* TheDreaded: Silver has a distinct aesthetic when it comes to pokémon--he collects the spooky (Gastly, Zubat, and Sneasel) and the uncanny (Magnemite, Abra). The implication is that he doesn't just want power, he wants to scare people.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To the previous rival Blue from ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue''. Both are {{Jerkass}} rivals towards the player character, though the difference is that Silver is (at first) very abusive towards the player and his Pokémon, unlike Blue who is abuse-averse in doing what Silver does. Blue picks the starter through legitimate means from his grandfather Professor Oak while Silver openly steals it inside Elm's research. The G/S remakes, [=HeartGold=] and [=SoulSilver=], also further the contrast between Silver and Blue after they were defeated for the final time. In Red and Blue, as well as [=FireRed=] and [=LeafGreen=], Blue, who is the Champion, loses it and cannot take defeat from the player character before he subsequently mellowed down in the sequels, while Silver in HG/SS, who is not a Champion, eventually becomes the player's WorthyOpponent in every subsequent battle after going to a CharacterDevelopment, instead accepting his defeat.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: As the first encounter in the Elite Four and with a team that has both a Slowbro and a Jynx on it, Will is a fairly blatant riff on Lorelei, focusing instead on the Psychic-type they share rather than the mixed Water-Ice milieu of Lorelei's team.

* CharacterDevelopment: In ''Black & White 2'', while she still acts a bit upset about her losses in the Pokémon World Tournament, she seems more willing to acknowledge her the abilities of her opponent, telling the player that beating her is something they can brag about, and giving a very {{Tsundere}} compliment to the player if talked to afterwards. Even if she wins her match, she tells the player that the battle was a learning experience for her, and that it made her realize something she was lacking.

* {{Foil}}: To Lance, her cousin and fellow Dragon trainer. She introduces herself to the player by bragging about her skills and claiming to be on the Elite Four's level (despite being a "mere" Gym Leader and having a team on a lower level), is a SoreLoser upon being defeated, and couldn't pass the Dragon Den master's quiz. By contrast, Lance introduces himself to the player in GSC as just another Pokémon Trainer (despite being the very Champion), is a GracefulLoser, and was stated to have passed the quiz.
** ''Crystal'' and the remakes reveal she is also one to Silver, as when he starts training at the Dragon's Den, her grandfather states she used to be convinced that power was all that matters in her youth, just like he was. However, Clair has a fairly close relation with her family, who help keep her more abrasive side in check, and apparently grew out of this mindset on her own, even if she retained her inability to accept loss gracefully for a long time, while the Silver's relationship with [[spoiler: his father Giovanni]] is incredibly strained, he's been a loner for most of his life, which leads him to fully embrace his darker tendencies, and he refuses to realize the error of his ways until his encounter at Victory Road, but is quicker to learn to accept his losses once he does.
