im thnking of buying another DS for D/P. i have a few questions so i might be able to save $150

1. i know you need internet access throught a cable modem, a nintendo DS, and a wi-fi compatable game like D/P. is that all you need? no software downloaded to your computer? no special connection cord?

2. how do you get in comtact with people? is it like a internet chat room?

3. how do you get on wi-fi? throught the pokemon centers in D/P?

4. do you like point the DS at your cable modem?

5. whats it like? how do you interact with people? is it similar the the union rooms in FR/LG?

6. would people be kind enought to make fair trades? EX. i trade magmar so it will evolve. then we trade back i get magmortar and they get their pokemon back. id like to not trade a magmar with magma boost for a magikarp or something

7. just making sure, "wireless internet" is when u have internet on your cable instead of your phone line right?


yes..i know these questions are stupid but i never did any wi-fi stuff

Hee hee. That's so silly. How could that possibly work?

Oh, that's why. You don't have a clue what "wireless" means. No wires. Very simple concept. Rather than your computer connecting directly to your modem or router, you would connect remotely to a wireless modem, no wires, your computer would have a wireless ethernet card instead. A DS is already set-up with wireless hardware to connect to the internet. Pointing it at a modem isn't going to do a thing, it's not magical. There would have to be a wireless internet hub of some sort nearby, like a wireless router. And you don't have to point it at anything.
 
This thread is made of win and lulz. You need a wireless router to have wireless internet. If you have a DS already, there is no need to buy a new one. I suggest getting a nerd at school to explain these things to you, or perhaps an older brother.

Ok, I registered just to reply to this. The fact that you have no wireless capabilities at your residence has nothing to do with the DS. Here I have two steps to fix your problem.

1. Buy a wireless router from a local electronics store or online, whichever you prefer. If all you'll be using it for is your DS, the cheaper the better.

2. Install it on a computer with Internet access.

And there you have it, working WiFi. I don't think it can be put any simpler.
 
Actually, there is an easier way. Go to an electronics store that sells Nintendo stuff and get one of these.
Plug it into your computer's USB port, and there ya go! Instant Nintendo Wi-Fi!
