Trivia
- Roy was originally designed by Ken Sugimori before being adapted for the anime by the series' character designers.[2][3]
- Roy has an R form Unown on his shirt, which directly alludes to his name.
- Roy's name was changed in the German, Spanish, French, and Portuguese localizations of the anime, presumably due to a naming conflict with Raihan, one of the Gym Leaders in Pokémon Sword and Shield, who is named "Roy" in those languages.
