You have a different friend code for every game that has the option.

Depending on the game you'll generally be able to get your friend code from the menu of the game..usually in the "WiFi", "Options" or "Settings" sections.

Hope that helps.

a detailed explanation from: en.wikipedia.org/

"Friend codes" are generated from an identifier unique to a copy of a game and the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ID of a DS or Wii system. Using a different copy of a game, or loading the same copy in a different system, generates a different Friend code. In order for users to become "Friends", they must mutually add Friend codes, often obtained through online forums or chatrooms, and will be authenticated as Friends once both have gone online. These measures (mutual Friend code exchange, per-game Friend codes, and the pairing of the Friend code and system) are said by Nintendo to be conscious steps to preserve users' privacy. If a DS or Wii game is sold, but not the system, there is no risk of the purchaser impersonating the seller.

Features enabled by becoming "Friends" can range from simply seeking each other out for online play (Mario Kart DS, Tetris DS), to voice and text chat (Metroid Prime Hunters,Custom Robo Arena,Pokemon Diamond/Pearl). Unusually, most of the online features in Animal Crossing: Wild World are disabled unless users are Friends, with some exceptions, primarily due to the potential for vandalism of another user's personalized "Town" in the game.

for pokemon, check your 'palpad'
Mario Kart: Menu > Nintendo WFC > Friend Code > Register Friend code to registrer someone elses or Confirm Friend Code to check yours.

NOTE: in order to find out your fc for the first time, all you need to do is connect to wifi once on the chosen game...
Hope i helped

a friend code is the code in which you give out so you can battle/trade/etc... in a game with nintindo wi-fi connection. you get it by 1. get a wireless router or a usb connector. 2. go to your game menu and select nintindo wi-fi connection. 3. select wi-fi settings and make a connection. then to get your friend code select friend code. if your wi-fi settings have worked, then you shall recieve a friend code. glad i could help
