When you walk between two routes sometimes, or a city to a route, you may pass through a gate which features a moving notice board containing information that may be useful to trainers. This could include where the roaming legendaries are or swarms even. When you step right in front of one and click it, the screen will change angle and you'll get a better view.

What do you think of these - do you consider them to be a useful way to convey information or do you ignore them? Or do you just consider them to be an interesting feature but you don't care about them?

I thought that they were a nice little addition to the games. I don't find them particularly useful myself, but I always look at them whenever I have the opportunity. The camera angle and the graphics themselves look really nice. :D

It tosses its enemies around with agility. It uses all its limbs to fight in its own unique style.

Probably one of my favorite features in the game, it makes you feel like as time goes bye, technology is really advancing.

But I kinda liked it cause it told the world that you beat the gym leader you just fought beforehand.

I think it was a nice idea, but I don't find them particularly useful. The neatest thing about them, though, is that it makes me feel like the Pokemon world is growing in the technology field just as much as the real world. I mean, you would have never have seen something like that in Kanto or Johto! I watched the first two, though, and then never really bothered looking at one again.

They aren't really that useful except for the Pokemon Outbreak notices. Other than that I think they are mostly there for... a touch of realism I would guess, like the electric signs at airports.

I really like the electric notice boards. I like reading them for info about the weather and what is going on in the different places. I like how it tells you what different things are in the different towns too!

They are decent and a nice idea, but I stopped looking at them when I passed the 3rd city.

Even though I don't use them, they are good and I didn't know they included swarm information, so I my pay attention to them more often...

I like this feature, but I don't use it often. Except maybe for Swarms.
Plus, my name's on it. XD

I think they are one of those nice little features, and it's cool that the swarms are on there every day. The process of tracking down the roaming legendaries with the notice boards is a bit tedious in my opinion though, since they move when you enter and exit the gates.

I like them. Every time I go past one I'll watch it for a while, see what it has to say, slow down for a moment and take a bit of a break. Although it's a bit odd that the weather tends to be Sunny at night. Perhaps "Clear" would have been a better choice of words.

I don't use them as much as I used to when I started...I think they could have added more things to make the more useful like it could have been used for a 20 % sales cut on the Pokestores or something...
