[Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels

[Dragonstrike]

Interesting Fun Fact: In Pokemon Adventures, Giovanni apparently owns a Beedrill that he'd caught as a young trainer, and it's one of his strongest team members in that canon, plus it's capable of Mega Evolution (and the only one of his pokemon in all of the existing canons that's actually mega evolved so far).

Not sure how much canon mixing we're gonna do as far as the anime, Adventures manga, and games go, but I thought this was quite the interesting tidbit about Giovanni. Just happened to skim across that when reading Beedrill's page on Bulbapedia. Did a little more reading after that, and he has an interesting variety of non-ground pokemon at his disposal across those three canons. Cloyster, Machamp, Kingler, Crobat (primarily for transport), Aggron, Kangaskhan, his usual Persian, Honchkrow...he even apparently started his trainer career with a Charmander according to Origins. And has a Tauros and a Gengar if we also throw Stadium in the mix.

Oh, and according to the anime, Giovanni's mother was apparently the previous boss of Team Rocket. Dang. Didn't expect to be looking into Giovanni this much when I was originally only looking at Beedrill's page.
