The Pokémon Thread

probably it has a pre-evo or something, give it a dagger/knife based mon :p

Well, it doesn't hack, per se.

One of my friends has figured out how the Pokémon Global Link works, and has managed to more or less decompile the entire thing - getting all the images, sounds, minigames, you name it as offline files. He recently figured out how to use this data to befriend Pokémon automatically.

I've been using this program for a couple weeks now, it makes life so much easier... All you need to do is give it your PGL login cookie, then run it and it will automatically befriend every single Pokémon present on the island each day, as well as find all items. This means a solid 7-9 pages of Pokémon will show up, and lots of rare items like Big Pearls, PP Up's, Ethers, you name it.

The way the Dream World works is that on each visit to the "Island", there are about 12 Pokémon that are set to appear - and given that there are only 10 areas you can view before you reach the Tree of Dreams, at most you can find 10 of the 12 (in reality, it's usually more like 4 or 5 per visit). This means you're LOSING more than half of the potential Pokémon you can befriend.
Additionally, since each minigame takes a minimum of 60 seconds (unless it's the 'find the Pokémon' one), there's only so many you can even get before your hour runs out. The genders are pre-determined, but the moves that each Pokémon knows is determined by your score in the minigame... in order to get the best moves, you'd need to get over 45,000 on most games, which is next to impossible unless you really know what you're doing. And say you're like me and only want females, so that you can potentially breed their Dream World-exclusive natures, why waste time only to find out that each Pokémon you encounter is male?

The way this program works, is you give it the specific berry you want to use (Or you can put '0', and it will skip any instance of the Ice Cream minigame, though there are certain Pokémon that only use that minigame), tell it what rank you want to earn in each minigame (the numbers range from 1-5, for some reason it works like golf and a lower number is better, so putting '1' will give you the best moves), and what language your Dream World account is in (for most, it would be 'en' for English). Then just let it do its thing, and when you cross the island next you'll have 7-9 pages full of Pokémon.

So, instructions for those of you too lazy to read:

1. Log into Pokémon Global Link.
2. Export your cookies to a file called cookies.txt. You need Firefox, and this addon. It will be under Tools, Export Cookies. Save the file to the same folder that dw.exe is in.
3. Click on "Dream World" and let the video load.
4. Close the Pokémon Global Link tab, and open dw.exe.

For dw.exe:
1. Give it the number of the berry you want to use, if any. 0 means none, and for the rest of them refer to this page for the specific number. (I used '7', Oran Berry, it's the most common and most useless one)
2. Give it the rank you'd like. I suggest using a '1'. Values are from 1-5, 5 being the lowest score.
3. Tell it what language your account is in. Assuming it's English, you type 'en'.
Press Enter and watch the magic.
(Obviously, you don't use the quotes, I'm just using them to set the values aside.)

Once you're done, just open Pokémon Global Link again, cross the Dream Bridge (Trust me, the island will be completely empty, just rush across it) and reach the Tree of Dreams, and pick your Pokémon from the massive list. Unfortunately you can still only keep one Pokémon per day. Sorry :/

Another thing to note: you get 'Dream Points' every time you befriend Pokémon, and the more rare ones will require more points (as well as things like how many rows you can have in your garden, etc.)
Using this program you get around 1500 per day, which is enough to level your Pokémon up once a day, as well. Without using a script, you can usually only get 200-300 points within an hour.

I thought I'd share this because I started getting frustrated at the lack of good Pokémon on the Dream World, and have been able to get a new one every day using this program.

PS - if people ask, please refer them to this thread. The last thing that my friend and I want is for the EXE file to be spread around enough that Nintendo finds it and 'fixes' the site so it won't work.

What's that bird using Hypnosis in the gameplay trailer?
