'''Mixing records''' is a way to share information with other players, which is able to be done in the Record Mixer. The Record Mixer is a room in the [[Pokémon Center]] that allows players to mix records with up to four players. Mixing records allows the players to swap their data from other players. Some of the things that are done are just meant for entertainment, and some have an effect on what the player can do with their Pokémon in the game. The Record Mixer and the record mixing feature was introduced in [[Generation III]] as a special feature using the enhanced multiplayer mode on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. The Record Room is located in any [[Pokémon Center]] in the second floor on the far right in [[Generation III]] and inside the [[Union Room]] in [[Generation IV]].  
'''Record mixing''' (Japanese: '''レコードつうしん''' ''record communication'') is a mechanism used to share information with other {{player}}s that is only present in the [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}} games. It influences certain aspects of regular gameplay such as [[Television|television shows]], [[Secret Base]]s, and the [[water tile]]s where {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Feebas}} are located.


In Pokémon {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, two to four [[Game Boy Advance]]s are needed with one to three link cables. The game will allow up to three other people to mix records with the player at one time. Enter the '''Pokémon Cable Club Record Center'''{{sup/3|RS}} or '''Record Corner''' (Japanese: '''レコードコーナー'''){{sup/3|E}}, and sit in a chair, and wait for the other players to sit as well. The records will automatically mix with each other. In Pokémon {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, two to four [[Nintendo DS]] systems are needed to mix records. Instead of a separate room, the Record Room is combined with the [[Union Room]], where the people in the Union Room will automatically mix with each other.
This feature was removed in [[Generation V]].


Mixing records with other players change many small aspects of the game including [[television|television shows]], [[secret base]]s, and even the movement of {{p|Feebas}}.
==Generation III==
[[File:Record Corner RSE FRLG.png|thumb|Record Corner]]
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, record mixing can be performed once the player has reached the [[Mauville City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. Two to four [[Game Boy Advance]] systems are needed with one to three link cables. The game will allow up to three other {{player}}s to mix records with the player at once. The record mixing is performed in the '''Record Corner''' (Japanese: '''レコードコーナー''' ''Record Corner''), also mistakenly called '''Record Center''' only once in the 1.0 release of the English versions of Ruby and Sapphire, which is located on the second floor of any [[Pokémon Center]]. The process requires that each one of the players stands on one of the four colored tiles on the floor. Once this requisite is fulfilled, the players' records will automatically mix with one another.


This feature is not in [[Generation V]].
While record mixing is possible between any non-Japanese versions of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, it is not possible to mix records between a Japanese Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire game and a non-Japanese Ruby or Sapphire game. It is also not possible to mix records between a Japanese Pokémon Emerald game and a non-Japanese Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire game, but it is possible with non-Japanese Emerald games. When trying to mix records with an incompatible game, the Pokémon Center [[NPC]] in the non-Japanese game(s) will inform the player that they may not mix records in different languages, while the Japanese game(s) will simply display the standard connection error message.


==Effects in Generation III==
===Television shows===
===Television shows===
Mixing records affect the Television shows the player can watch, introducing some new shows that weren't available at the start of the game. The people the player mixes records with will be featured in these shows. Four new shows are available after records are mixed:
Record mixing affects the television shows the player can watch by introducing four additional shows that aren't available in the beginning of the [[journey]]. The people the player mixes records with will be featured in these shows.

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

===The Storyteller===
===Mauville Pokémon Center men===
Mixing records will also change what the storyteller in the [[Pokémon Center]] of [[Mauville City]] says or does, depending on his color. He tells the {{player}} about records they have set as well as those set with other players they have mixed records with in {{game|Emerald}}. When approached by the player, he will offer them choices of the records they would like to hear about as well as add a comment about it:
Record mixing transfers the player's [[Pokémon Center men]] of [[Mauville City]]; the Pokémon Center man in the player's game will be replaced by a Pokémon Center man from another player's game.


* '''The Save-Happy Trainer''' - The Storyteller states the number of times that the player has saved the game. He then comments that one will never find a more cautious Trainer than that player.
====The Storyteller====
* '''The Cut-Frenzy Trainer''' - The Storyteller states the number of times that the player has used {{m|Cut}}. He then comments that that is a Trainer who just must love to cut.

When approached by the player, he will offer them choices of the records they would like to hear about as well as add a comment about it.
* '''The Move-Loving Trainer''' - The Storyteller states the number of times the player has moved their [[secret base]]. He then comments that that is a Trainer who loves to move houses often.
* '''The Cable Car-Loving Trainer''' - The Storyteller states the number of times the Trainer rode the Cable Car to [[Mt. Chimney]]. He then comments that that must be a busy Trainer who's up and down all the time.
*'''The Interviewed Trainer''' - The Storyteller states the number of times the Trainer has been interviewed. He then comments that the Trainer must be attracting a lot of attention.
* '''The Safari-Loving Trainer''' - The Storyteller states the number of times the Trainer has went into the {{safari|Hoenn}}. He then comments that the Trainer must have a wild side that comes out in the Safari Zone.
* '''The Hot Spring-Loving Trainer''' - The Storyteller states the number of times the Trainer bathed in the hot springs. He then comments that this must be a Trainer with baby-smooth skin.


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

===Feebas factor===
===Feebas factor===
Mixing records can change the [[trendy phrase]] in [[Dewford Town]]. The trendy phrase in {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} will also affect the pattern of {{p|Feebas}} on {{rt|119|Hoenn}}. By changing the trendy phrase in [[Dewford Town]], the six [[water tile]]s where the {{p|Feebas}} are positioned will change to the same patterns of those the player had mixed records with. The Feebas tiles do not stay in the same spot; rather, they change the next time the trendy phrase is changed.
Record mixing can change the [[trend]] in [[Dewford Town]]. The trend in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} will also affect the pattern of {{p|Feebas}} on {{rt|119|Hoenn}}.

The Feebas tiles do not stay in the same spot; rather, they change the next time the trend is changed.


===Battle Tower===
===Battle Tower===
Mixing Records can also change the way the Trainers battle at the {{ho|Battle Tower}} and include all recorded players in the Battle Tower. The recorded players will be placed with the exact team, moveset, and stats in the spot they lost in the Battle Tower. For example, if the recorded player broke his/her streak and lost at the 45th battle, the player will be able to fight the recorded player at the 45th battle. Furthermore, in Emerald Version, recorded players can also appear as partner Trainers in the Battle Tower's Battle Salon (within the Multi Battle mode), where two of out of the recorded players' three Pokémon will be selected for their party. All recorded players will have Trainer classes assigned to them whether fought or partnered with, similar to what occurs when battling in a recorded player's secret base.

===Eon Ticket===
===Eon Ticket===
Mixing records will copy and transfer the [[Eon Ticket]] over from another person to the player's own game. The person with the Eon Ticket must be connected to the Player 1 slot while the rest are in other spots. This will allow access to [[Southern Island]] and catch {{p|Latios}} or {{p|Latias}}, depending on the game.

This will allow access to [[Southern Island]] and catch {{p|Latios}} or {{p|Latias}}, depending on the game. Only the original recipient of the Eon Ticket (through an e-Card or other event) can transfer it via mixing records; players who first receive their Eon Ticket by mixing records cannot transfer it further. The number of Eon Tickets that one recipient can transfer is limited.{{fact}}


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

==Effects in Generation IV==
===Pokémon Outbreak===
{{incomplete|section|effects in HGSS}}
Mixing records with a player of a different game allows an active [[Pokémon outbreak]] to be transferred between the two games. This allows for {{p|Surskit}} swarms to be transferred from [[Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire]] into {{g|Emerald}}, and {{p|Seedot}} and {{p|Nuzleaf}} swarms to be transferred from Emerald into Ruby or Sapphire.
===Television shows===
 
There are a couple of shows that use the Record Mixer featured in Pokémon {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, including the ''Trend Tracker'' show, ''Trainer Research'', and ''Sinnoh Now'', that informs players of stats about how many Berries picked on a certain day, battles fought, and Contest information about the recorded player. They also show interviews about recorded players along with [[trendy phrase]]s set up by the recorded player.
==Generation IV==
{{incomplete|section|Effects in HGSS}}
In [[Generation IV]], two to five [[Nintendo DS]] systems are needed to mix records. Instead of a separate room, record mixing is integrated into the [[Union Room]], where the players there will automatically mix records with one another.

====Television shows====
Some [[Jubilife_TV#Programs|Jubilife TV programs]] featured in Pokémon {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} are included in record mixing. These include the ''Trend Tracker'' show, ''Trainer Research'', and ''Sinnoh Now''. Once records are mixed, these shows will include information about the other players with whom records were mixed. This information includes number of berries picked on a certain day, battles fought, contests won, interviews, and [[trend]]s.


===Feebas factor===
====Feebas factor====
When the player mixes records, all the players who mix records will get the same positioning of the {{p|Feebas}} in [[Mt. Coronet]]. The four tiles where {{p|Feebas}} can be obtained will change to where the Player 1's slot tiles are in the game. This can make it easier to obtain Feebas if all four players search at the same time. The Feebas tiles do not stay in the same spot however; they change the next day.
{{p|Feebas}} can only be found by fishing on four specific water blocks within the foggy underground lake in [[Mt._Coronet#Finding_Feebas|Mt. Coronet]]. The four blocks are random, and change each day. However, when players mix records, all players' Feebas blocks will change to those of Player 1. This can make it easier to obtain Feebas if all players search at the same time.


===Great Marsh===
====Great Marsh====
Mixing records also changes the special Pokémon of the day in the [[Great Marsh]] so all recorded players have the same Pokémon on the same day. Each day, a special Pokémon will change in the [[Great Marsh]]; therefore, to get a new set, players must wait a day. These Pokémon will appear randomly in one of the six areas, some may not appear for a while, while others appear several days in a row or in multiple areas on the same day.
Some Pokémon are always available in the [[Great Marsh]], but there are also [[Great_marsh#Changing_Pok.C3.A9mon|changing Pokémon]] which change daily. These Pokémon will appear randomly in one of the six areas, some may not appear for a while, while others appear several days in a row or in multiple areas on the same day. Record mixing synchronizes these changing Pokémon, so that all recorded players have the same Pokémon in the same areas on the same day.


===Game Corner===

Reason: Missing information (e.g. how mixing records affects swarms in RSE); rewrite sections and review grammar accordingly, if necessary

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

This feature was removed in Generation V.

Generation III

Record Corner

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

While record mixing is possible between any non-Japanese versions of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, it is not possible to mix records between a Japanese Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire game and a non-Japanese Ruby or Sapphire game. It is also not possible to mix records between a Japanese Pokémon Emerald game and a non-Japanese Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire game, but it is possible with non-Japanese Emerald games. When trying to mix records with an incompatible game, the Pokémon Center NPC in the non-Japanese game(s) will inform the player that they may not mix records in different languages, while the Japanese game(s) will simply display the standard connection error message.

Television shows

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

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

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

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

Secret Base

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

Mauville Pokémon Center men

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

The Storyteller

Record mixing will also change what the storyteller in the Pokémon Center of Mauville City says or does, depending on his color. He tells the player about records they have set as well as those set with other players they have mixed records with in Pokémon Emerald. When approached by the player, he will offer them choices of the records they would like to hear about as well as add a comment about it.

Pokémon Trainer Fan Club

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

Feebas factor

Record mixing can change the trend in Dewford Town. The trend in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald will also affect the pattern of Feebas on Route 119. By changing the trend in Dewford Town, the six water tiles where the Feebas are positioned will change to the same patterns of those the player had mixed records with. The Feebas tiles do not stay in the same spot; rather, they change the next time the trend is changed.

Battle Tower

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

Eon Ticket

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

Record Hall

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

Pokémon Outbreak

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

Generation IV

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

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

Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum

Television shows

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

Feebas factor

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

Great Marsh

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

Veilstone Game Corner

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

Jubilife TV

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

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver

Safari Zone

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