No, this is not spam. xD;


The Passing Survey part of the C-Gear can be activated by going to the Passerby Analytics HQ and choosing a survey to ask people - everything from "Which version is most popular?" to "What do you want to become the most?". Have you found use for that function, or do you just ignore it? Do you leave your DS on in hopes that you'll pass by someone and collect survey data so you can get that top SS rank?

I personally didn't even know how to use it until recently, and even then...I tend to leave my C-Gear off, and never walk around with my DS closed but not off. I would rather use my battery life to actually play than to collect surveys, and considering the top prizes are Nuggets and Rare Bones, I don't really see the reason to do it.

A lot of the stuff added in Black and White is mainly pointless. The whole Black City/White Forest is a huge joke especially for those living in rural areas. Not everyone has friends with Black/White. It would have been acceptable as a WiFi feature but one that requires local wireless is ridiculous. The same goes for these surveys. The information probably ends up in the marketing departments hands.

lolomg I was just wondering if anyone would make a thread on this yesterday.

I honestly don't care about this. When I first saw this I thought "kay this is interesting..." then after him explaining, I'm like "what?"

Yeaaah, I have no use for this survey feature. :(

I don't really see the reason for this feature. =/ Kinda pointless and useless if there isn't any other players nearby. Best place to use it would be at a Pokémon event or con, which I'll be trying next time I go.

I did attempt to use this feature, but apparently, no one around my area has this game. Looks like the feature is mostly useless - I'll need to get together with my friends for it to work at all.

Occasionally I'll walk around with the C-Gear on to collect survey. I think its kind of interesting seeing other peoples answers to the survey question. The only thing is it drains battery life so thats why I don't do it that often.

^-----sums up my whole thoughts about theres version differences, even though id add the fact you cant see any of the version exclusive pokemon (or the white forest pokemon) except the goth/single cell,&ying yang pokemon

Its all a huge bloody joke, to get people to buy both, in the end i think White is better,but i hate white forest cuz i never get bagon and aron >.> and i usually only get pokemon who need to be trade evolved, I may be in Boone,NC but NOONE plays pokemon in this town, nor does anyone walk around with a DS that has Black& White, their all too busy in college ya know?

I answered the survey, but unless you're somewhere like an anime/gaming convention where a lot of others are also playing B/W, it's pretty much useless because there's nobody around to share your results with.
