Character of the day: Hareta

• Hareta (Japanese: ハレタ) is the main character of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure and the adopted grandson of Professor Rowan.

• When Hareta was little, his father, Kaisei, left him in the custody of Professor Rowan.

• Hareta is extremely defensive of Pokémon and is angered when he sees them getting abused.

• Because of his living with Pokémon most of his life, Hareta is unfamiliar with technology and is prone to being very curious of places like cities or even confusing things as food.

• He has the tendency to forget the names of people, such as when he called Cyrus "Surface" or calling Mars "Mabs."

• Hareta chose Piplup as his Starter Pokémon. Similar to Dawn's Piplup, it held an Everstone at first but later on, it could not bear all the energy because of it and evolved into a Prinplup then immediately into an Empoleon in the same chapter, after Mitsumi removed the stone.

• Hareta owns a Regigigas and befriended five other legendary Pokémon including a Deoxys, a Giratina, a Dialga, a Palkia, and a Shaymin.

• His appearance indicate that he is based on Lucas; however, his hairstyle is vastly different and his vest lacks the white stripe that appears on that of Lucas.
