Continuity mistake: The first time you arrive at Ecruteak City, go to the Burned Tower. After speaking with Eusine, you can see that Silver (your rival) is in the middle of the tower, waiting for you. However, instead of speaking with him, leave the tower, and continue the game until you reach Olivine City. When you arrive, Silver will come out from a gym, speak with you and then go away. However, if you return to the Burned Tower, you can see that Silver is still there, which means he was at two places at once.
