The '''Entralink''' (Japanese: '''ハイリンク''' ''Hilink'') is a forest that is located in central [[Unova]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. It can be accessed via the wireless function of the [[C-Gear]].
The '''Entralink''' (Japanese: '''ハイリンク''' ''Hilink'') is a forest that is located in central [[Unova]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. It can be accessed via the wireless function of the [[C-Gear]].
==Access==
To enter the Entralink, the player must first be in an open area, which has the same conditions as {{m|Fly}}; however, while it is possible to Fly from {{un|Victory Road}}, it is not possible to warp to the Entralink from there. In addition, several locations which NPCs may occupy—such as in front of [[Icirrus Gym]] and on the tile which walking Trainers appear on upon entering the area—cannot be warped from. Also unlike using Fly, the Entralink cannot be warped to while using {{m|Surf}}.

In Black and White the Entralink is a place where a player can connect to another player's world via the wireless function of the [[C-Gear]]. To enter the Entralink, the player must first be in an open area, which has the same conditions as {{m|Fly}}; however, while it is possible to Fly from {{un|Victory Road}}, it is not possible to warp to the Entralink from there. In addition, several locations which NPCs may occupy—such as in front of [[Icirrus Gym]] and on the tile which walking Trainers appear on upon entering the area—cannot be warped from. Also unlike Fly, the Entralink cannot be warped to while using {{m|Surf}}. Upon entering, the player is warped to the front of their '''Entree''', and from there, the player may choose to cross the bridge to enter another player's Entralink, access the Entree Forest, or return to their own world via the orange warp tile at the bottom of the Entralink.
There are several key features of the Entralink that appear in all Generation V games. The Entree Forest allows players to catch Pokémon met in the {{pkmn|Dream World}}. If there are items from the {{pkmn|Dream World}} waiting to be picked up, a little boy to the left of the Entree Forest's entrance will give the player these "Dream Remnants". The Entree serves as the core of the Entralink and is where the player can accept missions. There is an orange warp tile to the south.


In Black and White 2 the Entralink has changed dramatically. Players can no longer access other players' Entralinks, and the Entralink itself has been redesigned.  
In Black and White, the Entralink is a place where a player can connect to another player's world via the wireless function of the [[C-Gear]].
 
In Black 2 and White 2, the Entralink serves as the hub for Funfest Missions, but no longer allows the visiting of other player's worlds.


===Entree===
===Entree===
The '''Entree''' is the tree with a blue hexagonal shape on its front, located in the middle of the Entralink. The Entree stores power-ups known as '''Pass Powers''' that provide useful boosts or effects that can be registered to the Tag Log and be shared with people connected wirelessly. These Pass Powers require the use of items called '''Pass Orbs''', and can be found in another player's Entralink outside Pokémon Centers or Route Signs, when completing missions, or in the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. In {{game|Black 2 and White 2|s}}, the player can access the Funfest Missions from the Entree.
The Entree is the tree with a blue hexagonal shape on its front, located in the middle of the Entralink. The Entree allows the activation of Pass Powers, which are purchased with Pass Orbs. The Entree is used to accept missions; in Black and White, Entralink Missions can only be accepted at other player's Entrees; in Black 2 and White 2, Funfest Missions are accepted at the Entree and other player's worlds cannot be visited.


When entering the Entralink for the first time, the Entree is a small circular bud which is slightly grayish in color. As the Entree grows, it spirals outwards and its color changes according to the composition of its ★Black and ☆White levels. Growth of the Entree may only be done by completing missions in other players' worlds.  In Black and White 2 the Entree has been redesigned, and now looks like two twist ties which are black and white twisting around each other with tufts of leaves on top.

[[File:Entralink Forest.png|thumb|200px|right|The Entree Forest]]
|gen=V
The Entree Forest is used to catch Pokémon that the {{player}} has encountered in the {{pkmn|Dream World}}. To catch these Pokémon, the player is given the {{ball|Dream}}, though using it is not required. When catching a Pokémon in Entree Forest, all [[Poké Ball]]s will catch the Pokémon without fail. There are two places inside known as the Forest Clearing and the Deepest Clearing.
|bag=Items
 
|sell=100
The Forest Clearing consists of multiple clearings in the woods, while the Deepest Clearing is another area, capable of holding up to 10 Pokémon, reached by traveling through the northern parts of the Forest Clearing. Most Pokémon are automatically transferred to the first clearing once materialized from the Dream World; however, some Pokémon such as {{p|Arceus}} are specifically designed to appear in other clearings. To transfer them to the Deepest Clearing, the player must speak to the Pokémon and refuse to catch it; the option will then appear. Alternatively, if the player's [[party]] and all of their [[Pokémon Storage System|Boxes]] are full, then this option will appear by default. Players begin with 6 sections to their Forest Clearing and one Deepest Clearing; however, if they are all full with 20 Pokémon each, players' forests will grow larger to accommodate more Pokémon.

====Pass Power====
===Pass Powers===
Pass Orbs are required to utilize '''Pass Powers'''. When used via the Tag Log, Pass Powers provide useful boosts or effects that affect all nearby people connected wirelessly. Pass Powers are mysterious powers granted by the Entree.
Pass Powers are special temporary or one-time bonuses that are purchased using Pass Orbs. When used via the Tag Log, Pass Powers provide useful boosts or effects that affect all nearby people connected wirelessly. Pass Powers are mysterious powers granted by the Entree.


There are a total of 33 Pass Powers and obtaining all of them is a requirement for the player to upgrade his or her {{ga|Trainer Card}}. This is achieved when both the ★Black and ☆White levels of the player's Entree reaches at least 30.

Pass Powers obtained from the Entree can be registered in the [[C-Gear]] and shared with other people connected wirelessly using the Tag Log. The effect of these Pass Powers varies from ↑ to ↑↑↑, or ↓ to ↓↓↓ , and lasts only 3 minutes (with the exception of HP and PP Restoring Power, which take effect immediately).

Similar Pass Powers with strengths S and MAX may be used on other players when completing missions in their Entralink. The strength of the Pass Power used (S or MAX) depends on the mission and the level of that player's Entree. Powers with strength S and MAX act identically to their ↑↑↑ counterparts, but for a longer period of time (30 minutes for S, 60 minutes for MAX, with the exception of Full Recovery Power). <!--Bargain Powers reduce the price of everything able to be bought except Vending Machines and MooMoo Milk.-->

===Missions===
The visiting player may choose to accept missions on another player's Entree. There are 6 different missions available for completion, and these require the two players to interact with each other within a specific time limit (with exception of the Item-hiding missions, which fails when the visiting player is talked to).

Upon the successful completion of a mission, the visiting player would be rewarded with Pass Orbs and the growth of the player's own Entree. The growth of the visiting player's Entree depends on the version of the player he or she visited: if the visiting player completed a mission on Pokémon Black, the ★Black level of the visiting player would increase by 1.
