    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
     
    they look cool. I only watched the first 3 or 4 then I just started to skip them.
     
    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.
     
    I find them useful for Pokemon outbreaks and etc,for what is actually happens but sometimes it's not useful when you see stuff about the daycare.
     
    I dont find them that interesting or usefull. The town map is more usefull its got everything you need to know.
     
    I usually only look at for the swarms, apart from that I don't spend much time looking at them.
     
    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!
     
    It's a nice addition but I much preffered it when we were told which pokemon was swarming like in older games.

    I try to avoid going on sites like Serebii to find out but sometimes it's the only way to know if you've caught the swarming pokemon.
     
    i really like them its quite nice knowing where the swarms are when u are just out training. i find myself standing at them everytime i pass to read what its saying
     
    Good for swarm information. It beats having to fly to a specific location just to find out like the previous games so it's useful. Other than that not useful. They probably need more time events to abuse it more.
     
    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
