Wireless Adapter

I bought a version of Pokemon that had this bundled just to get it, then sold the game. Thought this was going to be great! No more wires. Problem is, it was seldom supported. Also you had to be in close proximity with others to avoid any lag issues. The big plus was being able to connect 16 people in one of the Pokemon games, but other than that, this would have been so much better with stronger support. I'd stick with the GameLink Cable.

Cable ftw. Like you said, no one supported this thing and buying one means you had to either know someone who had one already, or be buying one in conjunction with someone else. Or buy 2. Whereas the cable only 1 person had to have the cable, and a second cable got 3 of you connected.

16 people in the same room for Pokemon? Not happening....

I could see the 16 people thing happening on the playground at school. Just gather the kids with rich parents around (who bought this for their kid) for some massive Pokemon fun.

*sigh* Oh well. Sometimes things like this one can't be perfect in either way.
