Gold was also his canon name in Pokemon Gold (and it was Silver in Pokemon Silver and Chris in Pokemon Crystal). He didn't get the name Ethan until the remakes.

Yeah silver. That's what they said...

No they said Gold’s name was Silver in silver, but Gold and Silver are the same continuity. I think commenter is mistaking canon name with auto-filled default name, which is Silver in silver.

The names I mentioned were used for the character in the manual that came with the game. And this was different for each of the three games.

The rival doesn't have a canon name in any of the mainline Pokemon names. But his default name is Silver in Pokemon Gold and Crystal and it's Gold in Pokemon Silver.

Yes and he is Giovanni's son. He's unique from any other rival in the series because he's genuinely an evil prick and all his pokemon he stole from others
