I doubt the links work. I'm using an iPod to do this, sadly. A good Google search will tell you what you want to know, though, right?

How to access Dream World:

https://www.pokemon.com/us/account/pgl/signup/
Once you get an account, start up your game and get on your character
Press the "Internet" button on the bottom screen, Press the giant "Game Sync" Button. Let the game save and connect to the Nintendo Wi-fi
Tuck in a pokemon of your choosing (for those with B2/W2, the pokemon type will influence aspects of the Dream World)
After you pokemon has been tucked in, log in at the http://pokemon-gl.com and select "Pokemon Dream World"
BIG NOTE!: You can only play for an hour per game (so if you have White and White2, you can play on the White card and then play the White 2 card). You can, however, delay being thrown out immediately by selecting "continue playing" on the bottom of the menu. Use this if you're finishing up Island of Dreams, the mini game section, to get a pokemon you find, along with other loose ends.

Once inside Dream World

This is where you'll be growing berries, building a dream house and [censored]. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Dream_World has a pretty good guide on it.
You can become Dream Pals with those you trade with, or just randomly finding people in Dream World. This is mostly so that you can help your friends by watering the garden, and get them to go to your Join Avenue.
You can get pokemon here and bring them into your game by going to "The Island of Dreams." The pokemon you tucked in WILL influence the mini-game area you go to in order to gain points and get Dream World pokemon (B2/W2 only). Most areas will be locked, and remain that way till you get a certain amount of points. The Bulbapedia link above will give you the specific. To capture dream pokemon, go to the "Island of Dreams" play all the minigames and so on. In addition, pokemon you play minigames with will be transferable, but if you don't play the minigame, you cannot. When you feel finished, make a wish at the tree at the very end of the Island of Dreams by sacrificing 1 berry. Once you have done this, all you need to do is hit the power button on the top right screen, and select the "prepare to wake up and leave DW."
To send items you find in dream world, access your treasure box inside your home, and press "send" on the items you want to send.

How to acquire Dream World items and Pokemon

After you're done with Dream World on your computer, go back to your game, and repeat steps 1-4 on the "How to access Dream World" guide. This will wake your pokemon up, put it back in its box, and materialize items and pokemon you got from Dream World
Get back to the game and press "Wireless" on the bottom screen
Press "Entralink" and you'll warp to the Entralink
Go north in the area. You'll see a girl in a white dress next to a forest entrance, and a boy (if you received items from Dream World). Enter the forest and you'll see pokemon you received from Dream World. Interact with it and it'll "Battle" with you. You'll notice you have no pokemon or anything, just a bag and the option to run away. Press "Bag" and select "Dream Ball." You will instantly capture the pokemon, and it'll be sent to your box. Dream world pokemon have different abilities than in-game pokemon, and these abilities have a 40% chance to transfer to offspring, only if the pokemon is female.

So, discussing what our favourite gen is. A lot of people's favourites were based on nostalgia, really.

How would the results be different if we based the favourite gen on how cool the Pokémon were in it. Like, introduced in it.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 1:07 pm

None of those make the games buggy is what I was getting at. I actually had more game corruption issues with G/S/C than I did with R/B/Y

I have to strongly disagree. Reading the comments it seems to be more related to innovation of newly introduced features and game mechanics rather than nostalgia factors. Gen II was undeniably the game that introduced more features than any other game, many of which weren't seen again until Gen IV.

Game mechanics has a much bigger impact to me than the pokemone in it, plus that's a hard thing to calculate. Do you use a point scale where cool new pokemon get a plus value and stupid new pokemon get a negative value?

For example, Gen III introduced many pokemon I really like, but it also introduced a ton of pokemon I absolutely hate.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 6:52 pm

Gen V, Gen II, Gen I, Gen III, and Gen IV

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 4:22 pm

Hey...could at least have copied my original menu, so that way we have references and people's codes.

EDIT: Okay, fixed it up. Message me for the stuff

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 3:34 pm

I should add that if you don't keep doing minigames in the dream world, you won't be able to see any pokemon.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 8:54 pm

Thanks, added that in. Just need message the TheLexicon, and hopefully it'll be added to his original message.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 6:27 pm

Right. Derps. :bonk:

I'll get onto it.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 4:43 am

I guess I should clarify, by Gen. 1 I mean Gen. 1 pokemon. I only played Leaf Green/Fire Red, and not Red/Blue.

My choice actually was based on Pokemon, not gameplay. I absolutely love Generation 1 Pokemon. IMO they are the best.

I'm nostalgic, I know.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 11:23 am

As far as the actual Pokemon, I like Gen 3 the best. But as for the games I like Gen 4 the best.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 10:46 am

Yeah, the Gen I Pokémon were probably the best. The following Pokémon then became more and more like Gen I clones, until Gen V happened. To me, more than half the Pokémon introduced in that generation are complete imitations of the original 151.

But that's just my opinion. Nobody has to take it seriously.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 5:43 am

Yeah there's quite a few gen 5 Pokemon that are similar to gen 1.

Klink > Magnemite

Trubbish > Grimer

Woobat > Zubat

Roggenrola > Geodude

Throh/Sawk > Hitmonlee/Hitmonchan

Bouffalant >Tauros

I know there's more, I just can't think of them at the moment.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 12:03 pm

Patrat and Pidove are basically Rattatta and Pidgey.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 7:48 pm

Even though I prefer Gen. II like I said in the previous thread, Gen. IV does have one of my favorite themes. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBkHuCAci1o)

I almost forgot to battle because I kept listening to that.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 2:59 pm

Purrloin > Meowth
Audino > Chansey
Sewaddle > Caterpie
Solosis > Abra
Litwick > Ghastly
And obviously the fossil Pokemon and the legendary trio Pokemon.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 4:47 pm

Solosis is definitely not Abra. The two are practically opposites, save for the high Sp.A, though Renuculus can actually take a hit though slow, unlike Alakazam, which dies like a [censored] but is fast.

Also, Abra runs away, while Solosis fights like a man!

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 8:41 am

Probably not. Huh. I was thinking of Pokémon that require trading to evolve into a third stage, but the Solosis family doesn't do that, do they?

What am I thinking of?

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 10:08 am

Yeah, but the similarities in Gen I and Gen V's pokemon was done on purpose. If you think about it Gen V was a big homage to Gen I.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 2:27 pm

Timburr and Machop, maybe. Both are the heavy hitting fighter types that require trade to evolve to their 3rd. However, the Timburr evolution line much more awesome.

And Gen V was the USA to Gen I-IV's Japan.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 9:54 am

I meant that it felt like a fresh adventure just like Gen I did along with the obvious Gen I expys.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 7:05 am

Right. That one. And Tympole > Poliwag.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 6:36 am

Still, it was the only region that wasn't connected to genI-IV.

Eh, not entirely. The final evolution for Tympole requires levels, instead of a water stone. But it was Gen V's froggy.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 8:56 am

Felt like it for me. :shrug:

I guess Drillbur is kind of like a Diglett with an actual, distinguishable form.

And I'm trying to remember what Pansage, Pansear and Panpour resemble, if they resemble anything.

Oh, and Munna > Clefairy

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 8:56 am

Gen 5 was also the only generation that did not have Kanto in it.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 8:25 am

Mind. Blown.

» Sun Jun 16, 2013 2:32 pm

Kinda implied, as Unova is on a different continent (pokemon America) from Kanto, Johont, Sinnoh, and Honnen (Pokemon Japan)
