 In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, an International Police officer appears on the [[S.S. Anne]] undercover (using the overworld sprite of a {{tc|Gentleman}}) and in pursuit of [[Team Rocket]]. Here, the group is referred to as the '''Global Police'''.
+In the descriptions of two [[Secret Base]]s on {{rt|127|Hoenn}} in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a robber is stated to have hidden out in one of the Secret Bases while the International Polices staked them out in the other.

+[[Looker]] has appeared as a member of the International Police in {{game|Platinum}}, {{game|Black and White|s}}, and {{g|X and Y}}.
 In Pokémon Platinum, he appears at various points in the story to help the {{player}}, while he himself is on the trail of [[Team Galactic]]. After Team Galactic's boss, [[Cyrus]], disappears into the [[Distortion World]], Looker refocuses his investigation on [[Charon]], who he successfully arrests at [[Stark Mountain]].
-In Pokémon Black and White, he is attempting to arrest the [[Seven Sages]] of [[Team Plasma]]. He appears in the player's house, requesting their help to find the sages.

After he has successfully arrested all of the sages except [[Ghetsis]], he heads off to confirm information he has received about [[N]] and his [[Tao trio|dragon Pokémon]] being in a distant [[region]].
+In Pokémon X and Y, Looker is temporarily stationed in [[Lumiose City]] in the [[Kalos]] region while investigating [[Xerosic]] and [[Team Flare]], under the guise of a private detective opening up a new detective bureau, the {{DL|Lumiose City|Looker Bureau}}. After he succeeds in arresting Xerosic, he leaves Lumiose City behind to escort Xerosic to his trial.

 Looker was set to make a comeback in two [[BW023 (unaired)|unaired]] [[BW024 (unaired)|episodes]] investigating [[Team Rocket]] and [[Team Plasma]] in the [[Unova]] region, before they were {{n|Airing of two-part Rocket-dan VS Plasma-dan episode to be moved|indefinitely postponed}}, and as of ''[[BW112| Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', removed from continuity.
+After a long absence, Looker finally appeared again in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', where he  disguised himself as a {{tc|Hiker}}. After revealing himself to Ash and his friends, Looker explained that he had come to [[Unova]] in order to investigate the actions of [[Team Plasma]], who were planning to take over the region. After an encounter with several Team Plasma members, including the Plasma Scientist [[Colress]], he left the group to continue his investigation.
+Looker again met Ash and his friends in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'' at a city, where a {{p|Haxorus}} was going on a rampage. Looker realized that it must be under the same kind of control as the Pokémon from before, and attempted to use his barrier-creating device to stop Haxorus from being controlled, without any result. He then used an energy indicator to find the source of the energy that controlled Haxorus, eventually pinpointing it into Team Plasma's helicopter.
+In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', he disguised himself as [[Cedric Juniper]]'s assistant and escorted Ash and his friends to the {{an|White Ruins}}. Later, when Team Plasma attacked in an attempt to find the Light Stone, he unmasked himself and began trying to fight the villains. He also appeared in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'' and ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', where he wound up getting caught along with Iris, Cilan, and Cedric Juniper, but they later freed Looker. He then managed to convince Team Rocket into joining the battle. Eventually, when {{p|Reshiram}} was freed from Team Plasma's control, Looker arrested all the Team Plasma members, effectively putting an end to the team's existence.
+Another member of the International Police, [[Tedesco]], appeared in ''[[BW125|Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!]]''. He first  appeared spying on the cruise ship {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} were traveling on, when [[Mrs. Ripple]] invited them to her room to see her jewel collection. After Cilan accused [[Teaque]] to be the thief of Mrs. Ripple's jewel, the "Eye of Liepard", he finally showed up in front of everybody by stopping {{p|Vanillite}}'s {{m|Blizzard}} with {{p|Growlithe}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}} and revealed his true identity.

 ==In the manga==
+===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
+[[Looker]] appears as a character in the {{chap2|Diamond & Pearl}} and {{chap|Platinum}}s, where he assists {{adv|Platinum}} in searching for information on the [[Distortion World]]. In this [[canon]], it is explained that the International Police goes around the world to search for villains. He later appears in the {{chap|Black & White}}, where he entered the Unova League to investigate [[Zinzolin|a participant]] that he thinks may be related to [[Team Plasma]]. In {{chap|Black 2 & White 2|the next chapter}} another, higher-ranked member, [[Lack-Two]], is introduced.
-===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
+Looker and Lack-Two are both equipped with various gadgets called the "International Police Arms". While Looker's gadgets fail on him either from being cheaply made or for physical comedy at Looker's expense, Lack-Two is able to use them just fine. Each of the Arms are labeled by number in order of appearance.
