Video Chat Confirmed for Pok

[Psychonaut]

People are complaining about the addition of new features?! What is this world coming to...

what good is voice chat seriously going to do for pokemon, especially for LOCAL wireless?

it'll either mess up the rest of the online/wireless battling somehow, and/or take away from them developing/working on something that's actually useful, such as just about anything else.

a new type.

a new pokemon.

a new move.

a new nature.

anything would be better than voice chat.

pokemon. a game aimed at what, ages 5-10, maybe 13? why would that age group, much less anyone actually playing the damn game need video chat? (or for that matter, even voice chat)

sure it's nice that they're trying to add to the game, but what good does it really do for the game? the GAME.

the only game that I could see video chat being remotely viable would be some kind of charades, or I don't even know what. video chat takes away from the VIDEO games. they have two screens, sure, but why mess up the setup they have now, stats/technical/option/choosing things on bottom screen, action/watching on top, for voice chat on one or the other?

and then, if they don't use video chat in-battle, what does that make pokemon? a video chat option?

seriously. anyone using pokemon for video chat missed the boat somewhere. and whoever had the bright idea to add video chat to the game in the first place (along with the intelligent folks who approved it) should be fired/assigned to some other *censored.2.0*ty game instead of messing up a game that at least has potential, and a fanbase that's been *censored.2.0* on enough with game after game rehashed each year.

but then again, what more should I/we expect from pokemon, anymore?

video chat? seriously, captain shiggy? D: how could you allow this


also, just read what jas0n wrote before I started my rant.

tl;dr, what he said.

Because they're pointless new features. They could use the space on the game cartridge for something useful and more interesting than this *censored.2.0*.

How the hell do you know that video chat is taking the space of other potential features? It may not be a feature that's needed, but it's certainly a welcome addition. Plus, we already got confirmation on a lot of other new features, such as triple battles, new Wi-Fi features, and improvements upon already existing features, such as the GTS. Complaining about the addition of video chat is just pure ignorance.

Plus, it can't take up too much space.

It's gonna get banned in the US version, no doubt. But I know I'm going to take this far but this video chat thing is going to get around the net of sex offenders exposing their body parts.

Nintendo isn't the smartest kid on the block. /IMO

I would argue about it being a welcome addition.

video chat is hardly viable for the age group that nintendo's aiming at, or should be aiming at with pokemon. imo, kids shouldn't be given that kind of ability, and I can't really blame the parents if they think that pokemon (which has been fairly family-friendly all it's lifespan) would be anything other than perfectly sweet, perfect and safe for their kids to play.

you could say adding any internet functionality at all takes this risk into account, but there's a bit of difference when you jump from pokemon names, and/or verbal/voice chat, to video chat.

poor move on nintendo/the pokemon company's part. just imo.

KID SEES *censored.8.1* ON POKEMON, REPORTS TO MOTHER.

But the funny thing is I would use the video chat like I use it on Chatroulette. Wear scream masks and just screw around with the kids/grownups.

 

[Pokeman]

their should be an option whether or not you want to Video Chat, if that's the case don't use it if you think it's worthless.

lolchatroulette

I would try it if I had a webcam

they'll do that, they more or less have to if they put it in-battle, like they did with voice chat.
I doubt anyone (or, at least I won't) will use it if they're really playing the game, and it will just be used for lols, if at all.

and an unused feature, no matter how small, is a waste of time, resources, everything. not to mention the thought of video chat between teens (mostly 4chan newfags/e-thugs/awkward 20/30+ men) and kids (mostly kids who don't belong on the internet to begin with) is just trouble waiting to happen. but, friend codes will render the online functionality useless to most people, and the local wireless, as already stated, is just lol to begin with.

this isn't the right way to do internets, nintendo. :/ lol.

I just realized nintendo is trying to do good, adding internet/online functionality, but is flailing/doing it so, so wrong.

The voice chat in previous was never brilliant, anyone that played with me would just hear me curse at them. And now this? What... you want to see me curse now? Okay, I'll write words down now on paper and hold them up for you all to see when playing against me.
Sounds good

It's not going to get banned in the US. >_> Besides, you can only chat with people on your friend roster, not total strangers.

I was going to bring this up, but I found the ideal of me cursing alot more *censored.3.0*ing amusing. :wink:

I kid.

 

[Tyeforce]

I also find it amusing that people are bashing the feature (which will no doubt be a completely optional feature) before they even know everything about it. And if you're afraid that it's going to "take away from the game", then it's obviously not a feature for you, so don't use it. I can understand why some of you probably won't find much use from it, but there are a lot of people who will love the inclusion of video chat. Hell, I would have loved to have video chat in Pok
