Like {{ga|Brendan}}, he played no role in the anime, despite being a main character in the games. Similarly, his only appearance in the anime is a brief cameo, in the original Japanese opening of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' ([[A New Oath]]), where he was shown with his {{p|Nidoking}} defeating {{jo|Jimmy}}. | Like {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|Lucas}}, he played no role in the anime, despite being a main character in the games.

While not appearing directly, he has a counterpart in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{adv|Silver}}. They share several similarities, such as stealing a starter from Professor Elm (in the manga's case, Totodile), owning a Sneasel, and being [[Giovanni]]'s son. | |||

*In [[Generation II]], If Silver's stolen starter is {{p|Totodile}}, he uses {{p|Croconaw}} at level 16 in his second battle, despite Totodile only being able to evolve from level 18 onwards.
