New Wi-Fi Features
Like the Generation IV games, Black & White include a variety of Wi-Fi features, some old and some new. Outside of the standard battle and trades, this page will detail all the WiFi features of the games.
Global Terminal
The Global Terminal makes a return within Black and White. However, rather than being in an isolated building in one city of Isshu, the Global Terminal is now accessible through an area in the Pokemon Centers everywhere in Isshu. The Global Terminal this time only has 3 features.
* Random Match: The Random Match feature allows for players to battle with random players across the world without the need for friend codes or prior communication.
* GTS: The GTS makes its return here as well. Not much is known about the system as to whether or not it differs from the current GTS.
Global Link
In addition to this, you also have the ability to upload your save file to Nintendo's servers. With this, you can then access a site they'll have and play games on their site which will have effects on your game. One of the new features within Pokemon Black and White is the Pokemon Global Link. This feature allows you to upload your save to the Internet to access a specific website in order to get features and Pokemon in your Black & White games.
Live Caster
You can also activate the Live Caster feature (not for the old DS or DS Lite,but they will only feature voice feature only), which allows you to use the DSi's camera to talk to friends through video feed. Locally, you can talk to up to four people, while over Wi-Fi you can only talk to two. The Live Caster will have a pen and stamp tool so you can play with the pictures while using the video chat. Characters in the game will use the Live Caster feature to talk to you as well.

[edit]Game Sync
To connect to the Global Link site, you need to Sync up with the website over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. This is done through one of two ways. First, you can sync up using the Dream Smoke feature given by the Pokemon Munna and Musharna. In addition to this, you can also then sync up through the C Gear. When you sync up, you send across just one Pokemon to enter the dream world from your Box.
Random Match
In addition to that, once you have signed up on the Pokemon Global Link, you will have the ability to go in for Random Matches within the Pokemon Centers. Here, you can also get ranked based on your performance and your rankings will appear on the Pokemon Global Link website.
Downloadable Content
Finally, access to the Global Link will allow you to get a variety of downloadable content. After being connected to the Global Link, you'll at times be able to download some special backgrounds. Like previous games had backgrounds for your box, Black & White expands upon this to give you downloadable backgrounds for your Pokedex and C Gear. In addition to this, you'll be able to download new songs for the Pokemon Musical.
[edit]Dream World
The Dream World is a new aspect of the games, shown as part of a website called the Pokemon Global Link. The Dream World is accessed by going to the bed in Mokoma's house in Sanyou City. From here, you use the Dream Smoke obtained by Musharna and sync your game up to your Pokemon Global Link account.
There are many different aspects of the Dream World to utilize, with this page detailing them all soon after we get access, including access to Pokemon and items that cannot be naturally found within Isshu.
Pokemon Capture
Within the Dream World, you'll occasionally encounter a variety of Pokemon. These Pokemon are not typically available within the Isshu region and thus are mostly Pokemon that were previously native to Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh. These Pokemon, once you have befriended them, will then be able to be encountered within a specific area of Isshu. In this area, you will be able to capture them with great ease.
Many of the Pokemon within the Dream World will have abilities that the Pokemon you transfer over from Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold & SoulSilver don't normally have, such as Vaporeon with Hydration and Glaceon with Ice Body.

Berry Growing

Items
In addition to Berries, you'll also have the ability to find and collect items through the various games in the Dream World. In addition to that, you'll find some shelves in the Dream World where you can place items to trade with your friends.

House Decoration
The final part of the Dream World is the decoration of your house. This house is on a floating island and you have the ability to decorate it in whatever manner you please using the decorations. In addition to decorating them, you also have the ability to link up your Dream World dwelling with the dwellings of your friends to allow your Pokemon to play with each other. This connection is required to allow your friends access to the items you put on the shelves.
