So, as announced earlier today… SECRET BASES ARE BACK! And I’m so excited about it T~T Secret Bases were my absolute favorite thing about Gen 3 and something I’d been very sad to see go. While we kind of had them in Gen 4, the weird item limit (especially since it stayed the same even when you removed the all the rocks) and just the lack of differences between rooms and the overall layout of the Underground felt a bit like a downgrade.
I also think the QR feature sounds neat :D I’ll be sure to put up the QR for my Secret Base as soon as it’s presentable!
Hopes and Wonderings:
1. Very excited they will be through StreetPass! QR thing is very exciting too as it means distance isn’t really a thing :D I wonder if they will also do it how those you traded with through Wonder Trade and GTS would show up under Acquaintances so you can have a few surprise ones as well.
2. I’m really curious about what the Special Skills could be. I’m not sure how often I’ll use them, but it sounds neat. Supposedly it includes hatching eggs faster, raising a Pokemon by a level, sharing new decorations (THIS ONE IS THE BEST ONE), and more. I’m guessing it’ll be similar to the O-Powers in X/Y. Possibly even like Join Avenue too.
3. I hope you can expand your secret base–not just for more room, but also to put more items down. Item limits are the bane of my creativity
