Pryce was a champion Trainer in his youth, but was severely burned in a battle. While he was bedridden, his Piloswine went out the door during a severe snow storm and never came back, believing it abandoned him and became cold-hearted. Because of this, he refused to fight Ash thinking him to be a weak Trainer.

Trivia
- Pryce's name derives from "ice." Yanagi, his Japanese name, may come from 山羊 (yagi, "goat" in Japanese, possibly in reference to mountain goats, whose thick fur, thick fat, and fatty, energy-storing humps help them survive in cold environments, or possibly in reference to Capricorn, a zodiac constellation depicting a goat that the sun passes through during the winter).
- In his Generation II sprite he was seen wearing a short-sleeved shirt with stripes, but in the anime his shirt didn't have stripes. His Generation IV artwork and sprite show him to dress more appropriately for the coldness in his gym with a slight resemblance to the clothes he wore in the anime during his youth.
- Despite Pryce being the 7th gym leader in Johto, the levels of his Pokémon are actually lower than the 6th gym leader, Jasmine's Pokémon.
- In the manga, Pryce is in a wheel chair, unlike his anime and game counterpart where he's able to walk, but with a cane.
- His appearance is also somewhat similar to the famed actor Jonathan Pryce.
