'''Televisions''' or '''TVs''' are part of the furniture in most houses in the [[Pokémon world]]. They debuted in [[Generation I]], but were merely for decoration until [[Generation III]]. They have also appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]].
'''Television''', or '''TV''', refers both to systems typically used for broadcasting programs for the purposes of entertainment, education, and information, as well as the devices that receive television signals and display them as audio and video on a screen, often seen as part of the furniture in houses or other buildings in the [[Pokémon world]]. TV sets debuted in [[Generation I]], and while they have always been interactable, they were merely decorative setpieces until [[Generation III]], in which they provide more in-game uses. They have also appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]].

The TV in the player's house displays a movie. Other televisions in these games were merely for decoration purposes. Televisions normally appeared in residential houses. In [[Generation I]], televisions are in the middle of the room.
In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Generation III]] remakes, according to the player's {{ka|Mom}}, it was said on TV that all boys leave home someday (if the player is male) or that all girls dream of traveling (if the player is female).


In Johto, the Goldenrod Radio Tower broadcasts {{DL|Goldenrod Radio Tower|Broadcasted programs|radio programs}}.

====Generation III====
:''See also: [[TV Mauville|Hoenn TV]]''
Television returned in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, replacing [[Generation II]]'s [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|radio broadcasts]] and served a purpose, unlike the Generation I TVs. They were present in most houses in [[Hoenn]], but had a limited function, only showing programs when an event occurs, such as [[Mass outbreak|swarming Pokémon]], or when the {{player}} changes a Pokémon's nickname at the [[Name Rater]]. They may also show interviews with the player character, who answers by selecting words from a drop-down list. When a program is airing, the television screen will flash, and will not cease flashing until the program has been watched. If an event has not happened to activate a television program, the screen will remain blank and the phrase "''Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!''" will be played. The programming is organized by [[Hoenn TV]].
 
=====Player's house=====
The following program only displays on the lower floor. The TV does not flash for this program in Emerald.
:''There is a movie on TV. Two men are dancing on a big piano keyboard. Better get going!''
This is a reference to the movie ''{{wp|Big (film)|Big}}.

======What's That?======
''What's That?'' follows a reporter and a {{p|Watchog}} named Watchy Watchog as they find and identify [[held item]]s.
 
:''Lady: Hello! It's time for the "What's That?" show, where we talk about wonderful items! Today we are talking about {{tt|the|Omitted for Leftovers}} <item>! Watchy Watchog, {{tt|have you heard of the|For most items}}/{{tt|do you know about|For Leftovers}} <item>?

It's up to you to smartly use your <sc>Pokémon</sc> and their moves to reduce the opponent's HP to nothing, and claim victory! I'll show you how to do that in person and for sure!"''

:''"The speedier of the battlers gets to attack first. It looks like my <sc>{{p|Rattata}}</sc> was faster than the <sc>{{p|Pidgey}}</sc>. The battlers take turns attacking and reducing each other's HP. My <sc>Rattata</sc> reduced the foe's HP to zero, so it wins! The <sc>Pokémon</sc> that took part in the battle get EXP. Points. When a <sc>Pokémon</sc> collects enough EXP. Points, it levels up. Leveling up makes your <sc>Pokémon</sc> stronger than before."''

Status problems include {{status|poison}}ing, {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|sleep}}, {{status|burn}}… There are a couple others, but they really are trouble. Get any one, and your <sc>Pokémon</sc> may become useless in battle. You know, it hurts the <sc>Poké Dude</sc> to see a <sc>Pokémon</sc> suffer… So, what should you do if your <sc>Pokémon</sc> gets a status problem?  Well, you've got me to show you!

Using an item on a <sc>Pokémon</sc> uses up one turn, though. Now, it's the {{p|Oddish|opponent's}} turn! Yay! We managed to win!"''
! style="background:#{{Unova color light}}" | Explanation
:''"Poisoning or paralysis don't go away after a battle. If a <sc>Pokémon</sc> is poisoned, it loses HP even while you're walking. You should heal <sc>Pokémon</sc> of these kinds of problems right away. Use an item, or try to get to a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc> for healing. That wasn't hard, was it? All righty, be seeing you!"''

|
| Holding the Big Root boosts the effect of moves that absorb HP by 30%! OK! Shall we go?
|-
| Hey! What's the deal with the trowel?
|
|- style="background:#FFF"
:''"Does everyone know about type matchups? <sc>Pokémon</sc> and their moves all belong to certain types. For example, there are such types as <sc>{{t|Grass}}</sc> and <sc>{{t|Water}}</sc>. You need to consider the type of the move used to attack… And, the type of the <sc>Pokémon</sc> that is hit by that attack. Depending on how those two types match up, the damage can change. You see, it depends n whether the type matchup is good or bad. If you don't know how matchups work, battles will be tough. So, let me demonstrate exactly what I mean. All righty, be seeing you!"''
| [[Binding Band]]
:''"The move <sc>{{m|Bubble}}</sc> is a <sc>Water</sc>-type attack. The targeted <sc>Oddish</sc> is a <sc>Grass</sc>/<sc>{{t|Poison}}</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. The <sc>Water</sc>-type attack is absorbed by the <sc>Grass</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>… As a result, the move becomes not very effective, and inflicts only half the usual damage. Uh-oh, this is not good! The <sc>{{m|Absorb}}</sc> attack you just saw is a <sc>Grass</sc>-type move. <sc>{{p|Poliwag}}</sc> is a <sc>Water</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. So, <sc>Absorb</sc> becomes super effective, doubling the damage. It's not going to be easy to win with this matchup… Let's try shifting <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Shifting <sc>Pokémon</sc> in and out uses up one turn. Now, it's the opponent's turn. <sc>{{p|Butterfree}}</sc> is a <sc>{{t|Bug}}</sc>/<sc>{{t|Flying}}</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Against this <sc>Pokémon</sc>, a <sc>Grass</sc>-type attack……inflicts only half the usual damage on a <sc>Bug</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>… And, it also causes only half the damage on <sc>Flying</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Therefore, <sc>Butterfree</sc>, being a <sc>Bug</sc>/<sc>Flying</sc> <sc>Pokémon</sc>, only takes one quarter of the usual damage. <sc>Oddish</sc> is a <sc>Grass</sc><sc>Poison</sc> <sc>Pokémon</sc>. A <sc>Flying</sc>- or <sc>Psychic</sc>-type attack is super effective against it. One of those types of attacks will inflict double the usual damage. Okay, here we go! Yeah! We won!"''
| Come on! Of course I haven’t!
:''"Is it possible to launch an attack that will inflict heavy damage? Does the opposing <sc>Pokémon</sc> pose a threat to your <sc>Pokémon</sc>? Is there any chance that it may have disastrously tough moves? Watch the type matchups to gain the upper hand! All righty, be seeing you! Oh, for the <sc>Cool</sc>-type <sc>Poké Dude</sc>, <sc>Awesome</sc>-type kids like you match up perfectly!"''

|
| Ooh, shiny!
:''"Today, the <sc>Poké Dude</sc>'s going to show you how to catch <sc>Pokémon</sc>! Just imagine… A groovy <sc>Pokémon</sc> suddenly appearing in the wild! Oh, you want it! You just can't help it! Oh, you have to catch it! You gotta have it! Let me show you how you can make it happen!"''
|- style="background:#FFF"
:''"When you're trying to catch a <sc>Pokémon</sc>, don't throw any <sc>[[Poké Ball]]s</sc> right away. First, you need to weaken it by reducing its HP. Okay, that should be good enough. But, if it's possible, it would be best if the target has a status problem. For instance, it would be easier to catch if it were asleep or paralyzed. This will make the <sc>Pokémon</sc> a lot easier to catch! Oh, yes. If you paralyze a <sc>Pokémon</sc>, you can't make it fall asleep on top of paralysis. In other words, you can't double up status problems, okay? Okay! Let me throw my <sc>Poké Ball</sc>! Before you throw a <sc>Poké Ball</sc>, consider the condition and the type of <sc>Pokémon</sc>, and pick the kind of <sc>Ball</sc> that would work best."''
| [[Eviolite]]
:''"If your first <sc>Poké Ball</sc> fails to catch the <sc>Pokémon</sc>, don't give up! Keep throwing <sc>Poké Balls</sc>… It's bound to work sometime! All righty, be seeing you!"''

| [[Expert Belt]]
|-
| Come on! Like I’d know!
|
| Holding the Expert Belt when attacking makes that attack do more damage when it’s super effective! An amazing 20% more, in fact! OK, then...
:''"Hey, everyone! Do you all have [[TM]]s? A TM, Technical Machine, is an amazingly great item! It teaches <sc>Pokémon</sc> a move that it may not learn when leveling up! Isn't that just great? What a convenient world we live in! Open the <sc>[[TM Case]]</sc> and check out the TMs you have. You can check them out in detail, too."''
| Hey! Why are you putting that on?!
:''"<sc>[[Normal (type)|Normal]]</sc>, <sc>Water</sc>, <sc>Grass</sc>… TMs also come in types. Check the type and teach it to a <sc>Pokémon</sc> that matches up well. For example, <sc>{{m|Water Pulse}}</sc> is suitable for <sc>Water</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc>. <sc>{{m|Bullet Seed}}</sc> is a move that most <sc>Grass</sc>-type <sc>Pokémon</sc> can learn. There's one other thing! Don't just look at the type, read the description, too. It will contain hints about what <sc>Pokémon</sc> might learn the move. For example, take a move like <sc>{{m|Focus Punch}}</sc>. It doesn't sound like anything a bird or fish <sc>Pokémon</sc> can learn. So, try using it on <sc>Pokémon</sc> with arms that can throw punches!"''

I can register it for instant use, and I'll show you how!
| The Focus Band gives the holder a 10% chance of withstanding any attack! It's a little different from the Focus Sash, so don't get them confused! So, Watchy, which do you like better, sashes or bands?
:''And now, your <sc>Teachy</sc> TV is registered. How do you use it? Well, here's how it works. Once an item in the <sc>{{tt|Key Items Pokcet|[sic]}}</sc> is registered, you can use it by pressing <sc>Select</sc>. So, you've given yourself one-touch access to <sc>Teachy</sc> TV.

Our Bond Is True!” That Gym Leader’s eating a Giga Impact for playing me for a fool!
<br>
:''Having defeated the fake Gym Leader, Kricketune and I stood in a daze. We were spent. Drained by a romance that ended in a nightmare. It was then that my childhood friend, the former Bug Catcher, arrived. He did more than that. He confessed his love to me! “I wanted to become an Elite Four member, so I quit as a Gym Leader. But then that faker appeared. You took care of him, though!” Wait, ex-Bug Catcher! What? What are you saying?! Next week: “The Diary of a Poké Romantic,” final episode! “Do it, Kricketune!

! style="background:#{{Unova color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Example
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| {{m|Acrobatics}}
| {{i|Metronome}}
| The user nimbly strikes the target. It's a technical move.
| I’ve heard of the name, at least
| When is the right time to use this move?
| Holding the Metronome and using the same move continuously makes that move do more and more damage! If the holder uses the same move six times in a row, the damage can double! So, here we go! Once, twice...
| Actually, when the user isn't holding any items, the power goes up.
| Hey! Stop the music!
| Sometimes you are late for your friend's party, right? If you use this move, it may have a huge effect depending on your efforts.
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| {{m|Facade}}
| [[Ring Target]]
| James Movesworth's Facade! That's how you use this move.
| Come on! Of course I haven’t!
| Well… Of course, it has a meaning, doesn't it?
| If a Pokémon holds the Ring Target, even attacks that would usually have no effect will hit it! That reminds me! I have a present for you, Watchy! Your very own Ring Target!
| Actually, if you use it when you're poisoned, paralyzed or burned, the power will be doubled. It's a very heroic move.
| Hey! That’s not very nice!
| You sometimes don't feel good when you have an appointment, right? At times like that, use this move. Apart from the fact that you won't feel good the next day, the move has great effects, at least on the surface.
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| {{m|False Swipe}}
| [[Rocky Helmet]]
| The user restrains the move’s power, so the target won’t be wiped out and maintains at least 1 HP. It’s an obviously provocative move.
| Come on! Of course I haven’t!
| When is the right time to use the move?
| When an attack does physical damage to a Pokémon holding the Rocky Helmet, the attacker takes damage, too. I’ll try it! So I put it on, like so, and... OK, Watchy, hit me with your best shot!
| Actually, it’s most effectively used on a Pokémon you want to catch.
| No fair! You’re not a Pokémon!
| Let’s say you have a person whom you secretly admire. If you use this move, you may get the result you want...or not.
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| {{m|Flame Charge}}
| [[Scope Lens]]
| The user cloaks itself with flame and then attacks. It’s quite a hard-core move.
| Come on! Like I'd know!
| Cloaking itself with flame... Won’t its body get hot?
| Holding the Scope Lens makes critical hits land more easily! The Razor Claw also makes critical hits more easily! OK, Watchy! Pick whichever one you want!
| Actually, the move warms up the body nicely, and the Speed of the user goes up.
| Hey! Are we going to duel?!
| Let’s say you’re stranded on a snowy mountain. At times like that, it would be a good idea to use this move. Putting the clothes you’re wearing aside, the move has very wonderful effects.
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| {{m|Fling}}
| [[Shed Shell]]
| The user quickly flings its held item at the target to attack. It’s a surprisingly sloppy move.
| Come on! Like I'd know!
| Its power and effects may vary, correct?
| When a Pokémon is holding the Shed Shell it can switch out of battle, even when it usually wouldn't be able to! Still, I wonder what kind of Pokémon this shell came from…
| Actually, its power and effects depend on the held item.
| Hey! What are you looking at me for?
| Sometimes you have huge worries that you can’t handle just by yourself, right? Use this move, and it will relieve the tension, especially when your target isn’t preoccupied.
|-
|- style="background:#FFF"
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | [[Shell Bell]]
| {{m|Grass Knot}}
| style="background:#FFF" | Come on! Like I’d know
| The user snares the target with grass and causes it to trip. It’s something of a petty move.
| style="background:#FFF" | Suppose you land an attack while holding the Shell Bell. Your HP would be restored by one-eighth of the damage done! The Shell Bell sure has a pretty sound, doesn’t it?
| When is the right time to use this move?
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Hey! That’s it? Just listening to it?
| Actually, it’s best used when the target is heavier than the user!
|}
| Take yourself to the riverside and use this move. Stare at the knotted grass... You’ll feel a weight of melancholy settle on you.
|}
|- style="background:#FFF"
 
| {{m|Incinerate}}
======Trouble Talk======
| The user attacks the target with fire. It's a gracious yet dirty move.
''Trouble Talk'' is a program hosted by Roman mainly for giving advice to teens who send in troubles. In response to each letter, Roman would mention a Gym Leader to support his answer.
| Which part of the move is dirty?
 
| Actually, this move burns certain items the target holds, such as a Gem or Berry.
:''Roman: ‘Suuuuuup, y’all! It’s time for me to help all y’all troubled teens with your traumas, like totally! It’s Trouble Talk time! Lessee…
| Sometimes you're anticipating a bad grade from an exam. At times like that, use this move. It will burn away the bad grade, but only on the paper you get back, just not in your permanent records!
{| class="expandable"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|
| {{m|Leech Seed}}
|-
| It plants a seed on the target and absorbs its HP every turn just little by little. It’s a surprisingly violent move.
|
| Where does the absorbed HP go?
:''Our letter today is from “Pretty Wurmple.” Yo, thanks for watching, Pretty Wurmple! Now whatta we got here… “I love stroking my Wurmple along its belly. You know, it’s just amazing! Depending on where and when you catch one, it totally changes how glossy it is and how it feels! Totally! Don’t you think that’s mysterious? But if I try to talk to my friends about any of this, they say I’m strange… Am I really just a weirdo?” My answer is… No way, José! It’s awesome to have something you really love. You know [[Roxanne]], who’s the Gym Leader in Rustboro City? That girl loves Fossils so much she runs around Hoenn with a hammer in her hand, excavating everything in sight! She’s even been written up in specialist magazines a whole bunch of times! It’s cool to focus on the thing you love like that! Go for it, future Bug-type professor! I’ll be your number-one fan! See ya!
| Actually, the user can restore its HP with the HP the move absorbed.
<br>
| Use this move on a small plant pot, then look forward to checking its growth every day.
:''Our letter today comes from “Shooting for the Stars.” Yo, thanks for watching, Shooting for the Stars! Now whatta we got here… “I want to get buff and look cool so all the girls will like me! Tell me a cool-looking sport to do!” Whoa, whoa, whoa! You are some kinda shallow guy! But, hey, I never said I didn’t like it! So, uh, lemme see… Have you thought about surfing? Yo, tons of cool surfing spots around Dewford, here in Hoenn. They say that the Gym Leader [[Brawly]] moved from Kanto ‘cause you can surf all year! Brawly loves it, and he’s sure got one ripped body, so I think it’ll make you fit and buff, little dude! Whether girls will like you, though, that’s really up to you! See ya!
|- style="background:#FFF"
<br>
| {{m|Mat Block}}
:''Today, our letter’s from “Feeling Cramped.” Yo, thanks for watching, Feeling Cramped! Now whatta we got here… “Sharing a room with my little brother is getting to be pretty tough lately. Our house is too small for me to get a room of my own. How can I make this more bearable?” Whoa. That’s a tough one, all right! How about you rearrange the furniture to make sort of a wall between the two of you? Gym Leater [[Wattson]]—man, is he amazing—traveled all over the world and learned all kinds of city-planning things, and he used ‘em to make Mauville two stories tall! Counting the roof, he tripled the area of the city. And the population has QUADRUPLED! Maybe you can make smart use of your vertical space like he did! If that doesn’t work, plan on spending a lot of time in your Secret Base, I guess! See ya!
| The user uses a flipped tatami mat as a shield to protect against the opposing Pokémon moves. This is a remarkably skillful move.
<br>
| Is there anything that I should be careful about when I use it?
:''Today, our letter’s from “Ma Chérie Macherie.” Yo, thanks for watching, Ma Chérie Macherie! Now whatta we got here… “Every morning I check myself out in the mirror. Today I discovered a huge pimple on my face! I can’t be seen with a pimple on my forehead! I am Lisia’s number-one rival—destined to be a great Contest Spectacular star! It’s a disaster! It’s totally unacceptable! Can you give me an effective beauty treatment to prevent further tragedies?” I feel the searing pain in this letter! Speaking of searing, maybe heat would help. Have you tried going to hot springs? That new Gym Leader [[Flannery]] goes in the hot springs every day, and she’s never had a single skin problem, according to interviews. But really, the most important things have gotta be a balanced diet and enough sleep. I’m backing you all the way, so hold on tight to your dreams! See ya!
| Actually, it can’t protect from status moves, so you can’t let your guard down.
<br>
| Let’s say you have tatamis in your martial arts or yoga classroom. Use this move immediately, and you might find something extraordinary, or not.
:''Our letter today comes from “Special Ball.” Yo, thanks for watching, Special Ball! Now whatta we got here… “I’m applying for college soon, but I don’t know what to major in. I want to study both battling and Pokémon research, and I can’t pick just one!” Whoaaa… You are one hardworking kid! I know ‘cause I hated to study anything! I really admire you, you know? Say… Professor Birch and the Petalburg Gym Leader [[Norman]], that new guy Norman, went to college together. If you could find a place like the one they went to, you could study both battling and Pokémon research! But it’s crazy to ask me about something big like this! Talk to your guidance counselor! Good luck with your applications, and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! See ya!
|- style="background:#FFF"
<br>
| {{m|Mystical Fire}}
:''Today, we’ll look at a letter from “I Love Roselia.” Yo, thanks for watching, I Love Roselia! Now whatta we got here… “I’m going on holiday in Hoenn next month with some friends of mine! Please recommend a city where we can really experience nature to the max!” Ooooh! Thanks for thinking of Hoenn. We’d love to see you! Check out somewhere like Fortree! Staying in their tree houses feels like camping! Oh, and maybe a tour with [[Winona]], where she takes you to observe the wild bird Pokémon in the area! Winona can tell you everything about ‘em, so you’ll really learn a lot! Have a great trip, and we look forward to hosting you in Hoenn! See ya!
| The user attacks the target with flame from its mouth. It’s an undoubtedly fantastic move.
<br>
| Which part of the move is fantastic?
:''Today, we hear from “Ultra Plusle.” Yo, thanks for watching, Ultra Plusle! Now whatta we got here… “My little sister and I don’t get along. We fight all the time, but I’m always the one who gets in trouble from our mom. What can I do?” Whoa-ho-ho! Siblings fighting, huh? Yeah, it happens. I’ve got a little brother, too, so I know eeeee-zackly what you mean, friend! How about this? You know the Gym Leaders in Mossdeep, [[Tate and Liza|Liza and Tate]]? Fact is, those two are complete opposites when it comes to personality and tastes and whatnot! Tate is a calm kid and loves to eat sweets, while rambunctious Liza loves spicy food! That’s just how they are! But they each rely on the other’s strengths to the fullest in Double Battles! Spending time with someone who likes different stuff than you is a chance to experience more and have a richer life! Sorry for dropping philosophy on you, but together, you can both grow more! See ya!
| Actually, the move lowers the target’s Special Attack when it’s used to attack.
<br>
| When people celebrate your birthday, you blow out candles on a cake, right? Use this move to drag out the party so that you won’t feel lonely.
:''Today’s letter comes from “Rainbow Soda.” Yo, thanks for watching, Rainbow Soda! Now whatta we got here… “I want to ask out a girl I like, but where’s a good place for a date?” Smoooooth! Young love, huh? I’ve got it! The hottest date spot these days has gotta be Sootopolis City! Rumor has it that any couple who watches the water illusion show that [[Wallace]] puts on with his Luvdisc will be together forever! Strictly a rumor, of course. Wallace only does these shows when he feels like it, so there’s no guarantee you and your would-be-sweetie can catch one… Guess you’ll have to trust to luck! I’ve got my fingers crossed for you! See ya next time!
|- style="background:#FFF"

| {{m|Payback}}
 
| If the user is the second to attack, the power will be doubled. It's a moderately stoic move.
====Decorations====
| What will happen if both parties use this move?
[[File:Skittytv.png|thumb|The Cute TV]]
| Actually, the slower your Speed is, the more advantage this move has.
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, {{DL|Ornament|TVs}} are sold at [[Lilycove Department Store]] during their Rooftop Sale, and can be used to decorate [[Secret Base]]s. These TVs return in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} as [[Decoration#Appliances|decorations]] for [[Secret Base#Generation VI|Super-Secret Bases]].
| If you use this move on a person who helped you out previously… you'll repay kindness with injury.

| The user can strike first for sure. It's a plainly natural move.
|}
| What if both parties use this move?
 
| Actually, the one with higher Speed can strike first.
===Sinnoh===
| When there is only one seat left in a train, casually use this move. If you don't care what other people think, the move has very good effects.
{{main|TV programming in Sinnoh#Jubilife TV programs|TV programming in Sinnoh → Jubilife TV programs}}
[[File:DPTV.png|thumb|Television in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
[[File:ResortTVSprite.png|thumb|The [[Villa]] TV]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, television screens flash constantly. [[Jubilife TV]] produces many television programs broadcast all around the [[Sinnoh]] region, including the ''Trend Tracker'' show, ''Trainer Research'', and ''[[Sinnoh Now]]''. Each program includes information about events happening around Sinnoh, including [[Mass outbreak|swarming Pokémon]] and [[weather]] affecting different routes. They may also contain information about the player which can be customized by speaking to a number of {{tc|interviewers}} which can be found scattered around the region. Like in the previous generation, the answers to the interviewers' questions are limited, but more answers can be added by learning [[Trend|trendy phrase]]s in [[Snowpoint City]]. At the conclusion of each program, a series of advertisements can be watched.
 
The events of the main storyline in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are encouraged by a television program, ''The Search for the [[Red Gyarados]]''. Later, at the [[Survival Area]], the player will encounter the cameraman responsible for this story. In Pokémon Platinum, this person can be found blocking the entrance to [[Lake Valor]] hoping to see {{p|Azelf}} before [[Team Galactic]] detonates the Galactic Bomb there.
 
There is also a TV in the [[Old Chateau]] which contains a wild {{p|Rotom}} at night (after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and at any time in Platinum).
 
Additionally, a toy [[Goods|TV]] can be used to decorate [[Secret Base]]s in the [[Underground]]. In Pokémon Platinum, a TV can be purchased as [[Villa furniture|furniture]] for the [[Villa]].
 
===Unova===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, televisions show a variety of different programs. The type of television shows that are broadcast at any particular instance depend on the in-game time.
 
For the first ten minutes of every hour, documentaries and a cartoon focusing on the player character are broadcast. Each program acts as a view of in-game statistics, telling the player how many times they have had a Pokémon flee, how much money they have spent at shops, how many Trainers and Pokémon they have defeated, and so on.
 
From ten minutes past to thirty-five minutes past each hour, educational shows are broadcast. These are "The Waving Weaving Walk", which describes various [[Ability|Abilities]]; "Moves for Living", which describes various [[move]]s that are new to the game; and "What's That?", which inspects held items that are new to the games.
 
For the last twenty-five minutes of each hour, other shows such as human interest pieces are broadcast; these include "Eyes on Unova", "Your Pokémon", "Personality Assessment and [[Horoscope]]", "National Gymquirer", and "Unova News". Other programs shown at this time are "{{tt|Koukan|Exchange}} Talk", which teaches {{wp|Japanese language|Japanese}} in the North American games; and "PokéQuiz", which quizzes three kids on the Japanese names of Pokémon. There are even infomercials advertising overpriced items.
 
In {{B2W2}}, all the previous shows are retained, and new shows, such as "The Pokémon Whisperer" and "The Pokémon Live Sports Broadcast" have been added. Instead of airing programs based on the hour, the player can choose from three channels to watch: Celebrity, Battle, and Variety.
 
[[File:DW Flat-screen TV.png|thumb|The flat-screen TV [[Décor]]]]
In {{g|Dream World}}, a flat-screen TV based on the one in the [[player's house]] in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 was available as [[Décor]] from April 4 to May 28, 2013 to Japanese users who input a password.
 
====x:00–x:09====
During the first ten minutes of the hour, the TV shows are about various statistics about the player, such as how many times they have used the move {{m|Struggle}}.

<br>
<br/>
:''Azusa: OSSU, everybody! Are you so GENKI it’s causing everyone else trouble? It’s time for this week’s highly anticipated “KOUKAN TALK”! This is today’s phrase: “Where did you come from?” This is handy! You’ll want to know where your opponent is from! If you want to say this in Japanese, it’s like this! “Doko kara kita no?” Do-ko ka-ra kee-ta no? After that, there’s no doubt you’ll have fun talking about where you’re from! Yeah! OK, so, MATA NE! Bye-bye!
:''Today, we will discuss a Trainer named <player>, who caught <number><!--63--> Pokémon in a single day!''
<br>
:''This Trainer is doing nothing but throwing [[Poké Ball]]s.''
:''Azusa: Yoo-hoo, MINNA! Today I’m a little wound up, so let’s get this “KOUKAN TALK” started! This week’s phrase is this: “What’s your favorite Pokémon?” So what will this sound like in Japanese? “Ichiban suki na Pokémon wa?” Ii-chee-ban su-kee nah po-kay-mo-n wah? Then both of you will know about the other’s favorite! By the way, my favorite Pokémon is <player's lead Pokémon>! OK, see you later! JA NE! Have a good day! Mwah!
<br/>
<br>
:''Today, we will discuss a Trainer named <player>, who defeated this many Trainers in a single day: <number>!
:''Azusa: Meowdy, MINNA! It’s time for “KOUKAN TALK”! Today’s one phrase for communication is this: “Where did you find that?” This phrase can be useful whenever you need it! HAI! So this useful phrase goes like this in Japanese! “Sore doko de mitsuketano?” So-re do-ko de mee-tsu-kay-ta no? When I meet Trainers with a cute <player's lead Pokémon>, I ask them that right away! So with that, MATA ITSUKA AIMASHO! And adios!
:''This Trainer definitely thinks battling other Trainers is the most fun ever!.''
<br>
<br/>
:''Azusa: Hello, MINNA! It’s time for “KOUKAN TALK”! This week’s phrase is: “Nice meeting you”! Use this when parting with someone you just met! At times like this, I say: “Shiri aete yokatta!” Shee-ree ah-e-te yo-ka ta! It’s even better when you say this along with a firm handshake! OK, that’s it for today! JA NE!
:''Today, we will discuss a Trainer named <player>, who defeated <number> Pokémon in a single day!
<br>
:''This Trainer is definitely concerned only with the search for Pokémon.''
:''Azusa: OSSU, MINNA! Yesterday, I fell in love with a TOTTEMO KAWAII Pokémon in the Musical! This is what you say at that time! “I became your fan!” After that, I told it this in Japanese. “Anata no fan ni narimashita!” Ah-nah-ta no fa-n nee na-ri-ma-shee-ta! It was cute! So utterly KAWAII! My beloved <player's lead Pokémon>! Your double-flip jump is just too adorable to be legal! On that note, I’m going to the Musical again today! JA NE!
<br/>
<br>
:''Today, we will discuss a Trainer named <player>, who evolved <number> Pokémon in a single day!
:''Azusa: HAAAI! For good kids and even kids that are a little bad... It’s time for “KOUKAN TALK”! Today’s phrase is perfect for when two people’s thoughts match up, as if by telepathy! “I was thinking the same thing!” “Chodo onaji koto kangaeteta!” Choh-do o-na-gee ko-to ka-n-ga-eh-te-ta! When I say this, the conversation always picks up steam, and then it can’t stop! For that reason, that’s it for today! JA MATA NE!
:''This Trainer surely loves the moment of evolution.''
<br>

:''Azusa: Hello, MINNA! It’s time for “KOUKAN TALK”! Another day, another step closer to mastering global communication! Recently, on the way back from the Musical, someone said this to me: “Your Pokémon looks different!” “Kawatta Pokémon da ne!” Ka-wa ta po-kay-mo-n da nay! I thought it could be a joke, but when I looked at <player's lead Pokémon>...BIKKURI! It was still wearing Props from the Musical! I forgot to take them off! Oops! That would look strange! HAI! That’s it for today! MATA AIMASHOU! See you!

|The Number One "[[Bicycle]]" Trainer!
<br>
|According to our independent research, Nuvema Town's <player> has, amazingly, ridden a Bicycle this many times: <number>!
:''Toru: OSSU! Recently, I met an UTSUKUSHII woman at a party! The second I saw her, I thought I’d seen her before somewhere. But I couldn’t remember her name! So, in this situation, I went up to her, and I said this: “Dokoka de atta koto arukke?” Do-ko-ka de a ta ko-to a-ru keh? It means, “Have we met somewhere?” And what do you think she said to me? “What? I work with you every day. You’re not serious, right?” IYA! It was an all-prettied-up Azusa! SHIMATAAA! So, that’s it for today’s “KOUKAN TALK”! ...I sure hope Azusa will start talking to me again soon!

Let’s translate it! “Koukan shiyou yo!” Ko-o-ka-n shee-yo-o yo! What is important is to have a glint in your eye, like you’re really excited!

:''Toru: MINNA, KONNICHIWA! In today’s “KOUKAN TALK,” we’re going to teach you an aggressive way to proclaim your future victory! “I’m going to win!” “Katsu zo!” Ka-tsu zo! What is important is to emphasize the “zo!” Be aggressive and show where you stand! For example, saying it through clenched teeth would be really cool. You might not even have to battle! Just declare victory like that, and your opponent might get scared and run away! So that’s it for today! Let’s meet again! JA NE!
<br>
:''Toru: KONNICHI-HELLO! It’s “KOUKAN TALK,” which gives you great tips for talking in Japanese! Today’s phrase is this! “What was that about?!” This is something you spout out without thinking when something unexpected happens! This is how you say it in Japanese! “Nandattendayo!” Na-n-da te-n-da-yo! The point is your expression. If you say this while making an expression that says, “What?” II YO! Well, that’s it for today! Please look forward to next week’s installment! MATA RAISHU!

| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Squirtle}}! What is Squirtle in Japanese?
|{{m|After You}}
| OK, you over there!
|After You is a move filled with the spirit of give and take, where you allow the target to attack right after you do.
| Squirtle
|In practical terms, if you see a new dish at a restaurant that you're a little nerous about, you can use this move to make someone else taste it first!
| Turzen
| Zenzen
| So sorry! The answer is Zenigame! Zeh-nee-ga-me! “Zeni” is an old-fashioned word for money. Squirtle’s shells look like old coins, so that’s how they got their name! You can’t use them as coins, though. OK, see you next week! Farewell!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Pikachu}}! What is it called in Japanese?
|{{m|Bestow}}
| No hint is necessary this time, because it’s international! OK, panelists, your answers, please?
|Bestow is a very generous move where you pass an item to the target.
| Electchu
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. Sometimes you receive a gift that will clearly cause trouble, right? You can use this move right away to... No, actually, you'd better wait until the person who gave you the gift has left! But then you can use the move to pass your unwanted gift off to someone else.
| Pikanezumi
| Pikapika
| Oh, too bad! The correct answer is Pikachu! Just like in English! As a matter of fact, wherever you go in the world, Pikachu is Pikachu! OK then, see you next week! Farewell!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Machop}}! OK, what is it called in Japanese?
|{{m|Chip Away}}
| The hint is, “riki” means strength in Japanese. OK, you three over there! Your answers please!
|Chip Away is a very persistent move that keeps striking and ignores all of the target's stat changes.
| Machop
|In everyday life, this move might be handy for winning an argument with a really stubborn person!
| Mabrarian
| Chopchop
| Sorry, that’s incorrect! The correct answer is Wanriky! Wan-ri-kee! “Wan” means “arm,” and “riki” means “strength.” It’s very easy to understand! Well then, everyone, farewell! Mah-mah-machooo!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Lickitung}}! What is it called in Japanese?
|{{m|Echoed Voice}}
| The hint is, its long tongue is called a “bero”! OK, go to work, my energetic three-person team!
|Echoed Voice is a very rugged move whose power grows when you use it in successive turns.
| Lickitung
|I bet you can think of ways to use this move in everyday life without my help! You know how sometimes you have to tell your kids the same thing over and over before they listen? In this situation, parents, teachers, and friends can all use this move and it will be very effective!
| Berong
| Berlong
| Ooh! Too bad! The correct answer is Beroringa! Be-ro-ri-n-ga! Berori is the sound of licking in Japanese! It’s an easy-to-understand name that emphasizes the lo-o-ong tongue it’s known for! OK, se you later! Farewell!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Hoothoot}}! What is it called in Japanese?
|{{m|Foul Play}}
| Here’s a big hint! In Japanese, the sound it makes is “hoo”! OK, you three, start from there!
|Foul Play is a move that gets better the more physically strong your opponent is.
| Hoo
|It's a little sneaky, but you can use it in everyday life. For example, if you're terrible at sports, and you're going up against a big, powerful opponent... Well, it might be considered cheating, but it would get the job done!
| Hoohoo
| Hooareyou
| Oh, Ill was so close! The correct answer is Hoho! Ho-o ho-o! I’ll bet you learned a lot! Well then, see you next week! Farewell!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Beautifly}}! What is it called in Japanese?
|{{m|Guard Split}}
| OK, you three over there!
|Guard Split is a very balanced move that takes the defensive power of both sides and divides it up evenly.
| Beautifly
|Here's a practical application. If you and a friend get lost in the mountains, you could use this move to share your defenses so you can both withstand the cold. It's a great way to test the dynamics of a relationship!
| Flybeauti
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Flyfly
|{{m|Hone Claws}}
| Nope, the correct answer is Agehunt! A-ge-ha-n-to! The “hunt” part makes it sound ferocious for such a pretty Pokémon. OK, see you next week! Farewell!
|Hone Claws is a very clean move where the user's claws are honed and sharpened.
|Ladies could use this move in everyday life. It's like a super-powered manicure!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{m|Low Sweep}}
|Low Sweep is a simple but wild move. It's a swift kick to the lower part of the target's legs.
|It can also be handy in everyday life. Just imagine a lady wearing a short skirt, and she has to kick someone... She can use this move without causing any embarrassment to herself.

|{{m|Magic Room}}
|Magic Room is a very basic move that causes items to have no effect for a certain amount of turns.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose a child is begging you to buy a toy. If you use this move at the exact moment the child picks up the toy, it will counter the "I want this" effect!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Wailord}}! OK, what is it called in Japanese?
|{{m|Psyshock}}
| OK, you three kids there with the confident expressions!
|Psyshock is a very indirect move where the user attacks with a psychic wave that takes physical form.
| Wailord
|It can be used effectively in everyday life, too. For example, sometimes you want to practice comedy routines by yourself, right? If you time this move right, you can smack yourself around for some amazing physical comedy!
| Ohwhale
|- style="background:#FFF"
| Ohwell
|{{m|Quash}}
| Oh! That’s incorrect! The correct answer is Whaloh! It’s pronounced: ho-e-ru-ro-o! “Hoeru” means “wail,” and the “oh” at the end means “king.” Maybe it’s sad and lonely at the top! Has a very noble sound to it, doesn’t it? OK, see you next week!
|Quash is a fantastically stubborn move that makes the target's move go last.

|As for how to use it in life... If, for example, someone you are dating is about to break up with you... Well, you can see how using this move quickly could exhibit dramatic effects!

|{{m|Quiver Dance}}
======The Ability Warrior: Poké Ranger!======
|Quiver Dance is a beautiful, graceful move that raises the user's Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats.
''The Ability Warrior: Poké Ranger!'' is a superhero program that talks about {{Abilities}} as embodied by villains.
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you were invited to your friend's birthday, but you forgot to bring a gift. You could use this move when you arrive at the party, as a distraction... And then it would make you harder to hit if your friend got angry!

|{{m|Reflect Type}}
|

|Shell Smash is a possibly risky move where the user's Speed, Attack, and Sp. Atk stats increase at the expense of defensive power.

:''Poké Ranger: Wow. I shouldn’t take the Ability lightly.
|Simple Beam is a very educational move that changes the target's Ability to {{a|Simple}}, where stat changes are doubled.
:''Overgrow Man: But! I can’t use any Grass-type moves. Still, I’ll thrive on this challenge and fight you!
|Here's how to use it in daily life... Suppose a meeting at work is dragging on and on. Just use this move quickly on all the participants. If they're all Simple, they'll start thinking the same way, the meeting will be over twice as fast! Might not accomplish much, though...

:''Torrent Woman: SPLASH! I’m Torrent Woman! When my HP gets low, the power of Water-type moves goes up. But...you look quite strong. I’m scared... Ohh... Sniffle... Sob...sob... WAAAH!
|Smack Down is a classic and primitive move where something is thrown at a flying target to bring it to the ground.
:''Poké Ranger: What?! S-sorry. I didn’t mean to make you cry...
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose you sent air mail to someone, but then you change your mind and don't want them to read it! You could use this move to knock it down before it gets to them.
:''Torrent Woman: Haha! You let your guard down!

It’s almost like the shot has wings! Wait a minute... Doesn’t it look like there is a heart- shaped mark in the center of that shot? It couldn’t be?! It is! It’s a Woobat that was painted black!

:''Azusa: Hello, MINNA! It’s time for “KOUKAN TALK”! This week’s phrase is: “Nice meeting you”! Use this when parting with someone you just met! At times like this, I say: “Shiri aete yokatta!” Shee-ree ah-e-te yo-ka ta! It’s even better when you say this along with a firm handshake! OK, that’s it for today! JA NE!
| [[Rocky Helmet]]
<br>
| Come on! Of course I haven’t!
:''Azusa: OSSU, MINNA! Yesterday, I fell in love with a TOTTEMO KAWAII Pokémon in the Musical! This is what you say at that time! “I became your fan!” After that, I told it this in Japanese. “Anata no fan ni narimashita!” Ah-nah-ta no fa-n nee na-ri-ma-shee-ta! It was cute! So utterly KAWAII! My beloved <player's lead Pokémon>! Your double-flip jump is just too adorable to be legal! On that note, I’m going to the Musical again today! JA NE!
| When an attack does physical damage to a Pokémon holding the Rocky Helmet, the attacker takes damage, too. I’ll try it! So I put it on, like so, and... OK, Watchy, hit me with your best shot!
<br>
| No fair! You’re not a Pokémon!
:''Azusa: HAAAI! For good kids and even kids that are a little bad... It’s time for “KOUKAN TALK”! Today’s phrase is perfect for when two people’s thoughts match up, as if by telepathy! “I was thinking the same thing!” “Chodo onaji koto kangaeteta!” Choh-do o-na-gee ko-to ka-n-ga-eh-te-ta! When I say this, the conversation always picks up steam, and then it can’t stop! For that reason, that’s it for today! JA MATA NE!

:''Azusa: Hello, MINNA! It’s time for “KOUKAN TALK”! Another day, another step closer to mastering global communication! Recently, on the way back from the Musical, someone said this to me: “Your Pokémon looks different!” “Kawatta Pokémon da ne!” Ka-wa ta po-kay-mo-n da nay! I thought it could be a joke, but when I looked at <player's lead Pokémon>...BIKKURI! It was still wearing Props from the Musical! I forgot to take them off! Oops! That would look strange! HAI! That’s it for today! MATA AIMASHOU! See you!
| Come on! Like I'd know!
<br>
| Holding the Scope Lens makes critical hits land more easily! The Razor Claw also makes critical hits more easily! OK, Watchy! Pick whichever one you want!
:''Azusa: Hey, MINA-SAN! It’s time for “KOUKAN TALK”! Today, I’ll teach you this question to ask when you see a Pokémon that you are interested in! “Where did you catch that Pokémon?” “Sono Pokémon doko de tsukamaeta no?” So-no po-kay-mo-n do-ko de tsu-ka-mah-e-ta no? Then you can go catch one for yourself! OK, that’s it for today! MINNA, bye-bye!

| [[Shed Shell]]
<br>
| Come on! Like I'd know!
:''Toru: Hey, everyone! How ya doin’? Ha ha! Whether you’re feeling good or bad, it’s time for “KOUKAN TALK”! This week’s phrase is: “Check out this Pokémon!” This is like telling someone: Hey, have a look at my Pokémon! It’s so cool! Woot woot! When you want to say that in Japanese, say this! “Kono Pokémon mite!” Ko-no po-kay-mo-n mee-te! With this, you can show off your Pokémon to each other, right? OK, thanks for watching this week! MATA KONDO!
| When a Pokémon is holding the Shed Shell it can switch out of battle, even when it usually wouldn't be able to! Still, I wonder what kind of Pokémon this shell came from…
<br>
| Hey! What are you looking at me for?
:''Toru: Hey hey, is everyone explosively GENKI today?! “KOUKAN TALK” comin’ at’cha! Today’s single phrase for communication is... “Let me see your Pokédex!” Trainers are always interested in another Trainer’s Pokédex! This is what you say in that situation! “Pokémon Zukan misete!” Po-kay-mo-n zu-ka-n mee-say-te! Now you can have a person who speaks Japanese show you their Pokédex! You have that? URAYAMASHII ZE! OK, have a great day! MATA NE! MINNA!

:''Toru: YA! MINNA! Are you enjoying life? It’s time for this week’s “KOUKAN TALK”! This week’s phrase is for asking your excellent Pokémon rival something, yeah! “How many Badges have you got?” “Ikutsu bajji motteru?” Ii-ku-tsu ba ji mo te-ru? YEAH! With this, you can see how far your rival has progressed! Through Pokémon, everyone can be friends and rivals! On that note, I’m going to challenge the Gyms and collect more Badges! MATA NE!
| style="background:#FFF" | Come on! Like I’d know
<br>
| style="background:#FFF" | Suppose you land an attack while holding the Shell Bell. Your HP would be restored by one-eighth of the damage done! The Shell Bell sure has a pretty sound, doesn’t it?
:''Toru: OSSU, MINNA! Today’s “KOUKAN TALK” is a liiittle different than usual! Why? Because today I’m having a fantastic day! So what I’m going to teach you in this fantastic mood is this, KORE! “Are you having a good time?” So you’re thinking, I want to talk to that person! But what should I say? OK, my hypothetical, shy young man or woman! I have the perfect phrase for you! “Tanoshinderu?” Ta-no-shi-n-de-ru? The perfect conversation starter! Just run with it from here! So that’s it for today! See you! MATA NE, MINNA!
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Hey! That’s it? Just listening to it?
<br>

:''Toru: OSSU! Recently, I met an UTSUKUSHII woman at a party! The second I saw her, I thought I’d seen her before somewhere. But I couldn’t remember her name! So, in this situation, I went up to her, and I said this: “Dokoka de atta koto arukke?” Do-ko-ka de a ta ko-to a-ru keh? It means, “Have we met somewhere?” And what do you think she said to me? “What? I work with you every day. You’re not serious, right?” IYA! It was an all-prettied-up Azusa! SHIMATAAA! So, that’s it for today’s “KOUKAN TALK”! ...I sure hope Azusa will start talking to me again soon!
<br>
:''Toru: KONNICHIWA, MINNA! We’re getting back to the basics on today’s “KOUKAN TALK”! Today, we will introduce a very basic phrase! “Let’s trade!I almost don’t need to explain this phrase! Let’s translate it! “Koukan shiyou yo!” Ko-o-ka-n shee-yo-o yo! What is important is to have a glint in your eye, like you’re really excited! If you communicate your excitement, I’m sure you can make a good trade! So that’s it for today! See you, everyone! JA NE!
<br>
:''Toru: YA, MINNA! In today’s “KOUKAN TALK,” I’m going to introduce something that’s often said to me. “You’re kidding!” There is often a lot of shocking news in my circle of friends. When I said I saw a bright-red <player's lead Pokémon>, this is what they said to me! “Jodan deshou!” Jo-da-n de-sho-o! You’re kidding! I’m serious! I saw a very angry <player's lead Pokémon>, and its face was bright red! ...Man, I was scared! So that’s all for today! MATA KONDO, everyone!
<br>
:''Toru: MINNA, KONNICHIWA! In today’s “KOUKAN TALK,” we’re going to teach you an aggressive way to proclaim your future victory! “I’m going to win!” “Katsu zo!” Ka-tsu zo! What is important is to emphasize the “zo!” Be aggressive and show where you stand! For example, saying it through clenched teeth would be really cool. You might not even have to battle! Just declare victory like that, and your opponent might get scared and run away! So that’s it for today! Let’s meet again! JA NE!
<br>
:''Toru: KONNICHI-HELLO! It’s “KOUKAN TALK,” which gives you great tips for talking in Japanese! Today’s phrase is this! “What was that about?!” This is something you spout out without thinking when something unexpected happens! This is how you say it in Japanese! “Nandattendayo!” Na-n-da te-n-da-yo! The point is your expression. If you say this while making an expression that says, “What?” II YO! Well, that’s it for today! Please look forward to next week’s installment! MATA RAISHU!
<br>
:''Toru: Hello, everyone! In today’s “KOUKAN TALK,” we will teach you the question to end all questions! “What’s your hobby?” Use it with people you’ve just met! Use it with people you’ve known forever! In Japanese, you say this: “Shumi nani?” Shu-mee nah-nee? That should get the conversation going! Well, that’s it for today! Please watch again! MATA KONDO!

Depending on where and when you catch one, it totally changes how glossy it is and how it feels! Totally! Don’t you think that’s mysterious? But if I try to talk to my friends about any of this, they say I’m strange… Am I really just a weirdo?” My answer is… No way, José! It’s awesome to have something you really love. You know [[Roxanne]], who’s the Gym Leader in Rustboro City? That girl loves Fossils so much she runs around Hoenn with a hammer in her hand, excavating everything in sight! She’s even been written up in specialist magazines a whole bunch of times! It’s cool to focus on the thing you love like that! Go for it, future Bug-type professor! I’ll be your number-one fan!

Yo, tons of cool surfing spots around Dewford, here in Hoenn. They say that the Gym Leader [[Brawly]] moved from Kanto ‘cause you can surf all year!

Our house is too small for me to get a room of my own. How can I make this more bearable?” Whoa. That’s a tough one, all right! How about you rearrange the furniture to make sort of a wall between the two of you? Gym Leater [[Wattson]]—man, is he amazing—traveled all over the world and learned all kinds of city-planning things, and he used ‘em to make Mauville two stories tall! Counting the roof, he tripled the area of the city. And the population has QUADRUPLED! Maybe you can make smart use of your vertical space like he did! If that doesn’t work, plan on spending a lot of time in your Secret Base, I guess! See ya!

It’s totally unacceptable! Can you give me an effective beauty treatment to prevent further tragedies?” I feel the searing pain in this letter! Speaking of searing, maybe heat would help. Have you tried going to hot springs? That new Gym Leader [[Flannery]] goes in the hot springs every day, and she’s never had a single skin problem, according to interviews.

Rumor has it that any couple who watches the water illusion show that [[Wallace]] puts on with his Luvdisc will be together forever! Strictly a rumor, of course.

[[File:DPTV.png|thumb|Television in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
|- style="background:#FFF"
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} television screens flash constantly. [[Jubilife TV]] produces many television programs broadcast all around the [[Sinnoh]] region, including the ''Trend Tracker'' show, ''Trainer Research'', and ''[[Sinnoh Now]]''. Each program includes information about events happening around Sinnoh, including [[Mass outbreak|swarming Pokémon]] and [[weather]] affecting different routes. They may also contain information about the player which can be customized by speaking to a number of {{tc|interviewers}} which can be found scattered around the region. Like in the previous generation, the answers to the interviewers' questions are limited, but more answers can be added by learning [[Trend|trendy phrase]]s in [[Snowpoint City]]. At the conclusion of each program, a series of advertisements can be watched.
|Bonadventure{{sup/5|BW}}
 
|[[Lenora]]{{sup/5|BW}}
The events of the main storyline in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} are encouraged by a television program, ''The Search for the [[Red Gyarados]]''. Later, at the [[Survival Area]], the player will encounter the cameraman responsible for this story. In {{v2|Platinum}}, this person can be found blocking the entrance to Lake Valor hoping to see {{p|Azelf}} before [[Team Galactic]] detonates the Galactic Bomb there.
|I saw it... Lenora, in the middle of the night...talking to bones in the museum! I also heard a man's guttural laugh... It was scary!{{sup/5|BW}}
 
|I see. Very horrific. But, I'll bet it was just her husband, [[Hawes]]. He has a weird laugh...{{sup/5|BW}}
There is also a TV in the [[Old Chateau]] which contains a wild {{p|Rotom}} at night (after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] in Diamond and Pearl, and at any time in Platinum).

===Unova===
|[[Roxie]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, televisions show a variety of different programs. The type of television shows that are broadcast at any particular instance depend on the in-game time.
|This is a story about the first time I ever went to one of Roxie's shows! Many fans collapsed from the toxic power of her songs. Roxie's really a toxic shock to the system, isn't she?!{{sup/5|B2W2}}
 
|Maybe they were just too excited and fainted. Make sure to drink lots of fluids when you go to concerts!{{sup/5|B2W2}}
For the first ten minutes of every hour, documentaries and a cartoon focusing on the player character are broadcast. Each program acts as a view of in-game statistics, telling the player how many times they have had a Pokémon flee, how much money they have spent at shops, how many Trainers and Pokémon they have defeated, and so on.
|- style="background:#FFF"
 
|Compoundeyes Wrestler{{sup/5|BW}}<br>Molt{{sup/5|B2W2}}
From ten minutes past to thirty-five minutes past each hour, educational shows are broadcast. These are "The Waving Weaving Walk", which describes various [[Ability|Abilities]]; "Moves for Living", which describes various [[move]]s that are new to the game; and "What's That?", which inspects held items that are new to the games.
|[[Burgh]]
 
|When I went to meet Burgh. It was like he had been licking the honeycomb walls! That guy likes to eat!{{sup/5|BW}}<br>When I went to meet Burgh, he was shooting cocoon silk from his hands and decorating his walls with it! Could he actually be a Pokémon?!{{sup/5|B2W2}}
For the last twenty-five minutes of each hour, other shows such as human interest pieces are broadcast; these include "Eyes on Unova", "Your Pokémon", "Personality Assessment and [[Horoscope]]", "National Gymquirer", and "Unova News". Other programs shown at this time are "{{tt|Koukan|Exchange}} Talk", which teaches {{wp|Japanese language|Japanese}} in the North American games; and "PokéQuiz", which quizzes three kids on the Japanese names of Pokémon. There are even infomercials advertising overpriced items.
|Now that is a surprise... But, I wonder if he was just admiring his own face reflected on those walls... That's also weird though...{{sup/5|BW}}<br>Now that is a surprise... But, I wonder if he was just carrying that silk in his hands? We are talking about Burgh, though...{{sup/5|B2W2}}
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, all the previous shows are retained, and new shows, such as "The Pokémon Whisperer" and "The Pokémon Live Sports Broadcast" have been added. Instead of airing programs based on the hour, the player can choose from three channels to watch: Celebrity, Battle, and Variety.
|Shocking Supermodel
 
|[[Elesa]]
====x:00–x:09====
|The Gym Leader Elesa said that Nimbasa's Pokémon can dance a nimble bossa! Nobody laughed, but I thought it was really funny! What do you think?
During the first ten minutes of the hour, the TV shows are about various statistics about the player, such as how many times they have used the move {{m|Struggle}}.
|Hmmm... It really seems like Elesa needs to come up with a sneakier pen name. Well, whatever!

|{{m|After You}}
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Squirtle}}! What is Squirtle in Japanese?
|After You is a move filled with the spirit of give and take, where you allow the target to attack right after you do.
| OK, you over there!
|In practical terms, if you see a new dish at a restaurant that you're a little nerous about, you can use this move to make someone else taste it first!
| Squirtle
| Turzen
| Zenzen
| So sorry! The answer is Zenigame! Zeh-nee-ga-me! “Zeni” is an old-fashioned word for money. Squirtle’s shells look like old coins, so that’s how they got their name! You can’t use them as coins, though. OK, see you next week! Farewell!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{m|Bestow}}
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Pikachu}}! What is it called in Japanese?
|Bestow is a very generous move where you pass an item to the target.
| No hint is necessary this time, because it’s international! OK, panelists, your answers, please?
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. Sometimes you receive a gift that will clearly cause trouble, right? You can use this move right away to... No, actually, you'd better wait until the person who gave you the gift has left! But then you can use the move to pass your unwanted gift off to someone else.
| Electchu
| Pikanezumi
| Pikapika
| Oh, too bad! The correct answer is Pikachu! Just like in English! As a matter of fact, wherever you go in the world, Pikachu is Pikachu! OK then, see you next week! Farewell!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{m|Chip Away}}
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Machop}}! OK, what is it called in Japanese?
|Chip Away is a very persistent move that keeps striking and ignores all of the target's stat changes.
| The hint is, “riki” means strength in Japanese. OK, you three over there! Your answers please!
|In everyday life, this move might be handy for winning an argument with a really stubborn person!
| Machop
| Mabrarian
| Chopchop
| Sorry, that’s incorrect! The correct answer is Wanriky! Wan-ri-kee! “Wan” means “arm,” and “riki” means “strength.” It’s very easy to understand! Well then, everyone, farewell! Mah-mah-machooo!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{m|Echoed Voice}}
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Geodude}}! OK, what is it called in Japanese?
|Echoed Voice is a very rugged move whose power grows when you use it in successive turns.
| What do you think, you kids who look like you enjoy learning?
|I bet you can think of ways to use this move in everyday life without my help! You know how sometimes you have to tell your kids the same thing over and over before they listen? In this situation, parents, teachers, and friends can all use this move and it will be very effective!
| Geodude
| Geometery
| Geometeric
| The correct answer’s Ishitsubute! I-shee-tsu-bu-te! “Ishi” means rock, and “tsubute” is like a throwing stone. Don’t try to throw a Geodude, though, because you will probably get hurt! OK, see you next week! Farewell!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{m|Foul Play}}
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Lickitung}}! What is it called in Japanese?
|Foul Play is a move that gets better the more physically strong your opponent is.
| The hint is, its long tongue is called a “bero”! OK, go to work, my energetic three-person team!
|It's a little sneaky, but you can use it in everyday life. For example, if you're terrible at sports, and you're going up against a big, powerful opponent... Well, it might be considered cheating, but it would get the job done!
| Lickitung
| Berong
| Berlong
| Ooh! Too bad! The correct answer is Beroringa! Be-ro-ri-n-ga! Berori is the sound of licking in Japanese! It’s an easy-to-understand name that emphasizes the lo-o-ong tongue it’s known for! OK, se you later! Farewell!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{m|Guard Split}}
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Eevee}}! What is it called in Japanese?
|Guard Split is a very balanced move that takes the defensive power of both sides and divides it up evenly.
| OK, you over there!
|Here's a practical application. If you and a friend get lost in the mountains, you could use this move to share your defenses so you can both withstand the cold. It's a great way to test the dynamics of a relationship!
| Eevee
| Eve
| Eievui
| Oh! I can’t believe it! That’s correct! The answer is Eievui! Ee-vee! Congratulations! The person with the correct answer wins an Eevee doll! ...Well then, see you next week! Farewell!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{m|Hone Claws}}
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Hoothoot}}! What is it called in Japanese?
|Hone Claws is a very clean move where the user's claws are honed and sharpened.
| Here’s a big hint! In Japanese, the sound it makes is “hoo”! OK, you three, start from there!
|Ladies could use this move in everyday life. It's like a super-powered manicure!
| Hoo
| Hoohoo
| Hooareyou
| Oh, Ill was so close! The correct answer is Hoho! Ho-o ho-o! I’ll bet you learned a lot! Well then, see you next week! Farewell!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{m|Low Sweep}}
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Beautifly}}! What is it called in Japanese?
|Low Sweep is a simple but wild move. It's a swift kick to the lower part of the target's legs.
| OK, you three over there!
|It can also be handy in everyday life. Just imagine a lady wearing a short skirt, and she has to kick someone... She can use this move without causing any embarrassment to herself.
| Beautifly
| Flybeauti
| Flyfly
| Nope, the correct answer is Agehunt! A-ge-ha-n-to! The “hunt” part makes it sound ferocious for such a pretty Pokémon. OK, see you next week! Farewell!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{m|Magic Room}}
| Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Wailord}}! OK, what is it called in Japanese?
|Magic Room is a very basic move that causes items to have no effect for a certain amount of turns.
| OK, you three kids there with the confident expressions!
|There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, suppose a child is begging you to buy a toy. If you use this move at the exact moment the child picks up the toy, it will counter the "I want this" effect!
| Wailord
| Ohwhale
| Ohwell
| Oh! That’s incorrect! The correct answer is Whaloh! It’s pronounced: ho-e-ru-ro-o! “Hoeru” means “wail,” and the “oh” at the end means “king.” Maybe it’s sad and lonely at the top! Has a very noble sound to it, doesn’t it? OK, see you next week!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{m|Psyshock}}
| style="{{roundybl|5px}}" | Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Turtwig}}! What is it called in Japanese?
|Psyshock is a very indirect move where the user attacks with a psychic wave that takes physical form.
| OK, you three sleepy-looking kids over there!
|It can be used effectively in everyday life, too. For example, sometimes you want to practice comedy routines by yourself, right? If you time this move right, you can smack yourself around for some amazing physical comedy!
| Turtwig
| Torunae
| Tornado
| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" | Oh, sorry. The correct answer is Naetle! “Nae” means seedling in Japanese, and Turtwig has a seedling growing out of its head! Did you learn something? Well then, see you next week! Farewell!

:''"Unova News": Next up, we have news of a Pokémon that can see the future.''
:''I wonder what kind of Pokémon we'll meet today?''
:''Ms. D: I was elegantly strolling along the beach. Then I saw a Pokémon off in the distance. It was looking intently in my direction for some reason.''
:''Oh, what's this? It's a Pokémon with the Ability <Ability>!''
:''It just sat there staring, so at first, I thought it was looking at me, but..''
:''<Description>''
:''It suddenly pointed to the ocean and disappeared!''
:''Well, it'd sure be nice if I had an Ability like that...''
:''I wanted to know what it was pointing at, so I walked toward the ocean...''
:''I wonder where I should walk next.''
:''And then! A big boulder fell down from the cliff above!''
:''Right where I had just been standing!''
:''I'm sure that Pokémon can see the future! There's no doubt about it!''
:''It protected the future of a beautiful lady like me.''
:''"Unova News: ...Uh-huh. This concluded the report on Ms. D.''

! style="background:#{{Unova color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Description
|Analytic is great for slower Pokémon. If a Pokémon with Analytic goes last in a battle, its move's power will be boosted!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{a|Anticipation}}
| {{p|Patrat}}
|If the opponent has a supereffective move or one-hit KO move, Anticipation will warn you so you can be prepared!
| Peeps
| [[Striaton City]]
| In a two-story home in Striaton City, the Patrat called Peeps lives with its Trainer. Its Trainer is also a Pokémon Breeder who is raising many Pokémon! And when its Trainer is really busy, Peeps lends a hand...or a paw! It plays with all the other Pokémon to give them some exercise and sometimes even gets them to settle down for the night. Today, Peeps has started a lively game of tag with some of the other Pokémon its Trainer is taking care of. They'll sleep well tonight after all that running!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{a|Cloud Nine}}
| {{p|Zweilous}}
|Cloud Nine is great for travelers. It prevents effects from weather!
| Chow
| [[Opelucid City]]
| Near the gate of Opelucid City, the Zweilous Chow lives with its Trainer. Both Chow and its Trainer really love to eat! Anything you serve them, they'll gobble it right up. They even compete against each other in eating contests. Back when Chow was a Deino, its Trainer could eat faster... but now that Chow has evolved into a Zweilous, it has an extra mouth, so that's a big advantage! It's built up quite a winning streak with its two hungry hungry heads. That was the Zweilous, Chow, who eats a lot, but not as much as my Zweilous. On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a Pokémon that is amazing... but, of course, not as amazing as mine!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{a|Contrary}}
| {{p|Minccino}}
|Contrary makes stat changes go topsy-turvy! For example, if a Pokémon with Contrary gets hit by a move that lowers its Speed, it will have the opposite effect! That's right. Its Speed will increase!
| Julie
| [[Nimbasa City]]
| It's waiting in the wings in the Nimbasa City Musical for its cue to go on stage. This Minccino is named Julie! Julie and its Trainer have put so much effort into training for the Musical. They've worked really hard! And for Julie, the goal every day is to be the one that gets the most time in the spotlight! Julie and its Trainer have a real fire in their hearts when it comes to performing! That was the Minccino Julie, who stands out, just not as much as my Minccino. On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a Pokémon that's really good at napping, but not as good as mine!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{a|Cursed Body}}
| {{p|Darumaka}}
|If a Pokémon with Cursed Body is damaged by a move, sometimes that move can be disabled so the foe can't use it anymore!
| Gance
| [[Castelia City]]
| In a Castelia City office building, a Darumaka named Gance is having a Pokémon battle. Its Trainer is a Clerk ♂ who works in the building. This company takes Pokémon battles very seriously. In fact, work schedules, meeting agendas, and other important matters are all decided by battles! And so its Trainer won't have to work on weekends or do really boring jobs, Gance does its very best in every battle. The Darumaka Gance is a Pokémon with fighting spirit, but not as much as my Darumaka! On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a Pokémon that stands out, but not as much as mine!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{a|Damp}}
| {{p|Purrloin}}
|If a Pokémon with Damp is in battle, moves like {{m|Explosion}} and {{m|Selfdestruct}} can't be used.
| Meg
| [[Nacrene City]]
| In Nacrene City's old warehouses, the Purrloin Meg lives with its Trainer. Meg's Trainer runs a store, and every morning, Meg goes to work with her. At the store, Meg is its Trainer's partner! It sits outside as a mascot and draws customers into the store. Today, it's even carrying a sign for the store to attract even more customers! That was the Purrloin Meg, who works hard, but not as hard as my Purrloin. On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a little Pokémon with a lot of fighting spirit, but not as much as mine!
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{a|Download}}
| {{p|Cubchoo}}
| A Pokémon with Download can take advantage of its opponent's weaknesses. If the opponent's Defense is lower than its Sp. Def, the Pokémon's Attack will be boosted. If the opponent's Sp. Def is lower than its Defense, the Pokémon's Sp. Atk will be boosted.
| Kodie
|- style="background:#FFF"
| [[Driftveil City]]
|{{a|Dry Skin}}
| In a small house in Driftveil City, the Cubchoo named Kodie lives with its Trainer. Kodie's Trainer is a Worker in the Cold Storage. Kodie tags along to work and takes a nap right there in the Cold Storage. Even when it's cold enough that its Trainer's teeth are chattering, Kodie naps away in perfect comfort! That was Kodie, who's very relaxed, but not as relaxed as my Cubchoo! On the next "Your Pokémon," we will introduce a Pokémon that is patient, but not as patient as mine!
|Pokémon with Dry Skin just love water, because they recover HP if they get wet. So if they get hit by a Water-type move or go out in the rain, they feel better! Unfortunately, Fire-type moves do extra damage and sunny days hurt, too.
|}
|- style="background:#FFF"
|}
|{{a|Harvest}}
 
|If a Pokémon with Harvest eats a Berry during battle, the Berry may regenerate at the end of the turn! It's like an all-you-can-eat Berry buffet!
=====Advertisements=====
|- style="background:#FFF"
These are infomercials that try and offer up overpriced items to the viewer watching.
|{{a|Klutz}}
{| class="expandable"
|Held items have no effect on a Pokémon with Klutz. It could even hold an Iron Ball without being weighed down!
|
|- style="background:#FFF"
|-
|{{a|Lightningrod}}
|
|If a Pokémon with Lightningrod is in battle, any Electric-type move will hit it. And getting hit by an Electric-type move boosts the Pokémon's Sp. Atk stat!
:''So this is today's recommended item: a darling Poké Doll!''
|- style="background:#FFF"
:''Just touch it for a second! Isn't it so soft? That's right!''
|{{a|Magic Bounce}}
:''It's made from Unova's finest-grade cotton!''
|Magic Bounce works like the move Magic Coat, but it's "on" all the time!
:''It feels like touching a cloud, and it's as light as a feather!''
|- style="background:#FFF"
:''And it looks so real! Like it could leap into battle at any second...''
|{{a|Mold Breaker}}
:''But relax! If you just put this Poké Doll down, you can escape for sure!''
|A Pokémon with Mold Breaker can completely ignore its opponent's Ability when attacking.
:''This highest-quality Poké Doll is available for only...''
|- style="background:#FFF"
:''But wait, there's more! If you call right now, we'll throw in a [[Potion]], too. And all for just {{PDollar}}28,000,000!''
|{{a|Moody}}
:''Operators are standing by!''
|During a battle, Moody raises one stat and lowers another at the end of each turn.
<br>
|- style="background:#FFF"
:''So this is today's recommended item!''
|{{a|Pickup}}
:''At first glance, it looks like nothing more than your handy traveling companion, the Potion! But just taste it!''
|A Pokémon with Pickup can get the effect of an item an opponent has used in battle. It also picks up various items when it is not battling.
:''Such a smooth flavor! That's right! This exquisite Potion was made by Unova's finest pastry chef.''
|- style="background:#FFF"
:''It makes you feel good inside and out!''
|{{a|Prankster}}
:''And when you order this amazingly delicious chef's-special Potion, we'll throw in a fantastic regular Potion, too!''
|Prankster gives priority to status moves like Screech!
:''All for amaaazing {{PDollar}}3,000,000!''
|-
:''Call NOW!''
|- style="background:#FFF"
<br>
|{{a|Rattled}}
:''So this is today's recommended item!''
|If a Pokémon with Rattled is hit by a {{t|Ghost}}-, {{t|Dark}}-, or {{type|Bug}} move, its Speed will go up!
:''At first glance it looks like an ordinary Poké Ball!''
|- style="background:#FFF"
:''But look! It has a captivating beauty!''
|{{a|Sheer Force}}
:''That's right! This designer Poké Ball was made with exacting detail by a first-class jeweler!''
|A Pokémon with Sheer Force gets a power boost for moves that normally have additional effects, but the additional effects won't occur!
:''You wouldn't want to catch just any Pokémon in this gorgeous Ball. Besides, the ornamentation would break off if you threw it!''
|- style="background:#FFF"
:''But just by carrying this around, you will become dramatically more fashionable! It's quite a statement!''
|{{a|Sturdy}}
:''This designer Poké Ball made by a top jeweler is available now, in a set with a regular Poké Ball for catching, for a mere {{PDollar}}20,000,000!''
|One-hit KO attacks don't work on a Pokémon with Sturdy. It hangs on to that one last HP!
:''Call NOW!''
|-
<br>
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{a|Weak Armor}}
:''So this is today's recommended item!''
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | When a Pokémon with Weak Armor is hit by a [[physical move|physical attack]], its Defense will be lowered, but its Speed will go up!
:''At first glance, it looks just like an ordinary, convenient Repel!''
|}
:''But take a whiff! Look! Isn't it an elegant fragrance?''
:''Just wearing this sophisticated aroma will draw the eyes of Trainers worldwide straight to you!''
:''This is a special floral Repel!''
:''And for a limited time, it is available as part of a Max Repel deal for an unbelievable {{PDollar}}3,500,000!''
:''Call NOW!''
<br>
:''So this is today's recommended item!''
:''At first glance, it looks like an ordinary Escape Rope!''
:''But, look closer! Check out this knot!''
:''That's right! This rope was expertly knotted by a veteran sailor.''
:''Now you won't have to worry about the rope getting tangled up in your bag!''
:''No matter how hard you pull, you'll never undo the knot!''
:''An Escape Rope tied in an expert knot by a veteran craftsman!''
:''For a limited time, you can get it in a set with a regular old Escape Rope for a fantastic {{PDollar}}3,000,000!''
:''Call NOW!''

=====What's That?=====
===Kalos===
''What's That?'' follows a reporter and a {{p|Watchog}} named Watchy Watchog as they find and identify [[held item]]s introduced in Generation V.
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], televisions show a variety of different programs. Unlike in Generation V, the television shows that are broadcast do not depend on the in-game time and are completely random (though the player will never watch the same program twice in a row). If the player watches the same television and does not exit the room, repeats of an episode they have already watched won't reappear. If all episodes of a program have been watched, the television broadcast will skip that program entirely and move on to another un-watched program; these cannot be viewed again until the player exits the room.


{| class="expandable"
Shows that are broadcast include:
|
*''KOUKAN TALK''
|-
*''PokéQuiz''
*''Gym Freaks''
*''I-See News''
*''The Ability Warrior: Poké Ranger!''
*Items with Nadia (this show is not given a title)
*''What's That?''
*''Unova Sports Spectacular!''
*''The Pokémon Whisperer''
*''Best of Sinnoh TV''
 
====Shows====
=====Gym Freaks=====
In ''Gym Freaks'', the Gym Leader that the host April reports on will always be rotated around in a certain order every time, moving in Badge order from the beginning. Each Gym Leader has two different possible commentaries, and after one of these is watched the other one can be viewed after cycling though the other Gym Leaders until the player returns to the same Gym Leader they started with.
 
:''April: Hello! It’s time for Gym Freaks, your source for the hottest news about hot Gym Leaders in Kalos.

|[[Air Balloon]]
| [[Santalune Gym]]
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
| [[Viola]]
|Amazingly, a Pokémon holding the Air Balloon will float up in the air! That means Ground-type moves won't work against it at all! But, the balloon pops if the Pokémon gets hit with an attack, so be careful!
| So... I’m now in front of the Santalune City Gym! ... Hooray! Viola has arrived! She’s fabulous! So fabulous! I’m so crazy about those eyebrows! The barrette that Viola always wears is a birthday gift from Valerie! Awww. I want to have someone who celebrates my birthday. Oh... She went inside the Gym...
|Oh no! I popped it!!
| So... I’m now in front of the Santalune City Gym! ... Oooh... Ahhh... Viola has arrived! She’s fabulous! So fabulous! I’m so crazy about those eyebrows! The camera that Viola always has is a birthday gift from her sister, Alexa. Awww. If I was born again, I’d like to be the camera. Oh... She went inside the Gym...
|Hey! Nice one, clumsy!

|[[Absorb Bulb]]
| [[Cyllage Gym]]
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
| [[Grant]]
|When a Pokémon holding an Absorb Bulb is hit by a Water-type attack, its Sp. Atk stat goes up!
| So... I’m now in front of the Cyllage City Gym! ... Whoa! Grant has arrived! He’s good looking! So good looking! Lean yet muscular. Fascinating! That hairstyle of rolling stones into your hair is very popular among young people now! Grant is not only a Gym Leader but also a leader in fashion! Oh... He went inside the Gym...
|But you can only use it once. Here, you can have this used one!
| So... I’m now in front of the Cyllage City Gym! ... Whoa! Grant has arrived! He’s good looking! So good looking! Lean yet muscular. Fascinating! But I know that he cuts down on his eating to keep his weight down! I saw him longingly looking at sweets in front of a café. He’s so cute! Oh... He went inside the Gym...
|Don't pawn your garbage off on me!
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|[[Big Root]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
| [[Shalour Gym]]
|Come on! It's big and it's a root!
| [[Korrina]]
|Holding the Big Root boosts the effect of moves that restore HP by 30%!
| So... I’m now in front of the Shalour City Gym! ... Eeek. Korrina has arrived! She’s cute! So cute! The way she dresses up in costume-like clothing makes my heart go crazy! Lately, Korrina has been in the PR Video Studio! Following two years of planning and another year of shooting, her highly anticipated new PR Video is scheduled for release at the end of next year! Oh... She went inside the Gym...
|OK! Shall we go?
| So... I’m now in front of the Shalour City Gym! ... Eeek. Korrina has arrived! She’s cute! So cute! The way she dresses up in costumes make my heart beat pit-a-pat! Her legs are so magnificent that her axe-kick move can shatter cave rocks into pieces! If I were with her, I wouldn’t need the HM. Oh... She went inside the Gym...
|Hey! What's the deal with the trowel?
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|[[Binding Band]]
| [[Coumarine Gym]]
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
| [[Ramos]]
|The Binding Band increases the power of binding moves, like Wrap!
| So... I’m now in front of the Coumarine City Gym! ... Oooh. Ahhh. Ramos has arrived! He’s calm. So soothing. His smile brings a sense of euphoria. He’s taken very good care of these gigantic scissors and used them for 30 years. I’ve used this body for 30 years, and it’s started showing its age... Oh... He went inside the Gym...
|Well, that's it for today!
| So... I’m now in front of the Coumarine City Gym! ... Ahhh. Ramos has arrived! He’s calm. So soothing. His smile brings a sense of euphoria. He’s into tea lately. To get great tea leaves, he goes to their place of origin. In a certain country, seeing a tea stem floating upright means good luck. Did you know that? Oh... He went inside the Gym...
|Hey? That's it?!
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|[[Bright Powder|BrightPowder]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
| [[Lumiose Gym]]
|Come on! Like I'd know!
| [[Clemont]]
|Holding the BrightPowder drops your opponent's accuracy to 90%! Oh, by the way, Lax Incense has the same effect as well!
| So... I’m now in front of the Lumiose City Gym! ... Eeek! Clemont has arrived! He’s cute! So cute! His glasses make my heart twinge! Clemont has secretly started to save money to go to the amusement park in the Unova region. Awww... I want to donate money to his park fund! Oh... He went inside the Gym...
|OK, Watchy! Come at me!
| So... I’m now in front of the Lumiose City Gym! ... Yeek! Clemont has arrived! He’s cute! So cute! His glasses make my heart flutter! Clemont is also known as a genius inventor. But even such a genius has something he’s not good at. That is...running. Lately, he’s been developing a machine that enables him to run faster. Oh... He went inside the Gym...
|Ooh, shiny!
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|[[Cell Battery]]
| [[Laverre Gym]]
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
| [[Valerie]]
|When a Pokémon holding a Cell Battery is hit by an Electric-type attack, its Attack stat goes up!
| So... I’m now in front of the Laverre City Gym! ... Ohhh. Valerie has arrived! She’s beautiful! So beautiful! Her existence is fairylike! Her clothes weigh 33 pounds! How can she manage to wear it? She might be surprisingly muscular... Oops. I shouldn’t have said that... Ah... She went inside the Gym...
|But you can only use it once. I already used mine, so I can't give it to you!
| So... I’m now in front of the Laverre City Gym! ... Oooooh. Valerie has arrived! She’s glorious! What a beauty! With a fairylike existence! She can wear such high heels because she used to be a model. If I were wearing heels that high, I wouldn’t be able to get out of my house. Ah... She went inside the Gym...
|I didn't want it anyway!
|- style="background:#FFF"
 
| [[Anistar Gym]]
| [[Olympia]]
| So... I’m now in front of the Anistar City Gym! ... Whoaaa! Olympia has arrived! She’s beauteous! So beauteous! Those eyes are irresistible! I want to put my wrist into her bracelet right next to her wrist! Then Olympia will be able to see everything in my future... But I don’t mind, if it’s Olympia... Oh... She went inside the Gym...
| So... I’m now in front of the Anistar City Gym! ... Wowww! Olympia has arrived! She’s beauteous! So beauteous! Those eyes are so irresistible! The inside of Olympia’s cloak is a galaxy pattern! Marvelous! Creating zero gravity increases psychic power! Nobody can stop Olympia! Oh... She went inside the Gym...
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|[[Eject Button]]
| [[Snowbelle Gym]]
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
| [[Wulfric]]
|When a Pokémon is hit by a move, it goes back right to its Ball! So if you use it right, you don't have to worry switching during a battle!
| So... I’m now in front of the Snowbelle City Gym! ... Wowww! Wulfric has arrived! He’s cool. So cool. He’s the best of men! Rumor has it that the locket around his neck has his dearest Pokémon’s photo in it! I wonder what kind of Pokémon it is. Is there any chance it’s an Ice-type Pokémon?! Oh... He went inside the Gym...
|I'll use it to make a quick escape!
| So... I’m now in front of the Snowbelle City Gym! ... Ai yai yai... Wulfric has arrived! He’s cool. So cool. He’s the best of men! But I saw him crying in a theater the other day... The movie was... “Brycen-Man”...I think. Oh... He went inside the Gym...
|Hey! Where do you think you're going?!
|}
|}


|- style="background:#FFF"
:''That’s all for the on-site report. Good-bye for now, everyone.
|[[Eviolite]]
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|When you give the Eviolite to a Pokémon that hasn't evolved yet... Its Defense and Sp. Def both rise sharply! Isn't that amazing?!
|So, we'll see you later, then.
|What? That was a really short show!

=====I-See News=====
|[[Expert Belt]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
''I-See News'' is a program that explains and comments on certain [[move]]s.
|Come on! Like I'd know!
|Holding the Expert Belt when attacking makes that attack do more damage when it's super effective! An amazing 20% more, in fact!
|OK, then...
|Hey! Why are you putting that on?!

|[[Iron Ball]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
| {{m|Acrobatics}}
|C'mon! How could I know that?
| The user nimbly strikes the target. It's a technical move.
|The one holding an Iron Ball can be hit by Ground-type moves, even if the holder is a Flying-type Pokémon or has the Levitate Ability!
| When is the right time to use this move?
|So, let's demonstrate! Watchy, heads up! Catch!
| Actually, when the user isn't holding any items, the power goes up.
|Hey! Do I look like I can fly?
| Sometimes you are late for your friend's party, right? If you use this move, it may have a huge effect depending on your efforts.
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|[[Leftovers]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
| {{m|Facade}}
|I always clean my plate, so
| James Movesworth's Facade! That's how you use this move.
|When a Pokémon is holding Leftovers, a small fraction of its HP is healed every turn! Isn't that neat?!
| Well… Of course, it has a meaning, doesn't it?
|Oh! That thing on the floor there... Could it be?
| Actually, if you use it when you're poisoned, paralyzed or burned, the power will be doubled. It's a very heroic move.
|Hey! Why are you picking that up?
| You sometimes don't feel good when you have an appointment, right? At times like that, use this move. Apart from the fact that you won't feel good the next day, the move has great effects, at least on the surface.

| The user restrains the move’s power, so the target won’t be wiped out and maintains at least 1 HP. It’s an obviously provocative move.
|Holding the Life Orb makes attacks do 30% more damage! Unfortunately, the holder's HP goes down by 10%...
| When is the right time to use the move?
|Um, anyway, there's a lot more to it, but, um... See you next time!
| Actually, it’s most effectively used on a Pokémon you want to catch.
|What? You're just ending it there?
| Let’s say you have a person whom you secretly admire. If you use this move, you may get the result you want...or not.
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|{{i|Metronome}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
| {{m|Flame Charge}}
|I've heard of the name, at least
| The user cloaks itself with flame and then attacks. It’s quite a hard-core move.
|Holding the Metronome and using the same move continuously makes that move do more and more damage! If the holder uses the same move six times in a row, the damage can double!
| Cloaking itself with flame... Won’t its body get hot?
|So, here we go! Once, twice...
| Actually, the move warms up the body nicely, and the Speed of the user goes up.
|Hey! Stop the music!
| Let’s say you’re stranded on a snowy mountain. At times like that, it would be a good idea to use this move. Putting the clothes you’re wearing aside, the move has very wonderful effects.
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|[[Red Card]]
| {{m|Fling}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
| The user quickly flings its held item at the target to attack. It’s a surprisingly sloppy move.
|When the Pokémon holding the Red Card is attacked, the attacker is thrown out of the battle.
| Its power and effects may vary, correct?
|Just so you know, Watchy, I'm holding a Red Card right now!
| Actually, its power and effects depend on the held item.
|Hey! I'm not going to attack you!
| Sometimes you have huge worries that you can’t handle just by yourself, right? Use this move, and it will relieve the tension, especially when your target isn’t preoccupied.
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|[[Ring Target]]
| {{m|Grass Knot}}
|Come on! Of course I haven't!
| The user snares the target with grass and causes it to trip. It’s something of a petty move.
|If a Pokémon holds the Ring Target, even attacks that would usually have no effect will hit it!
| When is the right time to use this move?
|That reminds me, I have a present for you, Watchy! Your very own Ring Target!
| Actually, it’s best used when the target is heavier than the user!
|Hey! That's not very nice!
| Take yourself to the riverside and use this move. Stare at the knotted grass... You’ll feel a weight of melancholy settle on you.
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
| [[Rocky Helmet]]
| {{m|Incinerate}}
| Come on! Of course I haven't!
| The user attacks the target with fire. It's a gracious yet dirty move.
| When an attack does physical damage to a Pokémon holding the Rocky Helmet, the attacker takes damage, too.
| Which part of the move is dirty?
| I'll try it! So I put it on, like so, and... OK, Watchy, hit me with your best shot!
| Actually, this move burns certain items the target holds, such as a Gem or Berry.
| No fair! You're not a Pokémon!
| Sometimes you're anticipating a bad grade from an exam. At times like that, use this move. It will burn away the bad grade, but only on the paper you get back, just not in your permanent records!
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|[[Shed Shell]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
| {{m|Leech Seed}}
|Come on! Like I'd know!
| It plants a seed on the target and absorbs its HP every turn just little by little. It’s a surprisingly violent move.
|When a Pokémon is holding the Shed Shell, it can switch out of battle, even when it usually wouldn't be able to!
| Where does the absorbed HP go?
|Still, I wonder what kind of Pokémon this shell came from?
| Actually, the user can restore its HP with the HP the move absorbed.
|Hey! What are you looking at me for?
| Use this move on a small plant pot, then look forward to checking its growth every day.
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|[[Shell Bell]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
| {{m|Mat Block}}
|I've heard of the name, at least
| The user uses a flipped tatami mat as a shield to protect against the opposing Pokémon moves. This is a remarkably skillful move.
|Suppose you land an attack while holding the Shell Bell. Your HP would be restored by one-eighth of the damage done!
| Is there anything that I should be careful about when I use it?
|The Shell Bell sure has a pretty sound, doesn't it?
| Actually, it can’t protect from status moves, so you can’t let your guard down.
|Hey! That's it? Just listening to it?
| Let’s say you have tatamis in your martial arts or yoga classroom. Use this move immediately, and you might find something extraordinary, or not.
 
|- style="background:#FFF"
| {{m|Mystical Fire}}
| The user attacks the target with flame from its mouth. It’s an undoubtedly fantastic move.
| Which part of the move is fantastic?
| Actually, the move lowers the target’s Special Attack when it’s used to attack.
| When people celebrate your birthday, you blow out candles on a cake, right? Use this move to drag out the party so that you won’t feel lonely.
|- style="background:#FFF"
|- style="background:#FFF"
|style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | [[Zoom Lens]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
| {{m|Payback}}
|style="background:#FFF" | Come on! Like I'd know!
| If the user is the second to attack, the power will be doubled. It's a moderately stoic move.
|style="background:#FFF" | Holding the Zoom Lens makes accuracy go up 20%! But it only works when the holder moves after the target.
| What will happen if both parties use this move?
|style="background:#FFF" | My motto is, strike first and strike hard!
| Actually, the slower your Speed is, the more advantage this move has.
|style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Hey! That's an evil-looking stare!
| If you use this move on a person who helped you out previously… you'll repay kindness with injury.
|}
|- style="background:#FFF"
|}
| {{m|Pin Missile}}
 
| The user shoots sharp spikes at the target in rapid succession. It's a wonderfully relaxing move.
====x:35–x:59====
| In succession… How long does it last?
 
| Actually, the user can attack two to five times in a row.
=====Eyes on Unova=====
| When the target has a severe shoulder ache or backache, use this move for acupuncture. It's very soothing, except when it hits a wrong spot.
''Eyes on Unova'' is a program about a certain resident of Unova.
|- style="background:#FFF"
 
| {{m|Psybeam}}
{| class="expandable"
| The user emits a beam of mysterious light. It’s a mildly psychedelic move.
|
| Psychedelic... Doesn’t it sound a bit dangerous?
|-
| Actually, it can leave the target confused, too.
|
| When you want to concentrate, like to prepare for an exam, use this move. It has great effects, except for the people around you.
:''Host: Today, on “Eyes on Unova,” we will introduce you to:''
|- style="background:#FFF"
<br>
| {{m|Quick Attack}}
:''An older man from [[Opelucid City]] who loves musicals!''
| The user can strike first for sure. It's a plainly natural move.
:''Hello! I’ve heard that you hand out [[Prop|Musical Props]] every day!''
| What if both parties use this move?
:''Man: Indubitably!  ♪ C’est vrai! ♪''
| Actually, the one with higher Speed can strike first.
:''Host: Oh dear. There’s really no need to sing about it, sir...''
| When there is only one seat left in a train, casually use this move. If you don't care what other people think, the move has very good effects.
:''Man: ♪ Beeee-caaaause ♪ bee-cause ♪...''
|- style="background:#FFF"
:''Host: OK, OK, thank you very much! That was our report from Opelucid City!''
| {{m|Retaliate}}
<br>
| The user gets revenge for an ally that fainted. It’s an unexpectedly heroic move.
:''A talented Pokémon massage therapist who lives in Castelia City!''
| When is the right time to use this move?
:''Hello! So what got you interested in Pokémon massage therapy?''
| Actually, if an ally fainted in the previous turn, the user’s power will be doubled.
:''Woman: At first, I wanted to be a massage therapist for people, but one day I didn't have any human clients, so I decided to practice on a Pokémon. It was so happy and so cute afterward! So I decided to switch my practice to Pokémon massage exclusively.
| Sometimes, say in a judo tournament, the teammate ahead of you loses, even though {{tt|he/she|Depending on the player's gender}} tried {{tt|his/her|Depending on the player's gender}} best, right? If you use this move at a time like that, the anger you feel enhances your power.
:''Host: Wow, is that so? That means you can do massage for people too, right?! If you don't mind, my neck has been killing me... ...Oh, well, that's... erk... Maybe you're out of practice... ow ow OW! OK, that's enough, thanks! That was...ow... our report from Castelia City.
|- style="background:#FFF"
<br>
| {{m|Round}}
:''[[Driftveil City#Move lover's house|This wonderful lady]] who lives right here in Driftveil City!''
| The user attacks the target with a song. It's a very rocking move.
:''Hello! You are the lady who is famous for being obsessed with TMs, right?''
| Attack with a song… It doesn't sound like a strong move.
:''Woman: That's right. Are you familiar with a move called Spite?''
| Actually, if somebody uses this move, others can join in the Round, and the power goes up. In fact, it's a very powerful move.
:''Host: Um... I've heard of it..''
| Sometimes you and your friend like the same person. If you use this move after your friend tells how he feels to the person, your friendship will be over, but the move is very effective.
:''Woman: I will not speak to you unless you bring me a Pokémon that knows Spite!''
|- style="background:#FFF"
:''Host: Well, I think we can confirm that you're every bit as eccentric as people say! And that was our report from Driftveil City.
| {{m|Spiky Shield}}
| The user protects itself from the opposing Pokémon’s attack while lowering the opposing Pokémon’s HP on contact.
| Is there anything you should be careful about when you use it?
| Actually, if you use this move again immediately after you successfully use it, the success rate will drop to one third.
| You sometimes play goalie in soccer, right? During a game, use this move. You’ll have no problem catching and holding on to the ball!
|- style="background:#FFF"
| {{m|U-turn}}
| After making its attack, the user rushes back and switches places with another Pokémon. It’s a brisk and impetuous move.
| When is the right time to use this move?
| It’s particularly effective when the user can’t switch places with a party Pokémon due to an opposing Pokémon’s Ability.
| Sometimes you get assigned an extra shift when you’re doing a part-time job. Use this move, and at least you can enjoy a relaxing day off.
|- style="background:#FFF"
| {{m|Water Pulse}}
| It attacks the target with a pulsing blast of water. It’s a surprisingly healthy move.
| How strong is the pulsing water?
| Actually, it’s so strong that it can confuse the target.
| Some fathers come home feeling very tired, right? At times like that, use this move, and you can massage him to sleep. It works very well.
|-
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{m|Water Shuriken}}
| style="background:#FFF" | Shurikens are made of compressed sticky liquid, and the user throws them at the target in succession. It’s a critical move in a way.
| style="background:#FFF" | In succession... How long does it last?
| style="background:#FFF" | Actually, the user can attack two to five times in a row.
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | You know how when you’re washing your hair, sometimes the water pressure isn’t strong enough? That’s when you can use this move, and then you don’t have to rinse your hair!

:''Do-ko-ka de a ta ko-to a-ru keh?
:''Intimidate Man: Yaaa?! You—you’re pretty good, Poké Ranger!
:''It means, "Have we met somewhere?"''

:''Poké Ranger: That means... The accuracy of Sleep Powder, which is 75, will be 97.5...?! Oh no! Zzz... Zzz...
:''Toru: Hey hey, is everyone explosively GENKI today?!''
:''Compound Eyes: Heh heh heh! Poké Ranger, you underestimated the move, huh?

:''Poké Ranger: Haah? Well... I can act before you, so I won’t flinch...
<br/>
:''Mr. Inner Focus: Well, er... What I said is just an example, or a remark in the heat of the moment...
:''Toru: Hey, everyone! How ya doin'?!''

It’s a new record! How will Scraggy surpass this amazing record? It spins around and launches the shot! Well, that doesn’t look like a great trajectory... But wait! It just keeps going. It’s almost like the shot has wings! Wait a minute... Doesn’t it look like there is a heart- shaped mark in the center of that shot? It couldn’t be?! It is! It’s a Woobat that was painted black! Scraggy, that’s against the rules! You’re disqualified! And this concludes our broadcast from Nimbasa City’s Big Stadium.

Today’s Pokémon is a human-hating Patrat that won’t open up to its Trainer. Paul chose to stay by its side for 24 hours as the way to get along with it better...
:''Ms. D: I was elegantly strolling along the beach. Then I saw a Pokémon off in the distance. It was looking intently in my direction for some reason.''
:''Paul: Ouch! The little guy bit me while I was sleeping! OK, then! Bite as much as you want! Every time you bite, I’ll give you a hug!

:''Right where I had just been standing!''
:''Narrator: That’s right... Patrat doesn’t hate humans. It just doesn’t understand how they show trust and affection!
:''I'm sure that Pokémon can see the future! There's no doubt about it!''
:''Paul: Yup! As you can see, this Patrat is totally friendly and playful now! You just have to communicate that you’re a trustworthy Trainer!
:''It protected the future of a beautiful lady like me.''
:''Narrator: Well done, Paul! And now for a test. We’ve prepared 100 Gurdurr to see if you really could protect Patrat from them!

It's built up quite a winning streak with its two hungry hungry heads. That was the Zweilous, Chow, who eats a lot, but not as much as my Zweilous.

:''So this is today's recommended item: a darling Poké Doll!''
:''I was just your average girl until I was struck by a Thunder Shock. It was love at first sight, baby! And my target, a Gym Leader! I didn’t have any Pokémon then, but not a problem for a resourceful gal! The answer was simple—and we all know simple is best! I just had to become a Trainer. That’s all it took for me! “The Diary of a Poké Romantic” will soon make its debut! The pilot episode: “Love at First Sight: The Rules of the Move Attract!” By the way, how did everyone get their first Pokémon anyway?
:''Just touch it for a second! Isn't it so soft? That's right!''
<br>
:''It's made from Unova's finest-grade cotton!''
:''After some fits and starts, a childhood friend gave me my first Pokémon! …It was a Kricketot. Except…I don’t like the legs of bugs. I bet he gave me this because I picked on him when he was little… But though the road has been long and hard, I’m finally at the starting line! Next week: “The Diary of a Poké Romantic,” episode two! “The Maiden in Love and the Kricketot: The Magic of Romance Never Ends!” Oh, this Kricketot is a female. Maybe we can be friends.
:''It feels like touching a cloud, and it's as light as a feather!''
:''And it looks so real! Like it could leap into battle at any second...''
:''But relax! If you just put this Poké Doll down, you can escape for sure!''
:''This highest-quality Poké Doll is available for only...''
:''But wait, there's more! If you call right now, we'll throw in a [[Potion]], too. And all for just {{PDollar}}28,000,000!''
:''Operators are standing by!''
<br>
<br>
:''So this is today's recommended item!''
:''I checked out my Kricketot and learned about its moves. ...It only knows Growl and Bide. That’s worse than just challenging! I was about to say that, when my childhood friend stopped me. “Let it hold an Oran Berry so that it can survive while using Bide.” Hey, that’s smart! That’s from a former Bug Catcher! While we’re at it, may I have an Oran Berry, too? Next week: “The Diary of a Poké Romantic,” episode three! “Love Conquers All: Covering Weakness with Ideas!” We’re a Trainer and Pokémon now! We’ll get stronger together!
:''At first glance, it looks like nothing more than your handy traveling companion, the Potion! But just taste it!''
:''Such a smooth flavor! That's right! This exquisite Potion was made by Unova's finest pastry chef.''
:''It makes you feel good inside and out!''
:''And when you order this amazingly delicious chef's-special Potion, we'll throw in a fantastic regular Potion, too!''
:''But relax! If you just put this Poké Doll down, you can escape for sure!''
:''This highest-quality Poké Doll is available for only...''
:''All for amaaazing {{PDollar}}3,000,000!''
:''Call NOW!''
<br>
<br>
:''So this is today's recommended item!''
:''I had my first ever Pokémon battle, and it ended badly... My childhood friend, a former Bug Catcher, had this to say... “Pokémon get tougher by battling. The key to victory is type matchups.” Type matchups? Types affect battles? The only type matchup I care about is with that Gym Leader! Next week: “The Diary of a Poké Romantic,” episode four! “Type Matchups Settle Battles! Moves That Exploit Weak Points!” Fire, Flying, and Rock... Kricketot has some disadvantages!
:''At first glance it looks like an ordinary Poké Ball!''
:''But look! It has a captivating beauty!''
:''That's right! This designer Poké Ball was made with exacting detail by a first-class jeweler!''
:''You wouldn't want to catch just any Pokémon in this gorgeous Ball. Besides, the ornamentation would break off if you threw it!''
:''But just by carrying this around, you will become dramatically more fashionable! It's quite a statement!''
:''This designer Poké Ball made by a top jeweler is available now, in a set with a regular Poké Ball for catching, for a mere {{PDollar}}20,000,000!''
:''Call NOW!''
<br>
<br>
:''So this is today's recommended item!''
:''We’d win a battle, and lose one. Lose one, then win one. Though it was at times discouraging, I had to keep battling to toughen us up.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], televisions show a variety of different programs. Unlike in Generation V, the television shows that are broadcast do not depend on the in-game time and are completely random (though the player will never watch the same program twice in a row). If the player watches the same television and does not exit the room, repeats of an episode they have already watched won't reappear. If all episodes of a program have been watched, the television broadcast will skip that program entirely and move on to another un-watched program; these cannot be viewed again until the player exits the room.

Johanna watching television

Television, or TV, refers both to systems typically used for broadcasting programs for the purposes of entertainment, education, and information, as well as the devices that receive television signals and display them as audio and video on a screen, often seen as part of the furniture in houses or other buildings in the Pokémon world. TV sets debuted in Generation I, and while they have always been interactable, they were merely decorative setpieces until Generation III, in which they provide more in-game uses. They have also appeared in the Pokémon anime.

In the games

Prior to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the games featured non-widescreen CRT TVs. Diamond and Pearl replaced them with widescreen CRT TVs, and a widescreen flat-panel TV can be found at the Villa in Pokémon Platinum. Flat-screen TVs became the standard model starting in Pokémon Black and White.

Kanto and Johto

Television in Red and Blue

In the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, according to the player's Mom, it was said on TV that all boys leave home someday (if the player is male) or that all girls dream of traveling (if the player is female).

The TV in the player's house displays a movie. Other televisions in these games were merely for decoration purposes. Televisions normally appeared in residential houses. In Generation I, televisions are in the middle of the room.

In Johto, the Goldenrod Radio Tower broadcasts radio programs.

Teachy TV

Bag Teachy TV Sprite.png
Main article: Teachy TV

The Teachy TV, which exists only in FireRed and LeafGreen, airs the Poké Dude Show, where a character called the Poké Dude instructs the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.

Hoenn

Generation III

See also: Hoenn TV

Television returned in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, replacing Generation II's radio broadcasts and served a purpose, unlike the Generation I TVs. They were present in most houses in Hoenn, but had a limited function, only showing programs when an event occurs, such as swarming Pokémon, or when the player changes a Pokémon's nickname at the Name Rater. They may also show interviews with the player character, who answers by selecting words from a drop-down list. When a program is airing, the television screen will flash, and will not cease flashing until the program has been watched. If an event has not happened to activate a television program, the screen will remain blank and the phrase "Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!" will be played. The programming is organized by Hoenn TV.

Player's house

The following program only displays on the lower floor. The TV does not flash for this program in Emerald.

There is a movie on TV. Two men are dancing on a big piano keyboard. Better get going!

This is a reference to the movie Big.

Sinnoh

Main article: TV programming in Sinnoh → Jubilife TV programs
Television in Diamond and Pearl
The Villa TV

In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, television screens flash constantly. Jubilife TV produces many television programs broadcast all around the Sinnoh region, including the Trend Tracker show, Trainer Research, and Sinnoh Now. Each program includes information about events happening around Sinnoh, including swarming Pokémon and weather affecting different routes. They may also contain information about the player which can be customized by speaking to a number of interviewers which can be found scattered around the region. Like in the previous generation, the answers to the interviewers' questions are limited, but more answers can be added by learning trendy phrases in Snowpoint City. At the conclusion of each program, a series of advertisements can be watched.

The events of the main storyline in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are encouraged by a television program, The Search for the Red Gyarados. Later, at the Survival Area, the player will encounter the cameraman responsible for this story. In Pokémon Platinum, this person can be found blocking the entrance to Lake Valor hoping to see Azelf before Team Galactic detonates the Galactic Bomb there.

There is also a TV in the Old Chateau which contains a wild Rotom at night (after obtaining the National Pokédex in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and at any time in Platinum).

Additionally, a toy TV can be used to decorate Secret Bases in the Underground. In Pokémon Platinum, a TV can be purchased as furniture for the Villa.

Unova

In Pokémon Black and White, televisions show a variety of different programs. The type of television shows that are broadcast at any particular instance depend on the in-game time.

For the first ten minutes of every hour, documentaries and a cartoon focusing on the player character are broadcast. Each program acts as a view of in-game statistics, telling the player how many times they have had a Pokémon flee, how much money they have spent at shops, how many Trainers and Pokémon they have defeated, and so on.

From ten minutes past to thirty-five minutes past each hour, educational shows are broadcast. These are "The Waving Weaving Walk", which describes various Abilities; "Moves for Living", which describes various moves that are new to the game; and "What's That?", which inspects held items that are new to the games.

For the last twenty-five minutes of each hour, other shows such as human interest pieces are broadcast; these include "Eyes on Unova", "Your Pokémon", "Personality Assessment and Horoscope", "National Gymquirer", and "Unova News". Other programs shown at this time are "Koukan Talk", which teaches Japanese in the North American games; and "PokéQuiz", which quizzes three kids on the Japanese names of Pokémon. There are even infomercials advertising overpriced items.

In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, all the previous shows are retained, and new shows, such as "The Pokémon Whisperer" and "The Pokémon Live Sports Broadcast" have been added. Instead of airing programs based on the hour, the player can choose from three channels to watch: Celebrity, Battle, and Variety.

The flat-screen TV Décor

In Pokémon Dream World, a flat-screen TV based on the one in the player's house in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 was available as Décor from April 4 to May 28, 2013 to Japanese users who input a password.
