Rowan (ローワンア Rōwan) is the male player character of Pokémon Legends: Arceus that canonically serves as Ten's main character. He is the ancestor of Ryan, Ten's main character in the mainline core series timeline.

In the games[edit | edit source]

Little is currently known about Rowan's life, save that he supposedly originated from the Sinnoh region. When he was still young, he was given a choice between Cyndaquil, Rowlett, and Oshawott by a certain Pokémon professor and chose Cyndaquil to be his first Pokémon. He later went on a journey across Sinnoh and was one of the first humans to document its Pokémon population.

Legacy[edit | edit source]

Rowan went on to have a family and children. At some point in the future, his family settled in the Johto region. His descendent, Ryan, would go on to be a career Pokémon trainer, unknowingly mimicking some of his ancestor's very own decisions—such as choosing Cyndaquil for his first Pokémon. Ryan also journeyed across his family's ancestral homeland of Sinnoh without knowing his ties to the land, becoming the Sinnoh Champion briefly after defeating Cynthia when he challenged the Sinnoh League.

Pokémon[edit | edit source]

Rowan's Pokémon are currently mostly unknown. However, it is known that, like his descendant, he chose Cyndaquil to be his first Pokémon and may have been a Garchomp trainer.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Rowan marks the first time Ten has not used his head-canonical main, named for himself, in a core series Pokémon game.
  • Despite his name, he has no relation to Professor Rowan from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
