The Pokémon Global Link website is going live on April 13th.

With the release of Pokémon Black & White Nintendo introduced a new online element to the game called 'Pokémon Global Link'. Gamers from around the world are able to connect their games to the service to access all kind of features.

When the Pokémon Global Link service is launched next week gamers can access the Pokémon Dream World, battle in the Global Battle Union and much more. Any Pokémon caught or items obtained in Pokémon Global Link can be transferred to Pokémon Black & White.

The service was originally scheduled to be launched at the end of last month but following the earthquake in Japan on March 11th it had been delayed. The new launch date was given on the official Pokémon website but has since been removed, presumably it was posted earlier than intended.
