Yeah, in Ruby and Sapphire, if you scanned a card with data for a trainer through the e-Reader, you could battle them in that house in Mossdeep. Check 4:54. The battle e-cards he showed in this video I THINK were ones which came with Ruby or Sapphire (correct me if I'm wrong about this), but later ones were also released which not only looked different but also had additional perks. The trainers on the later cards could also appear in the Battle Tower, could have teams of all Lv100 Pokemon, and some trainers even used Pokemon who couldn't be caught in Hoenn at the time. On each card, some of the data is intentionally covered by boxes of static, so parts of their teams were meant to be mysterious until you battled them.

@LuigiBlood7 жыл бұрын
As someone who knows about a few technical things: e-Reader mostly does not "unlock", per say. The program, or the data is actually inside the dotcode which uses obviously the same tech as QR codes. While Amiibo, let's admit it, only unlock things (with few exceptions), most of the time on e-Reader, it wasn't like that. Super Mario Advance 4 Level Cards do actually contain Level Data in them. We kinda understand it now and it's not impossible to make custom cards to play on your original SMA4 cartridge for real if we want to. That's the interesting part: custom e-Reader cards have a lot more potential, and you can even make your own homebrews just fine for the e-Reader. Pokémon games were mostly just that, really. Japan has a lot of cards and potential to use, F-Zero cards were like Level Cards (that said, all the e-Reader content for F-Zero Maximum Velocity are actually included in western releases in the ROM!), there are also very rare Mario VS Donkey Kong Level Cards. But some e-Reader levels are actually included in the ROM of the US and Japanese versions for debug purposes, it's possible to access those.

And there was a Japanese contest where cards were distributed across 1000 players, but nobody knows which ones, or even if they're the same. The game has 12 slots for new levels, but I don't think it's possible to access them at all.

Oh, man, I'm gonna have to watch that stream now! I've always wanted to see footage of Mario Party -E. I've only vaguely heard about it. Also those SMA4 e-Reader levels are so cool. They implement gimmicks from other Mario games entirely, like pulling vegetables from SMB2, or elements from Yoshi's Island.

Pokemon Channel also had e-Reader connectivity in the form of unlockable paints for the Smeargle II coloring minigame and constellations for Camp Starlight.

I remember seeing the commercial for this this, Donkey Kong Jr. was on some machine and suddenly started getting hammered, crushed and turned into a card

Great job on the video, I really liked it! You should totally do a part 2 when you get those Japanese cards!

Non E-reader related GBA/Gc thing here, while on the subject of Animal Crossing, connecting your GBA to your Gamecube without an ereader was the only way to get to the tropical island. Not only that but you got your own little export of the pattern designer in the Able Sisterss shop :) Very fun times for me.
