The Pokémon Dream World (Japanese: ポケモンドリームワールド Pokémon Dream World) is a special feature of Pokémon Black and White. Operated via the Pokémon Global Link website, the Dream World allows players to send a Pokémon to the Internet to obtain items and meet other Pokémon, making the website like a Generation V analog to the Pokéwalker.
Access
Fans may access the Dream World by creating an account at the Pokémon Daisuki Club website, which is available only in Japanese for Japanese players, or Pokemon.com for international players. To have full access to one's account, players must first send a Pokémon to the Dream World by using their C-Gear's only Online feature, Game Sync. After doing so, players may now have full access to the Global Link site. An account may only have one Pokémon Black and one Pokémon White game with access to it.
When doing certain actions for the first time, players are given a tutorial by Fennel. They may then explore the rest of the Dream World on their own. With the reopening of the Global Link site after the release of international versions of Black and White, players who have had Japanese accounts prior to the reopening will be given tutorials once again.
Due to the amount of people accessing the site at one time, players are currently given only one hour to access the Dream World a day. They may enter the Dream World again 24 hours after when they have entered. However, the website may occasionally be under maintenance, prohibiting access.

Features
Home
Players are given a home they can customize in the Dream World. With the use of certain berries, they may purchase Décor to decorate the rooms available in the house. The house itself may be remodeled for a certain amount of berries. Each day, players may also unlock one of up to five special pieces of Décor by talking to a designer named Loblolly in Nacrene City.
Also available in the house is a treasure chest, where players may see the items they have in the Dream World and choose which ones they would like to send back to their games. A Friend Board is also available for players to see which Pokémon they have befriended in the Dream World and which ones are waiting to be sent to their Pokémon Black or White games.
Garden
Unlike past generation games, Black and White do not allow players to plant berries. Instead, players may plant berries in the Dream World in the garden found in the area to the left of their home in the Dream World. Two rows are available from the beginning for players to plant their berries in, with each row allowing players to plant up to three berries. Subsequent rows will be dug by Diglett after players have earned a certain amount of Dream Points.
Berries and other items are found throughout the Dream Island. They may either be sent to the player's games, be traded to Dream World neighbors or be used to buy Décor.
To the right of the player's home is a stand where items may be placed. Items placed here can be taken by neighbors and traded for their items. A player will not be able to trade for an item that they already have, and will not be able to trade back an item they have traded away. Each trade will earn the player 1 Dream Point.
Island of Dreams
While players may access the other features of the Dream World even when they do not have a Pokémon in the Dream World, they may access the Island of Dreams only when they do have a Pokémon in the Dream World. The island has several areas players may explore, find items and befriend Pokémon. More areas are unlocked as players obtain Dream Points. If the player has access to more than one area, they are sent to a random area every time they go to the island. If players obtain the necessary amount of points to unlock an area, they can access the area even without logging out of Dream World or Global Link.
After exploring an area, players will go to the Tree of Dreams, where they may choose to leave a Berry in the tree to choose one of their befriended Pokémon to send to the Entralink. If they do, they may not revisit the Island of Dreams for 24 hours. Only 50 Pokémon may be transferred this way; this limit, however, has been removed from the Japanese version.
Areas
| Area | Unlock Method |
|---|---|
| Pleasant Forest | Default |
| Windswept Sky | 2500 Dream Points* |
| Sparkling Sea | 5000 Dream Points* |
Mini-games
After finding a Pokémon, players are given an option to participate in mini-games in order to befriend them. The type of game depends on the Pokémon species encountered. Getting certain amounts of points in a game allows players to obtain Pokémon with moves not normally obtained by leveling up.
Find the missing (Pokemon)!
- Time limit: one minute, thirty seconds
"(Pokémon)" in the title gets changed depending on the Pokémon to be found. Players must find a certain Pokémon within the time limit by navigating through the map. They may see a bush, cloud, rock, or many other things rustling, or they may click objects themselves. Seeing something rustling or clicking on something may reveal a Pokémon hiding there. However, most often than not, it is not the Pokémon sought after. When encountering the wrong Pokémon, the timer temporarily pauses as to not penalize the player.
Players may click "Listen carefully" to hear if the Pokémon sought after is nearby. Players may also find an item lost by the Pokémon by clicking on some sparkles - an item that will be given to the Pokémon, allowing players to gain bonus points. The Pokémon to be found is always close to the item. The game automatically ends when the Pokémon is found.
Let's play with a Flying Pokémon!
- Time limit: two minutes
Players must guide Pelipper using hand flags—the player's cursor—to finish the race. The space bar, on the other hand, as well as a button on the screen, allows players to pause the game. There are certain things that will help finish the race sooner or even later. Boost Energy, in the form of a symbol with a water drop or a symbol of the Pokémon's type, will earn points. Hitting three will make the Pokémon fly faster. Clouds, however, will slow down the Pokémon. Delay Energy, in the form of a symbol with a lightning bolt or a symbol the Pokémon is weak to, will slow down or stop the Pokémon. This will also make the Pokémon lose the Boost Energy it has earned. The game ends when the Pokémon reaches the goal.
Pile ice cream!
- Time limit: one minute, thirty seconds
Players must choose a berry in their treasure chests to use in the game. The type of ice cream available will depend on the berry. Certain berries will bring ice cream that can be scooped more easily or stickier ice cream; the opposite is also true. Players must stack ice cream scoops on top of each other and at least reach the minimal goal of twenty inches to win the game. The score will be higher if the player balances three kinds of ice cream or if bite-size scoops are made, as well as if their stack is tall.

Play with Wailord.
- Time limit: one minute, thirty seconds
Players must guide Wailord and its spout to make four Pokémon - Pikachu, Meowth, Piplup, and Buizel - launch into the air and hit balls that match the Pokémon to make the balls open. To win, players must open at least fifteen balls. When a ball opens, lamps to the right side of the screen light up, and when five light up, the score multiplier increases. The multiplier goes back to the base value when a Pokémon falls into the water.
Abilities
- For a list of Pokémon and their Hidden Abilities, please see List of Pokémon by ability
Many Pokémon that are found in the Dream Island are not found in the Unova region, and would otherwise have to be migrated from a Generation IV game to be used. Almost all Pokémon are given Hidden Abilities that their species cannot have by normal means. Some Pokémon do not have Hidden Abilities because they are defined by their ability, such as Slaking, Shedinja, Castform, Plusle, Minun, Arceus, and many Pokémon with Levitate; however, they may still be encountered here.
Breeding mechanics
Female Pokémon with Hidden Abilities can pass on the Hidden Ability to their offspring. Breeding with Ditto does not pass on abilities. For example, if a female Darmanitan with Zen Mode bred with a male Simisage, the offspring Darumaka may have Inner Focus instead of the usual Hustle and would evolve into a Darmanitan with Zen Mode, instead of Sheer Force. However, it should be noted that there is also a chance of not passing on the ability.
Neighbors
Players may make neighbors by meeting other players online, after adding Friend Codes, meeting on the GTS, or befriending someone at the Dream Tree. However, the latter two methods depend on options which are currently disabled. Players may go to their neighbors' islands and water their berries or trade items.
Dream Points
Dream Points are earned by doing certain actions in the Dream World. Similar to earning Watts in the Pokéwalker, gaining Dream Points allows players to unlock more areas in the Dream Island. On December 21, 2010, at 11am UTC, all Dream Point requirements were halved permanently.
Waking up
Right before saving the game and finishing a session, players are given the option to make real the Pokémon friends they have met and any items they have collected. These items will become available immediate after waking a Pokémon up using the Game Sync function. Anything materialized from the Dream World into a copy of Pokémon Black or White can be found within the Entralink.
If the player earns 500 points between tucking the Pokémon in and waking it up, the Pokémon's level increases.
Waking up also initiates any Pokémon Black or White customizations made on the Global Link website.
