Dae asks: How connected are you?

News is crawling by slower than a three-toed sloth. I guess you can’t really promote new games when you still want to sell the old ones :). Bring on the spin-offs in January, please.

Anyway, today’s about a major feature of Pokémon: connectivity. Even more than 15 years ago, Pokémon was designed to bring people together to let them trade and battle. Nowadays, with the internet having gained solid ground, staying connected is easier than ever. With the PSS in Pokémon XY, battling is as simple as pushing one button. This leads me to my question: how connected are you? How many friends have you got in your friends list. How many times do you battle and trade everyday? Do you talk a lot about your battles with your friends in online chat, or even at the playground? And who’s considered the best local battler of his friend group/family?

It’s hard to make up news, and we don’t have coverage that is coming to a close that actually gets delayed and trickled to pretend there’s still news, so if you have any ideas, hit us up in the comments. Maybe I should try to write my own Pokéology, seeing as we have no clue what Mechanos is up to. You can comment in the meantime below this article, but everyone who spams too much will be put on the ‘spamlist of shame’ for everyone to see. Happy commenting!

  2. Connectivity? My 3DS friends list is maximized at 100 friends. Before XY I had 0 friends in my 3DS, and the only game I had for it was Super Mario 3D Land. I’d like to see the PSS included in every future game for now on. I like that we can trade/battle with players anywhere without having to go to the downstairs/upstairs of a pokecenter.

    • I once caught a Shiny oddish and trained it all the way up to a Bellossom. I was a kid at the time and… I traded it in a in-game trade in emerald… :’-(

  3. L.M.F.A.O!!!!!! Spam list of shame!!!! Dae, please make this a recurring thing!!
    I love the introduction of the pss this generation, and I hope it’s a feature in the next generations. It makes it very fun to battle and trade with anyone around the world because it’s almost effortless. It is also easy to play with your friends thanks to the pss. I was never an online player when playing pokemon, but the fact that I don’t have to go to a pokemon center to play with my friends or others is truly amazing. And can we have a moment of appreciation for that save time?

    2. What would be your team?
    3. What region was your favourite and why
    4. From that region what pokemon did you really like
    5. What mega evolutions would you like to see
    6. What do you think of x and y and how have they tried to bring back nostalgia from gen one?
