Vs. Recorder

The Vs. Recorder (Japanese: バトルレコーダー Battle Recorder) is a key item exclusive to Pokémon Platinum.

The Vs. Recorder can record and replay a player's battles, similarly to the Frontier Pass's Battle Record, and send them over Nintendo Wi-Fi at the new and improved Global Trade Station in Jubilife City. It can also take pictures of the player's boxes. It can only record Wi-Fi, wireless, and Battle Frontier battles. It is given to the player by Looker during their first encounter with him in Jubilife City.

Modes

The Vs. Recorder in Browser Mode

There are several features and two modes on the Vs. Recorder, which all use the Nintendo DS's touch screen to operate.

Browse Mode

The Browse Mode does not require Nintendo Wi-Fi to use. In this mode, the color of the recorder's interface can be changed from green to other colors (pink, gray, yellow, red, brown, and orange) by touching the side of the touch screen.

Battle Videos

The recorded battles, known as Battle Videos, can be found here. The Vs. Recorder can record battles from the Battle Frontier, wireless play and Wi-Fi. Players can also download videos from the Global Terminal which can be viewed in the second option. The third option deletes recorded videos.

Battle videos change depending on the game's language. Everything changes to the game's language except the names. For example, watching another player's video from a Japanese version of Platinum which features Dahlia in an English game would show her name as Arcade Star ダリア and her Pokémon would have Japanese names.

Uploaded videos don't remain in the Global Terminal forever, so codes might not always work.

Frontier Record

The Vs. Recorder also keeps the amount of Battle Points the players has. It also contains the commemorative prints obtained from the Battle Frontier. This option is only available once the player has arrived at the Battle Frontier.

Global Mode

The Global Mode can only be used in the Global Terminal and it depends on the terminal used.

The Green Room

An uploaded video

This room in the Global Terminal is used to upload and view Pokémon storage system boxes' Pokémon and dressed up Pokémon.

The Pink Room
