Belle & Pa first appeared in Knowledge of the Unown I, where they were shown working at the Pokémon News Press, with Pa being the editor-in-chief. Pa took a picture of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum while trying to photograph a pair of Unown that were hovering over their heads to make a scoop of the discovery of a "previously undiscovered" species, but was dismayed to find out it was far from undiscovered when Platinum listed various details about it.

In Knowledge of the Unown II, Belle & Pa printed a comic starring the comedy duo Diamond and Pearl, much to Pearl's annoyance.

Belle & Pa made a cameo in Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia V, having been transported to Iron Island by the distortions in space and time caused by Dialga and Palkia's battle at the Spear Pillar.
