Just when I think Nintendo couldn't get any more awesome, they phail in the most phail way ever.

Incase you didn’t read the Pokemon Battle Revolution story on IGN, here is a bit that might interest you. Thanks to Adjamoos for the heads up.

"Strangely, despite the Wii hardware having its own friend list, Battle Revolution uses its own, independent friend list. Each game includes a unique 12-digit friend code, different from your Wii system number. To create a friend, both sides have to input the other’s code. How you actually go about exchanging these codes is a mystery, as the information is not included on your battle pass. Once again, I presume Nintendo wants you to only exchange codes with your real life friends."

Like someone on GameFAQs said, "Friend Codes is not just a buddy list. It is Nintendo babysitting your online experience."

Damn it, Nintendo! All this cool stuff was happening, making you super awesome! The Wii pwns, Dragon Quest IX becomes DS exclusive, Sony phails in almost every way...then Nintendo pulls a lame move with Friend Codes on the Wii. FSCK YOU, NINTENDO!
