She also demonstrates to the player how to capture Pokémon by capturing a wild Bidoof.

Dawn is also a character from the anime who travels with Ash and Brock in Sinnoh. She is modeled after the game character.

Platina Berlitz from the Pokémon Special and Mitsumi from Pokémon DP are based off Dawn's design.
