Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
Using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection (Nintendo WFC), Pokémon HeartGold Version will enable you to
connect with a friend and play over the Internet.
* When you use Nintendo WFC, your Trainer name and Pokémon nicknames will be shown to people all over the world.
As players are free to choose their own names, we ask that you please refrain from using offensive language.
* Nintendo WFC may discontinue service at any time without warning. We ask for your understanding.
Setting Up Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection

You will need to establish a broadband Internet connection to use Nintendo

WFC. From the Main Menu, select "NINTENDO WFC SETTINGS" to access
Nintendo WFC configuration. Please see the Nintendo WFC instruction
booklet, available at www.nintendo.com/consumer/manuals, if you need
directions on setting up your Nintendo DS.
* If you change the combination of your Nintendo DS system and Pokémon HeartGold
Version, you need to do the setup again to connect. The registration on the Pal Pad will
be also deleted (see page 24).
 Start and continue your game. Visit either the Pokémon Wi-Fi Club on B1F of a Pokémon Center,
the facilities in the Global Terminal, or the Battle Tower to obtain your own Friend Code.
* Without a Friend Code, you cannot connect to Nintendo WFC.
When You Cannot Connect
If you are unable to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you will
see an error code and message. If this happens, please see the Nintendo
Wi-Fi Connection instruction booklet, available at www.nintendo.com/
consumer/manuals.

Pokémon Center
 (B1F)
From the B1F in the Pokémon Center, you can use Nintendo WFC to play in various facilities. In the
Wi-Fi Club, you can battle or trade with friends whose Friend Codes you have registered in your Pal Pad.
Also, you can connect with Trainers around the world in the Wi-Fi Plaza (see page 25).
Pal Pad

You can register the player who you battled or traded with using DS Wireless
Communications (see pages 19 and 21). You can also manually enter the
Friend Codes of your friends. You can check the Pal Pad from the Key Items
Pocket of the Bag.
* You cannot exchange Friend Codes after a Union Room battle.
Check Friend Roster
Check Friend Codes that you have registered. There are also details about your interactions with your
friends. You can rewrite or delete the Friend Code names.
Register a Friend Code
You can register up to 32 Friend Codes. To register a Friend Code you have been given, enter the
friend's name first, and then enter his or her 12-digit Friend Code.
* The Friend Code is designed as a safety precaution, allowing play only with people you personally know well. Posting
your Friend Code on a Message Board, or trading it with strangers, can result in receiving modified data or viewing
offensive language. Please do not share your Friend Code with people that you do not know.
Your Friend Code
Check your own Friend Code.
* To receive your Friend Code, you must connect to Nintendo WFC.
* If you switch the DS system you use, or erase your saved game and start over from the beginning, your Friend Code will
be erased. Additionally, any Friend data you have registered in your Pal Pad will also be erased.
Pokémon Wi-Fi Club

Speak with the receptionist at the center desk on the basement floor of any Pokémon Center. Once
you have successfully connected to Nintendo WFC, you will see the Pokémon Wi-Fi Club screen. Your
status will be displayed on the top screen and your friend's status will be displayed on the Touch
Screen. From the Pokémon Wi-Fi Club, you can connect with others to battle, trade, visit the Battle
Frontier, play minigames at the Wi-Fi Plaza, or use voice chat.
* Some events are only available in Pokémon HeartGold, SoulSilver, and Platinum versions.
