-	Yes, fans have long time been speculating the idea of [[Silver]] being the son of Giovanni. Strong points going for this speculation are the fact that Giovanni's kid '''''DOES''''' have red hair, and that the two in classic artwork share similarities in the facial region. Silver and Giovanni were also father and son in [[Manga]] adaptions(However, we must consider that this is also the same manga that depicts the Kanto [[Elite Four]] as a group of PokéTerrorists). Going against this argument however, is considering Silver's hatred of Team Rocket, his HG/SS redesign(which now looks less like Giovanni), the presence of other red heads([[Whitney]], [[Misty]], [[Lance]] and [[Lorelei]])in the generation(s), and the manga's ridiculousness.

		+
		+	=== The long awaited answer ===
		+
		+	Much as the fan-base suspicioned since the refrence in FireRed and LeafGreen, Silver indeed turned out to be related by blood to Giovanni. However, unlike the Manga, where Silver eventually can resolve with his father and help him turn a new leaf, Silver is abandoned by his [[fail]]ure of a father, and never gets to see him again. Furthermore, the event fuels Silver's rage for Team Rocket, Giovanni and the weak even more and all at once. Hence, some dark tones were taken away from his character, but a major plot hole was filled.

Once again adding mystery to the character is the fact that [[You|some]] have elected him as a possible candidate for the role of Ash's father. Support for the theory involves [[Delia]] being a part of his high-school gang for a time, and Delia even went out with him while in the game. Further evidence shows that Giovanni resembles the silhouette in the only photo of the man that is Ash's dad. However, denouncing the theory is that Giovanni doesn't even know Ash when they meet. Furthermore, Delia suggests she broke up with Gio before she graduated, and Rockets themselves say Giovanni's kid has red hair.

== Giovanni: Silver's Father? ==
Yes, fans have long time been speculating the idea of [[Silver]] being the son of Giovanni. Strong points going for this speculation are the fact that Giovanni's kid '''''DOES''''' have red hair, and that the two in classic artwork share similarities in the facial region. Silver and Giovanni were also father and son in [[Manga]] adaptions(However, we must consider that this is also the same manga that depicts the Kanto [[Elite Four]] as a group of PokéTerrorists). Going against this argument however, is considering Silver's hatred of Team Rocket, his HG/SS redesign(which now looks less like Giovanni), the presence of other red heads([[Whitney]], [[Misty]], [[Lance]] and [[Lorelei]])in the generation(s), and the manga's ridiculousness. [[User:Chao|Chao]] is a firm believer that Silver is related to Giovanni however, so why shouldn't [[you]]?
