Pokétch Co. president

The Pokétch Co. President is an unnamed minor character in the Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl anime series (specifically episode DP010, "Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!").

He is the father of Landis and the head of the Pokétch Company in Jubilife City.

In the episode, his son brings Ash, Dawn, and Brock to the company factory after exposing fake Pokétches; the president apologizes for Landis's rash actions (like flushing a fake one), explains a recall of genuine units due to counterfeits, and demonstrates a prototype Friendship Checker app on the protagonists' Pokémon pairs.

It shows strong bonds for Ash/Pikachu and Brock/Croagunk but a weak one for Dawn/Piplup (which he says will grow over time), and he later helps defeat Team Rocket by directing Landis's Shinx to recharge Pikachu with Spark.

He rewards Dawn with a real Pokétch and wishes her luck in the Jubilife Contest; he's briefly recalled by Ash in DP048.
