===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
==Personality==
In Diamond and Pearl, Wallace is portrayed as a friendly man, and a famous celebrity, which he has received a large fanbase. He is portrayed as humble and modest as he would like privacy but will provide advice to Trainers when necessary. 
By Journeys, due to him no longer being Champion, he became flamboyant and very narcissistic. He gets annoyed with the fact that Ash forgot about Wallace as well as getting offended when Ash mentioned Steven Stone, likely because Wallace lost his Champion title offscreen and went back to his job as Gym Leader. Wallace is also persistent such as insisting that Ash battles him and showering him with many rewards just so that Ash could remember him, despite not competing in the World Coronation Series.

===Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl===
Wallace, the Hoenn Champion, went to Sinnoh to form the Wallace Cup Pokémon Contest taking place at Lake Valor. He and his Milotic were able to find a quiet place to rest and relax; soon, their location is discovered by Ash and his friends, Brock and Dawn. Wallace expected someone to visit him eventually, but Dawn promised they wouldn't tell anyone about his whereabouts. Ash mentioned that Dawn also wanted to enter the Wallace Cup, which pleased Wallace, who also felt he could have a Contest Battle with Dawn. Ash and Dawn sparred a bit, which impressed Wallace by the use of their moves. He even suggested Ash to enter the Contest tournament, an idea Dawn approved of, thinking it would be good for Ash's Buizel.
He also noticed Dawn's Pokémon executed moves in a forced way than natural. He asked her if she had played with her, Pokémon before, which reminded her that she should have fun with her Pokémon during the Contest. Team Rocket showed up as well, but in disguise, as Jessilina and her coaches. Jessie tried to show off her Seviper in a tribute to Wallace's Milotic. Wallace, to show gratitude for this fun time, had Milotic perform by executing dazzling moves. It made Jessie want to teach Seviper to use Aqua Ring, but Wallace reminded her that Seviper normally can't use that move. Still, he wished of everyone to be present at the Wallace Cup, and left.DP075: Our Cup Runneth Over!

Wallace heard about Ash's performances in the World Coronoation Series and, despite not competing in the match, challenges Ash to a battle, which Ash accepts. The battle went on for so long to a point that both Goh and Ash ended up missing the Contest performance and Goh ended up watching the show on his Rotom Phone. In the end Ash was able to defeat Wallace. As a reward for his victory, Wallace gives Ash a Rain Badge as well as his scarf, much to Ash's bafflement, given that Ash already earned the Rain Badge from defeating Juan, Wallace's scarf was too big for Ash, and the fact that Ash is a Champion and is not collecting Gym Badges anymore.PJ105: Reuniting for the First Time!
