Pokémon Dream World: Difference between revisions

The '''Pokémon Dream World''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンドリームワールド''' ''Pokémon Dream World'') was a browser-based massively single-player online game that connected to {{game|Black and White|s}} and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]. Operated via the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website, the Dream World allowed 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]].

 

The Dream World was shut down on January 14, 2014, alongside all other services for Generation V games.

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 were given a tutorial by [[Fennel]]. They were then able to 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 were given tutorials once again. Players were 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 received 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 did not re-award these Berries.

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

If a player accessed 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 could 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 was not allowed to access any of the Island of Dream's areas, as they had a Pokémon still ready to be sent to the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]]; however, the player could still explore their and other player's homes. Whatever water that wasn't used in the watering can for Berries was preserved and was not renewed until a Pokémon was woken up.

Any point accumulation during these continued games counted 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.

In the Dream World, players have a garden in the area to the left of their home in which they can grow Berries. Due to the lack of [[soft soil]] in [[Unova]], this is the only way to grow Berries in the [[Generation V]] games. Berries take 50% longer to grow in the Dream World compared to their growth rates in [[Generation IV]]. Additionally, Berries remain in the fruit-bearing stage until picked; they never fall off and resprout. The number of Berries yielded depends on the condition of the soil when fully grown.

A Berry cannot be watered as soon as it is planted; it must dry out first before it can be watered. A Berry plant also cannot be watered when it is fully grown. Since the April 2011 update, players can water others' Berries up to 20 times per dream; prior to this update, there was no limit. There is no limit on watering the player's own Berries.

Two rows are available from the beginning for players to plant their Berries in, with each row containing spaces for three Berries. {{p|Diglett}} will dig additional rows when the player obtains a certain number of Dream Points. Players could have up to a maximum of ten rows.

Similar to {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Victini}} in {{game|Black and White|s}}, all Pokémon found in the Dream World cannot be {{Shiny}}. A Pokémon found in the Dream World will always have its [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability]], {{cat|Pokémon without Hidden Abilities|if it has one in Generation V}}. Pokémon found in the Dream World have about a 25% chance of being female regardless of gender distribution, unless the Pokémon can be of only one gender. All Pokémon obtained in the Dream World will be at level 10, unless they evolve at a level above 10, in which case they will be at that level; certain [[legendary Pokémon]] will also be at levels above 10.

* On October 30, 2012, Japanese players gained the ability to choose a Pokémon doll that they have purchased as their PGL avatar.

* A scientist working for the [[Devon Corporation]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} mentions that he is trying to create a device that visually reproduces the dreams of Pokémon, but that he is not succeeding. Likewise, in the [[Pokémon anime]], the Devon Corporation is trying to construct a Dream Visualiser (evident in the episode ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'').

** In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he says that [[Fennel|a scientist]] from a [[Unova|faraway region]] beat him in building it.

* The art style used for the Pokémon Dream World is not exclusive to the site; it has been used in various other parts of the franchise, including {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} stores and [[Pokémon Channel]], before the Dream World even emerged. This artwork continues to be used throughout the [[Pokémon Global Link]] website.

* If the player does not have a [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 or Pokémon White 2]] game card currently in use on their account, when their page is loading, the player can see a glimpse of the [[List of Medals in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Medal]] status screen; this was possible even before Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 were released outside of Japan.
