Is the rival in GSC actually named "Silver?" We don't know.
Thankfully, Masters should finally clear that up... sometime.

I mean...they kind of are. Like really, why would we not assume that the names they are called in their promotional material are their official names?
We can't make assumptions. I once assumed Brendan is Birch's son in the anime because May is Norman's daughter.
I'm not sure what that has to do with the names used of the PCs for the games...
In almost every entry in the Legend of Zelda series, you are free to name the young sword-wielding hero whatever you choose. Are we not supposed to accept the Canon name "Link" for this reason?
If we don't refer to the protagonists by name, are we just supposed to call them all "you"?
I mean, have Brendan, May, Lucas, Dawn, Ethan, Lyra, Hilbert, Hilda, Nate, Rosa, Calem, and Serena been used as names in promo material? People such as ForceFire on Bulbapedia have said that because the names Chase, Elaine, Victor, and Gloria are used in promos, they have to be used for now as their names.
I hope you realize Calem and Serena already get named in the game when they are your rival.
It felt special to have your own name written on your Pokémon that you would trade with your friends.
Hey! I personally know someone named Sword how dare you say their name isn't real!Like Sword and Shield just...aren't a name for a person.
No. They specifically avoid calling him by name. The closest we get is Looker referring to him as "the son of Giovanni."Is Silver referred to by name in Generations?
What're we gonna do, refer to Calem as Male XY Protagonist.
I hope you realize Calem and Serena already get named in the game when they are your rival.
Seriously dude, what's your hang up here. I don't understand why you're so annoyed about us using names that were seen in the promotional material.
How are we going to know which "boy" or "girl" someone's talking about.
That's it? Seriously? You're pissed at us for speculating?It is because we are speculating.

Wow, I've heard plenty jerky things but that, well, that doesn't take the cake, I've heard jerkier but still, being upset because people are speculating is pretty mean.
We're fans, we speculate. What, do you just sit around while all the trailers roll around and not speculate? Do you not ever wonder what might happen in the newest game in a series and then form a small theory or something? If you say you do then you, sir, are a liar.
Besides, it's not purely speculation. We have some basis. Pure speculation would just be saying "their names are Jim and Jay and that's what we're calling them even though there's no evidence anywhere in the game or outside of it that that is their name." In promotional material we see names, therefor logical basis for assumptions. Victor and Gloria as names without promotional material? Pure speculation. Victor and Gloria as names with promotional material? Logical assumption.
But, sure, feel free to go start an edit war on TV Tropes or Bulbagarden about how those are just fan nicknames. I'm sure that'll go over real well.
