World-wide wi-fi trading
Does anyone here know how it will work? Will you find people friend codes then look for them thourgh wifi? I'm confused with it.
|
I agree i don't understand how it could work. It doesn't make sense to me.
|
Isn't that the same idea as computers? Like.. each person has their own IP Address.. ....bad example.. hmm..
OH, people's addresses in real life. If you know their address, then you can go visit them. I think that's the idea on the World-wide Wi-Fi. You put in your friend's code, and it probably sends a message to that person that he/she wants to connect, and they connect with each other, trading, chatting, playing, whatever! Get it? I think that's what it is anyways. |
Is it each cartridge has a friend code? Or is it a ds? Still confused
|
I think it's the DS, I don't own one, so I'm not sure. But, to Wi-Fi with people, you need to buy the Wi-Fi adapter, so perhaps the code comes with that?
|
I own a DS and i really enjoy how the wifi is used on "Animal Crossing Wild World", you go to other people's towns. I think they'll do the pokemon thing just like that, only you go to another person's differend personalized home!!!!! But it would be even better if you could relace your pokemon in your home and let them play, battle, and trade!!!!!!!
I only know this because I'm taking a college course on video game desine, and we've made our own games for whatever systems we have, I made a simple "role play" for the PS3 and a more complacated game of chess on my DS. The prblem is getting the data to save..... I think i need to make the card bigger......*thinking* Hmmmmmm........ Oh well.... If you have a DS and have some good ideas for the game please post!!! i'll check it later!! Quote:
But you can change your code any time you want!!!!! |
It's not the most needed thing ever.
|
I agree. i don't really care if i get some guy all the way across the world to trade a couple of pokemon that i could be scammed for so...it's ok
|
I think it's awesome! But it's not exactly like everyone says. The friends code comes with the game, it is made when they make it. No 2 friends codes are the same because they always check it in factory, and you can't change it. Otherwise it would be messed up in so many ways. The way it works is that your ds card has many things you don't know about. Especially ram, and "dswifi" coding data. The ram is used when you battle and speak, when oyu battle you download the other persons data including the Pokemon levels, and moves. After that the ram is emptied so that you can chat. When you chat your voice turns into i think some sort of code, then it is uploaded to them, and then they can hear it. It's really simple once you know about it.

The way it works is you get a book in-game, and you are able to input peoples codes and there name, You get 32 spaces to fill, and I myself will be trading with people from this here community. The DS treats the game and the DS as one, so when you first go on to wifi make sure its on your DS. And as Absolutide said, A friend code is always different, so you cannot use your code from metroid prime for example. So yeah, Wi-fi with pokemon will be awesome, I'll finally be able to get a Ho oh and Lugia! |
Anyone have a Deoxys they are willing to trade? lol
|
I think the idea of trading with people from all-over the world is going to be the best improvement to trading since wireless trading.
|
With this great improvement, we will be able to get unobtainable legendaries. *cough*, *cough* ho-oh*cough* lugia *cough*
|
Just like in Mario Kart kicking peoples butts on the internet, i know I'll love this. This gives a better chance of actually catching them all without cheating
:t354:~*!*~Queen Boo~*!*~ |
I like how you can put your Pokémon you want to trade so everybody sees it even when your DS is not turned on. When you do, you'll get messages from people who want to trade. Awesome!

You go into the gts, access the first option to put infernape up for trade, then you specify what pokemon you want in return (empoleon in this case) what level you want an empoleon at, and what gender. When you've done all that, the game uploads infernape into the GTS so everyone around the world can see it, then you leave gts go play through the game some more, or just save and turn off the game, then after a certain amount of time(i always give it a few hours) go back into the gts, and if someone has accepted the trade it'll start automatically and an empoleon will drop down into your game. :D No messaging involved If anyone didn't understand that then pm me and i'll try and explain it better. |
All I need Wi-Fi trading for is to get Stunky, Cranidos, and Dialga. I might not even need it since I have a few friends who are getting Diamond. The rest I will capture on my own.

If I import the US Version, will I be able to use the feature? I live in England BTW.
|
Yeah, Only if you have either, 1) Wireless Broadband, Or 2) The Wi-Fi USB stick, so that you are able to connect to Wi-Fi.
|
I love the new wifi features, I have some family and friends who I dont get to see that often who it owuld be fun to battle with. A lot of the time organizing getting together to have pokemon battles and whatnot can be very annoying.
Another battle feature I heard about is level balancing, so all of your friend's and your pokemon are on level 50 or 100, so people who are up to different parts in the game can battle more fairly :3 |
Which makes all the months of training I've done completely pointless. >.<

|
Alright question I thought that you could only trade with people in your country.
|
You all need to lurl moar. Lots, I say, lots.
OK, first off, each game has its own friend code. Not the DS, game. Second of all, you can trade in two ways:
|
but I don't want to trade with some random person, i want to aim for a specific person. How do I do that?
I've made some pre-trades, and since you can't specify shiny or not shiny, i want to trade manually |
Why does it matter, as long as you get what you want?
If you're that strict about it, use friend codes or trade using local wireless with someone you know. |
i just wanted to see that i have phione for trade if anyone want trade pm me thanks
|
Here's something else I was wondering about the GTS; Can you trade for a pokemon that's not in the sinnoh pokedex before getting the nationaldex? For example, would I be able to trade my lvl.15 shinx for a lvl.15 magnemite at the beginning of the game?
|
^I don't think so. You'd need to get a National Pokédex for that to actually happen. I'm not sure though, but it's highly unlikely you'll be able to get a certain creature before getting the appropriate dex.
|
Quote:
|
Well, that's incredibly stupid, and defeats the entire point of trading. <.<;;
|
Well, i don't see how that will work, i just can't :/
|
Quote:
But It's also helpful, as the requirement in D/P is to have seen the poke not caught, So if you cannot trade with someone who has your opposite version, Just go on to Wi-Fi. |
Quote:
You don't have to have seen a certain Pokémon for receiving it in a normal trade. |
I was hoping to do that with my lv100 Emerald team. :P But apparently you can't do anything relating to any other games until you get the National Pokedex. When the hell do you get it, anyways?! <.<;;
|
Quote:
You can see them all if you battle every trainer and if you talk to an old lady you'lll see the version exclusive legendary, so you don't even need to trade to get it. |
So, if we can't ask for any Pokemon that we haven't seen, then how will the trading of the super-legendaries (Lugia, Ho-Oh, Manaphy, Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Darkrai (sp?), Shaymin, Arceus) work? Won't we have to ask for this Pokemon to get it in a WiFi GTS trade?
If so, then that sucks. (PS- I got a Manaphy/Phione in my Ranger game. If anybody wants one when the American D/P GTS goes up, PM me. I'm not a mean guy, I'll trade you reasonably.) |
Quote:
But you can still trade Pokémon the traditional way, which doesn't require you to have seen the Pokémon before. And some of the Pokémon you mentioned are only availible if you are using a cheating device. |
Do you have to see the pokemon to trade for it if you use a friend code?
|
Quote:
If you use the GTS, yes, you do. |
We wont be able to trade around the world because D/P are region locked.
|
^Yes you will. It's called the frikkin' Wi-Fi connection. And for the last time, D/P is not region-locked.
|
Quote:
|
From what I saw on official WiFi Site, if you ever change the DS your D/P game is inserted in, you get reassigned a new friend code, and you lose all your friends on the old one... :/

if it was the case i wouldnt be able to wifi race on mario cart with my r4 and m3. the wifi chip is inside your ds, once you go and start the wifi on your game for the first time it makes you a friend code that saves into the save files. |
Quote:
|
I think it's great, I never have anybody to trade with so it will be useful to get pokes that only evolve through trading.

Nintendo probably made that step to prevent trading of illegally cheated Pokémon, such a Darkrai, Shaymin, etc, which can not be obtained from other places than an Event. Quote:
If you get the USB connector from Nintendo to simulate a WiFi network for your DS (if you don't already have a supported wireless router), it should even work with Dial-up connections. |
Speaking of Wi-Fi anyone have a legit Celebi they want to trade, I accept clones, if so what do you want for it?
|
Quote:
Say I connect with someone else via wi-fi friend codes. Could I recieve, say, a Meowth, even if I hadn't seen one yet? Second question...If I battled via wi-fi, and my opponent used a Meowth, it would then be registered as having been seen, and I could trade for one, right? |
Yes to both. Local wireless or Friend Codes will allow you to get a Pokemon you haven't met yet. That's sort of the point. <.<;
As for the battle, I'd say yes, but I don't know for sure. |
Thank god. I have no intention of catching a plane to New York just to get a shot at Darkrai.
Yeah, I figured that was the point, but you'd think the GTS would allow you to get a Pokemon you haven't met yet as well. I mean, what's the difference between coordinating with someone on a forum to get an illegit Pokemon and finding a random person to trade one? O.o Thanks though, that really helps a lot. |

they say of you have a wireless router you can connect via wifi. lets see if i can find it... this should be it. (cant post url's till 15 post or more) so heres how you get to it tech support>getting started>at home. there you go thats how i use wifi. like i said im not sure what you mean't by that so if im talking about something really different then just ignore this. |
Quote:
|
What if you battle someone and they use a pokemon you havent seen? For example, if my friend uses a nintendo event pokemon in a battle against me, will it count for me having seen it?
And the GTS can be useful even though you can only trade pokemon you've seen. What if you want the evolved form of a pokemon that's only available at the beginning of the game? It's easier to just trade for its level 50 evolved form than to go back and catch the pokemon at its first form and level 14. |

And now I'm still wondering how my friend manages to play wifi on his Wii with dial-up...I'll have to ask next time I see him lol. |
I have a Dial-up connection and the Wifi thingy, and I do not recommend it. It works and isn't as slow as people say, but it seems to choose when it wants to work. However, when it does work, it doesn't disconnect like so many people say it will.
The DS Wifi thing works for Wiis the same exact way. However, on dial-up, the Wii is slow... very slow. |
Well I only have a DS (and only really wanna try it with the DS if I ever get the chance). Then again maybe it's not worth it..I mean, with all the games I have I can get litterally almost every Pokemon anyways. <_< I just wish I didn't feel so..left out lol.
|
Don't feel left out...
I can't connect either...have NO clue why, since I don't have dial-up, but ehh.. Just drive to Starbucks or Panara if you wanna use WiFi. I swear, it's a good thing I practically live at Starbucks. xD |
Well in the small town I live in all they have are fast food places and a wallmart and that's basically it. -__- However, the library here is being rebuilt and they said they were getting high-speed. Someone months before told me I had to buy this thing and had to plug it into one of their comps and connect my DS with it in order to use it though and.. I don't know. I don't think they'd let me do that. o_x;
|
But there are Starbucks everywhere.. ._.
Ask them...they might...I mean, as long as you explained to them what it was... I don't think most places would be opposed to it...I mean, heck, you could always lie and say it was a Flash Drive... |
Quote:
Well ok, I'm sure they'd understand if I told them. And if not, I'll probably just plug it in when they're not looking lol. So like, one of these connector thingies, you can get them at EBGames right? Because that's where I'm going to pick up my reserved copy of Diamond.. And what's the range of prices for these things might I ask? |
xD That's far!
I'd sneak it in. And if they ask what it is, like I said, I'd just say it's a weird-looking flash drive. ._.;; I'm pretty sure you can get them at EBgames. I haven't seen them myself, but if not, you can order them online, for sure on the Nintendo website. I think they're about $30-40, but with the number of games that use Wifi, I think it'd be worth it. You could always ask the guy when you go to pick up Pokemon. |
Also, I'm pretty sure you get to choose your connection when you connect via wifi, and if you're lucky someone in your area might have it XP personally I can connect to 3+ networks besides my own in my house >.> I have an uncle who lives in a pretty rural area who uses someone elses network to use the internet.
|
Ppl also have the advantage of wifi if they have a wireless router (me!) and have wireless internet. If they do then they could just download the wifi onto their DS and just play online. It's that simple for wireless. I would kind of recommend it but there's alot of people who can't afford it so I guess I'd shut up about it.

|
Yeah, mainly for two reasons: Two players, not four, and 2D graphics, not 3D, except for some attack animations, though.
|

|
So how would you browse the GTS? I havn't seen anything on that yet... x.x And also, if somone put a Dalgia up for trade and I havn't seen one, I can still trade for it [If I have the asking Pokemon], right? |
Quote:
|
Where do you see Stunky and Cranidos? Those are the only two besides Dialga that I need to trade for. Everything else I'll catch / transfer over from GBA myself.
|
Quote:
http://pokemon.marriland.com/diamond_pearl/walkthrough A trainer in the Lost Tower has stunky which is before the 3rd gym, and the first gym leader has cranidos. |
About the WFC.....
So I have a quick question:
Does the WFC support random wifi battles similiar to Mario Kart DS or can we only play people with shared friend codes? |
Thanks for the quick response. Well that kinda sucks as i was hoping to play online for replay value. Oh well better get some friends to buy a ds then.

About the DS WiFi adaptor...
Not sure where this would go, so I posted it here. Does it require Windows XP? Because I'm running Windows 2000 and I'll be pretty bummed if I have to walk down to my local McDonalds just to play online.

It just requires a wireless connection. You can only request pokemon you have seen, and with Pal Park you can only upload 6 Pokemon a day, and they stay in Pal Park if you don't catch them that time.
