 Eric Stuart's most famous roles on Pokémon are that of {{an|Brock}} and [[James]]. He played these until the end of [[season 8]] in July 2006 when Pokémon USA took over the right to air the anime. His main roles were taken over by [[Bill Rogers]] and [[Carter Cathcart|Billy Beach]]. Stock footage was used for seasons nine through eleven for the Pokémon he voiced, but those roles were eventually taken over as well.
-He is alleged to have announced Brock's surname to be Harrison in a July 2006 interview in [[K-Zone]] magazine.

+:K-Zone: Pokémon has been around for 10 years and is as popular as ever. Do you feel honoured to have been a part of it?
+::Eric Stuart: I do. It's a great show to work on. The cast and production team are really special people. I'm honoured to have voiced some very popular characters in the toon world.
+:K-Zone: You get to play the good guy (Brock) and the bad guy (James from Team Rocket). Which is more fun?
+::Eric Stuart: That's a really hard question. I don't like to pick favourites. Brock is funny with his girl-crazy stuff, but James is much funnier overall. I think I actually laugh a lot more when voicing James.
+:K-Zone: Brock seems to be the wisest member of the gang. Is he a good influence on Ash?
+::Eric Stuart: I think he acts like a big brother to Ash. Though his girl-chasing is a little over the top, I think he keeps an eye on Ash and tries to help him make good decisions in his life. I think Brock would do anything for Ash.
+:K-Zone: Apart from Pokémon, what other series have you worked on? And which character has been the most fun?
+::Eric Stuart: Oh boy! Ok, I'll try to give you a list but don't hold it against me if I leave someone's favourite off! Here are the shows and the main voice I did for each one: Yu-Gi-Oh! (Seto Kaiba), Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (Bastion), Ultimate Muscle (Mac Metaphor), Funky Cops, TMNT, GI JOE: Sigma 6 (Hi-Tech), Kirby: Right Back At Ya! (Metaknight), One Piece (VP Schoople). Okay, you get the idea... My favourite role would have to be Seto Kaiba. He's a blast to do.
+::-Zone:How is voicing Pokémon characters different to doing other shows?
+::Eric Stuart: Pokémon has a lot of comedy and a good moral to each story. Some of the other shows are either very dramatic or really goofy. Pokémon has a nice balance.
+:K-Zone: What's something that most Pokémon fans don't know about the series?
+::Eric Stuart: Brock's last name is Harrison.
+:K-Zone: And finally, who's your favourite Pokémon?
+::Eric Stuart: Squirtle. He was the first one I voiced.
 In a 2011 interview, Eric Stuart said his favorite Pokémon movie was ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' because he was able to work on the production team.
