Yeah well the likehood of getting mugged means that is a stupid idea someone at Nintendo had, especially in the case on kids and young teens. 

....Really?

I know right..... This guy just somehow has to find a way to discredit everything about this device. I really don't understand him. If you say something bad about what he thinks is good and flawless, like the AI in RE, he retorts in full force saying how it is your fault and you just don't know how to use it. But when Nintendo makes actual inventive en clever use of there hardware or software he almost immediately thinks it's somehow stupid. When I imagine him I always see a really close minded guy, who above all is getting in the way of himself.

I'm a realist, I don't live in some hippy dreamworld like some people like to pretend exists.  Many people don't know how to use RE5 partner AI well either, spotting BS claims that will never happen instanty flags this.

Man thanks for the laugh, I've not laughed so hard in a while, this was priceless, I mean normally this is just thread derailment and so outlandish people get banned for it but you brought a tear to my eye.  ZOMG 3DS WILL CAUSE MUGGINGS! It's like oh yeah not like the average kid doesn't already carry a cell phone cause parents give them one to keep in contact, or the kids with the nice designer clothes cause that's what the cool kids are wearing

Realism is that a very small percentage of people are actually mugged, even fewer are kids, crime rates are going down, and if a kid was mugged for his 3DS it would be an isolated incident of less than 1% of the userbase and more likely a bully at school rather than some grown up since parents usually have to keep an eye on their kids or get put in jail for neglect... but at school shit happens, but would likely get his 3DS back... that he shouldn't be taking to school anyway... also LOL at getting mugged for Pokemon cards, I grew up on a bad street and that shit never happened, but again the ones that did steal the cards were bullies at schools rather than someone mugging them... again they shouldn't have had them at school to begin with

Now that that silliness is over with, I think this is a pretty interesting idea from Nintendo, the Pokewalker has encouraged a LOT of people at my school to wear them while working out, we trade gift items a lot, and having the same idea built into the new system is great, I could see the 3DS pokemon games using this as a way to not have the pokewalker and instead the first pokemon in your party is the one you walk with or some such and works much the same way.
