Thoughts on Island Scan as a feature? Did you feel any incentive to use it daily during your playthrough?

Like, I'm not even sure what to think of it. 3DS QR Codes in general? Feels kind of.. primitive, reminds me of those AR Cards from very early 3DS days.

Feels underwhelming compared to those DexNav-only mons from ORAS, if I had to compare it to something relatively similar.

I forgot it existed

Being completely honest...I've never actually done it. Why go through the trouble when I can use the gts?

I intended to catch all of the Island Scan Pokemon for the global mission but after a couple of days I got sick of the stupid QR code bullshit and the fact that I would have to wait several days for the Pokemon I actually want so I stopped.

>they don't have their hidden abilities
What a fucking waste

The problem with Island Scan is that there's no incentive right now to use it when I can just wait for Bank instead to transfer everything available through the Scan. Here's how to fix Island Scan as a feature you actually want to use

1) Have GF periodically update the game to cycle out the Pokémon that can be found through Island Scan every month or two.
2) Incentivize it. Have Island Scan Pokemon come with some perfect IVs, Egg Moves, Hidden Abilities, increased Shiny rate, or moves it can't naturally learn.

I didn't even know it was a thing until I saw this thread and I have over 115 hours in the game.

Used it to get a Luxio and neither touched it again.

Its not bad, it just kinda feel weird and unintuitive.

I'm having an issue where this is not working for me. it tells me I have no scans remaining, but I have not scanned anything today? I'm not sure why this is happening, I have even put my game into my friends 3DS and am leaving the qr code scanner on so as to see if this will reset it.
>>
I don't even care about it to be honest, however I still look and scan for qr codes just to see what Pokemon come out of them.
>>
Garbage, useless feature.
Which means its here to stay for the next 5 gens.
>>

THEY COME WITH EGG MOVES

It's for catching those Pokemon in apricorn and beast balls to later breed them onto something with the HA.

Well no shit, that freezes daily events for 48 hours.

28 fucking lines. That's it.
