Pokémon Center: Difference between revisions

====Cable Club====

Being the original link-up place, it is located at the far end of the Pokémon Center in [[Generation I]] [[Kanto]]. {{Player|Player}}s can link together to simply {{pkmn|battle}} each other one-on-one and [[trade]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with each other. Two players linked by a [[Game Boy]] [[Game Link Cable]] can enter the Cable Club. {{game|Yellow}} features an extended version of the Cable Club with the option to choose special battle rules or cups.

===Generation II===

{{main|Pokémon Communication Center}}

Exclusively in the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Pokémon Communication Center]], or PokéCom Center, replaces the regular Pokémon Center in [[Goldenrod City]], and takes use of the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. It is in essence a prototype for the [[Global Terminal]], justifying the placement of one in the city on {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Generation III===

====Wireless Club====

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}, the second floor of Pokémon Centers house a Wireless Club. The Wireless Club meets in the [[Union Room]], where up to 40 {{pkmn|Trainer}}s may (in groups of five) [[Easy chat system|talk]] and {{pkmn|battle}}, as well as [[trade]] via a trading board. The Direct Corner's room has the standard Trade Center and Colosseum (as well as the Record Corner in Emerald), with the new [[Berry Crush]] feature.

===Generation IV===

====Wi-Fi Plaza====

The [[Wi-Fi Plaza]] is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Club in {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and is located on the basement floor. {{player|Players}} from around the world can enter a plaza to make [[Poffin]]s and play minigames together via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. The player can walk around the plaza and communicate with other players there. A leap in multiplayer gameplay is introduced, allowing up to twenty players to enter the Wi-Fi Plaza at a time. The player may only spend a certain amount of time at the Wi-Fi Plaza each day.

===Generation V===

As with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the second floor is a {{wp|mezzanine}} above and directly behind the main desk. All multiplayer features found on the second floor of Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation IV]] games, including the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] features present in the basements, can be found here by talking to the attendant to the left and on the center, respectively. The attendant to the right allows {{player}}s to access the [[Global Trade System]] (GTS), as well as all the features from the [[Global Terminal]], such as playback of [[Vs. Recorder|recorded videos]]. The [[Global Battle Union]] (GBU) can also be accessed here, allowing players to {{pkmn|battle}} random players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The [[Global Terminal#Geonet|Geonet]] can also be found on the second floor, allowing players to register their real-world location, as in the [[Generation IV]] games. All Pokémon Centers except the one in the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Unova}} have a second floor.

===Generation VI===

If the player walks into a Pokémon Center on their [[birthday]] (as noted in the 3DS system), the nurse will wish them a happy birthday.

===Generation VII===

In Generation VII, Pokémon Centers consist of one large room. The nurse's counter is in the center of the building. On the right is a [[Poké Mart]] counter, staffed by one or two attendants depending on the Pokémon Center. On the left is the [[Pokémon Center Café]], where players can purchase one of three drinks. Once per day, after buying a drink, the player will receive Poké Beans for use in [[Pokémon Refresh]] and a [[status condition healing item]] from another region, such as Casteliacones and Old Gateaux.
