The C-Gear is an electronic device introduced in Pokémon Black and White used for various purposes. It is obtained in Sanyou City after assisting Makomo.
While enabled, it maintains a list of players which are encountered using the DS's wireless capabilities, and various surveys can be conducted, which can lead to rewards at Hiun City.
Wireless
High Link
The C-Gear can be used to warp the player to the High Link, an area in the center of Unova, from most outdoor locations. Once there, the High Link Forest can be entered to befriend Pokémon from the Pokémon Dream World. Shining Powers can be activate at the Entrance Tree by using Shining Spheres, and players can venture into other nearby players' Unova regions, where the player is shown using their multiplayer avatar in a monochrome version of Unova. In another player's Unova, using the lower screen teleportation to any city or town in the inner hexagon of Unova is possible, and the visitor will receive missions, which reward the player with Shining Spheres. Although Shining Spheres are available in the Dream World or via trading, the player must visit another player's Unova before the Entrance Tree is usable.
Live Caster
The Live Caster can be used to communicate with other players nearby using wireless, where up to 4 players can talk to each other using a radio-like system, and if they have DSi or DSi XL and camera function is not disabled, see each other. The Live Caster can also be used over the internet by selecting it at the Global Terminal in Pokémon Centers.
Wi-Fi
Game Sync
The C-Gear can be used to synchronize the save file of the game card to the Pokémon Global Link site, which provides access to the Dream World, in a procedure called the Game Sync. The player will be asked to select a Pokémon from their storage to put to sleep, which will then appear in the Global Link. A Pokémon may only be put to sleep once a day, however, changing the DS clock or using the game in another DS will result in needing to wait 24 hours before a Pokémon can be put to sleep again.
Infrared
Using a mixture of Infrared and wireless, trades, battles, Feeling Checks and swapping of Friend Codes are possible using the C-Gear. Battles use the player's current party. In a Feeling Check, players are shown how compatible they are. They also each receive an item.
Customization
The C-Gear may be customized in a number of ways. By touching the C-Gear logo on the top of the screen, the style of the icons can be changed. The arrangement of the icons may also be changed by touching the wrench icon, then spaces on the screen to change the function of the icon.
Wallpapers can be downloaded from the Global Link to further customize the C-Gear. Among these are themes featuring Pikachu, Chillarmy, Munna and Choroneko.
