Lyra (game)

Kotone (Japanese: コトネ Kotone) is the female player character in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. She is the counterpart to Gold in the remakes. Her hometown is New Bark Town and she lives with her mother.

Kotone can be seen talking with Gold in New Bark Town at the start of the game. In this particular scene, she is seen with a Marill. It is unknown if she will always have Marill or if the Pokémon will change if another starter Pokémon is selected. Her role in the storyline of HeartGold and SoulSilver will be similar to that of Lucas/Dawn in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum if they are not chosen as the player character, while Gold will presumably take this place if she is selected as the player.

In the anime

Kotone is set appear in the anime in the DP143 and DP144.

Trivia

• Much as Silver received the fan name Kamon, from the list of his available names, Kotone was known by much of the fandom as "Soul", following the precedent of Red's female counterpart introduced in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. Interestingly, Gold was in fact the only one who appeared in-game in demos with the name Soul: Kotone's name was in fact "Heart" (though likewise, Leaf was a default name for Red in LeafGreen, and Fire a default name for Leaf in FireRed).
