Bill is stated to be a genius, graduating from college at an early age and being the creator of several inventions such as the Pokémon Storage System and the Vs. Seeker. Despite seeming like a weak person who constantly gets into trouble he can actually be a capable battler when put to the test.

In the Japanese version, Bill speaks with an Osaka accent. However, an Osaka accent is impossible to render in English; he instead speaks with a very thick Southern or Texan accent, which is commonly used when translating manga and anime due to the similarity in perception of the two accents in the two cultures. His accent was actually so thick as to be unintelligible to some characters within the manga, which provided a source of humor at times. In the [[Chuang Yi]] translation, the accent disappeared in his reappearance in the ''Gold, Silver, & Crystal'' chapter but remained in the [[VIZ Media|VIZ]] translation for a longer period of time before disappearing as well.

Bill is seen talking to [[Cassius]] via video call about the Kalos Storage System in his cottage. Bill gets continuously annoyed with Cassius nonchalant tone and mocking him of his Goldenrod accent. His call is then hung up by Cassius as he tells his assistants about the commotion he hears coming from outside.
