==Similarities to Ash and Ritchie==
During the episode, much comparison is made between Silver and Ritchie with Silver even noting that Ritchie reminds him of himself when he was younger. Ritchie then goes on to say that the same features are present in {{Ash}}.
 
There are also other unstated similarities between Silver and Ash. His Salamence parallels [[Ash's Charizard]] while his Chikorita parallels [[Ash's Pikachu]]. When he was younger, Silver saw Moltres rather like how Ash saw {{an|Ho-Oh}} in [[EP001|the first episode]].
 
Silver actually appears to know of Ash, though there has been no further detail on this so far. As a result, he is now considered to be one of the three main candidates to be Ash's father (the other two being {{an|Giovanni}} and {{an|Professor Oak}}). It should be noted, however, that his knowledge of Ash could easily been from watching him on television in [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, much as [[Max]] did.
