Wi-Fi Enhancements/changes?

[Magmortar123]

Terribly sorry if there's a thread like this, I couldn't find one.


Anyways, is there any new wi-fi features or enhancements you'd like to see? Personally I'd like to see random battles similar to PBR. Also, for the GTS, I'd like to see a feature where it shows people who want a specific pokemon you have and what they're offering, maybe put near the seek pokemon button. Any other ideas?

GTS definitely needs a revamp, including a more intelligent upload/search system that prevents requests for impossible Pokémon from clogging up the system. Why GF decided to let people request Level 10 Mewtwo is beyond me.

 

[Senzura]

Obviously GTS

But on the less obvious side, I would like the ability to have random battles with REAL people of WiFi. They did that in rev, but I would like to see it in the DS games

I'd like to see a feature where you can Deposit and Withdraw Pokemon from your PC while online, and also to Move items or Pokemon.

It would be really...REALLY..helpful.

That....would be epic. However, that would require adding connect24 (which allows wii to be constantly reseiving data wifi-games, even when offline.) However, the DS cant be upgraded, so technologicly, this couldnt happen imo ='(

Well, there is the possibility that at some point in the future they could hand out a level 1 Mewtwo at an event. Still the most bizarre part is how easily they could have fixed this. All you'd need is one tickbox that says 'ignore all trades requesting legendaries'.

They could always alter the rules whenever they have such an event. But yeah, a bunch of checkboxes like that would be awesome - another useful one would be "Only show me trades I can make with the Pokémon I own". Or maybe they could even, you know, show more than two/three/five utterly random trades at a time.

Seriously, the original GTS was a great step forward, but it couldn't be less user-friendly if it tried.

I think he meant that they should put a PC in the Wi-Fi Club so you can manage your Pokemon in-between battles, if that's what he means, I'm all for it.

I'd like, like they said before, Random Battles. Also, Wi-Fi Multi-Battles ftw.

 

[Orion-Sama]

Random Wi-Fi Battles. That is all.

Considering the massive security holes that are already part of the GTS (see sendpkm) I don't think I'd trust Nintendo's ability to roll out software patches through it.

This would be so easy too. All you'd have to do is make the trainer and opposing team's names generic if you don't share friend codes with them. That would totally eliminate all possible offensive content you could encounter. I was actually really surprised when I found out that this wasn't part of the game, but that the wifi square is. Here, go play crappy minigames with no reward with random people. Also here's a toy. Sparkles come out of it. We actually can't think of anything it's good for, so you figure it out.

Yeah... Even Nexon is better at fixing issues that Nintendo.

Exactly what I'm saying.

Yeah it would!

I know! that annoys the heck out of me!

Allow the games to use WPA settings so that I can get on my router much easier >_>

 

[Mijzelffan]

I've said this before, but I want you to be able to ask for every pokémon on the gts after the national dex.

 

[Soulweaver]

No. It would totally break the system. Everyone could just make numerous clones of some random legendary in Emerald, migrate them to HGSS, transfer them to BW and then fill their dex by asking every Pokémon one by one. I don't want that, Game Freak does not want that.

Considering the massive security holes that are already part of the GTS (see sendpkm) I don't think I'd trust Nintendo's ability to roll out software patches through it.

Sendpkm does not use any supposed exploits in GTS. It emulates the GTS server for DSes connecting to it (via faked Domain Name Server, or DNS, into which players have to set their settings to). To fix it, Nintendo would have to patch individual games, which apparently is impossible on DS games (unless they have reserved space for downloadable patches). And that'd be easily avoidable too - just don't connect to Nintendo services and patches are never downloaded.


Ahem, yeah. We need to get improvements on GTS.
* We need to limit search to offers we can fulfill. Crawling through countless searches for Lv9 and below Alakazam is annoying.
* Similarly, we need to get a "reasonable trades" switch. No, I won't trade your Italian Caterpie you just caught in the grass for my Lv100 Regigigas.
* The limits of 3 to 7 trades on-screen at the time are entirely artificial and stupid. Get rid of them or at least raise the limits.

This. I had to remove my code just because my DS wouldnt accept WPA

 

[Smugleaf]

GTS needs a little more freedom, and I would love a Random Battle mode where you just battle against someone at random who is online at the same time.

 

[No78]

-Random battles (and not 3v3, proper 6v6)
-Battle Finder Filter (eg, No Legends)


...That's pretty much all I want. I never use GTS because of all the hax. If nintendo made it so hackers can't use GTS, that would be sweet (also it just feels really lame getting a really rare Pokemon that easily).

 

[alster08]

More info on the pokemon the other person is offering.

Then legendaries could be an exception. I just hate it how the GTS was almost only for sinnoh pokémons.
