Lucas (game): Difference between revisions

Lucas (Japanese: コウキ Kōki) is the male player character of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The female counterpart is Dawn. If the player chooses Dawn, he will become Rowan's assistant for the game. Lucas lives in Sandgem Town with his little sister, grandfather, and father - who works as an assistant of Professor Rowan. He is already the Professor's assistant at the beginning of the game. He also demonstrates to the player how to capture Pokémon by capturing a wild Bidoof.

The character Diamond from the Pokémon Special manga is based off of the design of Lucas.

His English name is derived from "lux", the Latin root word for light, while his Japanese name is a reference to the Japanese word for "brightness" (光輝 kōki), much like Hikari means light (光). It is also similar to 金剛石 kongōseki, a Japanese word for diamond.

In the anime

Lucas has a cameo appearance at the beginning of the 11th Pokémon Movie: Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin, in a battle against Brendan. It is suspected that he started his journey with Chimchar to match up with Dawn's Piplup and Ash's and Paul's Turtwig. His outfit is diffrent colored from the game most likely because Ash wears an outfit simular to his.

Optional names for Lucas (as player character)

Trivia

• Like Pearl having one of his default Japanese names being Shigeru, one of Lucas's default names is Satoshi. In English translations "Ash" is one of default names for Lucas, but there is no "Gary" among Pearl's names. However, this was apparently recognized in German and Korean translations, which also have Ash's and Gary's name as one of Lucas's and Pearl's names.
• One of Lucas's optional names include Todd in English translation and トオル Tōru (Todd's Japanese name) in Japanese translations. Other language versions do not catch this. Another name from show is Jimmy. This one, however is probably coincidental.
• Lucas is 4'7" (145 cm) tall and weighs 83.8 lbs (38 kg).
• Lucas and Dawn are asked if they are a couple by Mars during the Lake Acuity battle: "So what is it? Are you some lovey-dovey couple to the rescue?"
• Lucas's appearance in the beginning of Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet: Shaymin battling Brendan may be a reference to their female counterparts Dawn and May battling in the final round of the Wallace Cup. As with Dawn in the anime so far, Lucas was wearing his Diamond and Pearl outfit, although his attire in Pokémon Platinum had already been revealed.
