He is popular with fans, though less so than one of his female counterparts, [[Lyra (Pokémon)|Lyra]]. He is also in ''[[Pokémon Masters]].'' He was not canonically known as Ethan until the unveil of ''[[Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver]]'' in late 2009, giving him an official name 10 years after [[Fanon Personal Name|being previously unnamed]]. [[Fanworks]] made before 2009 mostly refereed to him as Gold, after his [[Cross-canon Counterpart|cross-canon counterpart]] in the ''[[Pokémon Special]]'' manga. Many fans prefer the name Gold over Ethan. The Pokémon he is most associated with are [[Togepi]], [[Typhlosion]], [[Marill]] and [[Lugia]]. ==Canon Overview== [characterization, story role, further important appearances] ==== Fanon/Alternate Names ==== The protagonist of ''Gold and Silver'' as well as his cross-canon counterparts have been given several names by fans. Other than Gold, these are: * '''Hiro''', coming from one of the default names in ''Gold and Silver'' if the player does not specify their name.<ref>{{Source|url=https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Ethan_(game)#Optional_names|title=Ethan (game)#Optional_names on Bulbapedia}}</ref> This was a localization of '''Hiroki''' [ヒロキ ], which filled the same slot of data in the game in the Japanese release. * '''Chris''', coming from his default name in ''[[Pokémon Crystal]]''. This was seen as the male equivalent of [[Kris (Pokémon)|Kris]], the female playable character, which originated from this default name for her in Crystal before later becoming canon. ==Relationships == ==== [[M/M]] | ''[[Yaoi]]'' ==== * Ethan is most commonly paired up with [[Silver (Pokémon)|Silver]], forming [[HunterShipping]]<ref>{{Source|url=https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/neverending-romance-the-shipping-list-revival.273465/|archiveurl=|title=Neverending Romance -- The Shipping List Revival on the Bulbagarden Forums, last accessed 18 January 2025}}</ref>.
