The Entralink

The Entralink is a new feature within Pokémon Black & White which allows you to connect to your friends and walk around the various parts of Unova. This feature is done over local wireless. This mode is not connectable via the Pokémon Centres but by tapping Entralink in the Wireless option of the C Gear. Here, when you're hosting the Entralink, everything looks normal. However, when you're the one joining somebody else's Entralink, you enter a version of Unova that is in monochrome and appear as the multiplayer avatar of your game character.

In the Entralink, you can walk around most areas and find your friend. You also get to find numerous support missions for you to complete to get prizes. To get to the areas, you need one player to be in the EntraLink while the other in one of the areas in the north of Unova. Once a connection is made, the player in the EntraLink can then go to the Entree of the other player. here, they will find the six missions currently being given via the Entree as well as the Pass Powers.

As you complete missions, you will level up in the Black or White part of the Entree by one level per mission with the stat levelling up dependant on the game version you are visitng. When you complete the six missions being given by the Entree, you will get a six level increase in the stat matching your game. As you level up, the Entree gets bigger and bigger and you get access to more Pass Powers.

In addition to the missions, you can meet a variety of characters in your friends areas, most notably in Black City & White Forest where, when you talk to them, those characters shall start coming to your city or forest.

Entralink Forest

In the Entralink area, to the north is a forest. In this forest, you will find three different, seemingly empty areas. In these areas, you will later find any and all Pokémon who have decided to join you from the Dream World. If you interact with them, you can challenge them and capture them. This is done with the special Dream Balls which appear in your bag. They guarantee capture.
