Pokemon Global Link redesigned

General News — 20 June, 2012

In preparation for the release of Pokemon Black & White 2 in Japan this Saturday, the Global Link has been redesigned. It now features a real satellite photo of Earth instead of the graphic previously. Circular icons at the top provide quick access to information about the Pokemon you have tucked in, Wi-fi competitions and promotions.

The new Global Link layout

A new reports section lists various facts like the most traded Pokemon and stats about Pokemon in each country. There are also many new items in the Dream Catalogue, including a Hidden Forest Home and Resort House.

A new area called Icy Cave is planned but not released yet.
