* Several similarities have been noted between Paul and a game rival, {{ga|Silver}}. Their personalities are especially similar in that they both are rather cold towards not only the people around them, but also to their Pokémon. Another interesting similarity is that the pose used in Paul's stock art is the same as the pose in a picture of Silver drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], right down to the angle and position of the hands and feet. Paul has similar taste in Pokémon to the {{adv|Silver}} portrayed in Pokémon Adventures. Both have an {{p|Ursaring}} and a {{p|Weavile}}. Both have also owned a {{p|Murkrow}} at one point and furthermore, when Silver had a cameo in the original Japanese opening of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', he was seen with a Nidoking, another Pokémon that Paul has. | * Several similarities have been noted between Paul and a game rival, {{ga|Silver}}.
