No one can best me when it comes to raising <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc>. No one! In any <sc>Contest</sc>, my victory is a foregone conclusion! But, that would deprive others of their enjoyment. So I now while away my time examining the <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> of others. It is marvelous to witness how others have raised <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc>. The contented faces of properly raised <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc>... The kind and loving gazes of their <sc>Trainers</sc>... My heart is overwhelmed - there is so much happiness. Oh my! Excuse me! I seem to have nattered on far too long! Please, do allow me to examine your <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> and see how it's grown."

No one can best me when it comes to raising <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc>. No one! Well, let me tell you about <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon Contests</sc>. They're events where one can show off <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc> for the world to see! However, they're held in far-off towns, so I cannot participate often enough. That is why we gather here to show off our <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc>, and have others show us theirs. "


 * When talked to again without participating in a Contest before

Sinnoh
The Sinnoh Pokémon Fan Club Chairman appears in Hearthome City, where he gives the player the Poffin Case. He says that his Fan Club is number one nationwide, primarily because he brags more than anyone. However, he has discontinued his gloating, as he has received several complaints about it. This may explain why only one member is found in his club, as a Pokéfan in Johto states, that "Pokéfans have a policy of not listening to other people brag."

Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum

 * "Hello, hello! How, I say, do you do? I am the Pokémon Fan Club Chairman! Indeed, yes I am! When you wish to treat your Pokémon to a treat, what, I say, do you do? If I may say so, and I will, I feed Poffins to my Pokémon! And why, I say, would I do that? Because the giving of Poffins is a way of expressing your love! For example! If I were to give a Sweet Poffin, the Pokémon eating it would become more cute! For example! A Spicy Poffin will add to the coolness of a Pokémon! In such ways I say that Poffins have nothing but goodness for Pokémon! Therefore! I declare this Poffin Case to be a gift from me to you!"
 * "I urge you to fill it with Poffins and be generous in dispensing them to your Pokémon!"
 * "Nationwide, there are other fan clubs, but we are number one! And why are we number one? Because I brag more than anyone! But now I can't brag as much... People started complaining, so I've had to curtail my bragging..."
