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?

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. |

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.
