There is something I have been thinking about for a while, so I wanted to get some opinions from others about it.

The PokéGear has a lot of useful functions. Some of them are pretty standard, like the Pokédex, Map, or Radio, and most of us use the PokéGear connect to speak to the Network like I am doing right now. And of course you can play games or listen to music on it, too.

The Gear is useful for both trainers and breeders when it comes to having ready information on Pokémon, but I think most of us do tend to use it mostly for communication purposes. But that's why I wanted to ask...

Are there any sorts of applications that you think might be useful additions to the PokéGear? Something that could be helpful for you as a trainer, or breeder...or possibly just something you would like for recreational purposes, maybe.

[That gets a soft giggle that Neku won't hear.]

That isn't dorky at all. It's true, I think.

I don't know much that happens...it seems a bit random, which is why it's so startling.

...like what?

It could be like how Ping Translate would work. There would be a massive database of words and phrases in many different languages to find and match up. For new words, it can connect and search online for similiar words. It wouldn't be entirely accurate, but it should help give us a general meaning!

And it is. I sometimes scroll past posts when I don't have anything to say to them. It can also help with finding posts where people is asking for aid or advice.

[codeforhope]

Yes, exactly. It really wouldn't need to be totally accurate, so much. Just having some way of translation would be better than nothing, after all.

That could turn out to be a very important addition, concerning someone who needed help, for example. It could mean the difference between their problem getting resolved quickly, or something preventable happening because someone didn't see their post in time.

yeah that sort of thing!!! just for storing and stuffs so that peopel cna share and rate or something all sorts of different music and food and things liek that!!

[codeforhope]

Something like that shouldn't be too hard to create. It would probably be useful for a lot of people, too.

[text]

[ajustcaws]

yeah then TOTALLY do that. ...ooh, and maybe put books on these things, too? would that work? i have no idea.

[text]

[codeforhope]

Books? That shouldn't be hard, either. I mean, the Pokedex is like an encyclopedia for Pokemon that already exists on the Gear, so.

[pinnedbangs]

like jump scares?
that's not fun

was thinking about the ruins
figure there should be something in there
probably only comes out at night

i thnk sprout tower is pretty creepy
but there are loads of bald monks!!!
they prolly try to scare ppl all the time!!!

[text]

[codeforhope]

Exactly that. I don't like it very much.

And I...haven't ever been there, actually. Is it really that scary?

[text]

[pinnedbangs]

i hate jump scares
theyre stupid
i dont blame you for not liking it

really?
never been there
only heard about it

ive been to the tower!
shits creepy
but in a good way
like
zombie apocalypse

[Text]

[babel_hacker]

Right. Or maybe we can include an optional notification system. Sending you a message any time someone post in a specific or related tag.

[text]

[codeforhope]

Well, you might do better with the game anyway, since you know it's coming...but it's still not very pleasant.

[...Rin how is a zombie apocalypse a good thing...]

That sounds

very scary...

[Text]

[codeforhope]

Oh...that's a very good idea. That way you wouldn't even have to search through all those posts, so long as people tagged theirs correctly.

[text]

[pinnedbangs]

gonna try it out anyway

[Fine. Unicorn zombies. With man-eating plants.]

its not
just a bunch of bald guys
theyre moaning
but they might be complaining about joint pain


[text]

[codeforhope]

[That's...a little better. Maybe.]

Mmm...I think if I were there with you, I wouldn't be as scared, I suppose.

[Text]

[babel_hacker]

Uh huh. Of course, there'd be people who didn't, but that's a pretty normal thing to expect. Plus, because we use the PokeGear a lot for communication, we would check our messages first.

[Text]

[codeforhope]

Yes, that's to be expected. But I think enough people would use it correctly that it would be worth it, don't you think?

And like you said, we could check...so it wouldn't really be that much of a problem.

[fourwayconnection]

I'll be sure to contriubte a lwhol e lto if you do make something like those!

[text]

[ajustcaws]

yeah!!! and you can talk at each other with text so really, why not?

[Text]

[stitchedupbodyguard]

Ah. That's right. Professor... something left that message saying that they'd look at it, and then they all started to register fairy Pokemon.

[Why did she get the feeling that they would be the last to get anything in this world?]

Other then that... sorry. I don't have any other ideas. I'm not very good with machines.

text

[codeforhope]

Thank you! I can imagine that you would have a lot of recipes to share.

[Text]

[codeforhope]

Oh no, it's alright. That idea itself is a very good one. And if you think of any others, you can always tell me some other time, if you would like.

[text]

[codeforhope]

I will consider looking into both applications for books and streaming television on the Gear, then. Was there anything else you were thinking about, Cynthia-san?

[text]

[ajustcaws]

...you know, just comic books!! but i haven't really seen anything like that on these. i mean, it might be possible, but i dunno, maybe harder?
