| − | Riley was a powerful Pokémon trainer. At one point, [[Byron]] apparently asked him to a gym leader position, but Riley declined because be believed that Byron's son [[Roark]] should be considered first (it is uncertain if this refers to the Oreburgh gym, in which case this offer happened before Roark became its leader, or the Canalave gym, in which case it refers to Byron's future successor).

In ''Diamond'', ''Pearl'' and ''Platinum'', he was initially found training at Iron Island; at one point he referred to it as his mine, but it is uncertain if he meant that he literally owned the island's mine. |
When [[Lucas (Pokemon)|Lucas]]/[[Dawn]] met him, Riley noted that it was odd for him to be training in the mine, but he offered to team up in traveling through the mine and heal their Pokémon after each battle due to the wild Pokémon being unusually restless. They soon found the cause of the Pokémon's behavior when they met and battled a pair of [[Team Galactic]] grunts. After they defeated Team Galactic, Riley gave the player a [[Riolu]] egg (as well as HM 04: Strength in ''Platinum'') and left to test his skills in other places. | When [[Lucas (Pokemon)|Lucas]]/[[Dawn]] met him, Riley noted that it was odd for him to be training in the mine, but he offered to team up in traveling through the mine and heal their Pokémon after each battle due to the wild Pokémon being unusually restless.

| − | + | *Riley has appeared in two subsequent episodes of the Pokémon anime set on Iron Island, where he specializes in Steel types (but still has his Lucario) and studies the Steel Pokémon on Iron Island. He is revealed to be an Aura Guardian who can use Aura effectively, and after they help Ash and his friends in foiling Team Galactic's plans for the island, Riley decided to help Professor Carolina study the island. The character Sir Aaron from the eighth Pokémon movie (released prior to the fourth generation games) also bares striking resemblance to Riley, but it is uncertain which character was created first and which was based on the other. | |

In the ''Diamond''/''Pearl'' arc, he helps to train Diamond on Iron Island at Byron's request. He later made a brief appearance at the arc's end at Mt. Coronet, where he cornered Sird, but she managed to escape. He reappeared in the ''Platinum'' arc, where he helped [[Palmer]] to track Team Galactic's members to the [[Distortion World]]. | |
