Update News
Pokemon Global Relaunches with a fresh new look and cool new features
BELLEVUE, WA-June 25th, in the year of our Lord 2012
- The Pokémon Company International relaunched the Pokémon
Global Link website, delivering a fresh look and exciting new
features for Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version
video game players to explore this summer. The updated website
includes new player data in its Reports and My Page sections,
plus a brand-new area to visit in the Pokémon Dream World. The
Global Trade Station has also launched at the site, allowing
players to observe Pokémon trades happening around the world.
On the Pokémon Global Link's new Reports page, players can view
and analyze previously unavailable Global Battle Union and Wi-Fi
Competition information such as the most popular Pokémon used by
top players. The Reports page will also track Ratings and
Rankings for players all over the world who battle via Nintendo
Wi-Fi Connection. And, in the page's Game Sync World Records
section, players can view how countries around the world rank in
different game stats, including top cycling locations, top
healing locations, top battling locations, and more. The new My
Page section will make it easier to track your own game's
progress and statistics, including personal reports like Global
Battle Union results, Global Trade Station trades, and more.
A brand-new area in the Pokémon Dream World has also arrived.
Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version video game
players can now tuck in their favorite Pokémon and explore the
new Icy Cave area. In the Icy Cave, players can meet Ice-type
Pokémon such as Sneasel, Spheal, and Swinub, and bring them back
into their copy of Pokémon Black Version or Pokémon White
Version. Also new to the Pokémon Dream World, players have more
control over which Island of Dreams area they visit, based on
the type of Pokémon they have tucked in. For instance, players
can give themselves a better chance at arriving in the new Icy
Cave area by tucking in an Ice-type Pokémon.
When the Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2
video games launch this fall, only players of the new titles
will be able to meet Unova region Pokémon in the Pokémon Dream
World and bring them back into their copy of the game. More
Pokémon Global Link features for the Pokémon Black Version 2 and
Pokémon White Version 2 games will be announced later this year.
To celebrate the relaunch of the Pokémon Global Link, Pokémon
Black Version and Pokémon White Version players can receive a
Porygon for their game and other special Porygon-themed items
via the Pokémon Global Link beginning July 12th! Specific
details on how to participate will be announced on

when this special promotion kicks off.

Version video game with its Game Sync ID registered at the
