Cole

Cole is the male player character in Pokémon Solar Light & Lunar Dark. His female counterpart is Ella.

In the games
As the protagonist

Cole lives in the peaceful town of Soltree Town with his parents. He and Rodney, his childhood friend and rival, embark on a journey with the help of Pokémon Professor Prof. Pinewood who gives him and Rodney a starter Pokémon (Herovor, Purrlit or Salatad) and a Pokédex. The Pokémon Professor then ask him if he can send him another Trainer from Mossy Town, named Keira, who forgot to come and get her starter Pokémon.

Trivia

 * Water Type Gym Leader Wade from Waytide City is his brother (or Ella's brother if the player chose the female character). Strangely, this is never addressed by the player character's parents.
