As the [[Mobile Adapter GB]] was never released outside of Japan, the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] features were disabled, and the Pokémon Communication Center was reverted to the regular [[Pokémon Center]] for the international releases of {{game|Crystal}}. Nonetheless, all the features are still present in the internal data of the localizations; in the English version, the Pokémon Communication Center is often referred to as simply '''<sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>Com Center</sc>'''. | |||
Initially, the background music played inside the Pokémon Communication Center is [[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|''Pokémon Center'']] and the facilities are inaccessible and unusable. Once the first successful connection to the Pokémon Mobile System GB is made, it changes to a theme of its own and the services become operational. | Initially, the background music played inside the Pokémon Communication Center is [[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|''Pokémon Center'']] and the facilities are inaccessible and unusable.

If the player brought the {{key|II|Egg Ticket}} received from the [[Day-Care Couple|Day-Care Man]] at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}} to the [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] in the Trade Corner, she would exchange it for an {{pkmn|Egg#Odd Egg|Odd Egg}}, which carried a rare {{Shiny}} [[Baby Pokémon]] knowing {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. | ||
The Pokémon News Machine was a service which was updated monthly that would broadcast news and compile the data of other players across Japan. Beyond broadcasting news, the Pokémon News Machine also served as an interface in which the player could play minigames and participate in quizzes. | The Pokémon News Machine was a service which was updated monthly that would broadcast news and compile the data of other players across Japan.
