* ChekhovsGun: While James did not consider the possibility of Team Rocket losing against Ash, Meowth did, so he had set up a remote control detonator to interrupt the battle in case things went wrong. Meowth tries to activate it once Ash starts getting the upper hand, but Gary stops him. After Meowths drops the remote, it remains forgotten on the ground until the end of the match, when Jessie refuses to give Ash the badge despite his victory... but Togepi finds the remote and decides to play with it. She presses the green button and sends Team Rocket blasting off, and Jessie accidentally drops the badge in the process.

His status as Team Rocket's boss aside, he uses an unknown Pokemon that cannot be identified by any Pokè Dex and is not sent out by a Pokè Ball like regular Pokemon against unsuspecting trainers and he has that Pokemon ''physically harm'' the trainers. This goes against legal conduct for a Gym Leader but Giovanni somehow manages to keep Mewtwo's existence and his usage of it a secret.
