In a surprise move, Nintendo launched the Global Link a day early. Go forth and use it!

is it super effective?

says im outta energy and i haven't even used it yet.... great

I really wish my DS could connect me to the internets. :(

Still not available in Canada. 

I'm having problems with it registering my Mareep that I put to dream. Eh, I'll just give it time.

I just caught a lickitung! Woo.

OK, registered. I don't really understand how this Dream World thing works, but then again I haven't paid much attention to it yet. I've barely played Pokémon White since I got it some weeks ago due to, well, we're nearing the end of the academic year at the university, you know how it goes...

So...what is that point of this?

Check out the GBU if you aren't interesting in the dream world stuff. Could be very cool.

You can capture legendary pokemon in the dream world, like the 3 legendary from Diamond/Pearl/Platinum.

It's basically the same as the Pokewalker that came with Heart Gold/Soul Silver.  It lets you upload a Pokemon from your game to play minigames with and earn points to unlock new Pokemon to capture with special abilities.

It's pretty cool but really should've launched when Black & White did.

I will have to check this out. I have not played any Pokemon in weeks.

Is anyone able to enter the dream world yet? Mine still won't let me in.

It's cool, but they've left it too late

Jeez... i just set this thing up. You literally get 3 separate user names. I'm getting flashbacks to Konami ID, back when the MGO beta launched.

As for what PGL actually does: I still haven't figured it out, really. There's so many online aspects in this game.

Sigh gotta wait until tomorrow. Oh well. Also I found something on the website. In the lower right corner there is a DS button that says customize. I clicked on it and it looks like you can change your pokedex skins and all that fun stuff back to your catridge. Here's a link from the Global Link website for a more in depth look at that.

Seems kinda cool so far, just wish I could make my goddamn pokemon go to sleep.

Worked fine yesterday. Today it's telling me the Game Sync has run out of energy.

I preferred the pokewalker.

Like, a bajillion times more.

Uhh... guys? Am i understanding this right: Since Dream World is on a 24 hour cycle, and you can only take one Pokemon from the forest each time, does that mean that i can not get more than a single Pokemon per day out of this?

Because i need maximum Pokemon.

Hmm, OK.

Duders: How long does it take until good Pokemon start showing up in the dream world forest? I read that some are even exclusive to dream world, eg. Pikachu. Do i just have to keep playing?

@WinterSnowblind:

Thanks, didn't know about the points.

I checked Serebii, and it does indeed seem like i would have to spend an inappropriate amount of time on dream world to unlock more stuff. And none of the Pokemons there really interest me, except Psyduck maybe. I'm starting to think i might be done with that feature.
