In {{game|Crystal}}, if {{ga|Kris}} is selected, then the male player character will not appear in the game at all (although his sprite will be used in a link battle with another game from Generation II as well as opponents in [[Viridian City]]'s [[Trainer House]]).

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if {{ga|Lyra}} is selected to be the player character, Ethan meets her in [[New Bark Town]] at the start of the game. In this particular scene, he is seen with a {{p|Marill}}. He will always have Marill even if another [[starter Pokémon]] is selected. In addition, he doesn't appear to take the remaining starter Pokémon. His role in the storyline of HeartGold and SoulSilver is similar to that of {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} if they are not chosen as the player character, while Lyra takes this place if he is selected as the player. He teaches the player how to catch Pokémon on {{rt|29|Johto}} (replacing the [[Dude]] from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}).

While playing as Lyra, his grandparents run the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}}. He also gives the player the [[Fashion Case]] in [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] and the [[Vs. Recorder]] on {{rt|31|Johto}}. Naturally, this role is given to Lyra if he is the player character.

{{jo|Jimmy}}, the main protagonist of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', is the first anime counterpart of Ethan, and seems to be based on him in the most basic sense, much more than {{Ash}} was based on his game counterpart, {{ga|Red}}. {{jo|Jimmy}} follows Ethan's design from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Much like Ethan, Jimmy is from [[New Bark Town]] and receives a [[Jimmy's Typhlosion|starter]] from Professor Elm. He also encounters the counterparts of [[Silver (game)#Counterparts|Silver]] and [[Marina (Johto)|Kris]] on his journey.

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