>boss of an organization from Kanto>took care of Corbeau when he was a kidIt'd be cool if it was Giovanni, but Giovanni doesn't strike me as the type who'd be knowledgeable about Johto and Hoenn's legends.
>>58736135They don't just add lines like that in reference to unseen characters. There's no reason to specifically mention a crime boss without some supporting text. They could've just said it was Lysandre if they wanted to tie it up with a bow. It's clearly in reference to the Kanto crime boss we've met, the same Kanto crime boss who funded research for cloning a legendary Pokemon. Literacy is fucking dead.
...i thought lysandre was the one that helped corbeau out
>>58736159Gio took care of him as a tyke. Lysandre took him in as an adolescent.
>>58736159This. It makes shit sense that both Giovanni and Lysandre helped him, who the fuck wrote this?
>>58736135They're referencing a new character from the upcoming Switch 2 exclusive Red and Blue remakes being announced on Pokemon Day (screencap this)
How old is Corbeau supposed to be? Because the timeline is wack here unless Corbeau is supposed to be like thirty or something.And since when has Giovanni given a shit about the myths and legends of Johto? And Hoenn? Has Giovanni ever mentioned Hoenn once in his entire life?
>>58736205He literally said Lysandre helped him as a child in the base game.
>>58736209Don't will that into existence you retard
>>58736218It makes sense if you subscribe to the theory that Giovanni and Team Rocket were involved in the creation of Mewtwo.In the context of Gen 1, the point of Mewtwo was to create the "world's most powerful" Pokemon, but retroactively, it'd make sense if the scientists behind Mewtwo were aware of other region's myths and legends and were inspired by them to create a Pokemon of similar power
>>58736239>This piece of hamfisted writing makes sense if you subscribe to fanfiction and schizobabbleNot helping the case there.
>>58736233He described trying to make his way in the city and failing, and that's when Lysandre found him. Contrast with being "taken care of" as a "little runt". Different stages of his life. It's consistent with Giovanni being a work-obsessed absent father. Lysandre is much more present and well intentioned.
>>58736135An alternate theory here but not one I necessarily follow, just posting it for posterity. When he says "took care of me when I was a little runt" this could be interpreted in the Yakuza sense of an older criminal showing a younger criminal the ropes.
>>58736245take your meds and read a book. I know what you are.
>Abandons his biological son>But for some reason raises this random literally who kid because ???This shit is straight out of a fanfiction self-insert OC.
>>58736135>First he's related to Lysandre>Now Giovanni They tried too hard with purple Avery
>>58736291Fanfic is when text references other text and presents inconsistencies or contradictions
>>58736311You are pretty dense, anon.
>>58736339You're a retard. You're acting like it's more likely for them to draw attention to an unseen, unnamed character whose function just as easily be done by Lysandre. That it's more unlikely for Giovanni to be mentioned in a way that contradicts the scant bit of characterization he's had.This unnamed character literally does what Lysandre did. There's zero reason to mention a second crime boss daddy if we have no context for who that character is. The line only works because we infer who the crime boss from Kanto is. Fucking retards.
>>58736362Once again, you're being very very dense.
This is getting ridiculous, GF was too lazy to think of a Lumiose or Kalosian sociopath to have raised Corbeau so went with uh uh Giovanni helped him hurr.
>>58736367How the fuck do you expect to insult someone with words when you're proudly illiterate?
>>58736371>when you're proudly illiterate?Ironic.
>>58736381What is the function of the text? Explain for the class. Why does that line exist in the script?
>>58736218Giovanni is a powerful yet secretive character, anon. You don't have to know everything about him. It makes sense for a powerful individual to be interested in powerful Pokemon. Anyways, I don't think Giovanni selected Corbeau individually and took care of him. He probably just made him into a regular Rocket Grunt and Corbeau idolized Giovanni as a young Grunt would. Corbeau was just a notch more intelligent than the average Grunt and took off early for his own success.It also explains Corbeau's interest in Poison types like Weezing since Koffing was a popular Rocket mon.
>>58736291Giovanni never abandoned Silver. Silver ran out on him for being weak and losing his criminal empire and motivation to a pair of 11 year olds.
>>58736408It also explains why Rust has Weezing statues, despite it being unobtainable in Kalos
>>58736409Giovanni left Silver after Red took down Team Rocket, with him vowing to rebuild Rocket. We see this played out during the HGSS Celebi scenario.
>why does Giovanni know about Johto and Hoenn's legends???My brother in christ have you seen how close to Kanto those two are located? It's like if some random guy from Kiloude City knew about Shalour's Tower of Mastery, why the fuck wouldn't he? They aren't that far away and it's all in the same country
>>58736135Oh shit! Giovanni operated in Hoenn too???
who groomed himI will fix him
>>58736135That's starwars levels of plot convenienceHe just happened to be mentored by 2 of the series villains in different countries
>>58736429>Giovanni left SilverExcept it was the other way around.
>>58736901I don't know how to tell you this anon but if your 9yo gets angry at you and leaves for three years (without a pokemon even, so the "trainers counts as adults" excuse doesn't work here) you are legally the one who abandoned his child.
>>58736135More to the point, we know Giovanni doesn't care to stick around and take care of kids.
>>58736209You joke about it, but with the mention of Johto and especially Hoenn, it sounds more like a preview for the antagonist group from the planned MMO Project Seed.
