Trivia

 * Data exists in the Japanese versions of the Generation V games for an additional option called Wireless (Japanese: ) with the description "You can choose to turn constant wireless communication either ON or OFF." (Japanese: 　で　するか　／が　べます); it was apparently removed in favor of the power button in the C-Gear.
