Pal Pad
The Pal Pad (Japanese: ともだちてちょう Friend Notebook) is a key item in Generation IV that allows players to register friends, who the player can then meet in the Wi-Fi Club to battle and trade Pokémon. The player can get the Pal Pad from Teala at the Wi-Fi Club in the basement of any Pokémon Center, after obtaining the Coal Badge in Pokémon Platinum, or the Zephyr Badge in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Each game has a unique Friend Code, which can be exchanged with others to meet in the Wi-Fi Club. In order for a player to connect with a friend online, they must each register the other in their own Pal Pad. Registering a friend requires knowing their name and Friend Code; however, the name entered does not need to match the friend's actual player character's name. Friends can be registered manually by entering their Friend Codes into the Pal Pad, or automatically by exchanging Friend Codes with other players in the Union Room.
Besides registering friends, the Pal Pad can be used to list registered friends and discover the player's own Friend Code. The player's Friend Code is obtained when signing onto the Wi-Fi club for the first time.
On the Pal Pad you can also see how many times you have traded, or how many times you won/lost against a person in a Wi-Fi battle.
