Gaming [Poll] Will you buy a Z Ring for Pokémon Sun and Moon?

[Langin]

How about the infra red port on the 3DS? I think it'll utilize that seeing the tiny black thing in front of the ring.

I will not buy this, it looks like a cheap piece of sheit.

 

[DeoNaught]

probably not, But this on the other Hand

Why would I buy a children's toy if I'm not a manchild?

 

[Sheimi]

This is something I would not end up buying. It looks like very cheap plastic with a high price tag.

I could see the same thing that lets you see passerbys in your X and Y work for this thing(wifi). It says something about syncing, so you just verify "is this your ring?" in settings(if that), and when a move of a type is used, a super tiny signal is sent to the ring, bam vibration.

Wifi is just a small part of the radio section of the electromagnetic spectrum (meaning light). As the ring doesn't need security, it's cheap enough to use a small radio receiver that looks for a particular signal.

if it don't get over priced and I have money, why not?:B
It's like these supers entai toys but with more technology (???) haha
I wonder if there are an western logo for tis already? I saw preorder stuff but only show kids posing like ben10 (?)

Wifi is just a small part of the radio spectrum of light,

radio isn't light D: light can't penetrate walls

anyway, i am more thinking about the device got a mic that listens to specific frequencies played when you activate the effect...

visible light can't but visible light is part of the same thing that radio is. the electromagnetic spectrum. You can only see the visible part, but what you can't see of the light spectrum usually consist of a lot more (like radio, infra-red, ultra-violet, x-ray, etc). We use light to describe the whole thing, as well as the small part that we can see with our eyes (visible light), so it can get confusing.

Wifi is just an agreed upon standard that uses the radio section of the light spectrum. That whole 2.4ghz and 5ghz thing is actually just telling you exactly which section.

In that case you just use RF, not WiFi. Much cheaper.

That's what I was thinking. A cheap RF receiver should be able to receive a wifi signal, and to be honest, I don't really know what kind of signals the 3ds is capable of sending beyond wifi and infrared. The "syncing" thing is the only thing that makes me question that setup.

RF is not WiFi compatible, completely different bandwidths The O3DS uses a pretty crappy 2.4GHz b/g WiFi antenna (not even n? C'mon Nintendo...). The N3DS supposedly has a better chip (probably supporting n).

oh yeah, there are regulations about such things. I mean wifi and bluetooth are just specialized RF, so it's just not done because of interference or power requirements or something? To be honest, I'm completely out of my depths when it comes to regulations and legal restrictions and licensing and the like, I just know the sciency parts.

 

[Sliter]

nice that they don't say how it works actually I was wiating for at least a hint

Wat is a z pokemons ring???

 

[Normmatt]

All the Z Ring Crystals for people that might want to know, looks like they will be random blind bags to the physical ones

 

[dimmidice]

Someone here mentioned it might respond to the sound of the 3DS. seems the simplest solution. Sure it won't work if you have the sound turned off, but with no sound it kinda defeats the purpose of the Z moves0

Why would you buy a 3DS?

 

[Hamstermascot]

1. Its a hunk of expensive plastic
2. Its really a bracelet/bangle not a ring
3. It vibrates when you use a Z-move in game. Yippee
4. Yokai watch rip off

hehe, a cock ring.

 

[Something whatever]

it wont fit most adult, anyway

 

[CeeDee]

I'll buy a Popplio plush.

Right after I buy plushies for all my other Pokemon...
