In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, record mixing can be performed once the player has reached the [[Mauville City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. Two to four [[Game Boy Advance]] systems are needed with one to three link cables. The game will allow up to three other {{player}}s to mix records with the player at once. The record mixing is performed in the '''Record Corner''' (Japanese: '''レコードコーナー''' ''Record Corner''), called '''Record Center''' in the 1.0 release of the English versions of Ruby and Sapphire, which is located on the second floor of any [[Pokémon Center]]. The process requires that each one of the players stands on one of the four colored tiles on the floor. Once this requisite is fulfilled, the players' records will automatically mix with one another.

The process requires that each one of the players stands on one of the four colored tiles on the floor. Once this requisite is fulfilled, the players' records will automatically mix with one another.


While record mixing is possible between any non-Japanese versions of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, it is not possible to mix records between a Japanese Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire game and a non-Japanese Ruby or Sapphire game. It is also not possible to mix records between a Japanese Pokémon Emerald game and a non-Japanese Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire game, but it is possible with non-Japanese Emerald games. When trying to mix records with an incompatible game, the Pokémon Center [[NPC]] in the non-Japanese game(s) will inform the player that they may not mix records in different languages, while the Japanese game(s) will simply display the standard connection error message.
===Compatibility===
For language compatibility of mixing records, languages are grouped as "Japanese" and "non-Japanese" (English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish). Non-Japanese games can mix records with each other regardless of language.


===Television shows===
In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, it is not possible for Japanese and non-Japanese games to mix records with each other. In Pokémon Emerald, it is possible to mix records between the two language groups, as long as both games can do so (i.e. the other game is not Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire of the opposite language group).
 
When trying to mix records with an incompatible game, in non-Japanese games the Pokémon Center [[NPC]] informs the player that they may not mix records with different-language games; in Japanese games, the game displays the standard connection error message.

===Effects===
====Television shows====
Record mixing affects the television shows the player can watch by introducing four additional shows that aren't available in the beginning of the [[journey]]. The people the player mixes records with will be featured in these shows.

===Secret Base===
====Secret Base====
Record mixing will copy and transfer all of the recorded player's [[Secret Base]]s to the player's game. The exact position of the Secret Base and the furniture arrangement of the recorded player's game will be put into the player's. After the player defeats the [[Elite Four]], they can fight the recorded player by entering their own Secret Base and talking to them. It is not like a {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}} {{Pkmn|battle}}, but rather like a normal battle, where items can be used and Pokémon seen will be registered on the [[Pokédex]]. Experience and money gained will be kept as well; however, {{m|Thief|stolen}} [[held item|items]] will not be kept. The recorded player's character will not look like his/her normal Trainer from the game. They will range from being, but not limited to, Trainers such as a {{tc|Ace Trainer|Cooltrainer}}, {{tc|School Kid}}, {{tc|Youngster}}, {{tc|Lady}}, {{tc|Bug Catcher}}, {{tc|Camper}}, and {{tc|Picnicker}}, depending on gender and [[Trainer ID number|ID number]].
{{main|Secret Base}}
After the player obtains [[TM43]] ({{m|Secret Power}}), record mixing will copy and transfer all of the recorded player's [[Secret Base]]s to the player's game. The exact position of the Secret Base and the furniture arrangement of the recorded player's game will be put into the player's. After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], they can fight the recorded player by entering their own Secret Base and talking to them.

===Mauville Pokémon Center men===
====Mauville Pokémon Center men====
Record mixing transfers the player's [[Pokémon Center men]] of [[Mauville City]]; the Pokémon Center man in the player's game will be replaced by a Pokémon Center man from another player's game.
{{main|Old guys}}
Record mixing transfers the player's [[Old guys|Pokémon Center men]] of [[Mauville City]]; the Pokémon Center man in the player's game will be replaced by a Pokémon Center man from another player's game.


====The Storyteller====
====Lilycove Pokémon Center ladies====
Record mixing will also change what the storyteller in the [[Pokémon Center]] of [[Mauville City]] says or does, depending on his color. He tells the {{player}} about [[Pokémon Center men#List of stories|records]] they have set as well as those set with other players they have mixed records with in {{game|Emerald}}. When approached by the player, he will offer them choices of the records they would like to hear about as well as add a comment about it.
{{main|Pokémon Center Ladies}}
In {{game|Emerald}}, the ladies in the Lilycove Pokémon Center will switch between games when records are mixed. Some of their tasks may require multiple record mixing sessions before their rewards can be obtained.


===Pokémon Trainer Fan Club===
====Pokémon Trainer Fan Club====
Another effect would be the Trainers in the [[Pokémon Trainer Fan Club]] will start praising the recorded player depending on how well he or she has done in different areas such as the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}} or the [[Elite Four]]. Normally, the Pokémon Trainer Fan Club would praise the player's achievements and announce themselves as fans of the player.

Normally, the Pokémon Trainer Fan Club would praise the player's achievements and announce themselves as fans of the player.
 
====Feebas factor====
{{main|Trend}}
Record mixing can change the [[trend]] in [[Dewford Town]]. The trend determines the six [[water tile]]s at which {{p|Feebas}} can appear on {{rt|119|Hoenn}}. The tiles Feebas can appear on are the same for players who have the same trend.


===Feebas factor===
====Battle Tower====
Record mixing can change the [[trendy phrase]] in [[Dewford Town]]. The trendy phrase in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} will also affect the pattern of {{p|Feebas}} on {{rt|119|Hoenn}}. By changing the trendy phrase in [[Dewford Town]], the six [[water tile]]s where the {{p|Feebas}} are positioned will change to the same patterns of those the player had mixed records with. The Feebas tiles do not stay in the same spot; rather, they change the next time the trendy phrase is changed.
Record mixing can also change the way the Trainers battle at the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}} and include all recorded players in the Battle Tower. On occasion, the recorded players may be placed with the exact team, moveset, and stats in the spot they lost in the Battle Tower. For example, if the recorded player broke their streak and lost at the 45th battle, it is possible that the player will be able to fight the recorded player at the 45th battle. Furthermore, in Emerald Version, recorded players can also appear as partner Trainers in the Battle Tower's Battle Salon (within the Multi Battle mode), where two of out of the recorded players' three Battle Tower Pokémon will be selected for their [[party]]. All recorded players will have Trainer classes assigned to them whether fought or partnered with, similar to what occurs when battling in a recorded player's Secret Base.


===Battle Tower===
====Eon Ticket====
Record mixing can also change the way the Trainers battle at the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}} and include all recorded players in the Battle Tower. On occasion, the recorded players may be placed with the exact team, moveset, and stats in the spot they lost in the Battle Tower. For example, if the recorded player broke his/her streak and lost at the 45th battle, it is possible that the player will be able to fight the recorded player at the 45th battle.

Record mixing will copy and transfer the [[Eon Ticket]] over from another person to the player's own game. The person with the Eon Ticket must be connected to the Player 1 slot while the rest are in other spots. This will allow access to [[Southern Island]] and catch {{p|Latios}} or {{p|Latias}}, depending on the game. Only the original recipient of the Eon Ticket (through an e-Card or other event) can transfer it via mixing records; players who first receive their Eon Ticket by mixing records cannot transfer it further. The number of Eon Tickets that one recipient can transfer is limited to 30. The number of Eon Tickets a player can distribute will decrease even if the receiving player already has an Eon Ticket.<ref>https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/bcd5fc1481dc540d9007f1a82a2862e7d6e7de77/src/mystery_event_script.c#L150</ref>


===Eon Ticket===
Record mixing is the only way to receive the Eon Ticket in international versions of Emerald. Using this method, the Eon Ticket can be sent to any non-Japanese version of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.

===Record Hall===
====Record Hall====
In {{game|Emerald}}, if a player mixes records with another player of Pokémon Emerald, all their records from the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Record Hall}} will be added to the player's Record Hall and can be compared with one another.

====Mass outbreak====
Mixing records with a player of a different game allows an active [[mass outbreak]] to be transferred between the two games. This allows for {{p|Surskit}} swarms to be transferred from [[Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire]] into {{g|Emerald}}, and {{p|Seedot}} and {{p|Nuzleaf}} swarms to be transferred from Emerald into Ruby or Sapphire.
====Day Care Mail exchange====
If at least one player has deposited a Pokémon holding [[Mail]] in the [[Pokémon Day Care]], mixing records may send the Mail to another game. Any Pokémon that is deposited in the Day Care with either no held item or with its own Mail may receive Mail from another game. If three players are mixing records, one will be ignored when determining which players should swap Mail. If four players are mixing records, Mail will be exchanged between two pairs of players, rather than all four exchanging with each other.

Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Missing information (e.g. how mixing records affects swarms in RSE); rewrite sections and review grammar accordingly, if necessary

Record mixing (Japanese: レコードつうしん record communication) is a mechanism used to share information with other players that is only present in the Generation III and IV games. It makes a return in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl in Generation VIII. It influences certain aspects of regular gameplay such as television shows, Secret Bases, and the water tiles where wild Feebas are located.

This feature was removed in Generation V.

Generation III

Record Corner

In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, record mixing can be performed once the player has reached the Mauville City Pokémon Center. Two to four Game Boy Advance systems are needed with one to three link cables. The game will allow up to three other players to mix records with the player at once. The record mixing is performed in the Record Corner (Japanese: レコードコーナー Record Corner), also mistakenly called Record Center only once in the 1.0 release of the English versions of Ruby and Sapphire, which is located on the second floor of any Pokémon Center. The process requires that each one of the players stands on one of the four colored tiles on the floor. Once this requisite is fulfilled, the players' records will automatically mix with one another.

Compatibility

For language compatibility of mixing records, languages are grouped as "Japanese" and "non-Japanese" (English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish). Non-Japanese games can mix records with each other regardless of language.

In Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, it is not possible for Japanese and non-Japanese games to mix records with each other. In Pokémon Emerald, it is possible to mix records between the two language groups, as long as both games can do so (i.e. the other game is not Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire of the opposite language group).

When trying to mix records with an incompatible game, in non-Japanese games the Pokémon Center NPC informs the player that they may not mix records with different-language games; in Japanese games, the game displays the standard connection error message.

This compatibility is summarized in the table below.

Effects

Television shows

Record mixing affects the television shows the player can watch by introducing four additional shows that aren't available in the beginning of the journey. The people the player mixes records with will be featured in these shows.

  • Today's Smart Shopper - This show will show one of the purchases the recorded player made at a Poké Mart.
  • Pokémon Angler - This show will feature one of the recorded player's recent fishing catches. The presenters will judge the recorded player's technique of fishing and tell everyone the caught Pokémon.
  • Pokémon Today - This show will feature one of the recorded player's recent battle where they caught a Pokémon. The presenters will show what Poké Ball the recorded player's use to catch the Pokémon and if they decided to nickname it.
  • The World of Masters

There are also two shows that appear from the start of the player's journey that will change when records are mixed. These television shows will sometimes feature recorded players in them and their status:

  • Bravo Trainer - The Bravo Trainer show will also feature the recorded player's battles with Gabby and Ty, whether they won, and their opinion of the battle.
  • Name Rater Show - The Name Rater Show will also feature the recorded player's Pokémon. It will display what the Name Rater rated the Pokémon and if they changed their Pokémon's nickname.

Secret Base

Main article: Secret Base

After the player obtains TM43 (Secret Power), record mixing will copy and transfer all of the recorded player's Secret Bases to the player's game. The exact position of the Secret Base and the furniture arrangement of the recorded player's game will be put into the player's. After the player enters the Hall of Fame, they can fight the recorded player by entering their own Secret Base and talking to them. It is not like a Battle Tower battle, but rather like a normal battle, where items can be used and Pokémon seen will be registered on the Pokédex. Experience and money gained will be kept as well; however, stolen items will not be kept. The recorded player's character will not look like their normal Trainer from the game. They will range from being, but not limited to, Trainers such as a Cooltrainer, School Kid, Youngster, Lady, Bug Catcher, Camper, and Picnicker, depending on gender and ID number.

Mauville Pokémon Center men

Main article: Old guys

Record mixing transfers the player's Pokémon Center men of Mauville City; the Pokémon Center man in the player's game will be replaced by a Pokémon Center man from another player's game.

Lilycove Pokémon Center ladies

Main article: Pokémon Center Ladies

In Pokémon Emerald, the ladies in the Lilycove Pokémon Center will switch between games when records are mixed. Some of their tasks may require multiple record mixing sessions before their rewards can be obtained.

Pokémon Trainer Fan Club

The Trainers in the Pokémon Trainer Fan Club will start praising the recorded player depending on how well they have done in different areas such as the Battle Tower or the Elite Four. Normally, the Pokémon Trainer Fan Club would praise the player's achievements and announce themselves as fans of the player.

Feebas factor

Main article: Trend

Record mixing can change the trend in Dewford Town. The trend determines the six water tiles at which Feebas can appear on Route 119. The tiles Feebas can appear on are the same for players who have the same trend.

Battle Tower

Record mixing can also change the way the Trainers battle at the Battle Tower and include all recorded players in the Battle Tower. On occasion, the recorded players may be placed with the exact team, moveset, and stats in the spot they lost in the Battle Tower. For example, if the recorded player broke their streak and lost at the 45th battle, it is possible that the player will be able to fight the recorded player at the 45th battle. Furthermore, in Emerald Version, recorded players can also appear as partner Trainers in the Battle Tower's Battle Salon (within the Multi Battle mode), where two of out of the recorded players' three Battle Tower Pokémon will be selected for their party. All recorded players will have Trainer classes assigned to them whether fought or partnered with, similar to what occurs when battling in a recorded player's Secret Base.

Eon Ticket

Record mixing will copy and transfer the Eon Ticket over from another person to the player's own game. The person with the Eon Ticket must be connected to the Player 1 slot while the rest are in other spots. This will allow access to Southern Island and catch Latios or Latias, depending on the game. Only the original recipient of the Eon Ticket (through an e-Card or other event) can transfer it via mixing records; players who first receive their Eon Ticket by mixing records cannot transfer it further. The number of Eon Tickets that one recipient can transfer is limited to 30. The number of Eon Tickets a player can distribute will decrease even if the receiving player already has an Eon Ticket.[1]

Record mixing is the only way to receive the Eon Ticket in international versions of Emerald. Using this method, the Eon Ticket can be sent to any non-Japanese version of Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald.

Record Hall

In Pokémon Emerald, if a player mixes records with another player of Pokémon Emerald, all their records from the Record Hall will be added to the player's Record Hall and can be compared with one another. The Record Hall contains all of the records that the player has set at the Battle Frontier.

Mass outbreak

Mixing records with a player of a different game allows an active mass outbreak to be transferred between the two games. This allows for Surskit swarms to be transferred from Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire into Pokémon Emerald, and Seedot and Nuzleaf swarms to be transferred from Emerald into Ruby or Sapphire.

Day Care Mail exchange

If at least one player has deposited a Pokémon holding Mail in the Pokémon Day Care, mixing records may send the Mail to another game. Any Pokémon that is deposited in the Day Care with either no held item or with its own Mail may receive Mail from another game. If three players are mixing records, one will be ignored when determining which players should swap Mail. If four players are mixing records, Mail will be exchanged between two pairs of players, rather than all four exchanging with each other.

Generation IV

050Diglett.png This section is incomplete.
Please feel free to edit this section to add missing information and complete it.
Reason: Effects in HGSS

In Generation IV, two to five Nintendo DS systems are needed to mix records. Instead of a separate room, record mixing is integrated into the Union Room, where the players there will automatically mix records with one another.

Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum

Television shows

Some Jubilife TV programs featured in Pokémon Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum are included in record mixing. These include the Trend Tracker show, Trainer Research, and Sinnoh Now. Once records are mixed, these shows will include information about the other players with whom records were mixed. This information includes number of berries picked on a certain day, battles fought, contests won, interviews, and trends.

Feebas factor

Feebas can only be found by fishing on four specific water blocks within the foggy underground lake in Mt. Coronet. The four blocks are random, and change each day. However, when players mix records, all players' Feebas blocks will change to those of Player 1. This can make it easier to obtain Feebas if all players search at the same time.

Great Marsh

Some Pokémon are always available in the Great Marsh, but there are also changing Pokémon which change daily. These Pokémon will appear randomly in one of the six areas, some may not appear for a while, while others appear several days in a row or in multiple areas on the same day. Record mixing synchronizes these changing Pokémon, so that all recorded players have the same Pokémon in the same areas on the same day.

Veilstone Game Corner

All the players who mix records will strangely equalize the chances of winning in the Veilstone Game Corner.

Jubilife TV

If any of the players that mix records have used the Fitting Room on the second floor of Jubilife TV, their gallery photos will be shared with the other players.

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Safari Zone

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, players that mix records will have the same customization of the six panels in the Safari Zone.

In the manga

Ruby viewing his mixed records in Pokémon Adventures

Pokémon Adventures

Ruby & Sapphire arc

In It All Ends Now I, Ruby discovered that he and Sapphire had accidentally mixed records after bumping into each other during their battle against Groudon and Kyogre. Ruby used the feature to see how many times Sapphire had climbed hills, traveled by sea, and visited hot springs.
