Danny (Jubilife TV)

Danny (Japanese: アキノリ Akinori) is the producer of Jubilife TV.
Danny's design and Japanese name, later used in the Pokémon Adventures manga, originate from Pokémon Daisuki Club promotional materials related to the Pokémon Stamp series, where he appears as an image character, portrayed by a real-life man.https://twitter.com/poken_kibou/status/1391001753219264523 Those materials confirm that he is the TV producer non-player character from that appears on the third floor of Jubilife TV headquarters, asking the questions to unlock the Mystery Gift function.
==In the core series games==
Danny, unnamed in the games proper, appears on the yellow-carpeted area on the third floor of Jubilife TV headquarters in , , . In all these games, telling him a specific phrase unlocks the Mystery Gift.
In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, this is achieved using the easy chat system. To unlock the Mystery Gift, the player must answer to the producer's question with the phrase "EVERYONE HAPPY" followed by "Wi-Fi CONNECTION". There are also additional phrases that vary based on game version, language, and Trainer ID number, which can be told to him to unlock special box wallpapers, unavailable otherwise. These could be retrieved from the Daisuki Club website or, unofficially, Filb.de's secret phrase generator.
In Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, the TV producer appears in the very same place, now asking the player about their favorite Jubilife TV show from a selection of three random titles. Initially, the previously secret phrase "EVERYONE HAPPY WI-FI CONNECTION" appears as a selectable fourth option. Choosing it activates the Mystery Gift and the phrase no longer appears as a selectable option. If the player tells him any other phrase, Danny will give them 1 or 3 Stickers of a single type. This can be done only once per day, but choosing "EVERYONE HAPPY WI-FI CONNECTION" does not count towards this limit.
