Roger (ロジャー, Roger) is an adult Pokémon trainer from Eden Town and the father of Silus. He is married to the local Nurse Joy.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Character[edit | edit source]

Roger is a doppelganger of Norman of Petalburg City in Hoenn. He is a tall man with black hair and brown eyes. He wears similar clothes to Norman as well.

Personality[edit | edit source]

Roger is a tough man, with a serious personality. He was hesitant about letting his son, Silus, go on a Pokémon journey at age ten, so he forced him to remain home for seven extra years before reluctantly letting him go. After hearing that Silus had won his first badge, however, he began to soften up slightly.

Like his son, he loves Pokémon, having been a wandering trainer when he was young. A loss during the Caspia Conference caused him to return home to Eden Town in disgrace, thus causing him to be wary of allowing his son into the world of Pokémon. Though he stopped traveling, he never stopped training his Pokémon.

History[edit | edit source]

Roger began his journey like most Pokémon Trainers in modern days, but at the time he became a trainer, Hora didn't yet have a regional professor. Instead, he was brought to his grandfather's home in nearby Freesia Town to get a Poochyena pup from a Mightyena pack that lived on his grandfather's land. Roger and Poochyena bonded quickly, and were soon off on their adventure.

He rocketed through Hora's Pokémon Gyms, managing to get all eight within a year, and applied for the Caspia Conference, with the goal of one day becoming Champion. However, for all his hard work, Roger lost in the first round of the tournament and was sent home in disgrace. Since then, he has been very careful about letting his son go out into the Pokémon world, but eventually relents when Silus turns seventeen.

Mightyena
Main article: Roger's Mightyena

Mightyena was Roger's very first Pokémon when he started his journey. It evolved into Mightyena shortly after he won his second Gym badge and has remained his partner into his adult life. It appears in Parents in Monkshood!, where it easily defeats Silus's Monferno in an attempt by Roger to convince Silus not to take on the Hora League.

Its only known moves are Return and Giga Impact.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • He follows my theme of doppelganger characters, because in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, Norman is the player's father.
    • His Pokémon are also a nod towards the Hoenn based games, as Poochyena is seen at the beginning of the game where it can be fought to save the Professor of Hoenn by using a starter Pokémon; in this case, an evolved Mudkip.
  • He is the only man shown to be married to a Nurse Joy.
