In that game, it replaces the normal Pokémon Center in [[Goldenrod City]] and houses machines that rely on the now defunct [[Mobile System GB]]. As the [[Mobile Game Boy Adapter]] was never released outside of Japan, the 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. | ||

Once the first successful connection to the Mobile System GB is made and the player has registered themselves in the Mobile Center, it changes to a theme of its own and the services become operational. As the [[Virtual Console]] release cannot connect to the Mobile Game Boy Adapter, the facilities remain unusable even in the Japanese version. | ||

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 [[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}}. | 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]].
