Thread: The Dream World- Official Discussion

After several entrys to the island without befriending any pokemon, I eventually came upon emptiness. There were no sparkles, no rustles from pokemon, or anything. It kind of sucks because I was never able to find the pokemon I wanted, and as much as a reentered the Pleasant Forest was still completely empty.

Fortunately, after 24 hours and logging out of the Dream World I was able to find the encounters again, but is this suppose to happen?

Yeah, after about 4-5 times going through it, wild pokemon and items will not appear until the next tuck in.

Really? I wasn't sure because I know I haven't been getting very high scores on the mini games. In that case, are you sure the Dream World isn't just heavily biased toward giving out male Pokemon then? I've only been playing for a few days but seriously... all I ever get are males. ;__;

Is there a limit to how many DW Pals we can have? I am trying to accept a DW Pal request but keep getting a message that my list is full and to adjust my list in my profile? Do they mean delete some users? I heard you get DW points by making getting new DW Pals.

Can you be able to only choose 1 Pokemon on the Tree of Dreams? It's because I've befriended many Pokemon and I want to send them all on my Pokemon White game, but the DW just ask me to give one berry, and I'm willing to give each berry for all of my befriended Pokemon, so is there no way to send all of my befriended Pokemon on my game and only to choose one of them?

Thanks! :)

Edit: ok i just saw that one of my DW friends has 8 dw pals, so maybe you can have at least 10?

ok i just figured out what our DW pals limit is, and sadly its 8 total :/

and yes when it says ur list is full they mean delete someone. you can do this on you PGL profile under the DW tab (purple). and this is how you get DW points (scroll to the bottom)

I LOVE dream world. Has anyone received their eeveeloution yet. I got Flareon.
My question is, how do other people visit your house?

It seems to be, and for good reason. In all the times I've played, only about 1 out of every 5 Pokémon, sometimes 1 out of 10, are female. I don't think the score would influence it, but then again I'm only basing this on observation.

I just tried the Dream World last night. It's pretty fun.

I'm just curious. Is it very hard to get 7500 Dream Points?

It seems to be roughly 10. And having Dream Pals doesn't matter so much to get points now you can visit any random people.

Assuming you've set your Profile viewable to everyone;
View Dream Pal Map>[name]'s Home is some random person's house. Random people can do the same to visit you if both of your Profiles are viewable by everyone.

Females are just very, very rare because the site is sexist.

The next time I went to the island, everything worked normally and was in English. It was just this one visit, but I can't read Japanese... I think they might have forgotten to translate this text? I can't tell if it's an error or what.

Has anyone else gotten something like this, and does anyone know what it means?

'An error occured when loading data.' There's plenty of untranslated stuff in the Dream World, though that's the first time I've seen it actually pop out the front-end lol.

I know, right? It seems like a complete contradiction - you can't access the Island until you send the Pokémon to the Entralink, so the only way to get a second Pokémon on the board is, well, to get rid of the first one.

What happens when you wish for a Pokémon, then exit the Dream World without waking the Pokémon up, wait a day, and attempt to cross the bridge the next day, with a Pokémon still on the board?

It wouldn't let you in, I believe. Also, for the ice cream, make sure every scoop is bitesize to get a 2x multiplier, and make sure you use exactly equal amounts of each flavour for another 2x multiplier.

Coz, for the Entralink, just dont pick up your Pokemon from the previous day, and it will still be there when you add more Pokemon to the Entree Forest.

And for the Friend Board...Well, theres clearly a coloured pin system present...but we probably dont have access to it yet. Like, in the Japanese DW, you can visit someones Island if they appear at the Wishing Tree, but you cant in English yet.

You can't even do that, because you could not visit random people in the old site, that option was pointless, and now you can visit random people... they removed that option.

I'm not sure if I'm just insanely unlucky or just sucking too badly on the mini-games... but I haven't gotten a single female Pokemon yet (aside from female Nidoran, which is obviously always going to be female). I really want a female Exeggcute. :( Thanks in advance for any help.

The score decides only the move.

Genders are assigned randomly when you cross the rainbow bridge.

I hope that's wrong cause I don't plan to send Cubchoo back to Black in the upcoming week or so... for a few days my DS refused to connect to wifi so this time I'll just let it stay there for a while

You don't have to register friend codes, but you may want to rethink that plan about your Cubchoo since the moment you wish for one Pokemon to materialise in BW, you're locked out of the Island of Dreams and can't do much until you send your Cubchoo back. If you were using WiFi daily you could do that every day, else it may be a long week for you, Dream World-wise.

How would they determine that person though? Is it purely random?
Also, would you happen to know anything about my previous second question?

Thanks :D

It is purely random, you can go back to your home and check that screen again for another person.

I think it's based on your settings in your main pokemon.com profile, but I can't say for sure. Being a site made by Americans it's probably got the default as USA.

Hey, does anyone know how long the Game Sync needs to recharge after the time/date has been changed on the DS? I'm hoping it's not 48hrs :S.

i believe it's 24hrs.

Ok cool.. it doesn't help that I can't remember what time exactly I changed the time on the DS xD.

I was under the impression that it's determined by what you set your location to ingame... like for the GTS and such.
If that's the case, it's impossible to change... which is unfortunate if you move to a different country and want to update your location.

It seems to be roughly 10. And having Dream Pals doesn't matter so much to get points now you can visit any random people

How do I visit random people?

Is there a limit on how many pokemon you can encounter (not befriend - just encounter) for one day? Cause the last two times I went through the Pleasant Forest, I did not encounter a single pokemon :S.
