Johanna watching television

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.

In the games

Prior to 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 Platinum. Flat-screen TVs became the standard model in Black and White.

Kanto and Johto

Television in Red and Blue

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

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

Main article: 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.

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.

For information on the other shows, please check their respective headings below this section.

What's That?

What's That? follows a reporter and a Watchog named Watchy Watchog as they find and identify held items.

Lady: Hello! It's time for the "What's That?" show, where we talk about wonderful items! Today we are talking about the <item>! Watchy Watchog, have you heard of the/do you know about <item>?

Watchy: Tch tch cha! (...<Watchy's translated answer>...)

Lady: Amazing! You do* know it!/Don't spill it! OK, well, I'll explain it anyway! <Explanation>

Watchy: Tch tch cha! (…<Watchy's translated reaction>…)

Item	Watchy's translated answer	Explanation	Watchy's translated reaction
Big Root	Come on! It's big and it's a root!	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?
Binding Band	Come on! Of course I haven’t!	The Binding Band increases the power of binding moves, like Wrap! Well, that’s it for today!	Hey! That’s it?!
BrightPowder	Come on! Like I'd know!	Holding the BrightPowder drops your opponent's accuracy to 90%! Oh, by the way, Lax Incense has the same effect as well! OK, Watchy! Come at me!	Ooh, shiny!
Eviolite	Come on! Like I’d know!	When you give the Eviolite to a Pokémon that can still evolve... Its Defense and Special Defense both rise sharply! Isn’t that amazing?! So, we’ll see you later, then!	What? That was a really short show!
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! Why are you putting that on?!
Float Stone	Come on! Of course I haven’t!	When you give the Float Stone to a Pokémon, its weight decreases! Let’s try giving one to Watchy right now!	Hey! Are you calling me fat?!
Focus Band	Come on! Like I'd know!	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?	Hey! I don't want either one!
Grip Claw	Come on! Like I'd know!	Grip Claw makes moves like Wrap and Bind last longer. Up to seven turns! It also works with moves like Clamp, Fire Spin, Sand Tomb, Whirlpool, and Magma Storm!	Hey! That's pretty persistent!
King's Rock	Come on! Like I’d know!	Hold the King’s Rock and strike a target for a 10% chance of making that Pokémon flinch! The item Razor Fang has the same effect! So let’s give it a try! Watchy, want a Hertz Doughnut?	Hey! I know that trick!
Lagging Tail	Come on! Like I’d know!	Holding a Lagging Tail makes the holder use its moves last. By the way, Full Incense is an item that has the same effect! Using it with moves like Reversal might be a good idea! Here, Watchy! I’ll hold this! Let’s play rock-paper-scissors! Ready?	Hey! Going late is no fair!
Leftovers	I always clean my plate, so	When a Pokémon is holding Leftovers, a small fraction of its HP is healed every turn! Isn’t that neat?! Oh! That thing on the floor there... Could it be?	Hey! Why are you picking that up?
Metronome	I’ve heard of the name, at least	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...	Hey! Stop the music!
Ring Target	Come on! Of course I haven’t!	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!	Hey! That’s not very nice!
Rocky Helmet	Come on! Of course I haven’t!	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!	No fair! You’re not a Pokémon!
Scope Lens	Come on! Like I'd know!	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!	Hey! Are we going to duel?!
Shed Shell	Come on! Like I'd know!	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…	Hey! What are you looking at me for?
Shell Bell	Come on! Like I’d know	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?	Hey! That’s it? Just listening to it?

Trouble Talk

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.

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…

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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, 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!

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!

Sinnoh

Main article: Jubilife TV

Television in Diamond and Pearl

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 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 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 Diamond and Pearl, and at any time in Platinum).

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.

Moves for Living

Moves for Living is a program that explains what a move introduced in Generation V does and how it can be used in everyday life. The Professor is Dr. Technic Al'Machine, a professor at Castelia University.

Announcer: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!

It's time for “Moves for Living.” Today we will learn about the move <move>.

Our guest expert is Dr. Technic Al'Machine, a professor at Castelia University.

Al'Machine: Hello. I'm Dr. Al'Machine.

<Description>

Announcer: I see... I learned a lot. Well/I see. I sure learned a lot. Well/Oh dear, that sounds dangerous... Ahem. Well, I learned a lot. OK then, everyone, until next time, good-bye.

Move	Description in the show	Usefulness in real life
After You	After You is a move filled with the spirit of give and take, where you allow the target to attack right after you do.	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!
Bestow	Bestow is a very generous move where you pass an item to the target.	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.
Chip Away	Chip Away is a very persistent move that keeps striking and ignores all of the target's stat changes.	In everyday life, this move might be handy for winning an argument with a really stubborn person!
Echoed Voice	Echoed Voice is a very rugged move whose power grows when you use it in successive turns.	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!
Foul Play	Foul Play is a move that gets better the more physically strong your opponent is.	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!
Guard Split	Guard Split is a very balanced move that takes the defensive power of both sides and divides it up evenly.	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!
Hone Claws	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!
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.
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!
Psyshock	Psyshock is a very indirect move where the user attacks with a psychic wave that takes physical form.	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!
Quash	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!
Quiver Dance	Quiver Dance is a beautiful, graceful move that raises the user's Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats.	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!
Reflect Type	Reflect Type is a very conformist move that makes your type match your target's type.	This works really well if you're spending time with someone and you decide you have nothing in common. Use this move and... Voilà! Instant common ground!
Shell Smash	Shell Smash is a possibly risky move where the user's Speed, Attack, and Sp. Atk stats increase at the expense of defensive power.	There's an effective use for this move in everyday life. For example, how about when you switch to a new school? This move could be the brand-new start you might need. It could change your whole life!
Simple Beam	Simple Beam is a very educational move that changes the target's Ability to Simple, where stat changes are doubled.	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...
Sky Drop	Sky Drop is a dramatic move where the target is taken high into the sky and then slammed into the ground.	There's an effective use for this move in everyday life: Showing off! You could use this move on yourself, right? If you go fluttering up into the sky, you'll impress everyone! It's an extremely dramatic performance! Just brace yourself for the landing...
Smack Down	Smack Down is a classic and primitive move where something is thrown at a flying target to bring it to the ground.	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.
Soak	Well, Soak is a sloshy move that turns the target into a Water type.	Wondering how you could possibly use this move in everyday life? What if you spilled a drink during an important occasion? If you use this move right, it might not matter at all!
Synchronoise	Synchronoise is an exclusive move that only attacks everything of the same type as the user.	If a person who has the same personality and characteristics as you shows up at school or work, you could use this move to distinguish yourself.
Venoshock	Venoshock covers the target in a special kind of poisonous liquid. It's a truly spicy move!	Sometimes, when you're cooking, you dish just needs a little extra pinch of something. Well, you can see how using this move quickly could add a dangerous flavor!

The Waving Weaving Walk

The Waving Weaving Walk show, known as Wawalk for short, is a program that focuses on Abilities.

It's "The Waving Weaving Walk"--Wawalk for short!

I wonder what kind of Pokémon we'll meet today?

Oh, what's this? It's a Pokémon with the Ability <Ability>!

<Description>

Well, it'd sure be nice if I had an Ability like that...

I wonder where I should walk next.

Ability	Description
Analytic	Analytic is great for slower Pokémon. If a Pokémon with Analytic goes last in a battle, its move's power will be boosted!
Anticipation	If the opponent has a supereffective move or one-hit KO move, Anticipation will warn you so you can be prepared!
Cloud Nine	Cloud Nine is great for travelers. It prevents effects from weather!
Contrary	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!
Cursed Body	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!
Damp	If a Pokémon with Damp is in battle, moves like Explosion and Selfdestruct can't be used.
Download	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.
Dry Skin	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.
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!
Klutz	Held items have no effect on a Pokémon with Klutz. It could even hold an Iron Ball without being weighed down!
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!
Magic Bounce	Magic Bounce works like the move Magic Coat, but it's "on" all the time!
Mold Breaker	A Pokémon with Mold Breaker can completely ignore its opponent's Ability when attacking.
Moody	During a battle, Moody raises one stat and lowers another at the end of each turn.
Pickup	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.
Prankster	Prankster gives priority to status moves like Screech!
Rattled	If a Pokémon with Rattled is hit by a Ghost-, Dark-, or Bug-type move, its Speed will go up!
Sheer Force	A Pokémon with Sheer Force gets a power boost for moves that normally have additional effects, but the additional effects won't occur!
Sturdy	One-hit KO attacks don't work on a Pokémon with Sturdy. It hangs on to that one last HP!
Weak Armor	When a Pokémon with Weak Armor is hit by a physical attack, its Defense will be lowered, but its Speed will go up!

What's That?

What's That? follows a reporter and a Watchog named Watchy Watchog as they find and identify held items introduced in Generation V.

Lady: Hello! It's time for the "What's That?" show, were we talk about wonderful items!

Today we are talking about the <item>!

Watchy Watchog, have you heard of the <item>?

Watchy: Tch tch cha! (...<Watchy's translated answer>...)

Lady: Amazing! You do know it!/Don't spill it!/Hm... Maybe you don't know it? OK, well, I'll explain it anyway!

<Description>

<Host's extra comment>

Watchy: Tch tch cha! (...<Watchy's translated reaction>...)

Item	Watchy's translated answer	Description	Host's extra comment	Watchy's translated reaction
Air Balloon	Come on! Of course I haven't!	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!	Oh no! I popped it!!	Hey! Nice one, clumsy!
Absorb Bulb	Come on! Of course I haven't!	When a Pokémon holding an Absorb Bulb is hit by a Water-type attack, its Sp. Atk stat goes up!	But you can only use it once. Here, you can have this used one!	Don't pawn your garbage off on me!
Big Root^B2W2	Come on! It's big and it's a root!	Holding the Big Root boosts the effect of moves that restore HP by 30%!	OK! Shall we go?	Hey! What's the deal with the trowel?
Binding Band	Come on! Of course I haven't!	The Binding Band increases the power of binding moves, like Wrap!	Well, that's it for today!	Hey? That's it?!
BrightPowder^B2W2	Come on! Like I'd know!	Holding the BrightPowder drops your opponent's accuracy to 90%! Oh, by the way, Lax Incense has the same effect as well!	OK, Watchy! Come at me!	Ooh, shiny!
Cell Battery	Come on! Of course I haven't!	When a Pokémon holding a Cell Battery is hit by an Electric-type attack, its Attack stat goes up!	But you can only use it once. I already used mine, so I can't give it to you!	I didn't want it anyway!
Eject Button	Come on! Of course I haven't!	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!	I'll use it to make a quick escape!	Hey! Where do you think you're going?!
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!
Expert Belt^B2W2	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?!
Float Stone	Come on! Of course I haven't!	When you give the Float Stone to a Pokémon, its weight decreases!	Let's try giving one to Watchy right now!	Hey! Are you calling me fat?!
Iron Ball^B2W2	C'mon! How could I know that?	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!	So, let's demonstrate! Watchy, heads up! Catch!	Hey! Do I look like I can fly?
Leftovers^B2W2	I always clean my plate, so	When a Pokémon is holding Leftovers, a small fraction of its HP is healed every turn! Isn't that neat?!	Oh! That thing on the floor there... Could it be?	Hey! Why are you picking that up?
Life Orb^B2W2	Life? I've got a bad feeling about this	Holding the Life Orb makes attacks do 30% more damage! Unfortunately, the holder's HP goes down by 10%...	Um, anyway, there's a lot more to it, but, um... See you next time!	What? You're just ending it there?
Metronome^B2W2	I've heard of the name, at least	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...	Hey! Stop the music!
Red Card	Come on! Of course I haven't!	When the Pokémon holding the Red Card is attacked, the attacker is thrown out of the battle.	Just so you know, Watchy, I'm holding a Red Card right now!	Hey! I'm not going to attack you!
Ring Target	Come on! Of course I haven't!	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!	Hey! That's not very nice!
Rocky Helmet	Come on! Of course I haven't!	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!	No fair! You're not a Pokémon!
Shed Shell^B2W2	Come on! Like I'd know!	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?	Hey! What are you looking at me for?
Shell Bell^B2W2	I've heard of the name, at least	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?	Hey! That's it? Just listening to it?
Zoom Lens^B2W2	Come on! Like I'd know!	Holding the Zoom Lens makes accuracy go up 20%! But it only works when the holder moves after the target.	My motto is, strike first and strike hard!	Hey! That's an evil-looking stare!

Eyes on Unova

Eyes on Unova is a program about a certain resident of Unova.

Host: Today, on “Eyes on Unova,” we will introduce you to:

An older man from Opelucid City who loves musicals!

Hello! I’ve heard that you hand out Musical Props every day!

Man: Indubitably! ♪ C’est vrai! ♪

Host: Oh dear. There’s really no need to sing about it, sir...

Man: ♪ Beeee-caaaause ♪ bee-cause ♪...

Host: OK, OK, thank you very much! That was our report from Opelucid City!

A talented Pokémon massage therapist who lives in Castelia City!

Hello! So what got you interested in Pokémon massage therapy?

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.

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.

This wonderful lady who lives right here in Driftveil City!

Hello! You are the lady who is famous for being obsessed with TMs, right?

Woman: That's right. Are you familiar with a move called Spite?

Host: Um... I've heard of it..

Woman: I will not speak to you unless you bring me a Pokémon that knows Spite!

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.

KOUKAN TALK

KOUKAN TALK is a program hosted by Azusa or Toru that explains how to use the Japanese language on certain occasions.

Azusa: KONNICHIWA, yo! Are you overflowing with GENKI? It’s time for this week’s highly anticipated “KOUKAN TALK”! This is today’s phrase: “Your Pokémon is cute!” This is a phrase you want to try out! So, what’s the right way to say it? “Kawaii Pokémon da ne!” Ka-wah-ii po-kay-mo-n da nay! With this you can flatter that person you like! YATTA! Trading Pokémon internationally is sure great! Tee hee! OK, be sure to watch again! MATA KONDO!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Azusa: …Ne, Toru? Ninniku no nioi suru? Kinou sa, oishii pasuta tabetanda kedo sa, ninniku ga sugoku kiiteta no yo ne. Iki wo tometeiru no atashi no sei ja nai yo ne? …Toru? Nande, kyou wa sonna ni shizuka na no? Sonnani niou? Are... Ee? Nani? What?! No way! We’re rolling?! H-hello, MINNA! P-please watch “KOUKAN TALK” again, OK? SAYONARA!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

The National Gymquirer

The National Gymquirer collects gossip about Gym Leaders.

Jingle: "Woo hoo! All right! It's 'The National Gymquirer'!"

Page: "That's right! We collect the hottest gossip about Gym Leaders seen around town! Here is today's letter. From someone going by the name <letter submitter>! Thank yooou! '<Letter's content> <Host's reaction>"

Letter submitter	Gym Leader	Letter's content	Host's reaction
Cafélover^BW	Cilan, Chili, and Cress^BW	Recently, I saw Striaton Gym's three Gym Leaders, and they were all out of order! Like, Chili was Cilan, and Cilan was Cress!^BW	Hmmm. Well, I'm not saying you're crazy, but...are you sure they weren't just standing in front of a mirror?^BW
3rdGradeGoodyGoody^B2W2	Cheren^B2W2	Recently, I saw Cheren making his thumb and middle finger into a circle like glasses. He said he gave up his glasses so he can focus on Pokemon battles, but maybe Cheren actually misses them.^B2W2	Hm... Maybe a circle is just a circle!^B2W2
Bonadventure^BW	Lenora^BW	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!^BW	I see. Very horrific. But, I'll bet it was just her husband, Hawes. He has a weird laugh...^BW
RoxieForever^B2W2	Roxie^B2W2	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?!^B2W2	Maybe they were just too excited and fainted. Make sure to drink lots of fluids when you go to concerts!^B2W2
Compoundeyes Wrestler^BW Molt^B2W2	Burgh	When I went to meet Burgh. It was like he had been licking the honeycomb walls! That guy likes to eat!^BW 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?!^B2W2	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...^BW Now that is a surprise... But, I wonder if he was just carrying that silk in his hands? We are talking about Burgh, though...^B2W2
Shocking Supermodel	Elesa	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?	Hmmm... It really seems like Elesa needs to come up with a sneakier pen name. Well, whatever!
Veildrifter	Clay	You know how Gym Leader Clay never takes off his hat? Well, the other day I finally saw him take it off... And underneath his big hat was a fluffy knit hat! He wears two hats! Weird, huh?	Hmm... That seems like it would be way too warm! Still, I wonder if that isn't just Clay's hair sticking up all funny...
Pilotcandidate^BW FlyingMaiden^B2W2	Skyla	I'm an aspiring Pilot who is a huge fan of Skyla! I couldn't take it anymore, and I peeked into her Gym...and it looked like she was flying with the propeller on her head! Isn't that amazing?! Maybe she doesn't even need a plane!^BW I wanted to ride on Skyla's plane, so I went to the Gym! Skyla was in the back of the Gym, and she sneezed! At that very instant, a tremendous wind blew me clear out of the Gym!^B2W2	Hmm... That is mysterious! Still, I wonder if she was just using the cannons in her Gym to fly...^BW Hmm... That is amazing! Still, I suspect that wind might not have had anything to do with her...^B2W2
TheFridge^BW	Brycen^BW	Brycen is too cool! He's always acting like Mr. Tough Guy, like he doesn't even feel the cold...but recently, I heard him sneeze inside his chilly Gym!^BW	I guess even a super-cool Gym Leader can catch a cold. Feel better soon, Brycen!^BW
Opelucitizen^B2W2	Drayden^B2W2	Drayden is a man among men who puts himself on the line to protect the people living in our city. He always gives his all, even in training. According to his training schedule I just happened upon, he does: 1. 10,000 sit-ups 2. 10,000 push-ups 3. 10,000 squats^B2W2	Isn't that outrageous? Huh... How old is that guy anyway?^B2W2
Madame Scale^BW	Drayden and Iris^BW	I'm from Opelucid City, and I just went home for the first time in a long time. I saw Drayden and Iris counting up a big handful of coins! Isn't that setting a bad example for kids, flaunting your wealth like that?^BW	Hmmm... That's living the high life! But you know, the Opelucid Gym Badge is shiny like a coin... Maybe you saw wrong?^BW
MisterFisher^B2W2	Marlon^B2W2	Marlon was swimming the other day, and he just kept going faster until he shot out of the water and into the sky! That swimming style could completely dominate the world of swimming.^B2W2	Hm... That is amazing, but nobody else can do that. Actually, can you even call jumping into the sky swimming?^B2W2

Today’s Pokémon is Squirtle! What is Squirtle in Japanese?	OK, you over there!	Squirtle	Turzen	Zenzen	So sorry! The answer is Zenigame! Zeh-nee-ga-me! “Zeni” is an old-fashioned word for money.

Today’s Pokémon is Wailord! OK, what is it called in Japanese?	OK, you three kids there with the confident expressions!	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!
Today’s Pokémon is Turtwig! What is it called in Japanese?	OK, you three sleepy-looking kids over there!	Turtwig	Torunae	Tornado	Oh, sorry.

Unova News

Unova News is a news program that brings stories of numerous kinds.

"Unova News": Next up, we have news of a Pokémon that can see the future.

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.

It just sat there staring, so at first, I thought it was looking at me, but..

It suddenly pointed to the ocean and disappeared!

I wanted to know what it was pointing at, so I walked toward the ocean...

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.

Your Pokémon

Your Pokémon is a program about Pokémon who have unique traits, such as eating lots of food.

Species	Nickname	Location	Description
Patrat	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!
Zweilous	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!
Minccino	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!
Darumaka	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!
Purrloin	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!
Cubchoo	Kodie	Driftveil City	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!

Kalos

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.

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

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.

Move	Description	Question	Answer	Example
Acrobatics	The user nimbly strikes the target. It's a technical move.	When is the right time to use this move?	Actually, when the user isn't holding any items, the power goes up.	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.
Facade	James Movesworth's Facade! That's how you use this move.	Well… Of course, it has a meaning, doesn't it?	Actually, if you use it when you're poisoned, paralyzed or burned, the power will be doubled. It's a very heroic move.	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.
False Swipe	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.	When is the right time to use the move?	Actually, it’s most effectively used on a Pokémon you want to catch.	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.
Flame Charge	The user cloaks itself with flame and then attacks. It’s quite a hard-core move.	Cloaking itself with flame... Won’t its body get hot?	Actually, the move warms up the body nicely, and the Speed of the user goes up.	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.
Fling	The user quickly flings its held item at the target to attack. It’s a surprisingly sloppy move.	Its power and effects may vary, correct?	Actually, its power and effects depend on the held item.	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.
Grass Knot	The user snares the target with grass and causes it to trip. It’s something of a petty move.	When is the right time to use this move?	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.
Incinerate	The user attacks the target with fire. It's a gracious yet dirty move.	Which part of the move is dirty?	Actually, this move burns certain items the target holds, such as a Gem or Berry.	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!
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?	Actually, the user can restore its HP with the HP the move absorbed.	Use this move on a small plant pot, then look forward to checking its growth every day.
Mat Block	The user uses a flipped tatami mat as a shield to protect against the opposing Pokémon moves. This is a remarkably skillful move.	Is there anything that I should be careful about when I use it?	Actually, it can’t protect from status moves, so you can’t let your guard down.	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.
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.
Payback	If the user is the second to attack, the power will be doubled. It's a moderately stoic move.	What will happen if both parties use this move?	Actually, the slower your Speed is, the more advantage this move has.	If you use this move on a person who helped you out previously… you'll repay kindness with injury.
Pin Missile	The user shoots sharp spikes at the target in rapid succession. It's a wonderfully relaxing move.	In succession… How long does it last?	Actually, the user can attack two to five times in a row.	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.
Psybeam	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.
Quick Attack	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.	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.
Retaliate	The user gets revenge for an ally that fainted. It’s an unexpectedly heroic move.	When is the right time to use this move?	Actually, if an ally fainted in the previous turn, the user’s power will be doubled.	Sometimes, say in a judo tournament, the teammate ahead of you loses, even though he/she tried his/her best, right? If you use this move at a time like that, the anger you feel enhances your power.
Round	The user attacks the target with a song. It's a very rocking move.	Attack with a song… It doesn't sound like a strong move.	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.	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.
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!
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.
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.
Water Shuriken	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.	In succession... How long does it last?	Actually, the user can attack two to five times in a row.	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!

Items with Nadia

This program talks about items and their effects. No formal title is given for this program.

Nadia: Ciao! My name is Nadia. I'm a Rising Star! What I have in my Bag today is a/an* <item>. A/An* <item> is a/an <praise> item!/Safety Googles are very useful! <Description> I wish it/they had the same effect on me, too*… <Reason> Let's have a great day, everybody!

Item	Praise	Description	Reason
Amulet Coin	very useful	Let a Pokémon hold it and fight, and you can get more prize money when you win the battle!	I’m always losing lots of prize money. Sniffle... Haha. ♪
Assault Vest	very aggresive	A Pokémon that holds it can't use status moves, but its Special Defense goes up!	Then I would make a move on my friend without being afraid of the status change! And even if he turned me down, I would endure with my Special Defense. What? That's not goo-oo-ood! I don't like it at all! Haha. ♪
Cleanse Tag	very spiritual	Let your lead Pokémon hold it, and you won't encounter wild Pokémon very much!	I would say that bad things won't happen to me, thanks to the Cleanse Tag, and I would sell this much-appreciated tag for $10,000. Then I would be rich! Kidding! Telling a lie is a bad thing. ♪
Destiny Knot	very lovely	When Attract is used on a Pokémon that holds it and the Pokémon becomes infatuated, it can make the attacker infatuated, too.	Then my friend would fall in love with… Oh, but he has to use Attract first. In that case, I'll use Trick to swap items first, then… Oh no… Where did my Destiny Knot go?
Heat Rock	marvelous	Let a Pokémon hold it and use the move Sunny Day, and the sunny weather will last longer!	To make tomorrow's date nice and sunny, I would keep using Sunny Day starting tonight! Haha. ♪
Lucky Egg	excellent	Let a Pokémon hold it, and the Pokémon can earn slightly more Exp. Points!	Then I’d be an Ace Trainer already and really show my friend what I can do! Kidding. ♪
Luminous Moss	very fresh	When a Pokémon that holds it is hit by a Water-type move, Special Defense goes up.	Then I would absorb a lot of water and keep my skin very hydrated and supple. But, unfortunately, this item is single use. So be careful! Haha. ♪
Quick Claw	very nifty	Let a Pokémon hold it and fight, and it can sometimes act fast!	Then I could finish my homework in a flash! But it doesn't always have that effect, so I'll just have to guess how much time I'll truly need to finish my homework. Haha. ♪
Safety Goggles	very useful	Let a Pokémon hold them, and they protect the holder from both weather-related damage and powder.	When my mom scolds me, I will protect myself with the Safety Goggles. …They won't work unless they block noise?! I-I know that! I'm just acting silly! And now. ♪
Smoke Ball	mysterious	Let a Pokémon hold it, and the Pokémon can flee for sure!	When I’m about to lose against an opposing Trainer, I would escape by the Smoke Ball! Then the number of lost battles would not increase... Haha. ♪
Snowball	very cool	When a Pokémon that holds it is hit by an Ice-type move, its Attack goes up!	But I don’t want to be attacked... Hmm... Maybe snow cones have the same effect? But I can’t eat that many snow cones. A Snowball is for single use, so that’s fine! Haha. ♪
Soothe Bell	very heartwarming	Let a Pokémon hold it, and the Pokémon will become friendly more easily!	Hi, my friend! Let’s walk together! Oh, I’ll give you this Soothe Bell. Please keep it! ...It won’t work unless you catch him first? Argh! I know that! Haha. ♪
Weakness Policy	very reassuring	When a weak point of a Pokémon that holds it is stricken, its Attack and Special Attack go up a lot!	Nadia, have you gained weight lately? Then my Attack and Special Attack would go up! Haha. ♪

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!

Paul: C’mon! Face the ocean and shout! The answer you’re looking for is there!

Paul: Trainers! Enjoy the excitement of youth with your Pokémon! See you!

Narrator: On “The Pokémon Whisperer,” Pokémon with many different problems are brought to Pokémon Breeder Paul, who works to build a good relationship. Today’s problem Pokémon is a depressed Stunfisk. Paul is investigating the cause of its feeling down...

Narrator: On “The Pokémon Whisperer,” Pokémon with many different problems are brought to Pokémon Breeder Paul, who works to build a good relationship. Today’s problem Pokémon is a runaway Audino! Since it can tell how people feel, it can also detect bad things, and it no longer trusts people. Wanting to teach it that people aren’t all that bad, Paul sets off in search of Audino!

Paul: Audino! Where are you?

Paul: This is so hard! How can I communicate to Audino without shouting? I want to tell it so many things!

Narrator: After a long journey, he finds Audino in a cave deep in the mountains. With a great effort, he manages not to shout about his feelings. Instead, he runs up to Audino and gives it a big hug!

Paul: Audino...

Narrator: Audino can sense people’s feelings. When it senses Paul’s intense, sincere caring for Pokémon, its distrust of humans melts away...

Paul: That’s right! If you sincerely care about Pokémon, they will understand even if you don’t use words! It’s your feelings that are important!

Best of Sinnoh TV

Best of Sinnoh TV broadcasts The Diary of a Poké Romantic, a telenovela program documenting the romances and adventures of an unnamed girl.

Best of Sinnoh TV

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?

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.

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!

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!

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. With me and Kricketot, it was always three steps forward, two steps back. But we were getting stronger. Then, one day, Kricketot started to shine! Next week: “The Diary of a Poké Romantic,” episode five! “Kricketot Becomes Kricketune! Watch Me! I’ll Change, Too!” And to cancel Evolution, press the B Button... Tell me that first!

After Kricketot evolved, it became stronger as Kricketune. We also got other Pokémon, so we could go farther and farther from home. But where is my beloved Gym Leader? Where is that city he said he’s from? I do have the Town Map, but maps baffle me. It doesn’t matter, though. If we keep moving, we’ll get somewhere. Next week: “The Diary of a Poké Romantic,” episode six! “How Is This Possible? Pokémon Gyms Can’t Be Found Everywhere!” The more lost you are, the less useful a map becomes! You know it’s true!

Our journey was long, and it was hard. But no one wants to hear that! So, I finally found my Gym Leader. But he has an incurable disease! He begged me, out of the blue, with his last wish.

My beloved Gym Leader, whom I fought so hard to meet, was a fraud! How dare he con this pure maiden! How dare he toy with my emotions! But whose fault was it? Was it mine for being taken in?

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!

In the anime

Marian on television

Television has been present in the Pokémon anime since the first episode, in which Ash saw a Pokémon League battle and Professor Oak's pre-journey lecture on television. Ash and his traveling companions have met several television interviewers and film producers on their journeys, but televisions remained largely unseen until Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire.

In Spell of the Unown, a TV news crew reported live as Greenfield was gradually enveloped in crystal.

When he first met Ash in There's no Place Like Hoenn!, Max mentioned watching the Silver Conference on television and thus learned a lot about him. Several characters mention watching Pokémon Contests and Grand Festival tournaments on TV. Pokémon League Conferences and Pokémon Showcases are also popular events. In addition, several smaller Pokémon competitions are broadcast on television, such as battles against the Champion, the Pokémon Dress-Up Contest, the Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition, the Pokémon Baccer World Cup, and Pokémon Base games.

Like in the games, Sinnoh Now is broadcast in the Sinnoh region, with Rhonda and Jack as part of the staff. Marian also hosts a TV show, in which she announces the locations of upcoming Pokémon Contests and recaps past competitions.

In When Pokémon Worlds Collide!, Dawn instantly recognized Professor Oak, revealing he hosts a poetry show.

The game show Sinnoh Pokémon Hustle is very popular in the region. In Beating the Bustle and Hustle!, Team Rocket disguised themselves as producers searching for contestants with a full obstacle course setup apparently replicating that of the show, but in reality it was a front for recruitment for the organization itself.

Alola broadcasts its Battle Royal matches to audiences across the region. The Masked Royal, as well as the Revengers crew, including Mad Magmar and Mr. Electric, are often featured in the coverage. Jessie and James sometimes host the events.

Alola TV has been providing television service to all four Alolan islands for 55 years. Laki stars in the popular Alolan Detective Laki series. The show was revealed to have begun filming for its fifth season in Bright Lights, Big Changes!. George Charino is its producer. In This Magik Moment!, Sophocles was a contestant in an episode of the game show Alola Pokémon Quiz. Charino also produces shows such as Little Magikarp Melody and Thirst-Three, also known as The Refreshing Trio: Alola Idols, a magical girl superhero show whose leads were unavailable to film an episode so Mallow, Lana, and Lillie filled in.

Trivia

At the start of the GOTCHA! animated music video, the four protagonists of Stand by Me are seen walking along a railroad. This is a reference to the film played on TV in the Generation I games and their later remakes.

 |- style="background:#FFF"
-| {{m|Acrobatics}}
+| [[Eviolite]]
-| The user nimbly strikes the target. It's a technical move.
+| Come on! Like I’d know!
-| When is the right time to use this move?
+| When you give the Eviolite to a Pokémon that can still evolve... Its Defense and Special Defense both rise sharply! Isn’t that amazing?! So, we’ll see you later, then!
-| Actually, when the user isn't holding any items, the power goes up.
+| What? That was a really short show!
-| 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"
-| {{m|Facade}}
+| [[Expert Belt]]
-| James Movesworth's Facade! That's how you use this move.
+| Come on! Like I’d know!
-| Well… Of course, it has a meaning, doesn't it?
+| 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...
-| 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 putting that on?!
-| 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"
-| {{m|False Swipe}}
+| [[Float Stone]]
-| 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 you give the Float Stone to a Pokémon, its weight decreases! Let’s try giving one to Watchy right now!
-| Actually, it’s most effectively used on a Pokémon you want to catch.
+| Hey! Are you calling me fat?!
-| 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"
-| {{m|Flame Charge}}
+| [[Focus Band]]
-| 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?
+| 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?
-| Actually, the move warms up the body nicely, and the Speed of the user goes up.
+| Hey! I don't want either one!
-| 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"
-| {{m|Fling}}
+| [[Grip Claw]]
-| 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?
+| Grip Claw makes moves like Wrap and Bind last longer. Up to seven turns! It also works with moves like Clamp, Fire Spin, Sand Tomb, Whirlpool, and Magma Storm!
-| Actually, its power and effects depend on the held item.
+| Hey! That's pretty persistent!
-| 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"
-| {{m|Grass Knot}}
+| [[King's Rock]]
-| The user snares the target with grass and causes it to trip. It’s something of a petty move.
+| Come on! Like I’d know!
-| When is the right time to use this move?
+| Hold the King’s Rock and strike a target for a 10% chance of making that Pokémon flinch! The item Razor Fang has the same effect! So let’s give it a try! Watchy, want a Hertz Doughnut?
-| Actually, it’s best used when the target is heavier than the user!
+| Hey! I know that trick!
-| 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}}
+| [[Lagging Tail]]
-| The user attacks the target with fire. It's a gracious yet dirty move.
+| Come on! Like I’d know!
-| Which part of the move is dirty?
+| Holding a Lagging Tail makes the holder use its moves last. By the way, Full Incense is an item that has the same effect! Using it with moves like Reversal might be a good idea! Here, Watchy! I’ll hold this! Let’s play rock-paper-scissors! Ready?
-| Actually, this move burns certain items the target holds, such as a Gem or Berry.
+| Hey! Going late is no fair!
-| 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"
-| {{m|Leech Seed}}
+| [[Leftovers]]
-| It plants a seed on the target and absorbs its HP every turn just little by little. It’s a surprisingly violent move.
+| I always clean my plate, so
-| Where does the absorbed HP go?
+| When a Pokémon is holding Leftovers, a small fraction of its HP is healed every turn! Isn’t that neat?! Oh! That thing on the floor there... Could it be?
-| Actually, the user can restore its HP with the HP the move absorbed.
+| Hey! Why are you picking that up?
-| Use this move on a small plant pot, then look forward to checking its growth every day.
 |- style="background:#FFF"
-| {{m|Mat Block}}
+| {{i|Metronome}}
-| The user uses a flipped tatami mat as a shield to protect against the opposing Pokémon moves. This is a remarkably skillful move.
+| I’ve heard of the name, at least
-| Is there anything that I should be careful about when I use it?
+| 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, it can’t protect from status moves, so you can’t let your guard down.
+| Hey! Stop the music!
-| 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}}
+| [[Ring Target]]
-| The user attacks the target with flame from its mouth. It’s an undoubtedly fantastic move.
+| Come on! Of course I haven’t!
-| Which part of the move is fantastic?
+| 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, the move lowers the target’s Special Attack when it’s used to attack.
+| Hey! That’s not very nice!
-| 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"
-| {{m|Payback}}
+| [[Rocky Helmet]]
-| If the user is the second to attack, the power will be doubled. It's a moderately stoic move.
+| Come on! Of course I haven’t!
-| What will happen if both parties use this 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, the slower your Speed is, the more advantage this move has.
+| No fair! You’re not a Pokémon!
-| 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}}
+| [[Scope Lens]]
-| The user shoots sharp spikes at the target in rapid succession. It's a wonderfully relaxing move.
+| Come on! Like I'd know!
-| In succession… How long does it last?
+| 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 user can attack two to five times in a row.
+| Hey! Are we going to duel?!
-| 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.
 |- style="background:#FFF"
-| {{m|Psybeam}}
+| [[Shed Shell]]
-| The user emits a beam of mysterious light. It’s a mildly psychedelic move.
+| Come on! Like I'd know!
-| Psychedelic... Doesn’t it sound a bit dangerous?
+| 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, it can leave the target confused, too.
+| Hey! What are you looking at me for?
-| When you want to concentrate, like to prepare for an exam, use this move. It has great effects, except for the people around you.
+|-
-|- style="background:#FFF"
+| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | [[Shell Bell]]
-| {{m|Quick Attack}}
+| style="background:#FFF" | Come on! Like I’d know
-| The user can strike first for sure. It's a plainly natural 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?
-| What if both parties use this move?
+| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Hey! That’s it? Just listening to it?
-| Actually, the one with higher Speed can strike first.
+|}
-| 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.
+|}
-|- style="background:#FFF"
-| {{m|Retaliate}}
+======Trouble Talk======
-| The user gets revenge for an ally that fainted. It’s an unexpectedly heroic 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.
-| When is the right time to use this move?
-| Actually, if an ally fainted in the previous turn, the user’s power will be doubled.
+:''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, 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.
+{| class="expandable"
-|- style="background:#FFF"
+|
-| {{m|Round}}
-| The user attacks the target with a song. It's a very rocking move.
-| Attack with a song… It doesn't sound like a strong move.
-| 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.
-| 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.
-|- style="background:#FFF"
-| {{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.
+:''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.

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!
 <br>
-:''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!
+:''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!
 <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!
+:''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!
 <br>
-:''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!
+:''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!
 <br>
-:''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!
+:''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!
 <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!

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!

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!

-:''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.

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!

-======Items with Nadia======
+===Sinnoh===
-This program talks about items and their effects. No formal title is given for this program.
+{{main|Jubilife TV}}
+[[File:DPTV.png|thumb|Television in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
+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 {{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.
+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===
+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.
-{| class="roundy expandable" width="70%" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{Unova color}}; border: 3px solid #{{Unova color dark}}"
+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.

-:''Nifty! {{a|Infiltrator}} Woman!
+|After You is a move filled with the spirit of give and take, where you allow the target to attack right after you do.
-:''Poké Ranger: Here you are! Ability Villain!
+|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!
-:''Infiltrator Woman: Tee hee! I’m Infiltrator Woman! Infiltrator allows me to ignore the opponent’s moves to protect itself, such as Light Screen, Reflect, Safeguard, Mist, and Substitute, so that I can use moves.

-:''Poké Ranger: Hah? What did you say? Sorry. I was lost in thought...

+|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!

+|Magic Room is a very basic move that causes items to have no effect for a certain amount of turns.
-<br>
+|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!

-:''Here comes Mr. {{a|Inner Focus}}!
+|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!
-:''Poké Ranger: Here you are! Ability Villain!

-| 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...
+|When a Pokémon is holding Leftovers, a small fraction of its HP is healed every turn! Isn't that neat?!
-| Hey! Why are you putting that on?!
+|Oh! That thing on the floor there... Could it be?
+|Hey! Why are you picking that up?
 |- style="background:#FFF"
-| [[Float Stone]]
+|[[Life Orb]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
-| Come on! Of course I haven’t!
+|Life? I've got a bad feeling about this
-| When you give the Float Stone to a Pokémon, its weight decreases! Let’s try giving one to Watchy right now!
+|Holding the Life Orb makes attacks do 30% more damage! Unfortunately, the holder's HP goes down by 10%...
-| Hey! Are you calling me fat?!
+|Um, anyway, there's a lot more to it, but, um... See you next time!
+|What? You're just ending it there?

-| [[Focus Band]]
+|{{i|Metronome}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
-| Come on! Like I'd know!
+|I've heard of the name, at least
-| 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?
+|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!
-| Hey! I don't want either one!
+|So, here we go! Once, twice...
+|Hey! Stop the music!
 |- style="background:#FFF"
-| [[Grip Claw]]
+|[[Red Card]]
-| Come on! Like I'd know!
+|Come on! Of course I haven't!
-| Grip Claw makes moves like Wrap and Bind last longer. Up to seven turns! It also works with moves like Clamp, Fire Spin, Sand Tomb, Whirlpool, and Magma Storm!
+|When the Pokémon holding the Red Card is attacked, the attacker is thrown out of the battle.
-| Hey! That's pretty persistent!
+|Just so you know, Watchy, I'm holding a Red Card right now!
+|Hey! I'm not going to attack you!
 |- style="background:#FFF"
-| [[King's Rock]]
+|[[Ring Target]]
-| Come on! Like I’d know!
+|Come on! Of course I haven't!
-| Hold the King’s Rock and strike a target for a 10% chance of making that Pokémon flinch! The item Razor Fang has the same effect! So let’s give it a try! Watchy, want a Hertz Doughnut?
+|If a Pokémon holds the Ring Target, even attacks that would usually have no effect will hit it!
-| Hey! I know that trick!
+|That reminds me, I have a present for you, Watchy! Your very own Ring Target!
+|Hey! That's not very nice!
 |- style="background:#FFF"
-| [[Lagging Tail]]
+| [[Rocky Helmet]]
-| Come on! Like I’d know!
+| Come on! Of course I haven't!
-| Holding a Lagging Tail makes the holder use its moves last. By the way, Full Incense is an item that has the same effect! Using it with moves like Reversal might be a good idea! Here, Watchy! I’ll hold this! Let’s play rock-paper-scissors! Ready?
+| When an attack does physical damage to a Pokémon holding the Rocky Helmet, the attacker takes damage, too.
-| Hey! Going late is no fair!
+| I'll try it! So I put it on, like so, and... OK, Watchy, hit me with your best shot!
+| No fair! You're not a Pokémon!
 |- style="background:#FFF"
-| [[Leftovers]]
+|[[Shed Shell]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
-| I always clean my plate, so
+|Come on! Like I'd know!
-| When a Pokémon is holding Leftovers, a small fraction of its HP is healed every turn! Isn’t that neat?! Oh! That thing on the floor there... Could it be?
+|When a Pokémon is holding the Shed Shell, it can switch out of battle, even when it usually wouldn't be able to!
-| Hey! Why are you picking that up?
+|Still, I wonder what kind of Pokémon this shell came from?
+|Hey! What are you looking at me for?

+|Suppose you land an attack while holding the Shell Bell. Your HP would be restored by one-eighth of the damage done!
-| Hey! Stop the music!
+|The Shell Bell sure has a pretty sound, doesn't it?
+|Hey! That's it? Just listening to 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!
+|style="background:#FFF" | Holding the Zoom Lens makes accuracy go up 20%! But it only works when the holder moves after the target.
-| Hey! That’s not very nice!

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! 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!

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.

+:''Azusa: KONNICHIWA, yo! Are you overflowing with GENKI? It’s time for this week’s highly anticipated “KOUKAN TALK”! This is today’s phrase: “Your Pokémon is cute!” This is a phrase you want to try out! So, what’s the right way to say it? “Kawaii Pokémon da ne!” Ka-wah-ii po-kay-mo-n da nay! With this you can flatter that person you like! YATTA! Trading Pokémon internationally is sure great! Tee hee! OK, be sure to watch again! MATA KONDO!
 <br>
-:''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!
+:''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!
 <br>
-:''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!
+:''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!

-:''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!
+:''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!
+<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!
+<br>
+:''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>
+:''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!

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.

-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.
+:''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!

-The events of the main storyline in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} are encouraged by a television program, ''The Search for the [[Red Gyarados]]''.

+:''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!

+:''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!
-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.

+:''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!

-|{{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"
-|{{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"
-|{{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"
-|{{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"
-|{{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"
-|{{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"
-|{{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!

-|{{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"
-|{{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
-|- style="background:#FFF"
+| Ohwhale
-|{{m|Psyshock}}
+| Ohwell
-|Psyshock is a very indirect move where the user attacks with a psychic wave that takes physical form.
+| 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!
-|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!
+|- style="background:#FFF"
+| style="{{roundybl|5px}}" | Today’s Pokémon is {{p|Turtwig}}! What is it called in Japanese?
+| OK, you three sleepy-looking kids over there!
+| Turtwig

+| 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!

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.

-''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.

 |- style="background:#FFF"
-|[[Eject Button]]
+| {{m|Acrobatics}}
-|Come on! Of course I haven't!
+| The user nimbly strikes the target. It's a technical move.
-|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!
+| When is the right time to use this move?
-|I'll use it to make a quick escape!
+| Actually, when the user isn't holding any items, the power goes up.
-|Hey! Where do you think you're going?!
+| 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"
-|[[Eviolite]]
+| {{m|Facade}}
-|Come on! Like I'd know!
+| James Movesworth's Facade! That's how you use this move.
-|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?!
+| Well… Of course, it has a meaning, doesn't it?
-|So, we'll see you later, then.
+| Actually, if you use it when you're poisoned, paralyzed or burned, the power will be doubled. It's a very heroic move.
-|What? That was a really short show!
+| 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"
-|[[Expert Belt]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
+| {{m|False Swipe}}
-|Come on! Like I'd know!
+| 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 Expert Belt when attacking makes that attack do more damage when it's super effective! An amazing 20% more, in fact!
+| When is the right time to use the move?
-|OK, then...
+| Actually, it’s most effectively used on a Pokémon you want to catch.
-|Hey! Why are you putting that on?!
+| 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"
-|[[Float Stone]]
+| {{m|Flame Charge}}
-|Come on! Of course I haven't!
+| The user cloaks itself with flame and then attacks. It’s quite a hard-core move.
-|When you give the Float Stone to a Pokémon, its weight decreases!
+| Cloaking itself with flame... Won’t its body get hot?
-|Let's try giving one to Watchy right now!
+| Actually, the move warms up the body nicely, and the Speed of the user goes up.
-|Hey! Are you calling me fat?!
+| 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"
-|[[Iron Ball]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
+| {{m|Fling}}
-|C'mon! How could I know that?
+| The user quickly flings its held item at the target to attack. It’s a surprisingly sloppy 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!
+| Its power and effects may vary, correct?
-|So, let's demonstrate! Watchy, heads up! Catch!
+| Actually, its power and effects depend on the held item.
-|Hey! Do I look like I can fly?
+| 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"
-|[[Leftovers]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
+| {{m|Grass Knot}}
-|I always clean my plate, so
+| The user snares the target with grass and causes it to trip. It’s something of a petty move.
-|When a Pokémon is holding Leftovers, a small fraction of its HP is healed every turn! Isn't that neat?!
+| When is the right time to use this move?
-|Oh! That thing on the floor there... Could it be?
+| Actually, it’s best used when the target is heavier than the user!
-|Hey! Why are you picking that up?
+| 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"
-|[[Life Orb]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
+| {{m|Incinerate}}
-|Life? I've got a bad feeling about this
+| The user attacks the target with fire. It's a gracious yet dirty move.
-|Holding the Life Orb makes attacks do 30% more damage! Unfortunately, the holder's HP goes down by 10%...
+| Which part of the move is dirty?
-|Um, anyway, there's a lot more to it, but, um... See you next time!
+| Actually, this move burns certain items the target holds, such as a Gem or Berry.
-|What? You're just ending it there?
+| 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"
-|{{i|Metronome}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}
+| {{m|Leech Seed}}
-|I've heard of the name, at least
+| It plants a seed on the target and absorbs its HP every turn just little by little. It’s a surprisingly violent 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!
+| Where does the absorbed HP go?
-|So, here we go! Once, twice...
+| Actually, the user can restore its HP with the HP the move absorbed.
-|Hey! Stop the music!
+| Use this move on a small plant pot, then look forward to checking its growth every day.
 |- style="background:#FFF"
-|[[Red Card]]
+| {{m|Mat Block}}
-|Come on! Of course I haven't!
+| The user uses a flipped tatami mat as a shield to protect against the opposing Pokémon moves. This is a remarkably skillful move.
-|When the Pokémon holding the Red Card is attacked, the attacker is thrown out of the battle.
+| Is there anything that I should be careful about when I use it?
-|Just so you know, Watchy, I'm holding a Red Card right now!
+| Actually, it can’t protect from status moves, so you can’t let your guard down.
-|Hey! I'm not going to attack you!
+| 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"
-|[[Ring Target]]
+| {{m|Mystical Fire}}
-|Come on! Of course I haven't!
+| The user attacks the target with flame from its mouth. It’s an undoubtedly fantastic move.
-|If a Pokémon holds the Ring Target, even attacks that would usually have no effect will hit it!
+| Which part of the move is fantastic?
-|That reminds me, I have a present for you, Watchy! Your very own Ring Target!
+| Actually, the move lowers the target’s Special Attack when it’s used to attack.
-|Hey! That's not very nice!
+| 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"
-| [[Rocky Helmet]]
+| {{m|Payback}}
-| Come on! Of course I haven't!
+| If the user is the second to attack, the power will be doubled. It's a moderately stoic move.
-| When an attack does physical damage to a Pokémon holding the Rocky Helmet, the attacker takes damage, too.
+| What will happen if both parties use this move?
-| I'll try it! So I put it on, like so, and... OK, Watchy, hit me with your best shot!
+| Actually, the slower your Speed is, the more advantage this move has.
-| No fair! You're not a Pokémon!
+| If you use this move on a person who helped you out previously… you'll repay kindness with injury.
 |- style="background:#FFF"
-|[[Shed Shell]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
+| {{m|Pin Missile}}
-|Come on! Like I'd know!
+| The user shoots sharp spikes at the target in rapid succession. It's a wonderfully relaxing move.
-|When a Pokémon is holding the Shed Shell, it can switch out of battle, even when it usually wouldn't be able to!
+| In succession… How long does it last?
-|Still, I wonder what kind of Pokémon this shell came from?
+| Actually, the user can attack two to five times in a row.
-|Hey! What are you looking at me for?
+| 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.
+|- style="background:#FFF"
+| {{m|Psybeam}}
+| 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.
 |- style="background:#FFF"
-|[[Shell Bell]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
+| {{m|Quick Attack}}
-|I've heard of the name, at least
+| The user can strike first for sure. It's a plainly natural move.
-|Suppose you land an attack while holding the Shell Bell. Your HP would be restored by one-eighth of the damage done!
+| What if both parties use this move?
-|The Shell Bell sure has a pretty sound, doesn't it?
+| Actually, the one with higher Speed can strike first.
-|Hey! That's it? Just listening to it?
+| 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.
 |- style="background:#FFF"
-|style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | [[Zoom Lens]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}
+| {{m|Retaliate}}
-|style="background:#FFF" | Come on! Like I'd know!
+| The user gets revenge for an ally that fainted. It’s an unexpectedly heroic move.
-|style="background:#FFF" | Holding the Zoom Lens makes accuracy go up 20%! But it only works when the holder moves after the target.
+| When is the right time to use this move?
-|style="background:#FFF" | My motto is, strike first and strike hard!
+| Actually, if an ally fainted in the previous turn, the user’s power will be doubled.
-|style="background:#FFF; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Hey! That's an evil-looking stare!
+| 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.
-|}
+|- style="background:#FFF"
-|}
+| {{m|Round}}
+| The user attacks the target with a song. It's a very rocking move.
-====x:35–x:59====
+| Attack with a song… It doesn't sound like a strong move.
+| 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.
-=====Eyes on Unova=====
+| 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.
-''Eyes on Unova'' is a program about a certain resident of Unova.
+|- style="background:#FFF"
+| {{m|Spiky Shield}}
-{| class="expandable"
+| 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!
-:''Host: Today, on “Eyes on Unova,” we will introduce you to:''
+|- style="background:#FFF"
-<br>
+| {{m|U-turn}}
-:''An older man from [[Opelucid City]] who loves musicals!''
+| After making its attack, the user rushes back and switches places with another Pokémon. It’s a brisk and impetuous move.
-:''Hello! I’ve heard that you hand out [[Prop|Musical Props]] every day!''
+| When is the right time to use this move?
-:''Man: Indubitably!  ♪ C’est vrai! ♪''
+| It’s particularly effective when the user can’t switch places with a party Pokémon due to an opposing Pokémon’s Ability.
-:''Host: Oh dear. There’s really no need to sing about it, sir...''
+| 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.
-:''Man: ♪ Beeee-caaaause ♪ bee-cause ♪...''
+|- style="background:#FFF"
-:''Host: OK, OK, thank you very much! That was our report from Opelucid City!''
+| {{m|Water Pulse}}
-<br>
+| It attacks the target with a pulsing blast of water. It’s a surprisingly healthy move.
-:''A talented Pokémon massage therapist who lives in Castelia City!''
+| How strong is the pulsing water?
-:''Hello! So what got you interested in Pokémon massage therapy?''
+| Actually, it’s so strong that it can confuse the target.
-:''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.
+| 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.
-:''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.

-<br>
+| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybl|5px}}" | {{m|Water Shuriken}}
-:''[[Driftveil City#Move lover's house|This wonderful lady]] who lives right here in Driftveil City!''
+| 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.
-:''Hello! You are the lady who is famous for being obsessed with TMs, right?''
+| style="background:#FFF" | In succession... How long does it last?
-:''Woman: That's right. Are you familiar with a move called Spite?''
+| style="background:#FFF" | Actually, the user can attack two to five times in a row.
-:''Host: Um... I've heard of it..''
+| 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!
-:''Woman: I will not speak to you unless you bring me a Pokémon that knows Spite!''

-:''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.

+:''Paul: Take good notes! First, gently let the Pokémon out of the Poké Ball! Then loudly tell it how much you enjoy its company! Shouting is best! That’s it! Just repeat this 30 times a day! They’ll grow with the power of love! ...Probably! OK. See you next week!

-| {{p|Patrat}}
-| 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"
-| {{p|Zweilous}}
-| 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"
-| {{p|Minccino}}
-| 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"
-| {{p|Darumaka}}
-| 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"
-| {{p|Purrloin}}
-| 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"
-| {{p|Cubchoo}}
-| Kodie
-| [[Driftveil City]]
-| 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!

-:''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!''
+<br>
-:''And it looks so real! Like it could leap into battle at any second...''
+:''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!
-:''But relax! If you just put this Poké Doll down, you can escape for sure!''
+<br>
-:''This highest-quality Poké Doll is available for only...''
+:''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!
-:''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!''
+<br>
-:''Operators are standing by!''
+:''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. With me and Kricketot, it was always three steps forward, two steps back. But we were getting stronger. Then, one day, Kricketot started to shine! Next week: “The Diary of a Poké Romantic,” episode five! “Kricketot Becomes Kricketune! Watch Me! I’ll Change, Too!” And to cancel Evolution, press the B Button... Tell me that first!
+<br>
+:''After Kricketot evolved, it became stronger as Kricketune. We also got other Pokémon, so we could go farther and farther from home. But where is my beloved Gym Leader? Where is that city he said he’s from? I do have the Town Map, but maps baffle me. It doesn’t matter, though. If we keep moving, we’ll get somewhere. Next week: “The Diary of a Poké Romantic,” episode six! “How Is This Possible? Pokémon Gyms Can’t Be Found Everywhere!” The more lost you are, the less useful a map becomes! You know it’s true!
 <br>
-:''So this is today's recommended item!''
+:''Our journey was long, and it was hard. But no one wants to hear that! So, I finally found my Gym Leader. But he has an incurable disease! He begged me, out of the blue, with his last wish. He asked for my Pokémon! But my Kricketune’s my partner! Next week: “The Diary of a Poké Romantic,” episode seven! “My Trail of Footprints Shortened the Distance Between Us!” Everytime I see Kricketune’s face, I am reminded of our time 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!''
-:''All for amaaazing {{PDollar}}3,000,000!''
-:''Call NOW!''
 <br>
-:''So this is today's recommended item!''
+:''My beloved Gym Leader, whom I fought so hard to meet, was a fraud! How dare he con this pure maiden! How dare he toy with my emotions! But whose fault was it? Was it mine for being taken in? All I know is that my tears overflow, and despair is my world… Next week: “The Diary of a Poké Romantic,” episode eight! “Kricketune and I! Our Bond Is True!” That Gym Leader’s eating a Giga Impact for playing me for a fool!
-:''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>
-:''So this is today's recommended item!''
+:''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! Silver Wind over Sinnoh Skies!” You were laughing at me for falling for that fraud, weren’t you?
-:''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!''

-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.
-Shows that are broadcast include:
-*''The Ability Warrior: Poké Ranger!''
-*''KOUKAN TALK''
-*''PokéQuiz''
-*''Best of Sinnoh TV''
-*''I-See News''
-*''Gym Freaks''
-*''What's That?''
-*''Unova Sports Spectacular!''
-*''The Pokémon Whisperer''
-*Items with Nadia (this show is not given a title)
-In ''Gym Freaks'', the Gym Leader April interviews 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.
