Can not be sure but he was most likely based on Silver as they have several of the same Pokemon (Ursaring, Nidoking, Honchkrow and Weavile families) as well as the same cold personalities towards people and their Pokemon, and both have had issues with the champions in their respective regions
I suppose they are as they treat there Pokemon cruely and always care about power also just like paul at the end of diamond and pearl series silver changes his path towards darkness aswell.
To be honest they are both the same except from there pokemon. They both have the same personality and everything but in my opion silver is better then Paul even though silver is a jerk from calling you wimp and mean stuff on heartgold and soulsilver.
I don't think anyone knows why Paul is mean on Pokemon, he looks intimidating, but you cant judge a person by their looks and emotions... anyway Paul is just like that probably in one of the episodes it may reveal the answer that we all want to know about.
Paul Silver was born in 1948.
Paul Silver died in 2009.

paul likes dawn but he just cover up it up with hate but there was ikarishipping ( paul x dawn) moment before paul battled ash in sinooh league but then again that dawn sometimes like kenny or barry or even ash. but kenny got the most crush on dawn but there is also conway that as crush on dawn so people can like mix up dawn with diffent boys/couples but it is just fantics it never hapennd i hope thois answer helped
When Dawn met Paul, he infuriated her, by telling him he didn't recognize her. After that, he pretty much just interacted with Ash, so their relationship didn't go anywhere. Besides, any main character from the show (excluding Brock) is way too focused on Pokemon to want to date anybody, so Dawn like him and paul was indifferent to her means lack of likeing
=It's not going to happen. Ever. The creators already have the storyboard set and they're not going to change the character's personality AND Pokemon just because you say so. It's just not going to happen.=
Honestly I think that Dawn does not like Paul and to most Pokemon fans they say that Ash and Dawn or Dawn and Gary are going to be together but honestly I don't know who is going to get Dawn. Opinion 2 - Dawn doesn't seem to like Paul all that much judging from the episodes considering how mad she got when Paul forgot her name in "A Gruff Act to Follow" so I'd say no.
Just like hamm's beer....
It's Paul Allen
Paul is 11. NICE AM I RIGHT? :)
