5th Gen What do you think about the electric notice boards?

    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...

    I like the feature. When I started the game I looked at everyone. I continued this until I had read everyone of them in the game. Now though I only really use them to see about swarms and what not. But still I think of it as a better idea for information then other generations.

    They're pretty interesting (graphics and tech stuff is cool), but it goes too slow. I feel like I waste time just sitting there waiting for the screen to continue scrolling (I read pretty fast). But still, I do go to every one I see.

    First time I saw them, they looked pretty fun. I mean, I like how the camera changes and stuff like that. I've been trying to use them to get info on the mass outbreaks, but nothing yet so far. Still, they are pretty nifty; kinda of nice touch to the lookout stations I guess.

    I like them and I think they are a pretty neat addition. Not only do they look cool, but they also provide info on swarms and the roaming legendary! Sometimes, I can't help but stop and take a look at them every now and then.

    There were a nice touch, I guess, but it seems to me that they were just added to show off how high tech Unova was. :p Well, if you're playing Black.. there are all these forests in White...

    Pokemon outbreaks, yay! Also roaming legendaries, yay! Yeah, I like the bulletin boards. They're so . . . nifty.

    I didn't pay much attention to them. But the first time I saw one, I thought it was cool. Pretty nifty during spring break when I didn't know what the date was. XD;

    I looked at one once and that was it. While they're handy for remembering what the date is, I haven't yet found a use for them. Once I get farther along in the plot, I will.

    I think they're quite useful post-Poke League, because they tell where the Mass Outbreak takes place. I sometimes go trough the lookout stations just to see if Mass Outbreak would take place in Route 8 (I WANT A CROAGUNK!!!). But it never does...

    I saw my first one and was really impressed. I played all the way through Diamond and Pearl, but never got far in Platinum or HG/SS, but i was pretty certain these were knew. And I like how it tells you the weather of all the places associated with that route. makes strategy a little easier.

    The electric bulletin boards are nice additions, but I don't take the time to read them all the way through.
