The Entralink (Japanese: ハイリンク Hilink) is a forest that is located in central Unova in Pokémon Black and White. It can be accessed via the wireless function of the C-Gear.

Features

The Entralink is a place where a player can connect to another player's world via the wireless function of the C-Gear. To enter the Entralink, the player must first be in an open area, a pre-requisite similar to the use of Fly. Upon entering, the player is warped to the front of their Entree, and from there, the player may choose to cross the bridge to enter another player's Entralink, access the Entree Forest, or return to their own world via the orange warp tile at the bottom of the Entralink.

Entree

The Entree is the tree with a blue hexagonal shape on its front, located somewhere in the middle of the Entralink. The Entree stores power-ups known as Pass Powers that provide useful boosts or effects that can be registered to the Tag Log and be shared with people connected wirelessly. These Pass Powers require the use of items called Pass Orbs, and can be found in another player's Entralink, when completing missions, or in the Pokémon Dream World.

When entering the Entralink for the first time, the Entree is a small circular bud which is slightly grayish in color. As the Entree grows, it spirals outwards and its color changes according to the composition of its ★Black and ☆White Levels. Growth of the Entree may only be done by completing missions in other players' worlds.

Pass Powers and Pass Orbs

Pass Orbs are required to utilize Pass Powers. When used via the Tag Log, Pass Powers provide useful boosts or effects that affect all nearby people connected wirelessly. Pass Powers are found on the Entree.

There are a total of 33 Pass Powers and obtaining all of them is a requirement for the player to upgrade his or her Trainer card. This is achieved when both the ★Black and ☆White levels of the player's Entree reaches at least 30.

List of Pass Powers

Pass Powers obtained from the Entree may be registered in the C-Gear and can be shared with other people connected wirelessly using the Tag Log. The effect of these Pass Powers vary from ↑ to ↑↑↑, or ↓ to ↓↓↓ , and lasts only 3 minutes (with the exception of HP and PP Restoring Power which takes place immediately).

Similar Pass Powers with strengths S and MAX may be used on other players when completing missions in their Entralink. The strength of the Pass Power used (S or MAX) depends on the mission and the level of that player's Entree.

Entree Forest

The Entree Forest is used to catch Pokémon that the player has encountered in the Dream World. To catch these Pokémon, the player will be given the Dream Ball, though it is not required to use it. There are two places inside that are known as the Forest Clearing and the Deepest Clearing.

The Forest Clearing is six clearings in the woods, while the Deepest Clearing is a seventh area reached by traveling through the first two northern parts of the Forest Clearing. Pokémon are automatically transferred to the first clearing once materialized from the Dream World. To transfer them to the Deepest Clearing, the player must speak to the Pokémon and refuse to catch it; the option will then appear.

Wireless Play

Players may choose to visit each others' worlds via the Entralink. To do that, one player must be inside the Entralink while another must be located in one of the following locations which form a hexagon surrounding the Entralink:

• Nimbasa City
• Driftveil City
• Mistralton City
• Icirrus City
• Opelucid City
• Lacunosa Town
• Undella Town
• Black City/White Forest
• Marvelous Bridge
• Village Bridge
• Driftveil Drawbridge
• Tubeline Bridge
• Routes 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16

The other player must not be inside a building.

The visiting player would have to stand on the connecting bridges at the sides of the Entralink to make a connection. Once connected, the visiting player would then be able to enter the other player's Entralink by crossing the barrier.

Upon entering, the visiting player would have their overworld sprite changed and appear in a black-and-white version of Unova. Everything is the same as the original, except that the visiting player cannot enter buildings or certain places, and all the routes and towns are connected via warp portals instead of connectors.

The visiting player can also keep track of the other player's location at the bottom screen and warp to the different towns by simply tapping with the stylus. The visiting player may also access the other player's Entree to register available Pass Powers to their own C-Gear, or to begin missions to help the other player.

Up to two players may connect to the same player's world. The third player may also choose to intercept a mission by completing it before the player who initiated it.

Missions

The visiting player may choose to accept missions on another player's Entree. There are 6 different missions available for completion, and these require the two players to interact with each other within a specific time limit (with exception of the Item-hiding missions, which fails when the visiting player is talked to).

Upon the successful completion of a mission, the visiting player would be rewarded with Pass Orbs and the growth of the player's own Entree. The growth of the visiting player's Entree depends on the version of the player he or she visited: if the visiting player completed a mission on a Pokémon Black, the ★Black Level of the visiting player would increase by 1.

Also, completed missions would be indicated on a player's Entree by a black or white marking depending on the version of the visiting player. If the visiting player was playing Pokémon White and completed the top-left mission, the top-left mark of the mission selection screen would 'light up' as White. This has no significance except when a bonus is awarded to the visiting player for completing the last mission: if five missions are 'lit up' as White and the visiting player with Pokémon White completes the last mission, their entree would have a bonus growth of 6 ☆White Levels.

There are 6 different kinds missions for the player to complete. When the visiting player accepts a mission, his or her sprite will change accordingly to the mission. The 6 kinds of missions are:

• Top-left: Help mission. The other player must talk to the visiting player.
• Top-right: Help mission. The visiting player must talk to the other player.
• Mid-left: Battle mission. The visiting player must challenge the other player to a 2-on-2 flat battle.
• Mid-right: Rescue mission. The visiting player helps the other player when battling a wild Pokémon (or when in a battle).
• Bottom-left: Item-hiding mission. The visiting player hides an item somewhere for the other player to find.
• Bottom-right: Item-selling mission. The visiting player must successfully sell an overpriced item to the other player.
