Kotone (Japanese: コトネ Kotone) is a recurring character in the Pokémon anime who debuted in DP143.

Ash and friends first met Kotone when her Marill wandered off and they found it wedged in a wall. She introduced herself as a Trainer from Johto. She came to Sinnoh with her friend, Kazunari and his father in order to observe the Pokémon native to the region. Later she asks Dawn to participate in the Johto Festa. The two girls had a battle but Kotone lost and rewarded Dawn with an egg.

It is implied in DP144 that Kotone has an interest in Ash, though whether it's platonic or a tad romantic remains uncertain. She admires his bravery and wishes that Kazunari would act more like him. Kotone even asks Dawn if she and Ash are a couple though Dawn quickly denies it.

In DP147, she and Kazunari will have a tag battle against Ash and Dawn.

Trivia

• Kotone is the first anime character based off of a female player character seen to have badges.
• She owns the female variation of the Pokédex, as well as the pink model of the PokéGear introduced in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
• Her badge case shows the Zephyr Badge in the improper order: it would normally come before the Hive Badge. Whether this is indicative of the order in which she battled Falkner and Bugsy (as Ash had the Marsh Badge before the Rainbow Badge in Kanto, defeating Sabrina several episodes before Erika) is unknown.
• Kotone has the habit of saying her own name in the end of most of her sentences.
