[[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} were voiced by '''Lena Meieran''', '''Ola Fjellvikaas''', and '''Tommy Karlsen''' (born June 9, 1975) respectively. Karlsen, who is most known for his role as the protagonist ''Proffen'' in the popular movie serial ''Pelle og Proffen'', also had many other roles in the series, including {{EF|Drake}}, {{mov|Kai}}, [[Maron]], {{Brocksib|Tommy}}, [[Raoul Contesta]] (from [[AG160]] and up), and other minor roles. His performance as Meowth is heavily based on [[Nathan Price]]'s interpretation of the role. In the DP episodes, he also voices [[Paul]]. Ola Fjellvikaas eventually passed the role of James to '''Kim Fangen''', who later passed the role to '''Simen Sand''' in the beginning of season 8. Sand's interpretation of James is notably much more flamboyant than Fjellvikaas' rendering, taking inspiration from [[Eric Stuart]]'s later work in the role. He also took over the roles of [[Professor Oak]] (who was originally dubbed by '''Even Rasmussen''') and [[Harley]]. | [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} were voiced by '''Lena Meieran''', '''Ola Fjellvikaas''', and '''Tommy Karlsen''' (born June 9, 1975) respectively.

In season 9, [[Professor Oak]]'s role was given to '''Trond Teigen''', a veteran actor and one of the most prominent voice actors in the Norwegian Pokémon dub, best known for being the voice of the narrator since the first episode. He is also the vocalist for several of the Norwegian opening themes, including the opening to the first season, ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]]''. Teigen voiced many other characters in the series, including {{ho|Adam}}, [[Archie]], [[Bill]], {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, [[Butch]], [[Conway]], [[Dee Dunstan]], [[Drew]], [[Fitzwilliam]], [[Forrest]], {{ho|Hal}}, [[Isaiah]], {{ka|Jeremy}}, {{ka|Jonathan}}, {{OBP|Joshua|Coordinator}}, [[Kerrigan]], [[Nando]], [[Nicholai]], [[Professor Birch]], [[Professor Proctor]], {{an|Randy}}, {{ho|Sebastian}}, [[Sigourney]], [[Tate and Liza|Tate]], {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}}, and [[Wallace]]. | In season 9, [[Professor Oak]]'s role was given to '''Trond Teigen''', a veteran actor and one of the most prominent voice actors in the Norwegian Pokémon dub, best known for being the voice of the narrator since the first episode.
