 [[File:Connecting to WFC.png|frame|Connecting to Wi-Fi in {{v2|Platinum}}]]
-The first [[Pokémon games]] to utilize the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection were {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, with {{v2|Platinum}} following soon after. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection allows players to connect with the games of other players all over the world. Using it, players can battle and trade with others. Certain event key items such as [[Secret Key]] and [[Member Card]] are or have been distributed through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for players of Platinum for a limited time, though these times are usually different for Japanese versions than that of American and PAL versions. Pokémon can also be distributed, though the first Pokémon distribution outside of Japan was in March 2010, quite late in the [[Generation IV]] release cycle. All others before that were only for the Japanese game versions.
