Silver is an unkind, angry, and rather villainous character in the games. In Gold and Silver ([[Generation II]]), he steals a starter Pokémon from the lab and is extremely rude and bad-tempered toward the player. He will occasionally challenge the player, and will become enraged when defeated. He doesn't treat his Pokémon with respect, but rather as fighting machines to make him appear powerful and menacing. However, later in the game, he begins to recognize the error of his ways when the player continuously thwarts him.

At first, Silver likes to steal other trainers' Pokémon rather than capture his own, like the [[Starter Pokémon|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]].

Silver is a tall, slender young man with crimson red hair, pale skin, and dark eyes. He wears a high-collared navy coat with red trim, dark violet pants, a black belt around his waist, and navy shoes with red trim that match the colours of his coat.

Personality

Silver is an unkind, angry, and rather villainous character in the games. In Gold and Silver (Generation II), he steals a starter Pokémon from the lab and is extremely rude and bad-tempered toward the player. He will occasionally challenge the player, and will become enraged when defeated. He doesn't treat his Pokémon with respect, but rather as fighting machines to make him appear powerful and menacing. However, later in the game, he begins to recognize the error of his ways when the player continuously thwarts him.
