Roger
Roger (Japanese: ジョン John) is a character of the day of the anime who appeared in Stage Fight. His Japanese voice actor is 緒方賢一 Kenichi Ogata and his English voice actress is Maddie Blaustein.
He was the organizer of the Pokémon Showboat, where Pokémon would act out a play and humans would provide the voices of them.
One night, Team Rocket came aboard the boat and tried to steal all the Pokémon. In the ensuing battle, Weezing used a Smog attack. Initially, it didn't appear to affect anything, but the next day, Roger had lost his voice because of it. Kay, another member of the Pokémon Showboat, convinced Ash and his friends to help out. Ash took Roger's place and the performance went on without any problems.
Trivia
- Interestingly, a character looking very similar to Roger appeared in Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing. He was seen serving ice cream to Butch and Cassidy. It is not known if this is a coincidence, if he is related to Roger, or if it actually is him.
