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 Handsome during their first encounter with him in Jubilife City.
