==Facilities==

* The '''Administration Office''' (Japanese: '''かんりしつ''' ''Administration Office''), a small room with three staff members as well as three PCs containing documentation and support articles about the mobile features.

** Access to it is initially blocked off by an old man, who came to see the new machines in {{ci|Goldenrod}}'s Pokémon Center. He claims that the staff is still busy with the preparations; to the player, this means that once the first connection to the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] is successfully made, the old man will leave.

In the Trade Corner, Japanese players can link with other players via {{wp|mobile phone}} to [[trade]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, much like the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] in every game since [[Generation IV]]. If the player gave the {{key|II|Egg Ticket}} (which is 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 give the player an [[Odd Egg]] in exchange, which hatches into a [[Baby Pokémon]] that knows {{m|Dizzy Punch}} and has a 50% chance of being Shiny.

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.

{{incomplete|section|Further research is required on the GS Ball event}}

The most important {{pkmn2|event}} held by the Pokémon Communication Center allowed {{player}}s to obtain a [[GS Ball]] from a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] to summon a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[level]] 30 {{p|Celebi}} to {{pkmn|battle}} at the [[Ilex Forest shrine]], 24 hours after giving it to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] for inspection. The GS Ball was distributed twice in 2001: first from March 29 to May 29 and again from August 1 to 28, wherein players were requested to answer a survey correctly in order to receive the GS Ball.<ref>[http://pf.ksrn.net/game/gold_silver/special_pokemon.html 特殊なポケモン]</ref> The event involved the player obtaining 16 [[Badge]]s, before successfully completing the ''Chieko Dice'' minigame three times in a row and successfully answering the "ten card quiz" via the Pokémon News Machine.<ref>[http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~kakeru/pokemon2/mobile/ モバイルの窓]</ref><ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20020708151316/http://www.geocities.com/meowth346/gs/faq/legendary/faq_Celebi.htm Celebi] (via Internet Archive)</ref>

Two lesser known events also included the distribution of {{DL|Mail|Bluesky Mail}} and {{DL|Mail|Mirage Mail}}, which were already present in the internal data of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Likewise, these events were exclusive to Japan.

The creation of the Pokémon Communication Center and Mobile Center is explained by an administrator at the Administration Office.
