2nd Gen Silver's name

[Meepman]

This may be silly, but I must know! Am I the only person who thought Silver's name actually was ??? and put that in as his name?

 

[FireRed Supergiant]

personally, i didn't know what to make of it. i was expecting the rival to be someone the character knew already (in the mold of RBY), so i was confused until i saw the "rival's name" caption after the officer's question.

i didn't set the name to ???, but i think there have been a few posts in the past about this so you aren't the only one.

I named him Gary the first time I played through the game. But I kept wondering why he looked so different then in Yellow.

When I finally found out he wasn't gary.. I named him Ace.
Then, when I found out his name was Silver, I named him as such.

Like the seven year old idiot I was, I made his name all spaces, ending up as Silver...it was rather odd...second time I played through, though, it was Andrew, after my friend...

 

[Kirbychu]

When I was young and clueless I thought that Silver was Misty, so that's what I named him. I was surprised once I saw Silver being referred to as a 'he', and when I met the real Misty. :S

 

[Sydian]

My first play through of Silver, I thought his name was ??? as well. I put Silver or something random now, but then...xD

 

[Wi-fi Battler]

Huzah! I'm not the only person who did that XD. yes i did thought i had to put ??? as his name. kind of stupid on my part.

 

[leilukin]

I did name him ??? when I first played the games, because he DID tell me that "my name is ???". LOL

 

[ArcanineOod]

I did name him ??? when I first played the games, because he DID tell me that "my name is ???". LOL

Same here XD
I don't remember what I named him when I realised ??? wasn't his name...

Right

I called him "???" lol

 

[Dusclord]

It's quite odd that he had to tell "my name is ???" anyway, it was confusing when the policeman asked me so I got that very original name of Silver.

No, you are not the only one. I put that on my Gold. To this day that is his name as I continue in my quest to complete the Pokedex :P

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

I do recall doing that the very first time I played Silver. Not far into the game, I decided to reset it and give him an actual name, which for the life of me I can't remember right now...

 

[Vespinus]

I didn't realize it was him I was naming and I was about 4, so I called him Adam, which I had named my character. It was quite funny, but really irritated me.

 

[Munch Dog]

Ha, I can't remember what it was the first time I played Gold, but once I saw the naming screen I knew that ??? wasn't really his name. One of my friends set it as ??? though and I made fun of him for it. :p

 

[Harumi-chan]

I named him ??? as well only because I didn't know what else to name him and I'm bad at naming things XD Especially when I'm playing rpgs and I have the option to change the main character's name, I always put in his real name not a made up one XD

 

[GengarNightmare]

I didn't think his name was ???

However, I did find it strange that you didn't name him at the beginning when you started the game. I guess Gamefreak really wanted that scene with the police officer included.

 

[Silhouette]

I named Silver ???. XD Fail on my part.

 

[Ayselipera]

I didn't think that was his name, but I thought that was what you were suppose to tell the police officer. So I did. :)

 

[Daydream]

Well he said that was his name. D= I was convinced that at some point he would dramatically breakdown and tell you his real name. I was disappointed. ):
