[[File:Norman anime.png|250px|thumb|Norman in the anime]]

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Norman is the father of {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and the husband of [[Caroline]].

His final appearances saw him watching May in the [[Wallace Cup]] on television in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]''.

Norman cares deeply for his family, wishing his children to have some quality time and good friends. Norman is also very protective of them, often fighting even more aggressively in the process of protecting them. {{an|May}} and [[Max]] respect their father's extensive efforts to ensure a healthy relationship with them, such as coming home for lunch and playing with his children. In general, Norman is jovial and calm, but at times, he can sometimes overlook things and cannot see the actual problem at hand.

In the broader community, Norman is quite popular for both his looks and his position as a [[Gym Leader]], having an enthusiastic fanbase in [[North Petalburg]] and an emerging image in [[Petalburg City]]. In battle, he is intensely focused and has perfected his Pokémon in both offensive and defensive tactics. Norman commonly utilizes his trio of {{p|Slakoth}}, {{p|Vigoroth}}, and {{p|Slaking}} to confuse his opponents because they are capable of moving at different speeds. Norman gives his opponent credit for an excellent strategy and accepts a loss as critical to personal growth. He enjoys a challenge, wanting to see his opponent struggle to overcome his strategy and sheer power. However, he does not let his children watch the battle, thinking it would distract the challenger. Max claimed that Norman was capable of entering the [[Elite Four]] in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]''.

When {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his Pokémon visit the [[Petalburg Gym]] after getting startled by a Poké Ball that flew from there, they notice Norman drinking and feeling down. Norman revealed to the group as the one who threw the Poké Balls. He then revealed that he felt sad since his {{p|Slakoth}} refused to partake in any battles. Norman takes out a chart and shows it to Red and his Pokémon that the {{Badge|Balance}} is stuck inside Slakoth. After {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} took a nap, Norman explained to Red and his Pokémon that Slakoth doesn't like it when someone is lazier than it. Norman then watched as Clefairy went inside Slakoth to get the Balance Badge. After retrieving it, Norman demanded the group to return the badge to him but Clefairy refused. Afterwards, he became furious about this and chased after Red and his Pokémon since Clefairy refused to return the badge to Norman.
