I don't believe you get purple pieces from playing online with people. I've gotten 0 pieces from all my mk7 online playing and I've played over 4,000 matches

Alright, so obviously, we don't get Purple/Pink Pieces from playing online.

You do only get them from StreetPass Tagging People.

My only question now is:

How do people get Purple/Pink Puzzle Pieces to begin with?

So... my only chance of getting A pink piece, is if it's the first piece I get when I get a new board...

Thanks, Nintendo, for making this whole PuzzleSwap idea fun, but also impossible to finish...

i agree wholeheartedly, i think nintendo thinks that everyone lives in a busy city like tokyo or something, it's hard to get streetpasses, let alone spotpasses, i only get around maximum 3 streetpasses a week and i hardly play online on my 3ds anyway.
3 streetpasses a week is a lot compared to my extremely unsure amount of maybe one per month.
Just saying.

Your first random piece when you got one of the seven new puzzles with the December update is always a pink piece.

I WISH TO KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE, AS WELL!

Same here. Because I've been by one and haven't gotten anything. Unless they updated something.

No you wont
Nintendo Zones are hosted on a DSi XL
so unless you all go to the same best buy and pass another person with one you wont get a spotpass

Does this mean Nintendo Zones can possibly be dumped as DS roms and loaded to a flashcart?
Or maybe not if the Nintendo Zone application is saved as a DSiWare opposed to a cartridge.

Well... from what I've seen it only takes one guy to go on a trip or mall usually to spread loads of pieces,my school used to be a deadzone for puzzle pieces but then me and my friend went to Washington DC and got a shitload of streetpasses every hour, then went we got back not only did EVERYONE finish 3 or 4 puzzles in a week but we also got a lot of pinks, you gotta think of it as a virus of some sort, if your staying in one place for long periods you wont spread it, but if you move around even once every 3 or so months your sure to get a lot of people.

But, once again, I don't have the ability to go to other places. I very rarely go to the mall, or anywhere for that matter, because my family has an extremely busy life style, therefore, I can't go to many places. But, like I also said, I do get my driver's liscense in about another year... so I'll be all set when that happens...
