Dawn (Japanese: ヒカリ Hikari) is the female player character of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Her male counterpart is Lucas. If the player chooses Lucas, she will become Rowan's assistant for the game. Dawn lives in Sandgem Town with her little sister, grandfather, and father - who works as an assistant of Professor Rowan. She is already the Professor's assistant at the beginning of the game. She also demonstrates to the player how to capture Pokémon by capturing a wild Bidoof. In Pokémon Platinum, she will also demonstrate how to use the Poké Radar.

Dawn is also a character from the anime who travels with Ash and Brock in Sinnoh. She is modeled after the game character.

Platinum Berlitz from Pokémon Adventures and Mitsumi from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! are based off Dawn's design.

In the games

Story

Dawn lives in Twinleaf Town with her mother and dreams big, so she and her |best friend (and soon-to-be rival) have high hopes of catching the legendary Pokémon of their nearby Lake. After meeting Professor Rowan and his assistant Lucas, they are attacked by wild Pokémon and as a last resort, use the Pokémon in the briefcase the Professor has forgotten. After bringing the Pokémon back Dawn receives the Pokémon she used as well as a Pokédex and goes on to gather the eight badges of Sinnoh, defeat Team Galactic and conquer the Pokémon League all before taking on the Battle Frontier.

In the events of Platinum, Dawn and Barry instead go to visit Professor Rowan at his lab rather than go to the lake in search of a Pokémon of the same rarity as a Red Gyarados, and receive their Pokémon on Route 201 when Professor Rowan realizes that they are so dedicated to Pokémon as to attempt to travel from Twinleaf Town to Sandgem Town through the tall grass without any Pokémon of their own.

Dawn is given the biggest task yet, much larger than previous heroes. She has to stop Team Galactic from trying to use either Dialga or Palkia to destroy the entire universe in order to create a new one. In the events of Platinum, they attempt to use both plus Giratina.

Counterparts

File:Dawn (updated cool image).jpg
Dawn's anime counterpart.

Like most of the other player characters, Dawn has an anime counterpart who shares her name.

Dawn also has two manga counterparts: Platinum Berlitz from the Pokémon Adventures manga series and Mitsumi from the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga.

Trivia

  • In both English and Japanese, Dawn shares her name with an evolutionary stone. However, it is not the same stone: her Japanese name is the same as the name of the Shiny Stone, not the Dawn Stone.
  • After the player defeats the Sinnoh Elite Four and becomes the Champion, Dawn will stay at the front side of Professor Rowan's laboratory in Sandgem Town (if the player chose Lucas). If the player has set the birth date on the DS Settings, she'll say the following in conversation when talked to on that day:

"Is today maybe... Your birthday, (player's name)?"

If "Yes":

"Giggle... Congratulations, (player's name)! And many more happy returns!"

If "No":

"Oh, it isn't? I wonder what made me think that today was your birthday?".


Language Name Reference to
Japanese ヒカリ Hikari Means "light."
English Dawn Probably a reference to Hikari; dawn is the day's first light.
German Lucia From Latin lux, light.
French Aurore Means "dawn" in French.
Italian Lucinda From Luce, Italian for light.
Spanish Maya
Korean 빛나 Bich-na Means "lighting", "shining".
Chinese (Taiwan) 小光 Xiǎo Guāng From 光 hikari, means "young light".
