Silver first appears in the [[Generation II]] games, lurking outside of [[Professor Elm]]'s lab, looking through the window. When talked to, he will deny everything and push the player away. During the player's journey to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, Silver makes his move, stealing one of Elm's two remaining [[starter Pokémon]] (coincidentally always the one that is strong against the player's choice). He will meet with the player on the outskirts of [[Cherrygrove City]], battling to get through. A policeman will later ask for the name of the rival, and the rival will be called the name the player gives for the rest of the game.

Silver shows a strong dislike of [[Team Rocket]]. He considers them to be weak, and vows to take them, as well as any other weak Trainer, down. He steals a {{p|Sneasel}} from a Trainer in [[Cianwood City]] and while {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} attempts to take down Team Rocket in [[Mahogany Town]] and [[Goldenrod City]], he interferes to prove himself. It is in the Mahogany hideout that he meets with [[Lance]], {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]]. Silver challenges Lance and is easily defeated by the dragon Trainer, who then proceeds to berate Silver for his callous ways towards training Pokémon. Though Silver is outraged for losing to someone with such an attitude, the loss and Lance's words ultimately set him on the path to becoming a better person. When Team Rocket takes over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], Silver first blows the player's Team Rocket disguise, unaware of the player's plan to sneak in by pretending to be a member of Team Rocket. He later follows the player to the Goldenrod underground and they battle Team Rocket, hoping that Lance will reappear and he can request a rematch.

By the time the player reaches {{ka|Victory Road}}, Silver battles against the player not out of malice, but to prove that he is a good Trainer. He is defeated and departs to continue training. The player battles Silver on [[Mt. Moon]], and though he loses he claims he can feel his Pokémon getting stronger, and resolves to train at [[Dragon's Den]].

The player battles Silver on [[Mt. Moon]], and though he loses he claims he can feel his Pokémon getting stronger, and resolves to train at [[Dragon's Den]].


After the player has become [[Champion]], Silver can indeed be found training in the Dragon's Den on Tuesday and Thursday, where he cannot be battled. On Monday and Wednesday, he will appear at [[Indigo Plateau]] and will challenge the player to a battle if they appear there. He does not appear at all on Friday or the weekends, indicating that he may in fact take the day off, resting his Pokémon. When battled this seventh and final time at Indigo Plateau, Silver seems to have finally learned to care for his Pokémon properly, as his {{p|Golbat}} has evolved to {{p|Crobat}}, which only occurs when Golbat is very [[friendship|friendly]]. This is further expressed in Generation IV when his [[starter Pokémon]] starts to [[Walking Pokémon|follow him around]], much like the player's Pokémon; Professor Elm even expressly states that Silver's Pokémon have come to trust him when Silver returns to the lab, presumably to return the starter he stole. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Lance and [[Clair]] will appear in the Dragon's Den and challenge the player and Silver to a [[Multi Battle]] following the battle at [[Mt. Moon]] giving him the chance to avenge his loss from earlier.

In terms of personality, Silver is initially the darkest of the rivals in the series. While most other rivals are generally good-natured, or at least zestful enough to crack a joke at the player, Silver is (at first) cruel, hateful, power-obsessed and even physically abusive, pushing the {{player}} character around several times. Even after he starts to become kinder, he remains a rather serious individual. He does, however, express genuine happiness when Elm allows him to keep the Pokémon he stole.

Giovanni and Silver's relationship is first alluded to in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, when Team Rocket {{tc|Scientist}} [[Gideon]] at the [[Rocket Warehouse]] on [[Five Island]] asks Red if he is "Giovanni's kid" but concludes he is not, saying that "Giovanni's kid has red hair." More information is revealed in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver when a [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Celebi}} is brought to [[Ilex Shrine]]: Celebi takes the player back in time three years to witness Giovanni abandoning Silver to go into seclusion because of his defeat at the hands of {{ga|Red}}. Silver's hate for Team Rocket apparently stems from the failure of his father.

Silver's hate for Team Rocket apparently stems from the failure of his father.
 
Silver also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], where he's simply called "Rival". He can be battled in [[White City]] once the player has cleared every [[Stadium Mode]] and the [[Gym Leader Castle]], acting as the final opponent of the game. His [[party]] consists of three [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|with a base stat total of 680}}, which the player is allowed to face with a full party of six Pokémon. Defeating Silver ends the game, and, in Round 1, also unlocks Round 2.

In this opening, he was shown defeating {{jo|Jimmy}} with his {{p|Nidoking}}, only to be defeated later on when Jimmy's {{p|Cyndaquil}} fully evolved into {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}.
 
While Silver did not appear in the main series, he was considered by much of the fandom to have a close counterpart in the character of [[Paul]], who was {{Ash}}'s main rival throughout the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Like Silver, Paul believed in raising the power of his Pokémon through harsh training as opposed to forming a trusting relationship, which put him at odds with Ash throughout the series. Also, Paul's official art shows him in the same pose as Silver does in one of his official artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]].

Silver (Japanese: シルバー Silver) is the rival character of Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, playing opposite Ethan, Kris, or Lyra. He is the son of Team Rocket Boss Giovanni.

During the first battle against him in HeartGold and SoulSilver, he is given the unique Trainer class Passerby (Japanese: とおりすがり Passerby) with the placeholder name Boy (Japanese: しょうねん Boy).

In the games

Role

Silver first appears in the Generation II games, lurking outside of Professor Elm's lab, looking through the window. When talked to, he will deny everything and push the player away. During the player's journey to Mr. Pokémon's house, Silver makes his move, stealing one of Elm's two remaining starter Pokémon (coincidentally always the one that is strong against the player's choice). He will meet with the player on the outskirts of Cherrygrove City, battling to get through. A policeman will later ask for the name of the rival, and the rival will be called the name the player gives for the rest of the game.

Silver shows a strong dislike of Team Rocket. He considers them to be weak, and vows to take them, as well as any other weak Trainer, down. He steals a Pokémon from a Trainer in Cianwood City and while Ethan/Kris/Lyra attempts to take down Team Rocket in Mahogany Town and Goldenrod City, he interferes to prove himself. It is in the Mahogany hideout that he meets with Lance, Champion of the Elite Four at Indigo Plateau. Silver challenges Lance and is easily defeated by the dragon Trainer, who then proceeds to berate Silver for his callous ways towards training Pokémon. Though Silver is outraged for losing to someone with such an attitude, the loss and Lance's words ultimately set him on the path to becoming a better person. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when Team Rocket takes over the Goldenrod Radio Tower, Silver first blows the player's Team Rocket disguise, unaware of the player's plan to sneak in by pretending to be a member of Team Rocket. He later follows the player to the Goldenrod underground and they battle Team Rocket, hoping that Lance will reappear and he can request a rematch.

By the time the player reaches Victory Road, Silver battles against the player not out of malice, but to prove that he is a good Trainer. He is defeated and departs to continue training. The player battles Silver on Mt. Moon, and though he loses he claims he can feel his Pokémon getting stronger, and resolves to train at Dragon's Den.

After the player has become Champion, Silver can indeed be found training in the Dragon's Den on Tuesday and Thursday, where he cannot be battled. On Monday and Wednesday, he will appear at Indigo Plateau and will challenge the player to a battle if they appear there. He does not appear at all on Friday or the weekends, indicating that he may in fact take the day off, resting his Pokémon. When battled this seventh and final time at Indigo Plateau, Silver seems to have finally learned to care for his Pokémon properly, as his Golbat has evolved to Crobat, which only occurs when Golbat is very friendly. This is further expressed in Generation IV when his starter Pokémon starts to follow him around, much like the player's Pokémon; Professor Elm even expressly states that Silver's Pokémon have come to trust him when Silver returns to the lab, presumably to return the starter he stole. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Lance and Clair will appear in the Dragon's Den and challenge the player and Silver to a Multi Battle following the battle at Mt. Moon giving him the chance to avenge his loss from earlier.

In terms of personality, Silver is initially the darkest of the rivals in the series. While most other rivals are generally good-natured, or at least zestful enough to crack a joke at the player, Silver is (at first) cruel, hateful, power-obsessed and even physically abusive, pushing the player character around several times. Even after he starts to become kinder, he remains a rather serious individual. He does, however, express genuine happiness when Elm allows him to keep the Pokémon he stole.

Giovanni and Silver's relationship is first alluded to in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, when Team Rocket Scientist Gideon at the Rocket Warehouse on Five Island asks Red if he is "Giovanni's kid" but concludes he is not, saying that "Giovanni's kid has red hair." More information is revealed in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver when a fateful encounter Celebi is brought to Ilex Forest shrine: Celebi takes the player back in time three years to witness Giovanni abandoning Silver to go into seclusion because of his defeat at the hands of Red. Silver's hate for Team Rocket apparently stems from the failure of his father.

Silver also appears in Pokémon Stadium 2, where he's simply called "Rival". He can be battled in White City once the player has cleared every Stadium Mode and the Gym Leader Castle, acting as the final opponent of the game. His party consists of three Legendary Pokémon with a base stat total of 680, which the player is allowed to face with a full party of six Pokémon. Defeating Silver ends the game, and, in Round 1, also unlocks Round 2.

Pokémon

The starter Pokémon that Silver has will depend on which Pokémon the player chose to bring on Professor Elm's errand at the beginning of the game. As with most rivals, it will be the Pokémon whose type weakens that of the player's starter.

Quotes

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

New Bark Town
"…… So this is the famous Elm Pokémon Lab …… What are you staring at?
Cherrygrove City
  • Before battle
"…… …… …… You got a Pokémon at the Lab. What a waste. A wimp like you. …… …… …… Don't you get what I'm saying? Well, I too, have a good Pokémon. I'll show you what I mean!"
  • Being defeated
"Humph. Are you happy you won?"
  • If the player is defeated
"Humph. That was a waste of time."
  • After the battle
"…… …… …… My name's ???. I'm going to be the world's greatest Pokémon trainer."
Sprout Tower
"… …Humph! He claims to be the Elder but he's weak. It stands to reason. I'd never lose to fools who babble about being nice to Pokémon. I only care about strong Pokémon that can win. I really couldn't care less about weak Pokémon.
Azalea Town
  • Before battle
"…Tell me something. Is it true that Team Rocket has returned? What? You beat them? Hah! Quit lying. You're not joking? Then let's see how good you are."
  • Being defeated
"… Humph! Useless Pokémon! Listen, you. You only won because my Pokémon were weak."
  • After being defeated
"I hate the weak. Pokémon, trainers. It doesn't matter who or what. I'm going to be strong and wipe out the weak. That goes for Team Rocket too. They act big and tough in a group. But get them alone, and they're weak. I hate them all. You stay out of my way. A weakling like you is only a distraction."

Burned Tower

  • Before battle
"…… …… …… …Oh, it's you. You wanted to get stronger, so you came for the legendary Pokémon that's supposed to be here. That's your story, right? Well, that's not going to happen. Because I'm going to get it! I'm going to be the world's greatest trainer, so a legendary Pokémon would be perfect for me. …Well, anyway. I'm getting tired of having a wimp like you always showing up."GS
"…… …… …… …Oh, it's you. I came looking for some legendary Pokémon that they say roosts here. But there's nothing here! Nothing after all the trouble of coming to this dump? No way! It's all your fault!"C
  • Being defeated
"…Humph! This is why I hate battling wimps. There's no challenge in it."
  • After being defeated
"…Aw, whatever. You would never be able to catch a legendary Pokémon anyway."GSC
"Humph! What are you doing falling into a hole? Some genius you are! Serves you right!"C
Olivine City
"… You again? There's no need to panic. I don't bother with wimps like you. Speaking of weaklings, the city's Gym Leader isn't here. Supposedly taking care of a sick Pokémon at the Lighthouse. Humph! Boo-hoo! Just let sick Pokémon go! A Pokémon that can't battle is worthless! Why don't you go train at the Lighthouse? Who knows. It may make you a bit less weak!"
Team Rocket HQ
"… Didn't I tell you that I was going to destroy Team Rocket? …Tell me, who was the guy in the cape who used dragon Pokémon? My Pokémon were no match at all. I don't care that I lost. I can beat him by getting stronger Pokémon. It's what he said that bothers me… He told me that I don't love and trust my Pokémon enough. I'm furious that I lost to a bleeding heart like him. …Humph! I don't have the time for the likes of you!"
Goldenrod Underground
  • Before battle
"Hold it! I saw you, so I tailed you. I don't need you underfoot while I take care of Team Rocket. …Wait a second. You beat me before, didn't you? That was just a fluke. But I repay my debts!"
  • Being defeated
"…Why… Why do I lose? I've assembled the toughest Pokémon. I didn't ease up on the gas. So why do I lose?"
  • After being defeated
"…I don't understand… Is what that Lance guy said true? That I don't treat Pokémon properly? Love… Trust… Are they really what I lack? Are they keeping me from winning? I… I just don't understand. But it's not going to end here. Not now. Not because of this. I won't give up my dream of becoming the world's best Pokémon trainer!"
Victory Road
  • Before battle
"Hold it. …Are you going to take the Pokémon League challenge? …Don't make me laugh. You're so much weaker than I am. I'm not like I was before. I now have the best and strongest Pokémon with me. I'm invincible! <player>! I challenge you!"
  • Being defeated
"…I couldn't win… I gave it everything I had… What you possess, and what I lack… I'm beginning to understand what that dragon master said to me…"
  • After being defeated
"…I haven't given up on becoming the greatest trainer… I'm going to find out why I can't win and become stronger…. When I do, I will challenge you. And I'll beat you down with all my power. …Humph! You keep at it until then."
Dragon's Den
  • When first talked to
"… What? <player>? …No, I won't battle you now… My Pokémon aren't ready to beat you. I can't push them too hard now. I have to be disciplined to become the greatest Pokémon trainer…"
  • If talked to again
"… Whew… Learn to stay out of my way…"
Mt. Moon
  • Before battle
"…… …… …… It's been a while, <player>. …Since I lost to you, I thought about what I was lacking with my Pokémon… And we came up with an answer. <player>, now we'll show you!"
  • Being defeated
"…… …… …… I thought I raised my Pokémon to be the best they could be… …But it still wasn't enough…"
  • After being defeated
"…… …… …… …You won, fair and square. I admit it. But this isn't the end. I'm going to be the greatest Pokémon Trainer ever. Because these guys are behind me. …Listen, <player>. One of these days I'm going to prove how good I am by beating you."
Indigo Plateau
  • Before battle
"Hold it. You're going to take the Pokémon League challenge now? That's not going to happen. My super-well trained Pokémon are going to pound you. <player>! I challenge you!"
  • Being defeated
"… OK--I lost…"
  • After being defeated

Burned Tower
  • Before battle

  • After battling the Team Rocket Grunt

Dragon's Den
"…What? Are you here to make fun of my training? Humph! I took my time coming all the way here, but the Master won't tell me anything, and he's making a big deal out of it... So I decided to train my Pokémon here instead."
"You! Where have you been all this time? Prepare to lose to me this time. I challenge you!"
"Humph! You can't beat me one-on-one, can you?"
"You must be kidding! That embarrassing one in the weird costume for me? No way I can battle with her! <player>! Come to my side! We'll beat Lance together!"

Silver in the anime

Silver played no major role in the anime, despite being a main character in the games. His only appearance in the anime was a brief cameo, in the original Japanese opening of The Legend of Thunder! (A New Oath). In this opening, he was shown defeating Jimmy with his Nidoking, only to be defeated later on when Jimmy's Cyndaquil fully evolved into Typhlosion.

While Silver did not appear in the main series, he was considered by much of the fandom to have a close counterpart in the character of Paul, who was Ash's main rival throughout the Diamond & Pearl series. Like Silver, Paul believed in raising the power of his Pokémon through harsh training as opposed to forming a trusting relationship, which put him at odds with Ash throughout the series. Also, Paul's official art shows him in the same pose as Silver does in one of his official artwork by Ken Sugimori.

Trivia

  • A 1997 pamphlet describing Gold and Silver mentions that the rival character lives in the same town as the protagonist. This aspect of his character was apparently discarded by the time of the final release, as his hometown was not elaborated upon in the games and it is implied to not be New Bark Town since he seems to be unfamiliar with Professor Elm's lab at the beginning of the game.
  • In Generation IV, Silver is depicted with two different eye colors. His eyes are gray in his Generation IV artwork while they are red in the HeartGold and SoulSilver games, as seen in the opening animation.
  • In the original Gold, Silver, and Crystal games, when battled at Indigo Plateau, the Champion theme is played instead of his rival theme.
  • The English script of the Celebi event in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver never states that Silver is Giovanni's son, unlike the Japanese script.
  • Silver has achieved a high score of 2000 at Pal Park, which serves as the default high score.
  • In the battle in the Goldenrod Tunnel in the remakes, his team when the player starts with Cyndaquil are all 2 levels higher than the same team he uses if the player were to start with another starter.
  • In the original games, at level 16, Silver's Croconaw is underleveled in the second battle, when Totodile usually does not evolve into Croconaw until level 18. This is fixed in the remakes.
    • His Haunter was also underleveled at level 20 in the third battle, when Gastly usually does not evolve until level 25. This is fixed in the remakes where instead his Haunter remains a Gastly.
  • Silver is the only rival whose team does not change in accordance to his starter, nor does he have any types that cover for his starter's initial type.
  • Art of Silver on Game Freak's website depicts him with a Houndoom, despite not owning one within the games.
  • In the Generation II core series games, Silver is the only Trainer who doesn't have a Trainer class.

Names

Silver (Japanese: シルバー Silver) is almost universally used in fanon as the name for this character, since it is his default name if the player provides a blank name for him in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Crystal. Despite this, it should be considered that Pokémon Crystal only shares the default name with Pokémon Gold likely due to the former being specifically developed from the latter, as evidenced by development leftovers. Furthermore, his default name differs on other games, which call him Gold (Japanese: ゴールド Gold)S, Soul (Japanese: ソウル Soul)HG, and Heart (Japanese: ハート Heart)SS.

Some fans call him Kamon (Japanese: カモン Kamon) to discern him from his Pokémon Adventures counterpart and an unrelated anime character. This name is taken from the suggested names for Ethan in both the Japanese and English versions of Pokémon Silver; this is similar to some fans calling Blue "Gary", since the name is found as one of the options for the player in international Pokémon Blue and for the rival in international Pokémon Red.
