Picto chat. For those who dont know what it is. It is a chat program that comes preinstalled on DS systems.

Because it only works with people you're close to it not only renders the program useless but it also makes it completely redundant.

I wish someone made an MSN and YAHOO messenger app for it. One that worked real time without needing refreshed.

MSN DOES have a pen/ writing feature, though.

PS the 3DS removed Pictochat.

You know, I completely forgot that this thing existed until I read the topic's title... and realized that it was gone from the 3DS. I think what made it pretty much useless from the start was the lack of an online mode, or the fact that you couldn't keep it running at the same time as a game. It'd have been neat to be playing a game, then get a notification in the corner of one of the screens saying that someone just entered your chatting range.

The feature was mainly built for a Japanese audience. With their public transportation and the like, sometimes it was easier to communicate via pictochat because of seating and whatnot.

They actually did the same thing with Pokemon Black and White. There's a TON of wireless communication features that seem totally useless over here in the west, but are used a lot over on eastern shores.

An IM on a Game Boy would be really annoying. Better to just set it to text (msg).

If you're going to set it to text you might as well get a real keyboard for it as the touch screen for texting is just as annoying. I know for a fact that the IMs made in mobile form for DSi, XL, and 3DS would work just fine. But you'll contradict me no matter what, MOVING ON.

Trillian IM for DS would be so friggin EPIC! I'd love to sign into all of my IMs at once even facebook. It has the capability to do it so I dunno why they dont make it. Hell I'd buy it on the Nintendo channel it doesnt have to be free.
