Here is something I don't understand? Why doens't Nintendo allow 3DS owner to make use of the app on their console.
I know the 3DS doesn't have GPS function in it, but is it so hard to have the 3DS be able to communicate with the Smartphone?
I mean, the whole point of the double camera on the front was for AR games.
There could have been the opportunity to get the Pokemon in 3D. Why miss that out?
I mean, it would be the perfect opportunity for Nintendo to sell their devices:
"USE YOUR SMARTPHONE IN COMBINATION OF YOUR 3DS AND GET TO CATCH YOU POKEMONS IN 3D!"
That way, smartphone owner could be tempted to buy a Nintendo console too.

no GPS
>>344986986
>>344987092
You don't know shit. This makes no sense from a marketing standpoint.
Do you think Pokemon Go would've been such a phenomenon if it didn't hinge on the fact that everyone is already carrying the game's only platform in their pockets?
Because the 3DS has no 3G or any GPS so you literally wouldn't be able to do the base concept at all.

>>344987340
The normies don't care about the new games, they just want their nostalgia circle jerk.

Phones have better appeal than handhelds that look something out of fisher price or Mitsubishi

You miss the point. I never said it shouldn't be on smartphone. What I am saying is that everyone that has a smartphone can play it. And among them, those who have a 3DS can play it on their 3DS.
It make perfect sense from a marketing point of view has smartphone users might be interested in upgrading their playing experience.
>>344986986
3DS successor is going to have a lot of mobile type games and apps.
Just wait
>>344987454
phones are also needed to be a functional adult in today's society
even poor nignogs have phones
>>344987252
>Because the 3DS has no 3G or any GPS so you literally wouldn't be able to do the base concept at all.

>>344986986
>I know the 3DS doesn't have GPS function in it, but is it so hard to have the 3DS be able to communicate with the Smartphone?
Do you have any idea how fucking hard it would be for both your phone and 3DS to stay perfectly in sync with each other while also with the GPS and 3G? There is literally no reason to do this if you're just going to use your phone anyway to connect to the 3DS.
>>344987615
but why?
if you have a 3ds you should already have a phone
>>344987747
Also not to mention you would look 10 times more autistic using your 3DS outside while walking than with just your phone.
>>344987454
And?
>>344987341
So what? Game would be playable on the smartphone like it is now and those who own a 3DS can use their console instead, while having their smartphone in their pocket. how is that an argument?
>>344987709
>And you do not have good reading skill
More like you have no idea how this shit works.
In any case what makes you think it would be any better on the 3DS?
>>344987824
Not to mention you would have to take your phone out every so often because shit drains the battery fast.
>>344987854
>and those who own a 3DS can use their console instead, while having their smartphone in their pocket
But why WOULD you do this if you are going to have to use your phone anyway even if passively, what are the perks of using your phone and 3ds over just your phone.
>>344987615
>users might be interested in upgrading their playing experience
in what way? the camera is better on smartphone, you can use it with one hand - the game doesn't need buttons.
>>344986986
>That way, smartphone owner could be tempted to buy a Nintendo console too.
they wont though
in fact, this thread already smells like "i want excusive stuff because i bought your other products, give me datz"
>>344987967
Then there's the fact that if it were on the 3DS it would most likely use the touchscreen anyway as opposed to the buttons.
because handheld are for autistic manchildren
go is for normal people
Use pokébank to transfer your pokemone go catches to the game.
here comes the money
>>344986986
>I mean
>I mean
>I mean
>>344988084
I'd be down for that. A lot of Go Pokemon have moves they wouldn't normally learn.
>>344987793
That's my point exactly, hence why making the app available on 3DS make perfect sense. What do you not understand?
>>344988084
oh yeah. transfer the 100 fucking pidgy and 500 fucking ratatas
i think pokemon go needs a lot more work, for instance make the game fun rather than collect the same pokemon just to increase the power of that one pokemon
>>344987856
>>344987965
>>344987967
AR in 3D (hte console barely make use of that gimmick).
Buttons.

Women are so retarded, holy shit. It would be okay if these people liked their instagram or facebook shit, but not something that drives attention away from them
>>344988207
you are only confirming >>344988004
>>344986986
Could they have fit a GPS on the game card?
>>344988004
OP here. It was never about exclusive.
>>344988305
AR in 2D with an actual camera will always be superior to AR in 3D with a 180p gameboy camera you retarded shitmonkey.
>buttons
The game doesn't use buttons it would just be touch screen only too you retarded shitmonkey.
>>344988230
I wouldn't know. I don't even have pokemon go nor a 3ds. It just seems like a smart move to me.
>>344988305
For one there's literally no use for buttons in Go, like at all. If it were ported they would just use the touchscreen.
Secondly the cameras on the 3DS are worse than most phone cameras so again the experience would be better on a phone.
>>344987309
You think they cares where money comes from?
>>344988525
No company does.
>>344988584
Exactly
Niantic doesn't care about Nintendo consoles, fucking lel
>>344988387
How so?
>>344986986
Damn just imagine nintendo making the next biggest app, pokemon snap, would u guys get it
>>344988710
This is pretty much Snap 2 in all honesty.
>>344988707
Your only reasoning is "I want this on the 3DS because I have a 3DS, I hate grapes."
>>344988584
>>344988525
>mfw playing Go on a Sony phone
WE FINALLY WON!Sony phones are ass
>>344988813
None of what you stated say anything about me wanting exclusive.
I do not wish for it to be exclusive to 3DS (it couldn't anyway, seeing that it need GPS , so it has to work in combination with a smartphone anyway).
So no, I never wanted it to be exclusive to the 3DS, that would be stupid.
The point is, there is finally an opportunity to make use of the 3D camera of the 3DS and they are not using it.
>>344986986
Because Nintendo hates their consumers
>>344989096
>The point is, there is finally an opportunity to make use of the 3D camera of the 3DS and they are not using it.
Okay this is your only reasoning that makes some kind of sense, and as everyone with a brain in this thread has pointed out: The reason this is a terrible idea is because the 3DS camera is utter shit, especially in motion.
>>344989096
You can't into English very well can you.
He's basically saying you're mad because it's exclusive to Smartphones not that you want it to be exclusive to 3DS.
are you dumb? you realise the reason why pokemon go is so popular is exactly because its on the smartphone
EVERYONE has a smart phone, nobody would play this if it was a console exclusive
>>344989394
>The reason this is a terrible idea is because the 3DS camera is utter shit, especially in motion.
You kind of stand still, when you catch a Pokemon on Pokemon GO, though.
Also, some might prefer the 3D anyway.
>>344989662
>You kind of stand still, when you catch a Pokemon on Pokemon GO, though.
That's if you have the AR off, with the AR on you're moving about searching for the pokemon.
>Also, some might prefer the 3D anyway.
Very little people would especially considering the 3D doesn't really work in motion even on the N3DS.
>>344989623
>are you dumb? you realise the reason why pokemon go is so popular is exactly because its on the smartphone
see >>344989096
Never was it stated it shouldn't be on Smartphone.
>>344989662
>You kind of stand still, when you catch a Pokemon on Pokemon GO, though.
Not when you're looking for it, not when you're touching the screen to spin and throw the ball (hence why the 3ds uses shoulders to take a pic and not the touch screen)
>Also, some might prefer the 3D anyway.
Who would prefer the 3D in a camera that updates at 3fps can't properly detect light or darkness and is at a resolution of a phone from the mid 00s.
This is the stupidest idea I've seen about this game so far, not even /vp/ is this retarded.
>>344989849
there's no fucking point in that, just throw your nintendo into the trash, cause that's what it is, TRASH
>>344986986
nintendo has nothing to do with pokemon go.
>>344986986
>Using your 3DS is public
Ha, not a chance.
>>344987615
You grasp at straws trying to defend your "point". I will concede you (you), but only once. If you still don't understand the problem, so be it.
There's no "upgraded experience". The game is way too simple. A smartphone delivers all of it perfectly. I'm sure at some point somebody at Nintendo pondered your idea and realised there was no point.
OP this is a terrible idea and would never work.
How would they even go about "linking" it to your phone's GPS? Impossible
>>344986986
>I know the 3DS doesn't have GPS function in it, but is it so hard to have the 3DS be able to communicate with the Smartphone?
Yes, it is, you shit-head dumb fuck. Do people like you even fucking think before doing anything in your life? How does the 3DS talk to the smartphone then, huh? Tell me how. Through fucking magic? Through betawaves through the air? By slowly rubbing its nipples and whispering it into its ear? No you stupid dumb fuck, it doesn't have anything it can use to communicate to a smartphone. So it would need yet another shitty plastic peripheral and it's at that point that it becomes so cumbersome that even normies wouldn't be bothered to go through that shit when it could've just been on the phone only.
>>344990725
You put the wifi on "on" on both device?
>>344989980
Then why does its logo appear right after you start the app, chucklefuck?
Niantic developed it, but saying that "nintendo has nothing to do with pokemon go" is absolutely wrong.
>>344991057
>You just set both devices to "wumbo" and they can connect via magic!
>>344990958
>>344990725
Okay, people update me on this, because I might just be ignorant, but I honestly thought that most smartphone had Wifi.
Is it not the case?
>>344987340
http://nintendonews.com/news/mobile/pokemon-go-connect-future-pokemon-games/
They already said they would do this.
>>344991193
wifi isn't real?
>>344991057
And what happens when I'm out with no hotspot, even if there was one how would it connect to the phone.
You haven't thought this through.
>>344991170
>Then why does its logo appear right after you start the app, chucklefuck?
Because Nintendo owns a third of Pokemon.
>>344991429
So they have something to do with Pokémon Go.
>>344991429
Which contradicts his statement of "nintendo has nothing to do with pokemon go"
>>344991197
What does wifi do that will link up to my phone, are you stupid? Do you know how wifi works?
>>344991526
>>344991559
Not really, they're just obligated to put the name there because it's partially owned by Nintendo. Doesn't mean they had anything to do with the game.
>>344991057
>>344991197
>>344991306
Fucking wow. Okay, so both devices have wifi. Now what? How does that make them able to connect? My PS3 has a USB port and so does my 360, so that means I can just connect a USB cable between them and have a super console right? That's how the world works to you people right?
If you're talking about mobile tethering, it doesn't do what you think you want it to do, and that leaves out people on carriers that don't allow tethering.
>>344991342
>>344991623
Two device having Wifi can communicate with each other. It doesn't need an hotspot to work.
>>344991623
Not that guy, but stop being a dipshit.
The 3DS or the phone could open a WiFi hotspot through which they can communicate.
>>344991709
If you don't think Nintendo a company who's livelihood depends on their franchises isn't going to have a say/command over one of there biggest cash cows you're delusional.
Welp, they didn't put miitomo on 3ds, which is stupid if you want to get those coins for 3ds/wiiu rewards
>>344991898
They rarely have a say in Pokemon unless someone is in some dire shit, like Iwata helping GF with GSC's optimization.
>>344991812
Has there been any precedence for this at all? A mobile app that can override carrier settings to create a wifi hotspot for the purpose of a single app or game? I did something like that when I first hacked my 3DS to have my phone host a the CFW launcher, but that required a hacked up jailbreak/rooted phone, and that shit's obviously not something an official app can use.
>>344991812
How would the 3ds make this hotspot?
How does this connect to the GPS?
>>344991795
>How does that make them able to connect? My PS3 has a USB port and so does my 360, so that means I can just connect a USB cable between them and have a super console right? That's how the world works to you people right?
It's a matter of software, you know, that, right? Aside from that, two device being able to communicate with each other doesn't make a super device anyway.
>>344991991
The phone has GPS. You can't play Pokemon GO on it if it doesn't have it anyway.
>>344991990
There has not, they don't know what the fuck they're saying.
>hurrdurr wifi on both means they connect
Bluetooth would be the only option, 3ds doesnt have Bluetooth
>>344991990
DS consoles could already communicate with each other without the need of a hotspot, simply from device to device.
>>344992215
Sorry dipshit, but YOU have no idea what you're saying.
Have you ever worked with a Raspberry Pi before?
Plug a WiFi dongle into a Pi, have the Pi host a WiFi hotspot, connect to the hotspot on your PC and you can transmit files via WiFi using SSH.
Voila, wireless communication without bluetooth.
>>344992092
You didn't answer either question.
>>344992435
3DS and phone communicate through wifi. Phone transmit the information of its integrated GPS to the 3DS.
>>344992339
Does phone have any peripheral look like that?
>>344992717
What?
>>344992424
No buddy you have no idea what the fuck you're saying.
It's obvious through other peripherals this could be done. I can't just randomly have my 3ds have a hotspot for my phone to connect to though.
>>344986986
I don't think that would be feasible due to battery limits as the only way for them to connect is for the phone to turn on tethering and connect like that.
Because Nintendo didnt have anything to do with the development with Pokemon Go. They thought "what the hell" and licensed the title and gen 1 to Niantic for easy money.
>>344992339
They because they were made to do so.
>>344991997
It's like talking to an illiterate brick wall. You think it's that easy, like a company could just write a bit of code that can override carrier settings on wifi tethering and create a localized hotspot for a 3DS to use to communicate to the phone. Apps don't have that kind of permission unless you hacked your phone.
And all that aside:
>>344992424
That sounds like a lot of work to carry a phone, another lump of plastic and a 3DS altogether to do something at a lower resolution than people are doing with just the phone. That's not even considering that Pokemon Go isn't the kind of app that can run on toaster phones, let alone the 3DS and its shit hardware. Go isn't even stable at the best of times, how is the connection gonna handle the constant freezing and restarts anyone who's used the app knows about?
In addition to the naive notion that it's so easy to just connect two devices just because they have wifi, the idea of carrying your phone and your 3DS is so horrifically cumbersome and unreasonable that it would be a huge waste of money to even try.
>>344992803
I mean:
>3ds and 3ds can connect to each other without Wi-fi via nintendo hardwave (I dont know what it calls)
>phone and phone is the same with bluetooth.
>3ds and phone: how?
>>344992810
>I can't just randomly have my 3ds have a hotspot for my phone to connect to though.
Says who?
Obviously you, the user, can't do it, but Nintendo knows what their device is capable of. Generally speaking, if a device can receive wifi signals, you can program it to open a hotspot.
But with that attitude, 'buddy', it's naturally not going to work.
>>344986986
nigger, even if the 3DS would have GPS, the success Pokemon GO right now has is due to only needing a fucking smartphone everybody and their mothers already own.
If Nintendo would have gone the route of "you need to buy a 150 bucks device to play one or two of our titles which interest you" it would have been not the success it is right now.
Why is it so hard for nintenyearolds to get?
Pokemon on Smartphones = great.
Pokemon on toys = not so great.
>>344992950
>In addition to the naive notion that it's so easy to just connect two devices just because they have wifi

This changes everything, you have proven me wrong, it's impossible!
>>344992964
>Idk shit about their system either but I'm sure if they program it do it they can!
>Well if they use another peripheral they can!
>>344992964
>>3ds and phone: how?
>3DS can be made into a Wifi hotspot
>use the wifi of the Phone to connect with it.
That's how.
>>344988354
I see plenty of women playing this game anon
>>344992964
You've got the right idea.
It's like this, DS games can play together through wifi directly because they were built to have this feature. Phones (or specifically, phone apps) aren't, that's why phone games either have to be on the same wifi network or connect via bluetooth.
Complete retards like >>344993174 think that you can just have an app force a wifi hotspot, even though certain carriers can disable wifi tethering and you need to hack your phone to get over those hurdles which is obviously something an official company is not going to endorse doing. Apps don't normally have those kinds of permissions, to directly access system functions like that.
>>344993321
Again, illiterate brick wall. If it's so much harder than just using the phone, why would Nintendo/Niantic waste money developing it? What kind of retard would even use that feature? Think it through.
>>344986986

You need to learn to read better. It has never been said 3DS should be a requirement, but was proposed as an option.
>>344993906
A shit option
>>344993821
Are you having reading comprehension issues?
Becuase OP specifically mention it shpuld be able to connect with a smartphone to work.
>>344993702
>3DS can be made into a Wifi hotspot
Not natively, It would need another plastic peripheral and at that point, why even bother?
>>344993782
>>344992810
>>344992424
Can't most smartphone be easily be turned into Wifi hostpost without any kind of hack? It's just a matter of setting.
>>344994574
If you use the Nintendo default wifi name you dont even have to setup the connection on the 3ds, it gets it automatically.

what is the latest pokemon game on the 3ds that features the original 150 pokemon?
>>344998026
Gen 6 as a whole?
Also the VC releases that are also currently on sale if I remember right.
>I know the 3DS doesn't have GPS function in it, but is it so hard to have the 3DS be able to communicate with the Smartphone?
If you already have a Smartphone.
Why the fuck would you need to use a 3ds as a proxy instead of just using the goddam smartphone.
>>344988186
>>344988186
Oh yeah? Like which?
>>344999038
I'd check if my phone wasn't dead.
It's already been done, OP.
>>344986986
Pokemon Go is about miniing your personal data off your phones not about videogames
>>344988084
>Transfer a Pokemon with 2 moves that has random as fucks stats
The only way Go functionality could reasonably make sense is if you could transfer Pokemon into the Pokemon Bank and use the distance tracking in Go to function similar to the PokeWalker. But even then, that's just a cluster-fuck of getting reliable set-up between GameFreak/Nintendo's servers and Niantic hooked up, and the function can be done just as well with the built-in pedometer in a 2/3DS.
