6th Gen NO CHAT WHILE PLAYING X/Y? WTF, NINTENDO AND GAMEFREAK?

[Poke-master Jake]

Hey, Pokemon Masters, I have a little problem with X/Y that Nintendo and/or Gamefreak should fix right yesterday.

Did u know there's a chat feature in the PSS? Yeah, ikr? To enable it, you have to disable child protection settings on ur 3DS, but that's easy.

I know what ur thinking. "Yay, I can chat with my friends while playing X/Y!" Well guess what, YOU CAN'T. The game stops while ur chatting, and you have to end the chat to continue playing.

Can anyone tell me what the devs were thinking doing this?

That sux. I'm guessing its only text chat too?

The chat is voice based.
I wasn't sure at first, but when ever I wanna trade or chat with somebody they accept and as fast as they hear my voice they're gone :S weird people

But yeah not being able to continue your game sucks

Sure it kinda sucks, but hey, thats how it is.
At least be thankful there is a way to tal to friends, taking a 5min break isnt that bad.
Plus you can talk while trading and battling, which is pretty awesome

Being able to talk while trading sounds awesome. AT least now you can ask for a certain kind of Pokemon :D

This was a big let down for me and my mate. But we end up having long conversations in trade, usually long after we're done trading haha.

Well that sucks. :(
It would have been awesome to chat with other people while you play the game.

Play the game while having some chat room or whatever on your PC/tablet/phone...?

I don't like voice chat much, thus why I don't bother with it in Pokemon games. As Ash493 stated, if you really want to chat while playing there are many other ways to do it. IRC is a REALLY popular text chat system, and with a bunch of free clients for any device, you can chat while playing if you truly wish to.
