The game also comes with a GameCube-to-Game Boy Advance link cable, which allows Trainers to deposit Pokémon from their GBA game to Box without the need to trade.

Once a Pokémon is in a box, Trainers can examine the stats of their Pokémon and, using the "Go to List" option, open a spreadsheet style graph with numerous categories such as original Trainer, moves, [[Pokémon Contests]] stats, friendliness, and level. This is similar to the List view found in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] when using the box feature found within both of those games.

Players may also display their Pokémon using the "Showcase" option from the main menu in [[Brigette]]'s Room. This feature allows players to create a stage from a combination of ten backgrounds, ten stage patterns, and five types of display pieces. They are also able to choose from one of eight music tracks, all of which have been remixed or ported from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. However, this view is only for show, and does not display any statistics about the Pokémon that are being displayed.
