Trivia

• Roy was originally designed by Ken Sugimori before being adapted for the anime by the series' character designers.
• Roy has a stylized Unown R 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.
