Subjects of Fannish Interest & Meta
Will and Lucian, Lookalikes?
When Lucian was introduced in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, many fans noticed how similar he looked to Will. Both are psychic-type specialist Elite Four members who have colorful hair, red clothing, and seem somewhat androgynous. When Will received a redesign for Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver, the similarities only became more pronounced. There's a lot of fanart featuring these two side to side for this reason.
