==Voicing Dawn?==

I'm skeptical about if Emily Williams/Emlyn Morinelli is truly voicing Dawn or not. No VA has been listed for her in the main cast, which I'm sure is what's causing this confusion. But Dawn does not sound particularly similar to other character's she's voiced, such as Officer Jenny, Zoey, or Lucy. I'm really feeling it's a completely different VA. {{unsigned|Shift}}

:Perhaps the information about her voicing Dawn should be removed, as it is currently unconfirmed. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] <sup>[[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]]</sup> 16:27, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

== about the trivia section... ==

Look, I think that the part In regards to her being the first of [[ash's friends]] to have her debut episode dedicated completely to herself has to be tweaked a bit. I mean, yes, it is true that [[Dawn (Anime)|Dawn]] recieved far more development in this episode than any of Ash's friends prior to her, but it is still far from completely dedicated to herself. I mean, If [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] never appeared At All during the episode (Meaning, not even the ending of the episode.), then, yes, she definitely would have had her debut completely to herself. But, since Ash has appeared in the episodes end, we shouldn't really say that it is completely dedicated to herself. If anything, we should say that she has the most development in her debut episode out of all of Ash's friends.
now, if you don't want it to change, that's fine by me. I just wanted to let you know.

::The episode was completely dedicated to Dawn. So Ash had 30 seconds at the end. That doesn't make a difference. My point was that she had more of a premier than the rest of Ash's friends. But Maxim's right. Maybe some of the trivia should be incorporated in he profile. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#0005CD;">☆</span>]][[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#15E200;">ケンジ</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#DC0062;">ガール</span>]] 03:35, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Look, it's your call if you don't want to change it, Kenji Girl, but, the thing is, 30 second appearance or more than 30 seconds, he still very much appeared, Look, if her debut episode was truly dedicated completely to herself, Ash would NEVER, and i do mean, NEVER, have appeared AT ALL. The definition of completely is an adjactive meaning Absolutely, positively, 100% happened. Since 30 seconds was saved for ash, It really shouldn't follow under the term "Completely dedicated to herself". Now, don't get me wrong, as i have said before, she still had quite a bit more of a debut episode than his other companions, but even still, it is still a far cry from being "Completely dedicated" to herself. How about we say "Dawn is the first of Ash's friends to have her debut episode Primarily dedicated to herself rather than sharing half of it to Ash." and keeping the "Ash only appeared in the end"? that way, we would be far more accurate with the info, and yet still convey what we mean.

~~Weedle_McHairybug~~

: That's Tauros droppings and you should know it. 30 seconds in a 22 minutes or so cartoon is nothing. it's a cameo at best. [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]] 13:22, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Cassius335 is right. Only '''30 seconds'''. In a '''25 minutes''' cartoon? This is absollutely '''nothing'''. The episode was '''totally dedicated''' to Dawn, if you think a little more. -'''[[User:Haruka uzumaki|<span style="color:#705898">うずまき</span>]] [[User talk:Haruka uzumaki|<span style="color:#705898">ハルカ</span>]]''' 17:52, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

sigh... have it your way, but I should just say that Ash's appearance was definitely not a cameo considering that what happened during the 30 seconds was a major plotpoint. a cameo has to deal with an appearance of a person, place, or thing that has no bearing to the plot other than as an easter egg. Since Ash's appearance set the next 2 episodes in motion, It definitely wasn't a cameo. Besides, as I have stated before, even if it was just a cameo, It still Proves that the her debut episode was only primarily dedicated to herself. As I have stated before, If it truly was completely dedicated to her, Ash would Never have appeared AT ALL, not even as the 30-second appearance in the ending. but, it is your decision, now if anyone thinks my views should be followed, fine. if you think that my views are nothing more than, as you call it, Tauros droppings, fine, even if i feel that these statements you said are inaccurate. I thought the whole "Primarily dedicated" part would be more accurate than the "completely dedicated" since, while it is still more than what the other characters got, it is still a far cry from a completely dedicated debut. Now, Jimmy/Yoshi, Marina/Dani, And Vincent/Jackson's debut in "Legend of thunder" Is what I would call a Completely dedicated debut to those three considering that Ash never appeared AT ALL. but, as I said, It's your call.

~~Weedle McHairybug~~

Your "major plot point" lasted until only a couple of eps and didn't affect Ep 1's plot in the slightest. Seriously, you're being too anal about this. [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]] 21:52, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

except for maybe Dawn Meeting Pikachu, Ash, Brock, Paul (not to mention Paul meeting Ash), and Team rocket? Or maybe having Ash catch Starly (really, the only reason why Ash even caught the bird in the first place was to try and find Pikachu. Ash and even Brock explicitly stated that. Really, If TR didn't capture Pikachu in the first DP episode, then Ash wouldn't have caught Starly this early In the saga.)? besides, Ash caught all three Kanto starters in three episodes, and the last time I checked, the majority of the fanbase seemed to count it as an important plot point and affected the plot. If they counted THAT as an important plot point and affected the plot, we can most certainly count the 3-episode arc that began the DP saga as an important plot point as well. but, then again, Ignore my ideas, It isn't going to be the first time. I only thought that I should change it because it was somewhat inaccurate, and since wikis are mostly supposed to be accurate, i figured that it should be edited slightly. Now, i might try and edit it on my own accord, but I usually don't do that unless the talk page is unavailable. aw well, theres a first for everything...

~~Weedle Mchairybug~~

''"except for maybe Dawn Meeting Pikachu, Ash, Brock, Paul (not to mention Paul meeting Ash), and Team rocket?"''

That was Ep's 2 and 3, not 1. [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]] 10:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

...Which happened Immediately after the events of the ending of episode 1. If Team Rocket never stole Pikachu, then Dawn wouldn't have Found and Battled Pikachu, Her Bike would never have been Fried, She would not have encountered Team rocket twice, She would NEVER have heard of Ash (remember, she only heard of ash because she was searching for its owner.) She would never have Met Ash, Her Piplup would not have been exhausted from fighting Team Rocket's Mechlekid, thus having it never Meet Brock, etc, etc. BasicallyIf it wasn't for the ending, many of the things that I have listed would never have Happened. But, Hey, it's your call. I just felt it was inaccurate because Completely debuted, to me, makes me think of [[Vincent_(Legend_of_Thunder)|Vincent/Jackson]], [[Marina_(Legend_of_Thunder)|Marina/Dani]], and [[Jimmy_(Legend_of_Thunder)|Jimmy/Yoshi]] in Legend of thunder (Meaning, Ash and co., Ash and Co never appeared In that Special at all.)

Oh, and speaking of which, Haruka Uzumaki, even if it seems relatively insignificant, it definitely isn't absolutely nothing. Team Rocket's appearance in the Debut episode of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] is "Absolutely Nothing", [[Ash's_Friends|Ash's Group's]] appearance in [[Legend of Thunder]] is "absolutely nothing", Team rocket's appearance in [[AG120|Ash and May! Heated Battles in Hoenn!]] is "Absolutely nothing", Brock's appearance in the majority of the Orange Islands is "Absolutely nothing", Ash's 30 second appearance in the debut episode of [[Dawn_(Anime)|Dawn]]? That ISN'T Absolutely nothing. No offense, Haruka Uzumaki, just wanting to clear some things up.

Well, as I have said, It is your call if you don't want it edited.

~~Weedle_McHairybug~~

You're overthinking it. You're putting that 30 seconds in the context of the first 3 eps, but the rest of us only talking about the events of Ep 1. While it did lead in to Ep 2, if you take that 30 seconds out, the rest of Ep 1 would be utterly unaffected. [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]] 18:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

You know, cassius335, Technically DP001 is actually from the episodes [[DP001|Following a maiden's voyage]] to [[DP003|When Pokemon Worlds Collide]] rather than Just "Following a Maiden's voyage", since the first 3 diamond and pearl episodes actually aired as part of a special episode in japan, as well as a TV Movie in the us. but, you do have a point, if you take away 2 and 3. but it should be at least worth noting that she was the first of ash's friends to have her debut episode focused primarily on her rather than half or a third of it to her and half or two-thirds to ash. That way it won't cause confusion to people.

Dude, I didn't say that Ash didn't appear at all. I just said that he had a very little role in it. Is that not the truth? What did Ash do in this episode that was important in this episode besides letting Team Rocket steal Pikachu for the billionth time? --'''[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#15E200;">ケンジ</span>]]''' '''[[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#DC0062;">ガール</span>]]''' 20:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Guys, Sorry If I end up restarting the arguement, but I just want to clear some things up with Kenji-Girl.

even IF you didn't EXPLICITLY say that Ash didn't appear at all, the term "Completely dedicated" usually means "Absolutely all of the Milliseconds, Seconds, Minutes, the ENTIRE half-hour is given to this character", No exceptions (at least, that's what it means to me anyways), which seems to Imply that Ash never appeared in the episode AT ALL. However, Dawn didn't really have her first episode TRULY completely dedicated to herself since, you know, Ash had 30 seconds at the end. It's more 99% dedicated to her than ACTUALLY 100%
(Please don't try and round, since you can't round whole numbers), which, while it IS far more than what the rest of the main cast got (Besides Ash), it isn't really 100% dedicated to Dawn. Do you see my point now?

In regards to what Ash did that was Important in this episode besides the whole "Pikachu is Stolen" factor, He did arrive in Sinnoh, right? that counts as something important.

== Umm... ONLY main character aside from Ash to challenge a Gym? ==

Ok, someone said that in the Trivia section that Dawn is the only Main Character aside from Ash to challenge a Pokémon Gym. But, didn't Team Rocket ACTUALLY challenge Pewter Gym at one point? I mean, this may be debatable, since they were trying to cause a Diversion while Meowth tried to steal the pokéballs (a plan that would have worked if Max didn't stumble upon Meowth doing that.), but still, I'm not sure that Dawn is the First Main character to challenge Gyms besides Ash. I mean, If it said that she was the first of Ash's friends to ACTUALLY challenge a Gym besides Ash, then, yeah, I would agree with you. 

Also, in the main article, it was also said that she is the first main character to lose the appeal round, but that honor Actually goes to Jessie. I mean, really, first of Ash's friends I can understand, but first of Main characters?

really, some of these things REALLY need to be changed.

~~Weedle_Mchairybug~~
:You've got to be kidding me. As you said, they were just battling them as a diversion. Never was the term "gym battle" used. It had nothing to do with a gym battle. 
:Though you are right. Dawn isn't the only main character to challenge a gym leader besides Ash. Misty did challenge that unofficial gym leader in Johto once. I guess they're just saying that Dawn is the only character aside from Ash to challenge an official gym leader in order to earn a badge. --'''[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#15E200;">ケンジ</span>]]''' '''[[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#DC0062;">ガール</span>]]''' 23:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Cassius, why did you HAVE to remove my edit? I mean, The reason why I even MADE that edit is because, technically, she ISN'T the only Main Character aside from Ash to challenge A gym battle. I mean, Misty ALSO challenged a Gym (REGARDLESS of whether it was an official gym or not, she still challenged one). I mean, even Kenji-girl pointed that out in the first post apart from mine! I edited that part of trivia because it would have made MORE sense if it was mentioned to be that she was the only main character ASIDE from Ash to challenge an OFFICIAL gym.

The episode is [[EP256|Just Add Water]], Misty was fighting against the unofficial Water Gym leader of Johto: [[Dorian]], and apparantly beat him with her Psyduck (something that, BTW, he thought was impressive) AFTER he insulted her by calling Lily more beautiful than her. And another thing, we (meaning, bulbapedia's article) know that Ash lost against him, whileas we didn't even mention the outcome of Brock's fight against him.

Why is it so important to you to keep that bit of trivia? Even an admin didn't think it was necessary. It doesn't even have to do with Dawn.

== Shortening Trivia ==

I have some ideas on shortening the Trivia section, but it's sort of a big edit and I don't want to get into a huge edit war. Instead, I'll put it up here and see if other people agree, so that I can proceed to change the article without any complaints.

''* Just like Ash's Pikachu, her Piplup wasn't ready to obey her when they first met. Eventually, they became fast friends.''

:Okay, yes, it's a piece of trivia, but Piplup wasn't obeying Dawn because she wasn't technically the Pokémon's owner yet. But once it became her Pokémon officially, Piplup and Dawn were already friends. I don't think this point is needed.

''* She is the only female main character that doesn't have a sibling.''

:Yes, it does have some information. So, why don't we do this? ''Unlike previous female main characters, she does not have any siblings; she does have two childhood friends that appeared in the anime, Kenny and Leona...'' It lengthens the biography and shortens the trivia, which is two in one!

''* Unlike Ash's other friends, Dawn has already crossed a lot of boundaries that have previously only been held by Ash.''

:It is very interesting, but the continued information about other characters capturing Pokémon is unneeded. Oh yeah, and the Electric Pokémon portion... We don't need to compare it to Ash, because he didn't ''capture'' his Electric Pokémon, he just received it.

''* All of Dawn's Pokémon have used the Heart Seal on their Ball Capsules.''

:Um, what? Is this really interesting enough to be put into the trivia? ._. I don't think we really need this.

''* May and Misty were girls who traveled with Ash Ketchum. Both of them have Japanese names including the katakana カ ka and dub names starting with M, so some fans believed Dawn would as well have a dub name starting with M, because she had カ in her name. However, this was revealed to be false when her English name was revealed to be Dawn, which appears to reference Pokémon Diamond as Paul references Pokémon Pearl. "Dawn" may also be a reference to "Hikari," which means "light"--dawn is essentially the day's first light.''

:Well, the first part is interesting, but the last part just makes it really boring-ish. I suggest we remove everything starting from "however," or maybe everything after "Dawn." It starts off with カ & M, and then just suddenly goes on to what the name Dawn could reference. It's already written below on what the name could reference, so we don't really need it.

''* She is the only one of Ash's friends to lose the Appeal Round in a contest, which she has done twice.''

:Already written in the biography.

Okay, that's all that I think are good things to get rid of. Like I said, I don't want to go into an edit war, though I apologize for making a large wall of text to the talk page. Making these changes ''does'' shorten the Trivia... considerably. — [[User:SpontaneousCombusken|<span style="background:#E57E4C"><span style="color:#F4DA8E;"><sub>spontaneous</sub></span></span><span style="background:#F4DA8E"><span style="color:#E57E4C;">'''Combusken'''</span></span>]] 03:40, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

== Why aren't you guys letting me add this in?! ==

Ok, I was trying to add in this info as to how people reacted to when they saw the DP promo Poster that featured Dawn all by herself:

** Prior to the Japanese airing of [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl|Diamond and Pearl]], a Poster was unveiled showing only Dawn on the poster, causing some people to speculate if she were to replace Ash as the "star" of the Anime.

However, you are claiming that it's not allowed because of "Speculation", even though some parts of the articles, and even an Article itself, in the case of the GSDS, literally reeks with Speculation. I mean, honestly! This happened in the PAST, so the speculation is barely even prevalent. I mean, we were allowed to comment on how Tracey was negatively recieved in the fanbase, as well as how some people hated May and the writers decision to remove Misty, among other things relatively well, so why should this be any different?! [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 21:55, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

:Because this never happened. People don't like Tracey cause he replaced Brock for some time. People don't like May because she replaced Misty. Dawn DID NOT replace Ash. It was a speculation made by fans.

:As for the GSDS article, that is a totally different circumstance than this. The whole page is speculation we know that. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 22:01, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

That's untrue. May going from hating Pokes to loving them? Misty going from completely angry and bloodthirsty to kinda calm due to Togepi? That's still development and it's up to the reader to decide if she did or not, and it's still opinion. It should be removed.

== New voice actress in Latin America ==
Before ''AF The Dubbing House'' started to dub the current season of the anime, Gaby Ugarte (Dawn's Latin American Spanish voice actress) left the dub of the Pokémon series, reasons yet unknown for me.

According to [http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_(Pok%C3%A9mon) Wikipedia (in Spanish)], her new voice actress is called '''Leyla Rangel''', so I think it would be convenient if this info is added. {{unsigned|MusicInfernape}}

== Edit request ==

I suppose this doesn't necessarily have to go where I'm suggesting it, but it should go somewhere.
:While she is the only female main character not to have a sibling, she has two childhood friends that appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{si|Kenny}} and [[Leona]], both of whom call her '''Dee Dee''' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari'') sometimes. Dawn has prevented them from telling Ash and Brock about the reason why she has this nickname, but in [[DP161]] it was revealed that the reason for the name was due to her hair glittering (ピカピカ ''pikapika'') after being shocked by the class pets in her kindergarten, {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}.  The trauma from being teased by her entire class with the name caused her to prevent others from finding out the reason.

== Protection? ==

I was wondering Since we all know that the opening Saikou Everyday! will show that dawn obtains a togekiss and that togekiss is confirmed to appear in DP171 it should be obvious that dawn will obtain it (or maybe it's pre-evolutions) so I'm asking if her page should be protected now...

or maybe until the episode will air? Well it's not my descision anyway... ([[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 13:57, 9 March 2010 (UTC))
:It is protected due to speculation crackdown. We all know that she will get a togekiss but the opening song didn't revealed the episode number. People started speculation thing when the new opening was debuted (it was like DP158). The only way to keep this article away from fake/speculated/fanfiction data, protection is the best thing to do. So, wait until it airs.
