The first details to do with changes to the Pokémon Global Link once Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2 have been released in Japan have been revealed today, and a few details may surprise you somewhat. Read on to find out more!

The biggest changes will be made to the Dream World where it has been confirmed the feature will include new Pokémon to be caught and new areas to explore, which likely means new mini-games as well. Remember that annoying 24 hour wait you had before you could use the Dream World again? Well, it has been confirmed that has now been cut down to 20 hours.

As well as changes to the Dream World, it has been confirmed the Global Link will include the Global Trade Station feature which has been hinted towards since the release of the Global Link back when Pokémon Black and Pokémon White were first released. The new feature will allow gamers to check the history of their trades as well as a number of other statistics.

Finally it has been confirmed that the C-Gear will be included in Pokémon Black 2 and Pokémon White 2, but will have had a slight makeover since we last saw it. A special promotion has also been announced for gamers who register a copy of Pokémon White or Pokémon Black, and a copy of either Pokémon Black 2 or Pokémon White 2. Details on just what gamers will gain from the promotion in doing this are yet to be given.

To make way for the new changes the Japanese Global Link will be offline from the 11th of June until the 21st.
