>>50434137The Rocket Executives were a trainer class, so they were mostly interchangable (Ariana being the exception since I'm pretty sure the female Executive is the same one both times).
When HGSS came around, most of the executives were merged into three males, with Archer being the only one to retain the original design. Archer's lack of presence is primarily because he is specifically based on the final Executive at the Radio Tower while Proton and Petrel are based on all the others.
