Silver's name
 
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 October 30th, 2009 3:36 PM

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...

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 October 30th, 2009 6:45 PM

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 October 30th, 2009 6:57 PM

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 October 30th, 2009 7:04 PM

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

Right

I called him "???" lol

Dusclord October 31st, 2009 2:31 AM

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.

andyp159 October 31st, 2009 5:59 AM

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™ October 31st, 2009 1:08 PM

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 October 31st, 2009 2:23 PM

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 October 31st, 2009 5:34 PM

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 November 2nd, 2009 10:49 AM

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 November 2nd, 2009 11:57 AM

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 November 2nd, 2009 1:28 PM

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

Ayselipera November 2nd, 2009 3:07 PM

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 November 4th, 2009 10:40 AM

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. ):

DarkAlucard November 4th, 2009 1:33 PM

Jaja the first time i played i name him ??? because i want him to be annonimous, later he was Vann in honor to a very close friend who loves pokemon too. All the rivals in pokemon games have been sort of friends of my (Gary/Blue was Cesar, Silver/??? was Ivan or Vann, obviously May stay the same and Pearl, great name for a kid jaja, was Luis)

Haz November 4th, 2009 2:02 PM

I knew there was a Silver version and because my charecter was called Gold (I named him that everytime XD), I always named him Silver but that was only after the first time I got the game, I wasn't concentrating and just put spaces in :P

mynightmare November 4th, 2009 2:11 PM

the first time i played gold i did the same thing. my friends laughed at me XD

Gunn November 5th, 2009 12:18 AM

Well, no. I knew his name really wasn't ??? and for some reason, I didn't call him Silver (since I played the Gold version) so just named him "That Guy." It did add some humorous dialogue throughout the game though. xD

FOR EXAMPLE!:
"That Guy wants to battle!"
"That Guy sent out CYNDAQUIL!"

Destinyfate November 5th, 2009 6:10 AM
