Do you find Wi-Fi useful? Please state why you feel that way about it. I personally think that DPPt would just be shambles without it.

Wifi is the single best thing that could have happened to pokemon:

A) The GTS, makes catching that annoyingly high number of pokemon significantly easier
B) Wifi trading, makes shiny collecting a viable prospect
C) Wifi battling, adds depth where the shallow single player game falls short

I definitely wouldn't have gotten back in pokemon without wifi. I probably wouldn't even be here if it weren't for wifi battling and trading ^_^

WiFi is a fantastic addition to the world of pokemon.
The primary reason I like it is that it provides a route to collect pokemon that I would not otherwise ever get my hands on.

Same here. I practically stopped playing Pokemon games after Sapphire because I was bored of them. Also, everyone around me stopped playing the games as well so I basically had no opponents to battle until Wi-fi came around.

Well, Wi-Fi is a wonerful thing, and without it, I would've never joined Pokécommunity; specially because people around me don't like Pokémon, so I had no one to play, and also because I make new friends with the games.ç

Short story long: Pokémon is not the same without Wi-Fi!

I think it's great. It gives players a chance to really work out the competitiveness of Pokémon. so I'd say Pokémon really needed Wi-Fi to be really good.

Wifi is probably one of the reasons to why D/P and Platinum has been so successful, without that people wouldn't really bother buying it.

Pokémon needs Wi-Fi. With this new addition we are able to Battle and Trade with anyone around the world, it was really a huge step for pokémon, so I really find it useful ^^

I truly find Wi-Fi awesome. Without it Pokemon would be, so to say: "dull". I love to compete in competitive battles.

Pokemon + Wi-Fi = a match made in heaven.

Seriously, it completely revolutionized the game. Pokemon has always been advertised with a focus on interaction with other people, and now we can do so with the entire world. Of course it's going to be game-breaking (no pun intended).

It wouldn't be a shambles, but yes, the game wouldn't even be half as good as it is without Wi-Fi

Before I joined PC, I enjoyed my Diamond game but hadn't finished it - in fact, I'd only got as far as the first gym! I restarted and finished it - then I started trading, and I've met so many awesome people and done some great trades and deals, it's made the whole Pokémon experience more engaging and entertaining. I hope that Wi-Fi is something Nintendo keeps hold of, and it doesn't drop out of any future pokemon games *not that I think it will*.

I find it very useful since I don't have all versions of Pokemon (meaning I don't have Diamond) and certain pokemon can be founded in that game, with wifi I was able to get those pokemon. Also I came across a lot of shiny Pokemon on wifi that I was even shocked to get

I've bought every handheld pokémon game since the franchise hit our shores, and never before wifi has it actually made it possible for me to complete the game- None of my friends play it. I'd end up having to buy each version just to get both sides of pokémon and complete my pokédex that way, but money doesn't allow me.
Wifi is a godsend. Couldn't play without it now. :3

Wifi has given the game some purpose for me. I'm not a fan of catchin 'em all so training for online battles gives me a reason to play.

It needs a tiny bit of work, but overall, it's awesome, in my opinion. I mean, I get to collect shinies if I want, or work on my dex with others' help, or battle (which I don't do, though I might start). I just can't wait to see what's going to be done with this in the future... different Union-ish rooms would be awesome, or something of the sort... or being able to view who wants a certain pokemon on GTS, or... it just opens up so many possibilities that wouldn't have been touched otherwise.

I find it very useful, and it makes the game a lot more fun by interacting with other users.

I'm glad so many people like it. Actually, no one doesn't like it so far. I think it is a great addition to Pokemon.
