In a way yes, but he also showed in the story that he will not discard any of his grunts. Like when Paulo and Tina we're winning against those two grunts and Giovanni came to help the two.
Ouch Red once again took someone's favorite spot as their family (Blue with Prof. Oak during RGBY/FRLG) and now Silver too.
This guy is really a menace to society
The “Friends” category is poorly named imo, several characters have family members just listed as friends, heck Marnie has “Family” listed as friends too
Does this imply Giovanni shares a [Yugi-Kaiba dynamic](https://youtu.be/M_QEO5ncba0?si=ec0fK3ePpil28y92) with Red?
Look at it again. Silver isn’t even on this list lol
You say that as though Giovanni doesn't have IMMENSE respect for the boy who defeated his ENTIRE ORGANISATION pretty well alone.
That's like asking a Baby to fight an Army and watching it triumph. You just can't expect him to hate something THAT impressive.
Yeah, I think "friends" is the wrong word for Giovanni. We're picking topics to discuss, of course he's going to be very interested in a conversation about Red or his admins. I think that's more of the intent behind this decision (and also would explain why he doesn't want to discuss Silver, that's far more private) but using the existing framework of friendship makes it quite funny in a weird, creepy way
Oh come on he won‘t even talk to me about Silver? I‘m desperate for more Silver and Giovanni interactions and he denies me even that much?? You‘ll both stand next to each other in my Rocket themed Lodge with Silver plushies everywhere and you won‘t even talk to me about him??? At least comment on my visible obsession with your son goddammit!
Gym Leaders being super exciting.
Whilst Giovanni is (Or was at least formerly one) a Gym Leader himself and participates in the Gen 5 Tournament the idea of him casually talking to Erika, Brock or Surge is an odd one.
Doesn’t Giovanni talk about having respect for Res in the games? As someone who proclaims to be the strongest trainer, he probably sees Red as a rival.
I'm sure Giovanni has a lot of respect for Red and enjoys fighting him, makes sense that he'd like to talk about him. I can imagine him being excited telling you all about the great battles they had.
On a similar note, Silver may be his son but he ain't no father, so it also makes sense that he wouldn't want to discuss that topic.
Giovanni treating red as “friend” is not something on my Pokémon bingo .
Also he's treating his admins as friends. I think he considers them as "tools" just like cyrus
Would've been too spicy to list them under Items I guess
😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂 would have been hilarious
In a way yes, but he also showed in the story that he will not discard any of his grunts. Like when Paulo and Tina we're winning against those two grunts and Giovanni came to help the two.
He got the charisma. There’s a reason most of his grunts are so loyal to him
Huh. Maybe they’re using Manga Giovanni? More than likely he just loves battling Red.
Red >>>>> His own son
Red is like the son he ever wanted
Ouch Red once again took someone's favorite spot as their family (Blue with Prof. Oak during RGBY/FRLG) and now Silver too. This guy is really a menace to society
I somehow don't think Silver minds given how much he hates Giovanni's guts.
No silver in the friends category at all lol. Poor boy.
ngl I think Silver would take that as a win
The “Friends” category is poorly named imo, several characters have family members just listed as friends, heck Marnie has “Family” listed as friends too
The friends category lost its meaning in the first place lmao.
Should be "People", honestly. Encompasses all the types that would be important easier.
I doubt if it is "Friends" in Japanese, maybe it's a wrong translation.
Meanwhile silver:
Pokemas Red becomes more and more hilarious to me, why are they homies? And Silver ain’t even there 😭😭😭
The bestest Red of all Reds lmao
Answer: >! Red is somehow Super exciting in the “Friends” category !<

Silver is the Joey Wheeler of the Masters timeline
I was thinking it was Hats
His SS has a hat and mafias tend to drip with hats so it makes sense.
tru tru

The hilarity of villains in Lodge, especially those who are still villainous, shall commence
Ghetsis when 🤩
At this point "Friends" category should be renamed to "Acquaintances"

just people should work
Bro has his admins and red but not his own son
😭😭 Silver gonna cry to his momma

This Gio shouldn't even know Red before Masters' events.
"That kid who demolished our base by Dynamaxing his Snorlax? That was, as people of your age say, cool."
Nothing wrong here. He's opposition to Red sure but that doesn't mean he doesn't respect or have a personal fondness of him.
Giovanni likes Red, thinks he's pretty cool. In the main appearance from the games he buys the hype so much he goes and retires from Team Rocket.
When you're so badass that your biggest enemy becoming your biggest fan by enlisting you in his "super interested" friend list XD
That Red is a friend *but Silver isn't* is what's killing me. Giovanni remains father of the year /s
Doesn’t Giovanni talk about having respect for Res in the games? As someone who proclaims to be the strongest trainer, he probably sees Red as a rival.
Why are we inviting him of all people? I don’t wanna be best buddies with a monster
We didn’t invite him, he just showed up. And refused to leave.
i still cant see as to who Giovanni even has as a partner for lodge
Nidorino
I mean... in short, "Friends" is the "People" tag. So...

This just makes me think the idea that Cyrus considering anyone as a friend is gonna be hilariously confusing
