Talk:Executive (Trainer class)

This seems to have enough content in order to be its own article. ^Maverick_Nate 01:23, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

I beg to differ... ^ht14 22:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree. This is information that could be much desired in the actual Rocket Executives and Administrators article. That one is much lacking information, while this one has it, but no battle stats like that one does. They should be merged.Satosuke 18:01, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Lance

Lance? A Rocket Executive? This must be a mistake, no? Or did I miss something?Satosuke 14:41, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

My Bad. Of course - Wataru is not an executive, but apparently there's a new guy Lance as well in the Japanese version. Silly me, jumping to conclusions because of a same name in different language versions...Satosuke 14:43, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I dun think they will call Rocket Executive Lance as Lance in the English version. Maybe other name to not confuse players and/or fans. Wataru is still the Champion of Johto!--Ruixiang95 09:25, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Merging?

I think merging will wait till HeartGold/SoulSilver's tema is comfirmed. But it will be too long. I think it's best to put it like this.

2 or 4 in G/S/C?

This is just too confusing. This article says there are only two in G/S/C, yet each of the articles on the four from HG/SS say that all four are present in G/S/C. So are there 2 or 4 in G/S/C? --HoennMaster 02:45, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

That's stupid... Apollo and Athena both have more than one G/S/C battle, but Lambda and Lance don't. R.A. Hunter Blade 12:43, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

That's because they all had same sprites. If you read the other articles closely, you'd see that. Even if Lance's appearance is pretty unclear (because he got merged with the grunt from Slowpoke Well, which doesn't prevent him from being the same Executive from GSC). In Lambda's case, however, it's pretty obvious. He appears in the same places and same Pokémon. Even if the creators didn't intend him to look like that in Gen. II, now they do and this is canon. Really, you should stop thinking that everything that looks like a change must be a retcon. It's actually a good explanation of an ambiguous element in GSC. There was obviously three different male Executives (and one female, no problem here) with no identity and no names, who were given names and own designs in Gen. IV. If you played GSC closely and didn't just sweep them, without noticing who they are, you would see that they can't be one and the same Executive (they would have to be bilocal). The Executive situation in GSC was ambiguous enough, we didn't know who they were at all. HGSS EXPLAINED it, expanded the plot on, if you played both games closely, you'd see that NOTHING IS RETCONNED (except Lance and Slowpoke Well grunt "merged"). Also the fact that the article stated that they were two Executives was just a misconception. I simply forgot to edit this article. We should have a policy on "never believe the other article if two article contradict". I've seen really MANY instances of REAL information being "corrected" just because two articles contradicted and someone assumed that article X is right, while article Y is wrong (in fact, it was opposite). Bulbapedia should never be a source for itself. --Maxim 13:23, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Besides, who in their right mind would think there really were only two Executives in total in Generation II? If "the" male were posing as the Director and "the" female were guarding the broadcast booth, then who's in the broadcast booth running the jamming signal? By the reasoning of anyone that actually believed there were exactly two Rocket Executives in the Generation II games, there was probably only one Bug Catcher, one Youngster, one Lass, one Beauty, and so on and so forth in Generation I days...--Shiningpikablu252 14:35, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

You actually think that the kids these games are aimed for actually took time to think about that? Definitely not. --HoennMaster 18:10, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
