'''Silver''' is the [[rival]] character of the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] {{pkmn|games}}, playing opposite {{ga|Gold}}, {{ga|Kris}}, and {{ga|Soul}} in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{game|Crystal}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.


According to fan speculation, Silver may be [[Giovanni]]'s red-haired child, due to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}'s [[Fame Checker]]'s many references to {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} versions, to Giovanni being [[Silver (Special)|Silver's manga equivalent]]'s father in [[Pokémon Special]], and to Silver's dark demeanor and detestment of Team Rocket.
'''Silver''' (Japanese: '''シルバー''' ''Silver'') is the [[rival]] character of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, playing opposite {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}}. He is the son of [[Team Rocket]] Boss [[Giovanni]].


==In the anime==
During the first {{pkmn|battle}} against him in HeartGold and SoulSilver, he is given the unique {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Passerby''' (Japanese: '''とおりすがり''' ''Passerby'') with the placeholder name '''Boy''' (Japanese: '''しょうねん''' ''Boy'').
[[Image:Silver_in_the_Anime.png‎|thumb|left|Silver in the anime]]
 
Like {{ga|Brendan}}, he played no role in the anime, despite being a main character in the games. Similarly, his only appearance in anime is a brief cameo, in the original Japanese opening of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' ([[A New Oath]]), where he was shown with his {{p|Nidoking}} defeating {{jo|Jimmy}}.
==In the games==
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 {{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. 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 {{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]].
 
After the player has become {{pkmn|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 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 {{ga|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]] {{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.


[[Paul]] seems to be based on Silver, in appearance and personality. He also has most of the Pokémon as [[Silver (Special)|Silver's manga counterpart]]. It is unknown if Paul has ever met him, Jimmy, or {{jo|Marina}}. However, seeing as all four of them competed in the Johto League before {{Ash}} and [[Vincent]] did, this could be the case.

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 [[rival]]s, it will be the Pokémon whose type weakens that of the player's starter.

Silver's first appearance in the Pokémon video games took place during [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and he is also to appear in the [[Pok%C3%A9mon_HeartGold_and_SoulSilver_Versions|remake of such versions]]. He was first seen lurking near a window to the Elm Pokémon Laboratory; he later broke in, stealing a Pokémon (the Pokémon that is strongest against the {{player}}'s chosen starter). He later used this Pokémon to battle Gold/Kris, doing this many times as they journeyed through Johto. This is not the only Pokémon he has stolen, as he also stole a {{p|Sneasel}} from a man in [[Cianwood City]], and uses it in battle for the rest of the game.

Throughout his travels, Silver showed a strong hate for [[Team Rocket]]. He strongly interfered with the revived Team Rocket's plans at least twice, including their experiments with radio signals at the [[Lake of Rage]]. His stated reason for this dislike was that they are "weak" when cornered, and that he only cares about strong opponents. During one of his missions against Team Rocket, Silver apparently fought against Lance, who utterly decimated him. Silver is soon frustrated, as he claims that Lance told him he doesn't love his Pokémon enough. Lance's words are Silver's catalyst, as he begins to metamorphisize into a more kind hearted person. Before a battle at [[Indigo Plateau]], Silver claims that he has reached his peak, finally understanding what Lance told him in [[Mahogany Town]]. During this battle, he uses a {{p|Crobat}}, which is only obtained when it loves its trainer, displaying that he now truly does care for his Pokémon.

Shortly after Gold/Kris defeated the Pokémon League, Silver took up training in the [[Dragon's Den]]. His personality has been likened by the Dragon Master to be similar to [[Clair]]'s. He can be seen there on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and can be challenged at the [[Pokémon League]] on Mondays and Wednesdays. His activities on the weekend are unknown, but now that he is a kinder person, it can be assumed that he does not train on these days.

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 all [[rival]]s, it will be the Pokémon whose type weakens that of the player's starter.

:''"That's ridiculous. There's no way I could lose to a wimp like you!"''
 
* Being defeated
:''"… Humph! Useless Pokémon! Listen, you. You only won because my Pokémon were weak."''
 
* If the player is defeated
:''"I knew you were lying."''
 
* After being defeated
:''"I hate the weak. Pokémon, Trainers. It doesn't matter who or what. I hate to see them hanging around. That goes for Team Rocket, too. They think they are big and tough as long as they are in a group. But get them alone, and they're weak. I hate them all. You stay out of my way. You won't be an exception if you get in my way."''
 
;[[Burned Tower]]
* Before battle
:''"……………… ……Oh, it's you. You must be here to catch the [[legendary Pokémon]] to make yourself look strong. That is only a dream. You see, the legendary Pokémon suits a Trainer like me who has sworn to become the strongest Trainer. A battle with {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s is just right for you!"''

:''"… You again? There's no need to be alert. I don't bother with wimps like you. Speaking of weaklings, [[Jasmine|the city's Gym Leader]] isn't here, and is supposedly taking care of [[Amphy|a sick Pokémon]] at the {{FB|Glitter|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 of a better Trainer!"''
 
;[[Team Rocket HQ]]
:''"… So you are messing with them again. Humph, you must really like Team Rocket so much. … Tell me, who was the guy in the cape who used {{type|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 time for the likes of you!"''
 
;[[Goldenrod Radio Tower]]
* Before battling the Team Rocket Grunt
:''"Hey Team Rocket! Stop going around in groups and troubling people. You cowards! …Huh? Are you <player>? What are you doing here? No way… You think you're strong now that you look like them? That's foolish! You shouldn't wear those things!"''
 
* After battling the Team Rocket Grunt
:''"I see. You were trying to be sneaky… Huh! A typical idea of the meek! No matter. I'll let you handle this. I have to defeat the Dragon Tamer… What's his name…? [[Lance]]! After that… it will be your turn. Be ready for it!"''
 
;[[Goldenrod Tunnel]]
* Before battle
:''"Hold it! What I told you before was to deceive you. I thought it would let me tail you, and it would lead me to Lance. Well, he never showed up. …No matter. I was planning to beat you after Lance, but since you are here, I will repay my debts!"''
 
* Sending out last Pokémon
:''"Hey, hey! Why so serious?"''
 
* Last Pokémon at critical health
:''"No way…"''
 
* Being defeated
:''"…Why… Why do I lose? I've assembled the toughest Pokémon. I haven't eased 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!"''
 
;[[Ecruteak City]]
:''"How…? How is this possible? How can I lose to mere [[Kimono Girl]]s…? You were watching me, <player>… Yeah, that's right! I never thought defeating five Kimono Girls would be so hard… I got beaten to a pulp… … Don't get cocky just because you defeated Team Rocket! These Kimono Girls are insanely strong. Go ahead! But I'm not going back. I don't want to see you win."''
 
;{{ka|Victory Road}}
* Before battle
:''"Hold it. …Are you going to challenge the Pokémon League? Victory Road is at its end, for sure. But did you notice…? You didn't see any real Trainers on the way, did you? Man, they were all spineless! Well, the fact that you have come this far means you're not one of them. But! Your journey ends here! Because… right here, right now… I will crush you!"''
 
* Sending out last Pokémon
:''"I see. Seems like it wasn't just luck that's gotten you this far."''
 
* Last Pokémon at critical health
:''"Humph! You were too strong…"''
 
* 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 Tamer 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. I'll beat you down with all my power. …Humph! You keep at it until then."''
 
;[[Mt. Moon]]
* Before battle
:''"Hey, <player>! You're here in [[Kanto]], too? Some of the Trainers here are tough, which makes it easy to train my Pokémon! <player>! I know you are strong… But… I can't help but challenge you!"''
 
* Sending out last Pokémon
:''"I see. You weren't coming to Kanto just to show off…"''
 
* Last Pokémon at critical health
:''"I see you weren't playing around, either…"''
 
* Being defeated
:''"Humph! I guess it can't be helped…"''
 
* If the player is defeated
:''"Hmm, seems my Pokémon are pretty good."''
 
* After being defeated
:''"My training's still not good enough…? My Pokémon are so weak, it makes me frustrated… But I can feel that they are getting better after each battle… ……………… Tch! They're still too weak! I need to give them more training… I know! I should take them to Dragon's Den! See ya, <player>!"''
 
;[[Dragon's Den]]
* Before the [[Multi Battle]] with [[Lance]] and [[Clair]]
:''"…What? Are you here to make fun of my training? Humph! I took my time coming all the way here, but the {{OBP|Master|Dragon Tamer clan}} won't tell me anything, and he's making a big deal out of it... So I decided to train my Pokémon here instead."''
:''"[[Lance|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! [[Clair|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!"''
 
* After the battle
:''"<player>... It wasn't supposed to go this way… Anyway, I am not giving up beating you! I'll train my Pokémon and...my own heart, too. I'll come back as the toughest challenge for you!"''
 
* If talked to again at a different day
:''"... Whew... Learn to stay out of the way..."''
 
;[[Indigo Plateau]]
* Before battle
:''"Hold it. You're going to take the Pokémon League challenge now? You'll have to give up on that. My well-trained-beyond-recognition Pokémon are going to pound you. Right now, right here! I challenge you!"''

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 {{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 appeared in ''[[PG05|The Legacy]]''. He was seen meeting up with [[Looker]] outside the [[Indigo Plateau]], discussing his relationship and last meeting with [[Giovanni]] that ultimately led to their estrangement. During the conversation, Silver asserts that he decided to stay out of his father's affairs, and he tells Looker that it is his job to find Giovanni before going off to face the [[Elite Four]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Some fans call him "Kamon" to discern him from {{Special|Silver|his Pokémon Special counterpart}} and {{an|Silver|an anime character}}. The name is taken from the optional names for the {{ga|Gold|player}} in Silver, much as some call {{ga|Blue}} "Gary", where the name is found as one of the options for the player in {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, and the rival in {{game3|Red and Blue|Red|s}}.
* A 1997 pamphlet describing {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} mentions that the [[rival]] character lives in the same town as {{ga|Ethan|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 {{pkmn|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.
* As a possible reference to Silver's training schedule, {{ga|Pearl}} also can be battled again (on Saturdays and Sundays) after the player becomes champion. He can also be found training at [[Stark Mountain]] during the week in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.  
* 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.
*If Silver's stolen starter is {{p|Totodile}}, he uses {{p|Croconaw}} at level 16 in his second battle, despite Totodile only being able to evolve from level 18 onwards. However, if Silver's stolen starter is {{p|Cyndaquil}}, he uses {{p|Quilava}} at level 32 in his fourth battle, while the other two are their final forms (which is normal).
* In the original Gold, Silver, and Crystal games, when battled at Indigo Plateau, the Champion theme is played instead of his rival theme.
*In his anime cameo, his only known Pokémon is a {{p|Nidoking}}. All other game rivals that have made anime appearances have been seen with the {{type2|Water}} starter from their home region, indicating another possible Pokémon for Silver to have (which would also fit in weakening [[Jimmy's Typhlosion]]).
* The English script of the {{p|Celebi}} event in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} never states that Silver is Giovanni's son, unlike the Japanese script.
*Two of Silver's Pokémon in his final team received evolutions in [[Generation IV]]. The same two Pokémon are also the only members of his team that did not evolve twice.
* Silver has achieved a high score of 2000 at [[Pal Park]], which serves as the default high score.
**Furthermore, {{p|Sneasel}} is the only member of his final team that is not part of a {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|three-stage evolutionary line}} as of [[Generation IV]].
* 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 {{p|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 {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}.

'''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 {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} and {{game|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 [[Pokémon Crystal beta#Super Game Boy features|development leftovers]]. Furthermore, his default name differs on other games, which call him '''Gold''' (Japanese: '''ゴールド''' ''Gold''){{sup/2|S}}, '''Soul''' (Japanese: '''ソウル''' ''Soul''){{sup/4|HG}}, and '''Heart''' (Japanese: '''ハート''' ''Heart''){{sup/4|SS}}.


Some fans call him '''Kamon''' (Japanese: '''カモン''' ''Kamon'') to discern him from {{adv|Silver|his Pokémon Adventures counterpart}} and {{OBP|Silver|SS018|an unrelated anime character}}. This name is taken from the suggested names for {{ga|Ethan}} in both the Japanese and English versions of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}}; this is similar to some fans calling {{ga|Blue}} "{{Gary}}", since the name is found as one of the options for the {{player}} in international {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Blue|s}} and for the [[rival]] in international {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}.

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

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.

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?"

"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
"…… …… …… …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."

Cherrygrove City
  • Before battle
"… You got a Pokémon at the Lab. What a waste. That's a Pokémon that's too good for 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!"
  • Starter at critical health

Sprout Tower
"… …Humph! He calls himself the Elder, but he was no match for me. Sure enough, those who lecture how you should be "nice" to Pokémon… They cannot defeat me. All I care about are strong Pokémon that win every time. The rest of them don't mean anything to me."

  • If the player is defeated
"I knew you were lying."
  • After being defeated
"I hate the weak. Pokémon, Trainers. It doesn't matter who or what. I hate to see them hanging around. That goes for Team Rocket, too. They think they are big and tough as long as they are in a group. But get them alone, and they're weak. I hate them all. You stay out of my way. You won't be an exception if you get in my way."
Burned Tower
  • Before battle
"……………… ……Oh, it's you. You must be here to catch the legendary Pokémon to make yourself look strong. That is only a dream. You see, the legendary Pokémon suits a Trainer like me who has sworn to become the strongest Trainer. A battle with Team Rocket Grunts is just right for you!"

"Out of desperation, weak people sometimes do OK at fighting back."

"Don't you get that I'm going easy on you?"

"… You again? There's no need to be alert. I don't bother with wimps like you. Speaking of weaklings, the city's Gym Leader isn't here, and is 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 of a better Trainer!"
Team Rocket HQ
"… So you are messing with them again. Humph, you must really like Team Rocket so much. … Tell me, who was the guy in the cape who used Dragon-type 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 time for the likes of you!"
Goldenrod Radio Tower
  • Before battling the Team Rocket Grunt
"Hey Team Rocket! Stop going around in groups and troubling people. You cowards! …Huh? Are you <player>? What are you doing here? No way… You think you're strong now that you look like them? That's foolish! You shouldn't wear those things!"
  • After battling the Team Rocket Grunt
"I see. You were trying to be sneaky… Huh! A typical idea of the meek! No matter. I'll let you handle this. I have to defeat the Dragon Tamer… What's his name…? Lance! After that… it will be your turn. Be ready for it!"

  • Sending out last Pokémon
"Hey, hey! Why so serious?"

Ecruteak City
"How…? How is this possible? How can I lose to mere Kimono Girls…? You were watching me, <player>… Yeah, that's right! I never thought defeating five Kimono Girls would be so hard… I got beaten to a pulp… … Don't get cocky just because you defeated Team Rocket! These Kimono Girls are insanely strong. Go ahead! But I'm not going back. I don't want to see you win."
Victory Road
  • Before battle
"Hold it. …Are you going to challenge the Pokémon League? Victory Road is at its end, for sure. But did you notice…? You didn't see any real Trainers on the way, did you? Man, they were all spineless! Well, the fact that you have come this far means you're not one of them. But! Your journey ends here! Because… right here, right now… I will crush you!"
  • Sending out last Pokémon
"I see. Seems like it wasn't just luck that's gotten you this far."

Mt. Moon
  • Before battle
"Hey, <player>! You're here in Kanto, too? Some of the Trainers here are tough, which makes it easy to train my Pokémon! <player>! I know you are strong… But… I can't help but challenge you!"
  • Sending out last Pokémon
"I see. You weren't coming to Kanto just to show off…"
  • Last Pokémon at critical health
"I see you weren't playing around, either…"
  • Being defeated
"Humph! I guess it can't be helped…"
  • If the player is defeated
"Hmm, seems my Pokémon are pretty good."
  • After being defeated
"My training's still not good enough…? My Pokémon are so weak, it makes me frustrated… But I can feel that they are getting better after each battle… ……………… Tch! They're still too weak! I need to give them more training… I know! I should take them to Dragon's Den! See ya, <player>!"
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!"
  • After the battle
"<player>... It wasn't supposed to go this way… Anyway, I am not giving up beating you! I'll train my Pokémon and...my own heart, too. I'll come back as the toughest challenge for you!"
  • If talked to again at a different day
"... Whew... Learn to stay out of the way..."

"Why?! I've still got one left!"
  • Last Pokémon at critical health
"Do you think you've won already?"

"You told me… you were the number one in the world! Are you gonna quit? What are you going to do now?"
"What aspect of you was number one? Gathering so many only to be defeated by a mere child!"
"I don't understand you! You don't make any sense!"
"I don't want to understand you! I will never become someone like you. A coward when you're alone and acting like a tyrant when you're in front of other cowards! I will become strong! I will become a stronger man all by myself! All by myself!"
"…What are you staring at?"

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.
