Yes. There's a "Dream World" feature that allows you to get Pokemon from any generation without having to use the Pal Park. In addition, the Pokemon you acquire may have special abilities that are only available if you attain these Pokemon in the Dream World.Ahh.. Thanks.
Are we missing anything from not being able to get online?
Someone may be able to obtain your WEP key in less than three minutes, but since he'd be reverting it back to WPA, the person wouldn't be able to use the WEP key anymore.You could temporarily change to WEP when you want to use wifi with the game... but WEP can be cracked by people that know about it.
