Heh, thanks a lot. It's nice to know I'm not alone in my utter dislike for emo-Silver. I actually saw your post before, too, and I remember thinking, "OMG! Another sane person!" XD He was so awesome in the games. Sure, there was some room for slight emotion on his part (character development with the main characters, for example, and his dislike for Team Rocket and his father), but the level the manga took it to... SHEESH.
