Support NeoGAF

[Brazil]

Woah, is this real 3DS streetpass or do I have to have the DS game on and in sleep mode to do it? If its the 3DS kind then holy shit...

Real StreetPass.

If they're doing eShop app-to-DS game information transfers, there's no reason why they can't do StreetPass-to-DS game connections.

 

[Mengetsu]

Makes me feel glad I got my 3DS with me at the moment. On top of the new and improved Pokedex and other stuff incoming, Game Freak's done a good job of balancing their transition from DS to 3DS.

Haven't regretted my 3DS yet! I am excite!

 

[Why would you do that?]

Wait, it supports real StreetPass? Wow. I might get the game a little faster, then.

I feel like that's "new news for new thread" worthy, when it has a solid confirmation.

Q: Does 3DS StreetPass work when you're in a DS game?

 

[Salsa]

Shush, let the 3DS owners pretend like they're getting a worthwhile feature.

If you didn't give a shit, why you even postin' here?

We're really-bored at the moment.

It was a joke on acting all proud as if I didnt care when fact is i'd probably use it if I had a 3DS

the "like a give a fuck" was in the sense of like a give a fuck if people give me weird looks when walking around with a DSi XL

you slippin GAF

 

[watershed]

Is there more information on this streetpass feature? What info/data is being exchanged and how exactly does it work?

You've got the wrong GAF spokesman here, my friend. I get ya.

Q: Does 3DS StreetPass work when you're in a DS game?

Probably an app that collects street-passes and then passes the data to your game file. The 3DS OS is still active when DS games run isn't it?

 

[backlot]

I hope we can streetpass trade Pokemon. So many Bidoofs!

It's just something Pokéjungle reported on. AFAIK, it's not even officially confirmed yet, so we don't have any details.

Yay! Subscriptions! Thank you, giraffe man!

You would be a blight upon humanity, no doubt. lol

But seriously that'd be cool.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

We aren't worthy of the Glorious Bidoof Master Army™ quite yet. But I'm going to lol when people get to the first route in-game, expecting to catch a Shiny Patrat!

 

[backlot]

A blight on humanity? But I'm just giving these Bidoofs away! They'd run you at least a level 7 Mew if you bought them on GTS.

I see, thanks.

IIRC there are various limitations when your 3DS is in DS mode. I don't really remember them, but I think one limitation is that it will only save your pedometer steps for only 24 hours after entering DS mode.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Pokejungle would probably be a better choice for news than Serebii. I suggest switching the two out, Scrafty.

lol.

No.

That's like saying "This dollar menu cheese burger would probably be a better tasting meal than this $20 steak."

 

[backlot]

Serebii isn't really the best place for news. Their Pokedex is pretty good but beyond that I wouldn't trust them any more than any other Pokemon fan site. They've been known to get things wrong.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Pokejungle's also been more punctual and correct with their translated information, too. Serebii's been making updates all over the room, and that's no good.

They, however, don't post crap for hits, like Pokejungle does.
They are a fansite, and do get things wrong occaisionally. So does every major publication.
Including, lol, Pokejungle.

Pokejungle lives in Japan now, Serebii in England.
I think they've beaten Serebii twice recently. Good for them. That doesn't make them a better site - in fact, Serebii, although slower, had more info from Corocoro up faster than Pokejungle, who missed a lot of stuff.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I don't care about which is the better website overall. I care about which is going to supply the news and translations I care about (and I care about B2/W2 news right now), which Pokejungle is doing right now.

The only notably-reliable fan news-source is Bulbanews, though. We have that, plus some Iwata Asks! translations and data from Pokejungle.

I'm not advocating Pokejungle. I've never even visited the site. I'm just saying that Serebii isn't exactly a fancy steak dinner.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

It's the difference between a McDonalds burger and a $20 steak that's known to give me food poisoning. Not as bad, physically of course.

Bulbanews?

Oh, I see. Sorry, I didn't realise you were joking about this whole thing. Bulbanews. Good one.

$20 for a steak is hardly fancy.
Serebii's not the most amazing site out there, but compared to Pokejungle, it's pretty damn good.

EDIT: Food poisoning because Football fish was real for ~1 hour, or shiny Patrat for less than that. Uhuh. You have an interesting definition of being 'wronged'.

 

[gosox333]

Uh, guys....

IT BEGINS

 

[backlot]

So how long until that guy gets to Hoenn?

 

[ScraftyDevil]

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Disappointed that only Elesa changed though. :/

 

[Sianos]

Time for Serebii to magically find a copy with "tutorial mode" enabled again.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

It's shrinking!

And we're going!

 

[J@hranimo]

Black game cartridge? Oooooo niice. The floodgates have been opened!

Wait is that the Super Complete soundtrack on the left?

 

[Mr. Fix]

So who's the new champion??

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Yeah: the portraits for the returning Gym Leaders haven't changed, outside of Elesa. She's really rockin' that Lady Gaga image.

 

[Revven]

HYPPPPPPE ONCE MOAR.

I want this gaem so bad right now. ;_;

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

I bet the portraits are the same because they were too busy designing the new post-game Gym Leaders.

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Hoenn might as well be there if that were the case. Which would make me very mad, because I want Hoenn to get its own remake.

 

[TyRaNtM]

What about White 2's gym leaders? I'm talking about Drayden/Iris case in White.
So.. in White2 Iris will be the Dragon's gym leader again or Drayden will be in both versions?

 

[J@hranimo]

I hope so. It'd be cool to see an older Iris.

Hoenn can't be in this game....

Spoiler

I wish

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

Drayden's been confirmed, but we're still unsure about Iris possibly being the leader in her version of Opelucid City.

The only copy we know is leaked, from the pictures at least, is a Black 2 cart anyway.

 

[survivor]

Uh, guys....

IT BEGINS

Oh boy, just when I was about to sleep. Hope when I wake up tomorrow, there will be tons of new info.

 

[spindashing]

The other gym leaders don't look like they've changed one a bit as far as appearances go. What a shame.

 

[ScraftyDevil]

Bah, of COURSE we start getting new info as I'm climbing into bed at 12:00 AM.

CURSE YOU, SLEEP PATTERNSSSSSSSSSSzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

It's the worst, isn't it? I bet the whole early-game will have been revealed by the time I get up.

Things happen, and Japan Time™ is something I'm not prepared for. Yet.

 

[Delio]

Uh, guys....

IT BEGINS

 

[gosox333]

Why bother sleeping if you're just going to have to sleep again later.

 

[ffdgh]

oh the leaks are leaking in so soon?

DW ditto is one step closer to becoming a reality

 

[Salsa]

and here

we

go

 

[gosox333]

It's a tradition. Somebody gets the game a couple days early and the entire internet sits down and watches until the youknowwhat leaks.

And then the real info frenzy starts.

 

[spindashing]

If we find stuff, do we post about it in spoiler tags?

 

[J@hranimo]

All I want to know now is

where are the wild Eevees???
