== The Pokémon Global Link ==
Actually, I have done a fair amount of research into this, and it is always prefaced by "the" when used in a sentence:
*[http://en.pokemon-gl.com/ "A Dream World that unfolds in the Pokémon Global Link"]
*[http://www.pokemon.com/us/news/pgl_deerling_cgear-2011-09-01/ "The Spring Deerling C-Gear skin will only be available for a limited time, so be sure to use this password at the Pokémon Global Link before it goes away!"]
*[http://en.pokemon-gl.com/information/?infoto=199 "...that will let you receive the Spring Deerling C-Gear skin at the Pokémon Global Link." "Once you've found the password on Pokemon.com, enter it on the Pokémon Global Link Promotions page."]
*"The Pokémon Global Link is a website that connects with ''Pokémon Black Version'' and ''Pokémon White Version''."{{tt|*|Pokémon White Version Instruction Booklet", p52}}
I could also find many more examples on the Pokémon Global Link website, Pokémon.com and in the BW instruction booklet if I wanted as well. If I say that something does/doesn't take "the", I have usually done my research. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 02:20, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
