[[File:Jimmy Cyndaquil.png|thumb|250px|{{jo|Jimmy}}, Ethan's first anime counterpart]]
{{jo|Jimmy}} from the special episode ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'' seems to be based on Ethan in the most basic sense, much more than {{Ash}} was based off of his counterpart, {{ga|Red}}. {{jo|Jimmy}} is based off Ethan's earlier design from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} while Ethan's second counterpart is based off his updated design from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. However, as with the other game [[player character]]s, Ethan and Jimmy are not interchangeable.

Ethan's second counterpart has a cameo appearance at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', in a battle against {{Ash}}. This counterpart follows Ethan's design from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It is argued that this is Jimmy rather than a different counterpart but this counterpart is identified as "Hibiki" (Ethan's Japanese name) in the Japanese DVD of the movie.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Before his official name was revealed, some fans referred to him as '''Heart''' (Japanese: '''ハート''' ''Heart''), based on {{game|HeartGold}}, in similar style to {{ga|Leaf}}.
* The {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} artwork was originally presented in the '''''Official Guidebook of {{wp|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|Schoolkid|Schoolboy}}, {{tc|Lass}}, {{tc|Firebreather}}, [[Kimono Girl]], {{tc|Fisherman|Fisher}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Slowking}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Donphan}}, and the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|new Pokédex]].
* Ethan was {{tt|4'11"|1.50 m}} tall and weighed {{tt|88.2 lbs|40 kg}} in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* Ethan is 4'11" (1.50 m) tall and weighs 88.2 lbs (40 kg) in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* Ethan is the only male player character to have two different female counterparts.
* {{ga|Kris}} and {{ga|Lyra}} are both Ethan's female counterparts. This makes Ethan the only male player character to have this trait.
* The majority of his Japanese default names from HeartGold and SoulSilver are shared with {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Lucas}}. The same holds true for their {{ga|Lyra|respective}} {{ga|Leaf|female}} {{ga|Dawn|counterparts}}.
* 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, and seems to imply the possibility of that brother being the {{ga|Red|first-generation protagonist}}. However, this aspect of his character was discarded by the time of the final release, as Red's mother still lives in [[Pallet Town]].

* On the "Area" map on the [[Pokédex]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Ethan's hat is shown in its Generation II design.
* 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}}.
