Has Anyone Ever Made This Connection?
 
I was looking up Team Rocket for some reason on Bulbapedia, and I came up to Ariana. In both Generation II and Generation IV, she has a similar hairstyle to Silver- not to mention the same haircolor in Generation IV. Is she... Giovanni's "mate"?

Let's compare, shall we?

Generation II

Generation IV

(Ignore the poor sizing, I just took these from Bulbapedia...)

Possibly. His dad is in Team Rocket, after all.

Recontra1234 March 30th, 2010 2:51 PM

Wow. Good job lol I can't say they're not similar

I'm not really sure of what you mean. That picture is your rival, not Giovanni. It could be possible because Giovanni is your rival's father, but to me, Ariana looks younger than Giovanni. Nice point, though.

Toxicroak March 30th, 2010 2:52 PM

All i can say is Giovanni has poor taste in women.

Zebeedoo March 30th, 2010 2:54 PM

^ Lol'ed hard

I noticed that Silver's hairstyle looks the same as hers. But I didn't know his dad was in Team Rocket! =O

I'm trying to say that they "did the hokey-pokey and they turned themselves around." Whadidyathink? It's pretty much known that Giovanni's Silver's father as much as the first region is named Kanto.

Could be, most video games have a realy deep underlying story to them, mabey this is ss one.
And mabey, if you dont already know ubreon 4 life, people dont have to be the exact same age to be 'mates'

While we're on the topic of your rival:

XD. If that is Giovanni's "mate", I wouldn't be surprised.

Umbreonic Aura March 30th, 2010 3:18 PM

XD she probably screwed Giovanni to get into Team Rocket got pregnant and send the baby to a care home and he grew up badly,
^_^ makes sense for his evil nature now,
anyway XD Roark is asmuch as Silver as much as Tobi is Obito (Naruto reference),
Havent started my Soul Silver yet because i am studying the Guide book a ridiculous much,
sadly most of it is already known.

Yoak March 30th, 2010 3:59 PM

I liked her in gen II better...

rocky505 March 30th, 2010 8:16 PM

Giovanni can bang any woman he wants because he's rich and owns an evil organization.

ChrisTom March 30th, 2010 8:27 PM

You know, I never knew that Silver was Giovanni's son until the new Gen IV Celebi event. I always thought he was just an orphan or something (well that's sort of true. Giovanni disowned him after he said he didn't want to join Team Rocket.)

Sam_Sam March 30th, 2010 11:33 PM

I only know SIlver & Giovanni connection through the manga - a bit funny for me

But he's like... 10... Can he do that XD? lolol

I guess since he's evil, he doesn't care, meh.

RYKU March 30th, 2010 11:39 PM

silver and ariana possibly brother and sister?

CrashSmAshley March 30th, 2010 11:43 PM

Holy crap! There's so much I never knew about the rival. It does all make sense though

560cool. March 31st, 2010 12:15 AM

Oh jeez ! It's no good to screw your employees !

I think it might be true , but never saw Ariana talking about Silver in neither games . We shall find out ...

bobandbill March 31st, 2010 1:32 AM

Well this got off-topic already in a few posts... =/

And I kinda doubt it = it's just similar appearances. (Or are you going to tell me Giovanni married Roark? =P) And to answer the question, this has been discussed by people before...ever since Silver's new look was revealed. That picture with Roak/Silver? Made at the time the coro coro pic came out. Believe me I remember the spammy spam from that well. =P

So seeing already it's been getting a bit 'eh', and besides the similar hair colour/poses...there's nothing else. They never meet or talk about the other (or Giovanni), nor did someone else make any links - and note that the 'Silver is Giovanni's son' thing game-wise at least has been around since rather non-subtle hints (in-game dialogue) in FR/LG. So going to close this, I'm afraid - just don't see this ending well based on before, or much production from this besides wild speculation.

Someone keep an eye on Roark though all the same.
