The C-Gear (Japanese: Cギア C-Gear) is a watch introduced in Pokémon Black and White used for various purposes. It is obtained in Striaton City after assisting Fennel. It is the successor to the Pokégear in Johto, the PokéNav in Hoenn, and the Pokétch in Sinnoh. 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 Castelia City.
Wireless
Entralink
- Main article: Entralink
The C-Gear can be used to warp the player to the Entralink, an area in the center of Unova. In order to access the Entralink, however, the player must be standing outdoors, preferably closer to the Entralink and more than one step away from the entrance to a building. Pokémon befriended in the Pokémon Dream World can be caught here, and players may perform missions in others' games, similar to The Underground. Once missions in others' games have been completed, the player may receive special powers called Pass Powers which affect several areas of their game.
Xtransceiver
- Main article: Xtransceiver
The Xtransceiver 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 a Nintendo DSi or DSi XL and camera function is not disabled, see each other. The Xtransceiver can also be used over Wi-Fi 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, and changing the DS clock or using the game in another DS will still 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, Minccino and Munna.
