Rocket Grunts were defeated at both the Rocket Hideout and Silph Co., Giovanni escapes to an unknown hideout where the protagonist is unaware of. Eventually, it was revealed that he was the Gym Leader of the Viridian Gym, and the final Gym Leader the player faces. Upon defeating him, Giovanni states that he's giving up on Team Rocket, subsequently disbands the organization, and disappears, and is not seen again for the rest of the game.
Gold, Silver and Crystal
Later on, in Gold, Silver and Crystal, Team Rocket has reorganized, now functioning without Giovanni, and believes that he will return. The lost Team Rocket attempts several acts, in order to call their former Leader, though he never makes an appearance.
FireRed and LeafGreen
In FireRed and LeafGreen, Giovanni retains his first role in exactly the same way, with the exception of his updated appearance. Also, instead of passing the protagonist the TM (Fissure), he passes them the TM (Earthquake). At the Sevii Islands, a group of renegade Team Rocket Grunts and Admins attempt to continue their schemes but are defeated by the protagonist.
HeartGold and SoulSilver
In HeartGold and SoulSilver, another branch of Team Rocket led by Executive Archer attempt to relaunch the team by committing several acts such as at the Slowpoke Well and the Lake of Rage. After being foiled by the protagonist, the new Team Rocket took over the Goldenrod Radio Tower to contact their missing leader but are once again defeated. Archer then disbands Team Rocket forever, much like his leader three years ago.
It was later revealed during the Celebi Event that Giovanni heard the broadcast from his radio in his hideout in Tohjo Falls. After being defeated, he disappears.
During the event, it was also revealed that Silver was Giovanni's son who was abandoned by his father when he met his defeat at the hands of Red. This act reflects on Giovanni's selfishness, something that the much more ruthless Giovanni in the manga would not do.
Black 2 and White 2
In Black 2 and White 2, he appears at the World Tournament mode wearing his Celebi event outfit.

Trivia
- Giovanni's name may come from the word GEO for the first part of his name. Geo is Greek for Earth and this is because he is a Ground type trainer.
- It may also be a pun on how most 20's and 30's American gang members had Italian names like Alfonso (Al) Capone. Giovanni is an English-Italian name and is a gang leader himself.
- Giovanni's outfit in Generation IV and V seems to be based on a general's uniform.
- In Pokémon Yellow, Giovanni replaced Kangaskhan with Persian since Yellow was based on the anime.
- He may be inspired by the villain of James Bond series, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. In Bond films and novels, Blofeld leads his own criminal organization, the S.P.E.C.T.R.E., to become rich and reign on the world. As a companion, Blofeld has a cat.
- In the Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Celebi event, your rival is found out to be the son of Giovanni.
- Giovanni's Generation I sprite has shown Giovanni with something that looks like a mustache, although Giovanni doesn't have a mustache. This could, however, simply be the shadow from his nose.
- The first time Ash Ketchum ever met Giovanni was in The Battle Of The Badge, when he challenged Giovanni at the Viridian City gym, also in the same episode Giovanni is seen out of the shadows for the first time. The two have never seen each other again until the Pokémon Special "Mewtwo Returns." After that the latest appearance with Giovanni meeting Ash was in Meloetta and the Undersea Temple! and Unova's Survival Crisis! in Unova.
- Also in the same episode, his identity has been shown since the 15th episode that his identity would not be blown.
- Giovanni's Japanese name, Sakaki was the name of the leader of Rocket Reds, a gang which bullied the creator of Pokémon, and the one who killed Satoshi's tadpole, Nyorozo.
- He is considered to be the main antagonist of the entire Pokémon franchise.
- In the Celebi event, Silver is Giovanni's son. However in the anime this relationship is absent or not mentioned in the anime.
