Kid fi? :roll: arent you original 

[QUOTE="Tjeremiah1988"]9.5 thanks to the Wi-Fi.peacebringer

its a plus but you can still trade with everyone without FCs. 

[QUOTE="Tjeremiah1988"]9.5 thanks to the Wi-Fi.peacebringer

Even if it doesnt have a lobby it still has worldwide trades, without the needs of friend codes. And the online battle/trade component is a big jump for the series regardless of how it works. Either way I'm still guessing its AA also. 

I'm guessing AA, but AAA would be great. 

anywhere from 8.4 to 8.8

wifi elements will boost the score seeing as it hasn't been done in any pokemon games before. 

3.1

If you have FCs, you and friends can be ina  lobby, battle and chat, or you can go to place in the game and set your team up to battle other people.

as my sig clearly states, "im a hypin Pokemon AAA".

o and you only need a FC if you want to battle, and chat with a specific person. Random battles are chosen by rank. andthere is like a trading market where you post who you want and are willing to trade... FC are basically if u want to be garunteed a match or trade with a friend.

I've heard that you can do random battles with people you don't know.  With your friends you can go to lobbie, voice chat, worldwide trading and battling no friend codes required. Just because you dont like the game or are too mature/hardcore/cool/old whatever for the game doesnt mean it sucks or that its being catered exclusively to kids.

 If they were afraid of kids being "seduced" they wouldnt have included voice chat in the game. :| The fact remains that you do trades without friend codes. I admit the battling with only FC is dumb. And the fact that its the FIRST online Pokemon also stands, so its actually a nice change regardless. Kids can easily get FC online or in person. And they CANT be seduced by simply having a battle if it were random matches. :|

this might be a stupid question...but whats the difference between wifi LAN and wifi? Shinobishyguy

LAN stands for "Local Area Network" where in it does not connect to the internet to utilize some server to handle the data transers and allow people from afar to play. That's "Infrastructure" LAN basiaclly is just Link Cables without the link cables.. well for the DS, for systems they use ethernet cables."

"Infrastructure" is just online play, and means you don't have to restrict yourself to just anyone in your vicinity, but all over the internet. Nintendo tends to coin this "Wi-Fi" or their "Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection" and "LAN" play is just "Wireless" play from Ninty's terminology.

8.6, it's supposidly bringing back important elements from gold/silver, and both of those were solidyoshi-lnex

8.8

WOW. You're wrong. Nintendo Power and other sources themselves already stated. You only need friend codes to chat during battles, but battling and trading can be done with a random person. Stop trolling.Mikazukinoyaiba

Who's trolling now? if you can read that says you need FC to battle. read the other reviews on this very website. they all state the same. also it depends when nintendo power said this magazines are usally 1 or 2 months off and if things change it can take 2 issues to correct. Nintendo did say it wouldn't need FC but it changed.

It is def. the best Pokemon to get back into the franchise with, I had lots of fun with it.

I will says AA, 8.7 sounds good. 

Actually you both are right. It's true if you want Voice chat, and others with friends you need their FCs to battle them. But you can battle other people without FCs. There's a place you go to, I think it's akin to the Battle Tower, but anways you can go there and fight random teams. yoshi_64

Another Wi-Fi feature can be found in the Pokemon Centres which only works with Friend Codes. Once you have one or more FCs registered, you can visit the Wi-Fi Club that'll allow you to battle with any long distance friends that are online or trade with them. While you're doing this, you can voice chat with them too.

On the other hand, there is also the Colosseum and Union Room which is also located in the Pokemon Centres but these are wireless link features only. As the name suggests, the Union Room allows up to 5 players to hang about together in a room. Here you can battle, trade, chat using messages, draw pictures or share records of the TV interviews you've been in in-game. Yes, if you speak to a reporter during your adventure, you get interviewed and are allowed to select a certain phrase to appear on TV. You can then view the interview to see what the reporter said about you.

For those thinking that anyone who got either versions of the game early will have a level advantage, there are actually level caps you can set if you want. There are also different types of battles if you choose to have a team battle such as Single Battle where you can only have one Pokemon each and Double Battle where you can have two each.

Finally, there is the Battle Tower where you can compete against other players in ranks. This works by downloading data for a specific room off the WFC servers. Your Pokemon are then capped at level 50 and your goal is to beat as many NPCs in the downloaded data as you can to earn a high rank and a place for your name in the WFC "Leader Boards".

"That's about it for Wi-Fi so unfortunately, you can only battle people if you have their FCs."  in teams you can battle NPC's but thats pointless really is.
