Team Rocket executives and administrators are, as their title suggests, high-ranking members of Team Rocket. In some cases, they are subordinates of Giovanni, but upon his absence, they become the leaders themselves.

In the games

Like Team Rocket Grunts, the Rocket Executives and Admins are considered a Trainer class. They are the leaders of Team Rocket when Giovanni is gone.

Pokémon Yellow

There aren't any distinct Rocket Executives in Generation I, however, both Jessie and James appear in Pokémon Yellow as "something higher than grunts", guarding the room where Giovanni waits in the Rocket Hideout and Silph Co.. However, they are unnamed in this game, being referred to simply as "ROCKET," since trainers were not given names until Generation II.

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

In a money-making scheme, the Rocket administrators send grunts to the Slowpoke Well to harvest the tails of Slowpoke to sell. Later, the Rockets build a base near the Lake of Rage that utilizes a high-frequency sound that influences Pokémon evolution, then in one last try to contact Giovanni they and the grunts take over the Goldenrod Radio Tower. Players fight and defeat administrators at both the Mahogany Town Hideout and the Goldenrod Radio Tower. When the final Rocket executive is defeated, he announces that he will disband Team Rocket, as Giovanni did three years before.

In the Sevii Islands, the Rocket administrators face players before they battle Gideon for the Sapphire. The female administrator is battled before going into the male administrator's room. She objects that Team Rocket is not disbanded, but after a battle, admits that it probably is and as a final act, turns off the floor so that the player can go back and heal. After defeating the male administrator, he sees the player's Earth Badge and realizes that the Viridian-based Team Rocket has disbanded; he then tells the player that he will find Giovanni and revive Team Rocket.

It is very likely that the Rocket administrators are the same people as the Rocket executives in Generation II, as hinted by the similarity in their teams. Further clues include the male administrator's determination to revive Team Rocket after he is defeated, as well as the information given on the computer screen which the Rocket administrator was working on (it says "The influence of magnetic waves on Pokémon evolution"). This is linked to what happened in Generation II, when Team Rocket used radio waves to evolve the Magikarp at Lake of Rage.

In the anime

It is unknown whether or not there are executives as present in the games and manga, as Giovanni is still in control of the organization. Instead, the anime tends to focus much more on higher-ranking Team Rocket members such as Domino and Vicious, who are field agents rather than administrators. Annie and Oakley were also inclusive to the ranks of Team Rocket, but this was only in the dub.

In the manga

Pokémon Special

Red/Blue/Green saga

Lt. Surge, Koga, and Sabrina are Team Rocket executives. Blaine, previously an executive, left the organization because of problems with Mewtwo. In the Yellow saga, the executives were recalled by Giovanni after he saw a battle between Lance and Yellow and realized he still had much to learn.

Gold/Silver/Crystal saga

Executives are replaced by two sub-leaders, Chermaine and Keane, while the real Leader is the Mask of Ice. Their designs are based on Executives from games.
