The Global Terminal makes a return within Black & White. However, rather than being in an isolated building in one city of Unova, the Global Terminal is now accessible through an area in the Pokémon Centres everywhere in Unova. The Global Terminal this time only has 2 features.

• Random Match: The Random Match feature allows for players to battle with random players across the world without the need for friend codes or prior communication. This is then linked up with the Pokémon Global Link when you next Game Sync and rankings based on your performance are listed
• GTS: The GTS makes its return here as well.In many ways, it runs similar to the GTS in the past games, with you entering Pokémon in and putting a wanted Pokémon. However, there is an added feature to the GTS.
• GTS Negotiation: The GTS Negotiation feature essentially puts you in a live trade with a random person in the world. Here, like the normal trades, both you and your opponent can select up to three Pokémon, as does the person you're trading with. Both parties have the ability to express their approval or denial of the choices through the use of various emoticons Then, you can select the Pokémon you wish to have from your opponent's side, they'll select one from yours and if you both agree on the trade, the trade will take place. You can back out at any time

• Musical Photo: Like the appeal in the Super Contests in Sinnoh, with the Pokémon Musical, you have the ability to take an image of your Pokémon during it. Here, you have the ability to share the photos you have as well as look for other photos
• Battle Video: With the VS Recorder, you have the ability to save a recording of battles in the Battle Subway or over wireless & WiFi. Over the Global Terminal, you have the ability to upload your video for others to access through the unique code saved with the video, or to search for other videos

In addition to this, you also have the ability to upload your save file to Nintendo's servers. With this, you can then access a site they'll have and play games on their site which will have effects on your game. >One of the new features within Pokémon Black & White is the Pokémon Global Link. This feature allows you to upload your save to the Internet to access a specific website in order to get features and Pokémon in your Black & White games. This is hooked up by using the WiFi option on the C Gear which will allow you to sync the game up with the Global Link website. With this, you can send Pokémon to the Dream World, receive Pokémon and items from the Dream World, send your Random Match statistics and receive new skins for your Pokédex and C Gear.

You can also activate the Xtransceiver feature. Similar to how Diamond & Pearl brought Voice Chat, here you can have video chat with another friend over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. With this, as well as video chatting, you can also doodle and use stamps on the image of your friends.

When you enter WiFi battles, you have the options of two sets of rules, either No Restrictions where anything goes, or Flat Rules. The Flat Rules are a set list of rules that the WiFi battles abide by. First, you will have to choose a battle type and in the Flat Rules, you are limited in the Pokémon you have to bring. This is dictated by the battle kind

You also have the choice of having the Wonder Launcher on or off. In the Flat Rules, there are other limits that you must abide by;
Pokémon Level: All Pokémon above the level of 50 are reduced to 50 for the battle. Any Pokémon under Level 50 keep their level
Same Pokémon: You cannot have more than one Pokémon of the same species. This includes alternate forms such as with Wormadam and Rotom.
Same Items: You cannot have two of the same item being held by Pokémon within your team
Special Pokémon: The following Pokémon are not allowed to be used
