Voice Chat
I've seen some people request that Voice Chat be turned off when trading or battling.
Why is Voice Chat so bad? I think it's a great function. You can talk to someone far away without jacking up your phone bill with it. It's also very useful when trading, for last minute negotiations and such. For this thread, not only would I like an explanation of why Voice Chat is so bad, but I'd also like those who post why they prefer Voice Chat to be on or off, so that this doesn't become a "yay or nay" thread. |
I keep it off. The feature was a great idea in theory. It doesn't work that well, you can barely understand the person on the other end, and it greatly affects the speed, something like 10 times slower
|
I prefer to keep it off because when my Wi-Fi wasn't ultra secure I fought like a 7- 9 year old kid who whined everytime I KOed one of his pokemon.
It was annoying to say the least. |
Don't you need to buy something for that? I think you do, and if I had it, I'd probably use it.

Oh. I didn't know that. For some reason, I thought you needed a headset or something. [seen in pics...]
Maybe I'll try them. |

I agree with previous posters; sometimes a wifi battle can be ruined by the immaturity of the person on the other side. Voice chat, IMO, is best utilized between people who already know one another (i.e. regular battlers, traders), ensuring neither party becomes subject to whining or complaining.
|
It all depends on the type of person or the type of trading/battling we doing
If i know the dude, ill probably talk to him. and if we're trading with complicating stuff, then ill talk to them. Other then that, its normally off. Its kind of hard to understand what they're saying. :[ |
I like it on because you can talk to other people and discuss trades and stuff.

Voice chat
I like it on.its kinda cool ta talk to some1 youve never herd from!
|
i like the feature. it's cool to talk to people you see on the forums. slows down battles though. now for trades it works wonders(last minute negotiations and whatnot)
|
I usually have it turned off, though I used it the first few times I got Diamond, but I am generally a shy person and probably wouldn't know what to say anyway.
|
I keep it off since people whine when I KO their Pokes. Curse them.
I'm very suprised that stupid parents of kid gamers aren't complaining about the feature, saying that it contributes to Paedophilia, or something. |

I think it might be slightly different though with Diamond/Pearl, maybe because we have to add 'so and so's' friend code before speaking to them. At least you have some sort of idea what they are like I guess. I'm 19 so my parents aren't really too bothered, they know I'm sensible. But yeah with the amount of young children on this forum alone, you can imagine them hurling abuse at each other via voice chat. 'My pokemon owns yours' and such. |
Hey, I watched that. Good to see some Brits.
|
Yeah, I remember watching it and my parents (who say I play a lot of games as it is, which I do, but hey =P) were like, hey doesn't your little white thing let you talk to people? Shows their lack of gaming knowledge calling my DS a little white thing xD
|
Ha, my Mum does exactly the same thing. My Dad, on the other hand, it highly unspecific. He entitles all forms of gaming as 'Tapping'.
XD. |
Haha completely clueless eh? =P
But like I said, I guess the reason why Diamond/Pearls voicechat function hasn't been pick up on is because you have to the add the person before you speak to them, while the console games are more of a random occurance meeting people etc I think. |
Or the feature hasn't been pick up because people think Pokémon is a kiddie game-_-
@topic I usually turn off voice chat. I onliy turn it on when I trade with friends or people I really good know. |
I usually have it off all the time, but if I know the other person then I will keep it on and talk.
|
I don't have a voice chat, but I would use it all the time. For those who said you keep it off, then what's the point of the voice chat and why battle little kids instead of people you know and that have a high level of immaturity? I'm sorry if this has insulted you, but I'm curious to know.
|
What? Everyone has voice chat.
|
I keep mine off. My voice makes me sound 7 years older when I talk. Plus... my house has too many noises going on at once. I had on VC one time and lemme tell you... lot's of people talk trash when you OHKO their Metagross with a SpecsMence's Flamethrower...
