'''Ethan''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ヒビキ}}''' ''Hibiki'') is the main {{player|playable character}} in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and is the male choice in {{game|Crystal}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In Crystal, his female counterpart is {{ga|Kris}}, while in HeartGold and SoulSilver, his female counterpart is {{ga|Lyra}}.
 
==Terminology==
He was first named '''Ethan''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ヒビキ}}''' ''Hibiki'') when he appeared as a [[non-player character]] in [[Generation IV]] games. He is also known by {{mas|Ethan|the same name}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].
 
In the game manuals from [[Generation II]], his name depends on the current game: '''Gold'''{{sup/2|G}}, '''Silver'''{{sup/2|S}}, or '''Chris'''{{sup/2|C}} (Japanese: '''{{j|ゴールド}}''', '''{{j|シルバー}}''', or '''{{j|クリス}}''').
 
The different names are seen in the player's story from the game manuals. For instance:
* ''"The Professor showed '''Gold''' three Pokémon [...]"'' (referring to the player in Pokémon Gold's manual)
* ''"The Professor showed '''Silver''' three Pokémon [...]"'' (referring to the player in Pokémon Silver's manual)
 
In the player's story from Pokémon Crystal's manual, the Japanese name '''{{j|クリス}}''' simultaneously refers to either player character. However, this was adapted as "'''you'''" instead in the English version. For instance:
 
* Japanese version of Crystal's manual:
*: 「'''クリス'''はパートナーとなる1{{ruby|匹|ぴき}}のポケモンを{{ruby|選|えら}}ぶと」 ('''''Kris/Chris''' chooses 1 partner Pokémon and [...]'')
* English version of Crystal's manual:
*: ''"After '''you''' choose your Pokémon [...]"''
 
In several game screenshots from the English manual of Pokémon Crystal, the male player character is named '''Chris'''.
 
In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]], his name is '''{{j|サトシ}}'''{{sup/2|G}} ''Satoshi'' or '''{{j|シゲル}}'''{{sup/2|S}} ''Shigeru''. These are {{Ash}}'s and {{Gary}}'s respective Japanese names, and correspond to the second entry in the list of optional names for {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} in {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
 
In [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]], he appears as an unnamed player character.
 
Before he received an official name in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, most fans called him '''Gold''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ゴールド}}''' ''Gold'').

He is a caring young boy who lives with his mother in [[New Bark Town]]. He had no official name in Generation II, but was unofficially known by fans as '''Gold''' ('''ゴールド''' ''Gold'').
==In the core series games==
===As the protagonist===
Ethan's journey as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} begins when [[Professor Elm]] asks him to run an errand for [[Mr. Pokémon]], who lives north of [[Cherrygrove City]] on {{rt|30|Johto}}. Because he may encounter dangerous [[wild Pokémon]] along the way, Elm gives him a choice between three Pokémon to protect him: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Chikorita}}.


==Storyline in the games==
Ethan spots another boy his age watching Elm's Lab from outside. When Ethan tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves him away. This boy, {{ga|Silver}}, will become Ethan's rival.
===When selected as the player character===

Because he may encounter dangerous wild [[Pokémon]] along the way, Elm gives him a choice between three Pokémon to protect him: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Chikorita}}.


Ethan meets another boy his age watching Elm's Lab from outside. When he tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves him away. The boy, {{ga|Silver}}, will become Ethan's rival, analagous to {{ga|Blue}} in [[Generation I]].
Ethan continues onward and finally meets Mr. Pokémon and completes his errand. While there he meets [[Professor Oak]] who, upon realizing Ethan's bond with his new Pokémon, gives him a [[Pokédex]]. On his way back home, Ethan again meets Silver, who has stolen one of Elm's remaining Pokémon. After defeating the boy in battle, the boy tells Ethan his name{{sup/2|GSC}}/Ethan learns the boy's name from his dropped {{ga|Trainer Card}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}, and Ethan relays it to the police in New Bark Town. Professor Elm allows Ethan to keep the Pokémon he chose earlier, and also encourages him to compete in the [[Johto League]].

Professor Elm allows Ethan to keep the Pokémon he chose earlier, and encourages him to compete in the [[Johto League]].
Ethan begins on a Pokémon journey in the [[Johto]] [[region]], facing off against its eight [[Gym Leader]]s, defeating and disbanding the revived [[Team Rocket]], and becoming [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]] by defeating the [[Elite Four]] and its previous Champion, [[Lance]] at [[Indigo Plateau]]. Along the way he also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures and not just as tools for battle.


From there Ethan begins on a Pokémon journey in the [[Johto]] [[region]], facing off against its eight [[Gym Leader]]s, defeating and disbanding the revived [[Team Rocket]], and becoming [[Champion|League Champion]] by defeating the [[Elite Four]] and its previous Champion, [[Lance]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Along the way he also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures and not just as tools for battle.
After being declared the Pokémon League Champion, Ethan then journeys by [[S.S. Aqua|ship]] from [[Olivine City]] to [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]]. Traveling around that region, he battles against another set of eight Gym Leaders. Upon getting permission from [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]], Ethan heads for [[Mt. Silver]] via {{rt|28|Kanto}}. His journey comes to a close when, deep in Mt. Silver's cave, he faces the Champion from Pallet Town, Pokémon Trainer {{ga|Red}}, who had been training there since shortly after he became Pokémon League Champion [[Generation I|three]] [[Generation III|years prior]].


After being declared the League Champion, Ethan then takes a short trip on a ship, the [[S.S. Aqua]], from [[Olivine City]] to [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]]. Journeying across that region, he battles against its own set of eight Gym Leaders. Upon getting permission from [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]], Ethan heads for [[Mt. Silver]] via {{rt|28}}. His journey comes to a close when he faces the legendary trainer {{ga|Red}} deep in Mt. Silver's cave, who had been training there since shortly after he became League Champion [[Generation I|three years prior]].
===As a non-playable character===
====Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal====
In {{game|Crystal}}, if {{ga|Kris}} is selected, then the male player character does not appear in the game, except as opponent in the [[Trainer House]]. Even when playing as Kris, the player's sprite is changed to Ethan's during link battles and in the [[Trainer House]].


===When not selected as the player character===
====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
In {{g|Crystal}}, {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, there is a choice between two player characters. In Crystal, if {{ga|Kris|the female player character}} is selected, then the male player character will not appear in the game at all (although his sprite will be used in a link battle with another game from Generation II). In the fourth generation games, Ethan will appear in a number of cameo roles as a [[non-player character]] when the player opts to use {{ga|Lyra}}. In this capacity he will teach the player how to catch Pokémon; it is later revealed that his grandparents are the [[Day Care couple]] who live on [[Route 34]]. Naturally, when the roles are reversed and Ethan is the player character, this role is given to Lyra.
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if playing as {{ga|Lyra}}, Ethan appears as an NPC in the game. When playing as Ethan, Lyra takes on this role instead.


==Pokémon==
Ethan meets the player in [[New Bark Town]] at the start of the game. In this particular scene, he is seen with a {{p|Marill}}. He teaches the player how to catch Pokémon on {{rt|29|Johto}} (replacing the [[Dude]] from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}). His grandparents run the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}}. He also gives the player the [[Fashion Case]] in [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] and the [[Vs. Recorder]] on {{rt|31|Johto}}.
 
When called from certain locations, Ethan will mention that something will happen if the player takes a certain Pokémon there.
 
====Pokémon====
Ethan uses this party to show the {{player}} how to catch Pokémon when {{ga|Lyra}} is selected as the player character in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

Ethan, who is based on the [[player character]], forms a [[sync pair]] with {{p|Cyndaquil}} and its evolved forms {{p|Quilava}} and {{p|Typhlosion}}, along with {{p|Lugia}} in [[Pokémon Masters EX]]. Ethan became a playable sync pair on January 15, 2020.
 
Ethan has also made notable appearances in the game's Main Stories, [[Legendary Adventures]] and the [[Villain Arc]]. Unlike in {{game|Crystal}}, both Ethan and {{mas|Kris}} coexist in the same game.

==Counterparts==
===In the anime===
[[File:Jimmy.png|thumb|250px|{{jo|Jimmy}}, Ethan's first {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart]]
====Main series====
{{main|Jimmy (Johto)}}
{{jo|Jimmy}}, the main protagonist of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', is the first anime counterpart of Ethan, and seems to be based on him in the most basic sense, much more than {{Ash}} was based on his game counterpart, {{ga|Red}}. {{jo|Jimmy}} follows Ethan's design from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Much like Ethan, Jimmy is from [[New Bark Town]] and receives [[Jimmy's Typhlosion|a first partner Pokémon]] from Professor Elm. He also encounters the counterparts of [[Silver (game)#Counterparts|Silver]] and [[Marina (Johto)|Kris]] on his journey.
 
Ethan's second counterpart has a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', where he had a {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash. This counterpart follows Ethan's updated design from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It has been argued that this is Jimmy in an updated look, rather than a different counterpart, but this counterpart is identified as "Hibiki" (Ethan's Japanese name) in the Japanese DVD of the movie.
 
=====Pokémon=====
This is a listing of Ethan's known Pokémon in the anime:
{{TrainerPoké

|desc=Ethan used {{p|Donphan}} in a battle against Ash at the beginning of the thirteenth movie. During the battle, it fought {{AP|Pikachu}}. It was not shown who won the battle.
 
Donphan's only known move is {{m|Rollout}}.}}
 
[[File:Ethan PG.png|thumb|250px|Ethan in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
 
====Pokémon Generations====
Ethan made two brief appearances in ''[[PG04|The Lake of Rage]]''. First, he and [[Lance]] infiltrated the [[Team Rocket HQ]] separately. He then communicated with Lance through his [[Pokégear]] about updates on their mission, and acted as a decoy for Lance's attacks.
 
Much like the other [[player character]]s depicted in Pokémon Generations, Ethan doesn't have any lines of dialogue.
 
[[File:Ethan Evolutions.png|thumb|left|250px|Ethan in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
====GOTCHA!====
Ethan briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]], using his {{p|Tyranitar}} and {{p|Ampharos}}.

==Trivia==
{{jo|Jimmy}} from the special episode ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', seems to be based off of Ethan in the most basic sense, much more than {{Ash}} was based off his counterpart, {{ga|Red}}. However, like Ash and Red aren't interchangeable, neither are Jimmy and Ethan, nor {{jo|Marina}} and {{ga|Kris}} or {{an|Lyra|anime Lyra}} and {{ga|Lyra|game Lyra}}.
[[File:Sugimori Jimmy anime.png|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s settei for the anime.|thumb|220px]]
 
* The {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} artwork was originally presented in the '''''Official Guidebook of [[Nintendo Space World]] '97''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|NINTENDOスペースワールド'97オフィシャルガイドブック}}'''), along with {{ga|Silver}}, {{prof|Oak}}, {{tc|School Kid|Schoolboy}}, {{tc|Lass}}, {{tc|Firebreather}}, [[Kimono Girl]], {{tc|Fisher}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Donphan}}, and the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|new Pokédex]].
Other counterparts of Ethan include {{adv|Gold}} from [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} from [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]] manga and [[Kinnosuke]] from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.
* Ethan is 4'11" (1.50 m) tall and weighs 88.2&nbsp;lbs (40&nbsp;kg) in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. This was confirmed by checking the heights and weights of certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Pokédex]]. As such, {{p|Clefable}} and {{p|Latias}} are both the same weight as Ethan.
* Ethan is the only male player character to have two female counterparts; {{ga|Kris}} and {{ga|Lyra}}.
* The majority of his Japanese default names from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} are shared with {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Lucas}}. The same holds true for their {{ga|Lyra|respective}} {{ga|Leaf|female}} {{ga|Dawn|counterparts}}.
* A 1997 pamphlet describing {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} mentions that the protagonist has a brother three years his senior. However, this aspect of his character was discarded by the time of the final release.
* On the "Area" map on the [[Pokédex]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Ethan's headshot sprite shows his hat from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. An earlier, unused version of this sprite is also found within other scrapped [[Pokégear]] graphics data, in which {{ga|Kris}} appears instead of {{ga|Lyra}}.
* One of {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}}'s palette swaps in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] has a color scheme based on Ethan's appearance in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* The Japanese optional name カケル ''Kakeru'', along with the English optional name ''Chase'', were eventually given to the {{ga|Chase|male protagonist}} of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* Ethan's first {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart having a different name, {{jo|Jimmy}}, likely stems from the fact that Ethan did not become his canon name until {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* Ethan is the only game protagonist to have two anime counterparts.

Ethan (Japanese: ヒビキ Hibiki) is the main playable character in Pokémon Gold and Silver and is the male choice in Pokémon Crystal, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. In Crystal, his female counterpart is Kris, while in HeartGold and SoulSilver, his female counterpart is Lyra.

Terminology

He was first named Ethan (Japanese: ヒビキ Hibiki) when he appeared as a non-player character in Generation IV games. He is also known by the same name in Pokémon Masters EX.

In the game manuals from Generation II, his name depends on the current game: GoldG, SilverS, or ChrisC (Japanese: ゴールド, シルバー, or クリス).

The different names are seen in the player's story from the game manuals. For instance:

  • "The Professor showed Gold three Pokémon [...]" (referring to the player in Pokémon Gold's manual)
  • "The Professor showed Silver three Pokémon [...]" (referring to the player in Pokémon Silver's manual)

In the player's story from Pokémon Crystal's manual, the Japanese name クリス simultaneously refers to either player character. However, this was adapted as "you" instead in the English version. For instance:

  • Japanese version of Crystal's manual:
    「クリスはパートナーとなる1匹(ぴき)のポケモンを選(えら)ぶと」 (Kris/Chris chooses 1 partner Pokémon and [...])
  • English version of Crystal's manual:
    "After you choose your Pokémon [...]"

In several game screenshots from the English manual of Pokémon Crystal, the male player character is named Chris.

In the Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo, his name is サトシG Satoshi or シゲルS Shigeru. These are Ash's and Gary's respective Japanese names, and correspond to the second entry in the list of optional names for Red and Blue in Pokémon Red and Green.

In Pokémon Puzzle Challenge, he appears as an unnamed player character.

Before he received an official name in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, most fans called him Gold (Japanese: ゴールド Gold).

In the core series games

As the protagonist

Ethan's journey as a Trainer begins when Professor Elm asks him to run an errand for Mr. Pokémon, who lives north of Cherrygrove City on Route 30. Because he may encounter dangerous wild Pokémon along the way, Elm gives him a choice between three Pokémon to protect him: Cyndaquil, Totodile or Chikorita.

Ethan spots another boy his age watching Elm's Lab from outside. When Ethan tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves him away. This boy, Silver, will become Ethan's rival.

Ethan continues onward and finally meets Mr. Pokémon and completes his errand. While there he meets Professor Oak who, upon realizing Ethan's bond with his new Pokémon, gives him a Pokédex. On his way back home, Ethan again meets Silver, who has stolen one of Elm's remaining Pokémon. After defeating the boy in battle, the boy tells Ethan his nameGSC/Ethan learns the boy's name from his dropped Trainer CardHGSS, and Ethan relays it to the police in New Bark Town. Professor Elm allows Ethan to keep the Pokémon he chose earlier, and also encourages him to compete in the Johto League.

Ethan begins on a Pokémon journey in the Johto region, facing off against its eight Gym Leaders, defeating and disbanding the revived Team Rocket, and becoming Pokémon League Champion by defeating the Elite Four and its previous Champion, Lance at Indigo Plateau. Along the way he also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures and not just as tools for battle.

After being declared the Pokémon League Champion, Ethan then journeys by ship from Olivine City to Vermilion City in Kanto. Traveling around that region, he battles against another set of eight Gym Leaders. Upon getting permission from Professor Oak in Pallet Town, Ethan heads for Mt. Silver via Route 28. His journey comes to a close when, deep in Mt. Silver's cave, he faces the Champion from Pallet Town, Pokémon Trainer Red, who had been training there since shortly after he became Pokémon League Champion three years prior.

As a non-playable character

Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal

In Pokémon Crystal, if Kris is selected, then the male player character does not appear in the game, except as opponent in the Trainer House. Even when playing as Kris, the player's sprite is changed to Ethan's during link battles and in the Trainer House.

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, if playing as Lyra, Ethan appears as an NPC in the game. When playing as Ethan, Lyra takes on this role instead.

Ethan meets the player in New Bark Town at the start of the game. In this particular scene, he is seen with a Marill. He teaches the player how to catch Pokémon on Route 29 (replacing the Dude from Gold, Silver, and Crystal). His grandparents run the Pokémon Day Care on Route 34. He also gives the player the Fashion Case in Goldenrod Tunnel and the Vs. Recorder on Route 31.

When called from certain locations, Ethan will mention that something will happen if the player takes a certain Pokémon there.

Pokémon

Ethan uses this party to show the player how to catch Pokémon when Lyra is selected as the player character in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Counterparts

In the anime

Jimmy, Ethan's first anime counterpart

Main series

Main article: Jimmy (Johto)

Jimmy, the main protagonist of The Legend of Thunder!, is the first anime counterpart of Ethan, and seems to be based on him in the most basic sense, much more than Ash was based on his game counterpart, Red. Jimmy follows Ethan's design from Pokémon Gold and Silver. Much like Ethan, Jimmy is from New Bark Town and receives a first partner Pokémon from Professor Elm. He also encounters the counterparts of Silver and Kris on his journey.

Ethan's second counterpart has a cameo appearance at the beginning of Zoroark: Master of Illusions, where he had a battle against Ash. This counterpart follows Ethan's updated design from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. It has been argued that this is Jimmy in an updated look, rather than a different counterpart, but this counterpart is identified as "Hibiki" (Ethan's Japanese name) in the Japanese DVD of the movie.

Pokémon

This is a listing of Ethan's known Pokémon in the anime:

Ethan's Donphan
Donphan
Ethan used Donphan in a battle against Ash at the beginning of the thirteenth movie. During the battle, it fought Pikachu. It was not shown who won the battle.

Donphan's only known move is Rollout.
