Get ready, Trainers — ASP25 is going all-in on Pokémon with a once-in-a-generation celebration featuring two voice actors who have collectively portrayed nearly 100 Pokémon characters. From iconic gym leaders and beloved companions to legendary Pokémon and unforgettable villains, the talent coming to this year’s event is stacked. Whether you’re hunting for autographs, building your dream Funko wall, or just reliving your childhood Pokédex memories, this is a can’t-miss opportunity.
And yes — several of the characters they voice have official Funko Pops, making this a signature collector’s dream.
Known as the voice of Brock, the rock-solid Gym Leader and fan-favorite flirt, Bill Rogers has anchored the Pokémon anime for years. But his contributions go far beyond Brock — he’s voiced more than two dozen Pokémon and characters across seasons and games, giving him serious range in the world of Pokémon.
Here’s a short list of Bill’s Pokémon roles:
Funko note: While Brock doesn’t yet have a Funko (he should!), Lucario does, making this a golden signature target.
A legend in the Pokémon universe, Michele Knotz has brought to life over 70 characters — yes, seventy — including some of the anime’s most iconic voices. She’s Jessie of Team Rocket fame, Misty of Cerulean City, May from Hoenn, and the sweet (yet oddly identical) Nurse Joy. She’s also the voice of the Pokédex and dozens upon dozens of actual Pokémon.
Signature characters voiced by Michele include:
Funko note: Several of Michele’s Pokémon have official Funko Pops, including Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Psyduck, Piplup, and Mr. Mime — all of which she can sign!
Between Bill and Michele, this Pokémon Celebration brings together one of the largest on-site voice actor rosters in ASP history — and nearly 100 Pokémon personalities in total. Bring your cards. Bring your Funkos. Bring your nostalgia. And get ready to catch ’em all… autographs, that is.
