The '''Pokémon Network Center'''<ref>Instruction manual, page 50 (UK edition)</ref> (Japanese: '''ポケモンネットワークセンター''' ''Pokémon Network Center''), or '''Pokémon Net Center'''<ref>In-game name; theme title in the English soundtrack release</ref> for short, is a building in the town of {{OBP|One Island|town}}, and is only accessible in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

The symbol seen on the front of the building later reappears on the [[Global Terminal#In Diamond and Pearl|Global Trade Station]]{{sup/4|DP}} and [[Global Terminal]]{{sup/4|PtHGSS}}, possibly indicating some sort of connection.

==Network Machine==
[[File:Island1 Network Machine.png|thumb|right|The Network Machine]]
In addition to the standard features of a [[Pokémon Center]], it contains the Network Machine, run by [[Celio]], a good friend of [[Bill]]. It connects [[Kanto]]'s, [[Hoenn]]'s, and [[Orre]]'s [[Pokémon Storage System]]s, effectively allowing {{player}}s to link with {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, {{g|Colosseum}}, and {{Pokémon XD}}.

When it is first seen, it is not yet active, but after the player retrieves the {{i|Ruby}} and {{i|Sapphire}} from [[Mt. Ember]] and [[Rocket Warehouse]], respectively, it begins to function. However, players must enter the [[Hall of Fame]] and obtain both the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[Rainbow Pass]].

Its design is based on the Pokémon News Machine of the [[Pokémon Communication Center]].

===States===
Three levels of communication are shown on the machine's display. The level shown depends on the progress of the {{player}}.

The first level is shown as soon as the player arrives at {{OBP|One Island|town}} for the first time, when [[Bill]] guides them to the Pokémon Network Center in order to meet his friend [[Celio]].

The second level is shown once Bill has helped Celio in One Island and grants access to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] as well as allowing communication with [[Kanto]]. More precisely, it is shown once the player has rescued [[Lostelle]] from the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Hypno}} at [[Berry Forest]] on [[Three Island]]. When reached, the red, green and blue lights on the front of the machine will flash on and off.

The third level is displayed once the {{i|Ruby}} and {{i|Sapphire}} have been retrieved. The machine is now fully operational and is able to communicate with [[Hoenn]] and [[Orre]] in addition to Kanto.

==Inspiration==
[[File:Pokémon Net Center inside FRLG.png|thumb|Inside the center]]
The Pokémon Network Center is based on the [[Pokémon Communication Center]] of the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}. Both facilities are expansions of regular [[Pokémon Center]]s which house similarly designed machines that extend communication functionality of their respective games; whereas the Pokémon Communication Center's Pokémon News Machine served as a rudimentary leaderboard for {{player}}s, the Pokémon Network Center's Network Machine instead allows players to link with {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, {{g|Colosseum}}, and {{Pokémon XD}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
The Pokémon Network Center first appeared in ''[[PS270|Now You See Me...]]'', where [[Celio]] contacted {{adv|Bill}} about how he was having communication issues with the [[Pokémon Storage System]] to the degree that he couldn't even connect to the other [[Sevii Islands]] anymore. In ''[[PS271|...Now You Don't]]'', after [[Green's parents]] had been kidnapped by {{adv|Deoxys|an invisible Pokémon}} aboard the [[Seagallop]], {{adv|Green}} was brought to the Network Center to recover from the shock she had experienced upon seeing her mother and father disapper before her eyes.

In ''[[PS279|Don't Doubt Deoxys]]'', Celio figured out that the reason for the Pokémon Storage System malfunctioning was because of [[Team Rocket]] disturbing the signal with electromagnetic waves. Simultaneously, a mob was trying to storm the Network Center, as Team Rocket was attacking the Sevii Islands to capture of the [[Pallet Town]] [[Pokédex holder]]s, and the mob wanted to hand Green over to them to make the attack stop. Fortunately, Green was able to slip out through a back door and escape to the harbor, where she boarded the Seagallop and left to join {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}.
