==In the core series games==
===[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]===
;[[Segin Squad's Base]]
* Before battle
:''"You've done a real number on us, party crasher! <{{player}}>, was it? I'm Giacomo! At the deck, I go by DJ Vice! Call me whichever—it's a vibe either way. Nice to meet you and all...but how 'bout we skip straight to your outro? Don't worry—I'll play you a sick requiem as you crash and burn. Let's get this party staaarteeed!"''
* In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"You don't really think things through, do ya? Declarin' war on [[Team Star]] is a real bad move."''
::'''Upon first using {{p|Pawniard}}'s {{m|Metal Claw}}''': ''"This beat drop'll bust your ears open! DJ Vice bringin' the house dooown!"''
::'''After first directly dealing damage to the player's Pokémon''': ''"Ha! How's that for an openin' track?! I'll spin you up good, party crasher!"''
::'''Upon sending out the Segin [[Starmobile]]''': ''"Time to up the tempo! This show ain't over yet!"''
* After being defeated
:''"Guess that's that..."''
* In a flashback after being defeated
:''"Guess that's that..."''
:''"The [[Cassiopeia|big boss]] just wanted my take on some stuff... So we had a chat and settled on a few plans."''
:''"Operation Starfall, first of all. And also...a new code of conduct for the team."''
:''"You know how tons of new members have joined up recently? Well, we figure we gotta make some team rules—like a code—so we'll all be on the same page."''
:''"Hah, no thanks. Waaay too much pressure. I mean, yeah. I used to be president of the student council. But you know everyone ended up hating me after that, right?"''
:''"My point exactly! So you'll all agree that I shouldn't be let anywhere near this new code."''
:''"OK, OK, thanks for the ego boost, everyone. I'll do it... I'll write up the darn code."''
* After the flashback
:''"I did the best I could..."''
:''"I wrote that code myself, and there's no goin' back on it now. My days as a boss are over. So here—take my [[Badge|Star Badge]], would ya?"''
:''"I'll give you this choice [[TM062|TM]], too. You earned it fair 'n' square."''
:''"Haaah. So this is how the party ends... But let's talk about those Pokémon of yours. They're crazy strong, huh."''
:''"You learn those {{pkmn|Trainer}} chops at the academy? Like, what [[move]]s you should use 'n' stuff?"''
::'''Sure did!''':
::'''Nope''': ''"Huh. OK... You like it at the academy? Havin' fun?"''
:::'''Yeah, I'm enjoying it!''': ''"No kiddin'..."''
:::'''It's not the best...''': 
:''"Whoa-ho! Wasn't expecting a giant pompadour to make a guest appearance today. You get a {{p|Quaxwell}} to style that up for ya?"''
:''"Sure. I can tell it's gonna be somethin' annoying, but I guess I'm newly freed up for time."''
:''"That's what you wanna know? As it happens, we're actually waitin' on a pal...though we don't know if they'll be comin' back."''
:''"They're only the strongest boss in all of Team Star! Like how there's a Top {{pkmn|Champion}} who's the absolute number-one Trainer, y'know? They're the one who invited us other bosses to form the team. We call 'em the "big boss.""''
:''"Wouldn't we like to know. We haven't heard from 'em in, I dunno...must be a year and a half now. We thought that if we kept Team Star going, then they'd get back in touch one day. But the teachers keep pressin' us to call it quits, and then we get party crashers like you two..."''
:''"Maybe the big boss did ditch us... They were talkin' about breakin' up the team before and all."''
:''"Heh. Is the sky blue? Let me put it in words you eggheads at the academy might understand..."''
:''"They're my greatest treasure."''

;Team Star flashbacks
* After [[Mela]] is defeated
:''"How 'bout we leave it at that, folks? It's almost time for the big event."''
:''"They already got in touch with all the bullies and asked 'em to head over to the schoolyard."''
* After [[Atticus]] is defeated
:''"Seems our outift upgrades are all wrapped up, then! Thanks a ton, Atticus. With you two lookin' like absolute beasts, anyone who crosses us will be sweatin' bullets!"''
:''"All right, gang. Let's move on to the next step. It's time to put our backs into our battle training so we're all prepped for Operation Star. We gotta be stronger than everyone else in the team—that's what bein' a boss means!"''
* After [[Ortega]] is defeated
:''"The problem's clearly that we're not givin' it enough juice. You designed this thing to be powered by two {{p|Charcadet}}, but it's just too heavy."''
:''"Mela! Cool it, would ya?"''
:''"You know, Mela shoots her mouth off an awful lot, but she means well."''
* After [[Eri]] is defeated
:''"Nah, don't worry 'bout it. We're the ones who asked you to put us through some tough battle practice so we can train up."''
:''"See? Nothin' but gratitude. To us, you're the brightest star in the whole team!"''
* After [[Penny]] is defeated
:''"Hold up—are you sayin' we should break up the team...? You gotta be joking!"''
:''"I guess you're right... This little stunt might've put us up the creek."''
:''"Why? There's no reason for you to stay shut in your room anymore, right?"''

;[[Naranja Academy|Naranja]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}
* In the schoolyard, after Penny is defeated
:''"Yo, Big Boss! Long time no see!"''
:''"OK, gang, on the count of three! One, two..."''
:''"Hasta la vistar, Cassiopeia! ☆ And hello, Penny!"''
:''"Does that mean what I think it means...?"''
:''"Far as we heard, you only went through with it to save us from getting expelled! You were just worried about us, right?"''
:''"We were already talkin' about how great it'd be to have both Team Star and school in our lives. This'd be a sweet deal for us!"''
* In the entrance hall
:''"Hmph... Guess we're still not exactly gettin' a warm welcome here, huh?"''
:''"True story. We gotta fix this, my man. Time for a change of tack!"''
:''"Buh? I mean, uhhh..."''
:''"How 'bout we say a big, friendly howdy to everyone here? Like, just yell it. Loud as we can."''
:''"Hold up—lemme explain. You know [[Ryme]], right? She does this at her concerts, no joke. If the crowd ain't hyped at the start of the show, she'll shout the loudest greetin' you ever heard into the mike. Like "S'UP Y'ALL" or whatever! Lifts the mood like nobody's business."''
:''"OK, smart guy. So we're optin' for the cold shoulder treatment forever, then, are we?"''
:''"It would, wouldn't it? So yeah. Our only option is to yell at everyone so they know we're nice. Here, I'm gonna go for it..."''
:''"HEEEY!!! MORNIN', Y'AAAAAALL!!! HOW WE ALL FEELIN' TODAAAY??!!"''
:''"EVERYONE HAVIN' A GOOD TIIIIIIME??!! C'mon, Ortega—you gotta do it, too!"''
:''"THANKS FOR COMIN' TONIGHT!!! Quick! Say it!"''
* In the entrance hall, after completing [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] DLC
:''"Yo, <player>! Not every day we get to see him round the academy, huh?"''
:''"You doin' all right, pal? Not sure what to make of that dumbfounded look you got goin' on there."
:''"Man, now that you mention it, I guess this is the first time he's seeing us lookin' all proper in our academy uniforms, huh? Yeesh. Now I feel all awkward about it... But hey, let's clear things up. It's me—Giacomo! Or DJ Vice when you catch me at the deck!"''
:''"We came in today to take some makeup tests. Figured it was about time we started clawin' back all that learnin' we missed out while we were holed up in our bases."''
:''"Hey, Eri... You think <player> could help us out with our ongoing sitch?"''
::'''What're you both thinking?'''/'''Can I help with something?''': ''"We've got a little proposal for ya... How'd you like to be a tutor?!"''
:''"Whoops. Right you are, Eri. So, ah, OK. Basically, the other Team Star bosses are havin' a rough time of it..."''
:''"Those three, yup. They've been takin' makeup tests like us, but they sure ain't passing 'em... They might actually have to repeat the year, which would suck after all the effort they put in to come back to school. Before you ask—me an' Eri have already tried tutoring them ourselves..."''
:''"Nope. You know, I seriously didn't think those three'd have such a hard time. I mean, for me, it feels like all you need to do to pass tests is learn formulas and memorize stuff. Guess I just can't wrap my head around what it is they can't wrap their heads around..."''
:''"We heard from Penny that your grades are pretty decent. I bet even Ortega and the others would perk their ears up if you dropped by to teach 'em! Which loops us right back to my opening refrain. Think you could help tutor for us?"''
:''"Whoops—almost forgot! We gotta keep this under wraps, OK? No telling Penny! We've stressed her out enough for one lifetime—there's no way we can bother her with this!"''
:''"You all set to tutor the other Team Star bosses up to test-bossin' level?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Music to my ears! Let's go lay down a killer study sesh!"''
::'''No''': ''"Hey, don't sweat it—we're not goin' anywhere. Come on back whenever you're ready."''

*In the classroom, after completing The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero DLC
:''"'Sup, gang! Studying hard, I hope?"''
:''"Pretty much. Your eyes start glazing over the second I'm out the door. Tell me I'm wrong."''
:''"Hey now, be nice! <Player>... Wait, no, Professor <player> is gonna be your tutor!"''
:''"Hey, don't worry about Ortega—he just doesn't want you to see him flounderin'."''
:''"Sorry about this, <player>, but you think you could go find Mela for us? She'll be somewhere in the academy for sure! We'll stay on standby here and get everythin' prepped for our killer study sesh."''
:''"Nahhh, we're all good, right? The dream study team's all here—that's what counts! Time's a-wastin', so I say let's hit the books! Take it away, Professor <player>! These three are countin' on ya!"''
:* When tutoring Ortega
::'''She must truly think he's terrible''': ''"OK, no, hold up! Why would they ask you to analyze this if the answer's written right there? I just...feel like that's not the right call..."''
::'''She must actually love him a lot''': ''"You sure about that, my man? I'd have thought you of all people would relate!"''
:::''"Only that you do exactly the same thing with <player>! You're always snappin' at him/her and bein' difficult, but you actually respect him/her a ton, don'tcha?"''
::'''We can't know what's in her heart''': ''"OK, no. Hold up! There's no way the correct answer is somethin' as lazy as that. I just...feel like you should rethink this one..."''
:* If interacted with during the tutoring
::''"Leave the music to me! I'll keep a steady stream of lo-fi chill beats playin' for ya."''
:''"All right, gang, I'd say it's about time we cue the outro and wrap up today's study sesh!"''
:''"Penny?!"''
:''"So what happened was..."''
:''"Yeah, isn't that takin' it a bit far?"''
:''"Haha! Careful, my man—that was dangerously close to a straight-up compliment! You can just come right out and say you like the idea. We all know you're thinkin' it!"''

;Segin Squad's Base
* Upon initiating a Star Barrage rematch
:''"You gotta defeat 50 Pokémon in 10 minutes. Should be a breeze with your skills! All right, Segin Squad, time to take the stage! Let the music play!"''
* Upon losing or forfeiting a Star Barrage rematch
:''"Guess you were off your game, huh? Come challenge us again when you're back in form! Like a li'l angry Pokémon usin' {{m|Payback}}, you know? That's the mood I want from you!"''
* Upon winning a Star Barrage rematch
:''"This time, you defeated 50 Pokémon in... <number> minute(s) and <number> second(s)!"''
:''"Here's <number> [[League Point|LP]] from me for your efforts. Hasta la vistar! ☆"''
* When approached
:''"Our old pal <player>!"''
* If spoken to
:''"Hey, it's my old pal, <player>! Lemme guess—you're here for a battle, right?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Thanks for answerin' the call of the stage! I'll have you dancin' to my tune in no time!"''
::'''No''': ''"Whoa, that's actually kind of a bummer. Come back whenever you wanna tango!"''
* In battle
::'''After sending out first Pokémon''': ''"Welcome to the main stage! DJ Vice here, kickin' off today's sessioooooon!"''
::'''Upon sending out his last Pokémon''': ''"Should've known this'd turn into a battle of the bands. Sucks for you the audience is on my side!"''
::'''Upon first using {{p|Kingambit}}'s {{m|Kowtow Cleave}}''': ''"Heads up, bud—it's about to get evil up in here! You won't learn nothin' if I hold back, after all!"''
::'''Upon being defeated''': ''"That's some next-level flow you've got there!"''
* After being defeated
:''"You turned my melody into a threnody... Can't say I'm too stoked about it, but nice work! Hasta la vistar! ☆"''
* If spoken to again on the same day
:''"You think I got it in me for an encore right now? I'm flattered, but that's just not happenin'. Save that energy for tomorrow, pal!"''

: ''"HEEEY! I'M GIACOMO! PENNY'S FRIEEEND!"''
: ''"Cool, cool! Sounds like you've been having more fun on [[Pasio]] than I thought!"''
: ''"I wanna have a jam session with all the musicians on Pasio, too!"''
: ''"Thanks, Penny!"''
: ''"I think I'll liven things up first with a guerrilla gig!"''
: ''"OK! Let's spin it up good, {{p|Kingambit}}!"''

: ''"... ... ..."''
: ''"Hey, that's enough. Can't you tell they wanna be left alone?"''
: ''"Pestering others won't change anything 'bout your current situation."''
: ''"If something's bothering you, there're other ways to deal with it, don't ya think?"''

: ''"My friends and I are part of a team, too, back at my school. It's called Team Star."''
: ''"We were all really frustrated, and this one time, we caused a lot of trouble 'cause of that. Ended up having a ton of regrets about it."''
: ''"Yeah, and I just didn't want [[Team Skull]] to have the same regrets... That's all I wanted to say."''
: ''"Think my tone came off kinda annoying earlier though... Sorry!"''
: ''"Hey, so there's something I noticed..."''
: ''"That, just now! You sound so cool!"''
: ''"The way you rap! That's talent right there!"''
: ''"Then how 'bout this? We'll ask them to find their own treasure that lets them shine. There, problem solved!"''

: ''"What?"''
: ''"Yeah, well..."''
: ''"Yeah..."''
: ''"I might end up making some annoying school rules again if I get involved..."''

: ''"Seems like the crowd's pretty well warmed up..."''

: ''"That's not much of an explanation...but yeah, that about sums [[Lear|him]] up."''

: ''"Pasio Academy is opening soon!"''
: ''"We need to spread the word about the academy, even if just a little!"''

*'''I Wouldn't Mind Teaching!'''
: ''"Ortega's been bugging me about it NONSTOP, so I brought him here to ask."''
: ''"Yeah! In fact, Ortega's family is super rich, too!"''

: ''"Speaking of teachers... Didn't we once ask Juliana to be our tutor?"''

*'''Hasta La Vistar! ★'''

: ''"I'm trying to be good about going around and greeting folks to help break the ice so we can all feel less like strangers."''

: ''"AKA the Dark crew. He used to be a {{p|Pawniard}}, but he's evolved since then."''
: ''"And I also started training other Dark-type Pokémon around then, too, not just Kingambit."''
* On-screen
: ''"It didn't always go how I wanted, at first."''
: ''"But I guess sticking to our training definitely helped us get stronger, little by little."''
: ''"Since I became the boss of the Dark crew, I couldn't go around looking pathetic in front of the other members, y'know?"''
: ''"Anyways, it was tough, getting him to evolve into Kingambit..."''
: ''"Eri coaches all of Team Star in battling, so I was always asking for her advice until, finally, we were able to pull it off."''
:: '''He looks ready for anything!''': ''"Yeah! Anyone who crosses us will be sweatin' bullets!"''
:: '''He looks really tough!''': ''"Yeah, he sure acts like a boss, no doubt."''
: ''"But...even though Kingambit has that strong "I'm a boss" attitude..."''
: ''"he's actually not that great at thinking through complicated strategies."''
: ''"He doesn't sweat the details and just likes to push through with brute force."''
: ''"It's kinda like how some musicians just start ad-libbing after catching the audience's vibe at a concert."''
: ''"When you battle us, <player>..."''
: ''"don't overthink it—just go with the flow and have fun!"''
: ''"It'll be a special concert featuring DJ Vice and Kingambit!"''
: ''"And if you wanna turn it into a battle of the bands, we're always down for that!"''
