Volkner?
Do you think Volkner is related to them somehow?
Oh yea, they do look a lot alike. Ryguy 10:34, 19 August 2007 (EST)
- There's nothing canon, though. In fact, there is just as valid speculation that he is the father of the player's character. --FabuVinny T-C-S 14:45, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- They are obviously related. Look at both of their pictures:

Look at how similar they look! --Shiny Noctowl 14:50, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- Fanon speculation, not article-worthy.
BTW, where exactly in the game does he refer to Rival as his son? Jonah 17:15, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
In the time right before you fight him as the 21st trainer at the Battle Tower, or your first match with him. He says you played with <rival's name> while you guys were children and then he makes a reference to the rival being his son. Maybe you just mashed B when you first fought him?

- No, he says it DURING the battle, not before the battle. About that whole Volkner-Palmer thing, it's a pure fanwank. It's not worthy to be in article. There are many characters that look alike in Pokémon. --Maxim 08:32, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'd say it's a possibility, but nothing more. --juunannio 19:47, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- He does say Pearl (Tyson, in my case) is his son, quite clearly. I can't quote it word for word, but it's before the 21st battle. I'd know, being right in that battle now. >_>--The Last Sheikah 08:11, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Do you want his dialouge? Wait....
Before Battle
Hi! My name's Palmer. I remember you from when you were in Twinleaf, <player>. You were always playing with my son <rival>, right? You've grown up since then, and most impressively, too! So, I'd like you to show me. Show me the bond you've built with your Pokémon. Show me the skill you've acquired as a Trainer! Angerman 01:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- I apologize to reply on such an old topic, but I really wanted to share it with you. Yesterday, in DP 141 (english dub) at the ending scenes, Palmer suggested ash to go to Sunny Shore city to battle Volkner (8th Gym battle). Palmer behaved suspectedly and said
- " Palmer: Because with your battling skills, I am pretty sure you will be able give a quite shock to the sunny shore's gym leader.
- Ash: Sure but what do you mean by shock?
- Palmer: You will see when you get there. "
