One of the unique features of Gen V is the Global Link Station and it's ability to add DLC to your game! In addition to all of the usual stuff you can do with GLS, you can also add new wallpaper and event items, as well as some special kit to be announced.

That being the case you should take the time to visit the official Pokemon website and the Global Link Website and create an account on both.

Star Piece

Theres a really easy way to get a Star Piece everyday. A Star Piece sells for 4900 making this an easy way to get money. Right before you go inside Pinwheel forest you should see a non paved path with a nurse in front of it. Follow that path to a set of stairs and head up them. At the top theres a bunch of small rocks and one big one, which is called the training rock. Go up the the large rock with a fighting type Pokemon in your party. If you don't have a fighting type you can always catch on in the grass. Anyway go click on the rock and let your Pokemon try to break the it. When this happens your Pokemon will break off a Star Piece. Now you can either go sell your Star Piece or save it for a rainy day.

Clyde

The guy who stands at the front of the gyms gives you more then advice in Pokemon Black and White. His name is Clyde and when you talk to him he'll give you a Fresh Water and tips on what Pokemon to use. The Fresh Water might just come in handy as you battle the gym trainers and leader, and it's a lot better then going out and buying one.
