Silver (Pokemon)

Silver (Japanese: シルバー Silver) is a character from Pokémon Gold and Silver and their remakes. He acts as the rival of the game, occasionally challenging, taunting and arriving just in time to stop whatever the player was doing. He is the son of Giovanni, who was long rumored to be his father. He also has a deep hatred for Team Rocket due to his father leaving him to go do strenuous training after his loss to Red.

At first, Silver likes to steal other trainers' Pokémon rather than capture his own, like the starter that has a type advantage to the player's and a Sneasel from Cianwood City, but he eventually learns to take care of his Pokémon properly, as seen by the fact that he has a Crobat.
