Mr. Backlot (Japanese: ウラヤマ Urayama) is the owner of the Pokémon Mansion and Trophy Garden. He is also said to be the owner of Amity Square. His house has a back garden where players can capture wild Pokémon.
He is apparently a compulsive liar, as he will repeatedly insist that a Pokémon appears in his garden despite not even being native to his region. His butler, who serves him well, covers up for his lies, importing said Pokémon into the garden and allowing the player to capture rare Pokémon not found elsewhere in Sinnoh.
In the games
In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Mr. Backlot is said to be the owner of Pokémon Mansion, the Trophy Garden behind it, and Amity Square, in Hearthome City. He resides in his office of the Pokémon Mansion, accompanied by his butler, and a guard. He takes a walk in his garden every morning, and discovers a new Pokémon everyday, surprising his butler. After saying that he is telling the truth about seeing the Pokémon, the butler leaves to add the Pokémon to the garden to cover up for his master's fibs. On any given day, the "planted" Pokémon that was in the Trophy Garden the previous time Mr. Backlot was last spoken with will also still be there, allowing a two-day window to catch each of these Pokémon.
In the anime
He appeared in the episode Hungry for the Good Life!. He is voiced by Kenta Miyake in Japanese and David Brimmer in English. His Pokémon are cared for by Monica.

Trivia
- Mr. Backlot's Japanese name is a pun. His name is "Urayama" (ウラヤマ), but his butler adds shi (し or 氏, which in this case is a more polite form of "Mr.") to his name, making his name sound like the Japanese word for being envious, 羨ましい (urayamashii). In the game, he asks the player "Well? Aren't you jealous?" (どう？うらやましいじゃろ？？) over and over before telling the player what new Pokémon are in his garden.
