[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]this might be a stupid question...but whats the difference between wifi LAN and wifi? yoshi_64

It's just really "LAN" 0r "Infrastructure" Wi-Fi is just the type of signal used to communicate the systems.

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.

you mean like in mario kart ds whre it asks you to choose either local area or world wide?

I'd like you to take a look as the second to last paragraph in your statement. That's what I was referring to. You essentially download your team to the servers, and compete that way. I admit it's not the true experience, cause you and your opponent will not be controlled by each other but you fight his A.I. and he fights you through A.I. but it's still random battles with other people, albeit not true to something ike Mario Kart races.

Yes. That's it. The "Local" play is basically where you can only play if you have other people with MK: DS around you. But the "NWC" button is where you connect to the internet. That's "Infrastructure" the "Local Play" is the one where you are playing with people who have the game and are around you, or Download Play

yeah but it's like a time trial beat as many NPC's as possible this is the only cool thing but NPC's? you can do that offline. i really wanted to build a super collection and battle people and show how good i can play but it won't let us do that and to bad Time trials get double teamed by friends and get unreachable by one single person....

Actually how the friend code-less battles work is by players of the game to upload their team of 6 pokemon to the Nintendo servers. Then you are matched with another players team randomly. The other player team is not controlled by the player but by the AI. So in essence you aren't really battling another player just the team that player uses that will be controlled by AI. I think the reason they did this is beacue of Pokemon Battle Rev and the fact that you can battle against other random people in real time in that game and if they had it in D&P they probably felt no one would buy Battle Rev.

I understand that gripe, but I'll likely find people to fill my address book with... friends and people I talk to online or this forum... won't matter I'll still have some to show off, and like Hellsing said... probably the reason was cause of Pokemon Battle Revolution..

Still, make a very hard team, and it could be that the trainers will have a rough time trying to beat your team if they encounter them...

i know what your saying and it's not that easy. people don't play at the same times. so you will need around 100 FC to guarentee you will be able to battle online every time. example it's 12.33am in the east at around 4 am who am i gonna find to play online on ? i'm gonna have to find people who do but thats realy hard. i used to have a guild in World of Warcraft and as good as that game is my guild had 200 players and be rare to see mroe than 10 on at the same time. it's sad they kinda ruind a game that other wise would be perfect. the trade feature is kinda lame because isn't the point of pokemon to find and explore yourself? they just kinda ruind it for me i'll still get it and i'll like your FC yoshi since it's 12 30 am here and your on so maybe you might have a chance of being on when i play at night.

9.1, mainly because there are a whole slew of added features like the online plus the local wireless battle systems will make it better for playing against people unlike the old days and link cables (I still have the older games and a link cable as well). The one thing that bugs me about Pokemon is that the starting monsters are always the usual, fire, grass and water types, I want something different for once like dragon, ice and bird types, plus the storyline should be different as well.

Pokemon is fun and addictive, if your living in the 90's. Adding more pokemon just doesnt seem to do that much. The other improvements honestly i dont know. But because it is a well loved franschise. I give it: 8.5 out of ten.

8.3, but it won't stop it from selling 15 million world-wide and becoming the largest online RPG community, and the biggest system-seller of this generation.  The DS will hit 50 million quicker than you can say hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia.

8.4 - 8.9 ish. Doubt even wi-fi will get it AAA, but then again I'd be glad to be wrong in this case.

the Wifi Feature isn't as elaborate as people think it's gonna be not even close. infact the main feature that will be used is the trading no battling other trainers is a letdown. reason why this game only got 9's and 8.9 other places.

[QUOTE="peacebringer"][QUOTE="Tjeremiah1988"]9.5 thanks to the Wi-Fi.HappyInvader101

wrong he Wifi is more like Kid Fi you need FC to play online and that not a good thing Animal crossing has a simlilar setup and trust me just getting random FC from online or even websites doesn;'t help since no knowing when those people will play. if they had an online lobby then it would be AAA but it's gnna be AA sorry.

 

Kid fi? :roll: arent you original

Ignore the noobs on this site :-/
