Secret base wifi parties?
Join random people/friends in online contests?
Mix poke blocks with your buddies?!

Discuss and speculate!

So, Pokémon XY utilised the Nintendo 3DS' StreetPass feature to exchange PokéMiles and SpotPass to update us with news on the Pokémon franchise as a whole. Now that GameFreak have released their usual bare-bones first version though, will things get interesting?

Here's my biggest wish: Secret Bases that can be exchanged via StreetPass like houses in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, where you can battle whoever you passed by, with them using whatever team was in their Battle Box.

What StreetPass/SpotPass features would you like to see?

Re: New StreetPass/SpotPass Features?

I want something similar to a quick Record Mixing like from RSE. You mix Records with someone and you can find their secret base and battle them.
 
Re: New StreetPass/SpotPass Features?

Secret base would be cool. Maybe mixing records or contests? Then like in Emerald, you can battle them whilst in the Battle Tower as random opponents. If they lost at 25, you fight them @ 25.
 
Re: New StreetPass/SpotPass Features?

Secret Bases. They have to be for both StreetPass and SpotPass, so we can have our friend's Bases from Wi-Fi as well as wireless. This is one of the things I hope they implement the most. RSE Secret Bases were amazing!
 
Re: New StreetPass/SpotPass Features?

Maybe this is just my Animal Crossing: New Leaf/life sim side talking, but I think it would be interesting if they placed more emphasis on Secret Bases and allowed you to receive new items via SpotPass/Nintendo Zones that you can place in your base. So basically what they already do for event Pokémon, except with items, as well. Maybe they could have nominal benefits in your game if you put them up in your base!

I'm a little hesitant about making record mixing StreetPass- and SpotPass-based; I think at the very least it should only be StreetPass-based. I can't imagine my overworld being altered every few minutes simply because I'm connected to Wi-Fi and my Passers-by are constantly changing. Can you imagine trying to catch Feebas, assuming they keep the same mechanic?! @__@;; Ooh, actually! What if your chances of finding Feebas increased little by little every time you StreetPass with someone, until you hit a certain percentage? That would be interesting, I think. But yeah, record-mixing should be StreetPass-based in my opinion.
 
Secret Bases and Streetpass go pratically hand in hand, so there's that. Other than that, bringing back some form of record mixing (maybe in a way that has similar functionality to the keys, minus having to use it to get extra difficulty modes which should be available from the start of the game). Can't really think of anything else, but they're probably going to push this a bit more than they did in XY (it's rather befuddling that Game Freak, who constantly promotes this series as one built on communication, did very little with the myriad of new communication features in XY).
