Pokemon Scan


CoroCoro Magazine has some new details on how WiFi works for Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl. Serebii.net has kindly done some translations. The WiFi play seems to be much more sophisticated than we first though. Check out what you'll be able to do!
  • There is an underground world named Shinou for WiFi and wireless multiplayer
  • You can hunt for Pokemon and/or items in Shinou with a friend
  • Shinou will be the primary location for fossils
  • Your secret base will also be in Shinou
  • You can play Capture the Flag against your friend. Both secret bases will have a flag which you must try to retrieve
  • Battle Tower has a Global WiFi Room
  • The Global WiFi Room has both a Global Battle Station and Global Trade Station
Whether or not the Global Stations require friend codes is unknown, but it seems unlikely because each Pokemon Centre has its own WiFi room! Keep your fingers crossed! WiFi seems more interesting. This may be the first Pokemon game I buy since Pokemon Gold!

I certainly hope this isn't a mistranslation or misunderstanding. A CTF game -- even a poorly executed minigame -- would inject some originality into the franchise, and certainly give me a reason to give it a try.

...Not that I wasn't going to buy it anyway. I admit, the stupid creatures have infected my blackened heart, and now I need to collect as many of them as I can by way of penance.

But, still. If they can pull off the WiFi here anywhere near as well as it's done in Animal Crossing, it could really open Pokémon up as a viable MMORPG-like game.

Um, why wouldn't it use friend codes? They're used as much to protect the kid as to find them.
