The '''Pokémon Dream World''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンドリームワールド''' ''Pokémon Dream World'') is a special feature of {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{game|Black and White|s|4=2}}. Operated via the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [http://en.pokemon-gl.com/ website], the Dream World allows players to send a Pokémon to the Internet to obtain items and meet other Pokémon, making the website like a [[Generation V]] analog to the [[Pokéwalker]].

According to the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [http://en.pokemon-gl.com/ website], the Dream World closed on January 14, 2014, alongside all other services for Generation V games.


==Access==
==Access==
Players may access the Dream World by creating an account at [[Pokémon.com]] for international players, at the [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] website for Japanese players, or at the Pokémon Korean site for Korean players. To have full access to one's account, players must first send a Pokémon to the Dream World by using their [[C-Gear]]'s only Online feature, Game Sync. After doing so, players will have full access to the Global Link site. An account may only have one Pokémon Black and one Pokémon White game with access to it.
Players were able to access the Dream World by creating an account at [[Pokémon.com]] for international players, at the [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] website for Japanese players, or at the Pokémon Korean site for Korean players. To have full access to one's account, players first had to send a Pokémon to the Dream World by using their [[C-Gear]]'s only Online feature, Game Sync. After doing so, players had full access to the Global Link site. An account could only have one Pokémon Black and one Pokémon White game with access to it.


When doing certain actions for the first time, players are given a tutorial by [[Fennel]]. They may then explore the rest of the Dream World on their own. With the reopening of the Global Link site after the release of international versions of Black and White, players who had Japanese accounts prior to the reopening will be given tutorials once again. Players are also given the tutorial again when using a computer that they have not used for visiting the Dream World before<!--it uses cookies-->.

On the player's first visit to the Dream World, they will receive five of one of the {{cat|damage-reducing Berries}} from Fennel; this is the only way, besides Share Shelves, to obtain these {{Berries}}. Repeating the tutorial does not re-award these Berries.

Due to the number of people accessing the site at one time, players are given only one hour to access the Dream World every {{tt|20 hours|24 hours prior to the July 2012 update}}. However, the website is {{DL|Global Link|Maintenance|occasionally under maintenance}}, prohibiting access.

===Continuing===
If a player accesses the Dream World after the {{tt|20 hours|24 hours prior to the July 2012 update}} waiting period without having woken up their Pokémon, the player can continue exploring the Dream World with the Pokémon from the last visit still at the Tree of Dreams. If a Pokémon was picked from the Tree of Dreams, the player is not allowed to access any of the Island of Dream's areas, as they have a Pokémon still ready to be sent to the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]]; however, the player can still explore their and other player's homes. Whatever water that wasn't used in the watering can for Berries is preserved and is not renewed until a Pokémon is woken up.

Any point accumulation during these continued games counts toward the total of [[#Dream Points|Dream Points]] that would lead to a Pokémon's level-up once awoken via the C-Gear, including the points gained by logging into the Global Link once a day.

Players have a home they can customize in the Dream World, similarly to [[secret base]]s. Players can decorate the three rooms inside the house with [[Décor]], or switch the look of the house.

At the doorstep is the Footprint Mat, which shows the Pokémon that have visited the player's home. When there is a pending Dream Pal request for the player, the Footprint Mat will glow. The footprint mat can be used to accept Dream Pal requests and visit the homes of players who visited the player's home.
