In Generation I, he's called both THE [[Collector|Pokémon Collector]] and "a true blue [[Pokémaniac]]."  Never once do the first generation games call him a [[Scientist|Pokémon Researcher]]. Where did that come from - speculation based on the fact he made the PC System?  He's more of a [[Pokémon Storage System|Sys Ops]] than a Researcher.

Game mention

While visiting Lanette, players can check one of her computers to find an E-mail from Bill. This is the only time that he is mentioned in the game.

I thought it wasn't signed in the Japanese version... ((Ketsuban))
I dunno, but it definitely is in the English version. Anybody refrence that one for me?
It isn't signed in Emerald, but it's very like, considering there are no other storage system developers we know of at that time (except perhaps the Orre developer?). - 刘 (劉) 振霖 07:04, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

In the games section

The English in this section is TERRIBLE. I recognize it was probably written by a non-native speaker, but I haven't the patience to fix it. Someone, PLEASE give it a good copyediting. --DrGaellon (talk | contribs) 04:28, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Pokemon Owned

We should write down the Pokémon Bill owned: Abra, Eevee lv. 20 (I forgot the moves....Tackle, Sand Attack, Tail Whip, Pursuit?) (games)...same with the manga....it'll look more organized. ---ht14 9:39 (GMT) 21 February 2008

That seems like a good idea. --Theryguy512 15:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


Researcher, Collector, or Maniac?

In Generation I, he's called both THE Pokémon Collector and "a true blue Pokémaniac." Never once do the first generation games call him a Pokémon Researcher. Where did that come from - speculation based on the fact he made the PC System? He's more of a Sys Ops than a Researcher. Satosuke 20:26, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

The anime and Electric Tale of Pikachu explicitly label him as a Pokémon Researcher, and Pokémon Special has shown him studying Pokémon in the wild. You're right in saying he's not mentioned as being a Researcher in the games, but in other canon, he's not really just Sys Ops either.
