Japanese: Ryota Osaka | Yuki Ono
English: Joe Zieja | Lucien Dodge
Silver is the player's rival in the Johto games. He starts out as an antagonistic force, stealing his first Pokémon from Professor Elm's Lab, and being noted by others to have an incredibly aggressive battle style that shows a lack of concern for his Pokémon. However, he also shows a hatred for Team Rocket, sharing a common goal with the player, and starts to change his attitude as he encounters the player over and over again. While his ace in the Johto games is dependent on his chosen starter, he is consistently associated with Sneasel in other media.
- ... 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!
(Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal)
- Humph. Are you happy you won?
(Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal)
- ... My name's ???. I'm going to be the world's greatest Pokémon trainer.
(Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal)
- ...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.
(Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal)
- ...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.
(Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal)
- You stay out of my way. A weakling like you is only a distraction.
(Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal)
- ... 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!
(Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal)
- ...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.
(Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal)
- ...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 on my dream of becoming the world's best Pokémon trainer!
(Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal)
- ...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.
(Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal)
- ...... ...... ...... ...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.
