Here's some examples:
- Today I met this lovely person in JF Forums. The person sounded eager in understanding the English Language! (See I am using 'this/the person' because I do not know their identity - Very indirect!)
Here's another example:
- Today I met YuriTokoro in JF Forums. She sounded eager in understanding the English Language! (Do you see how it varies slightly!?)

In case you don't understand, maybe I can explain this further.
The idea is that he/she is a pronoun while 'that person' is a noun. You can only use a pronoun when the noun it is replacing is clear. Also, in the first sentence, you do not know the gender. There are some people who would use 'he' just for the sake of shortening the sentence but
technically you would have to keep the noun.
I'm sorry if I've confused you further but hopefully this helps.
