Twinfinite writes, "The latest Pokémon X and Y games bring many new mechanics to the games, including many new online connectivity features. One of these features is called Wonder Trade, and it allows players to anonymously trade Pokémon with someone else online without knowing what they will get in return whatsoever. It’s a neat enough feature, but a malicious virus-like hack has entered the dataspace of the Wonder Trade."
Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.
why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.
Answer should be obvious.
No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon
BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
The Pokemon Company has a solid thing going right now. Well, it’s been going on for a while, actually, but it has been a while since a new typing has been introduced to the popular monster-taming series. The latest one, Fairy type, was introduced back in Generation VI (Pokemon X & Y), so it does seem like it is time to bring in a new one. Check out Jason Capp's article for more.
Oh god. :( People are the worst. Wondertrade is one of the most fun things I've done in XY. Why ruin it?
I've been following this story a little, and I'm pretty sure it's mostly just fear mongering. There doesn't actually appear to be any confirmed cases of this happening via WonderTrade. Take this story with a grain of salt.
Why would you wonder trade anyway when I have gotten everything that I have asked for from the GTS? All the starters. Everything.
