Secret bases and the StreetPass function will also be a part of Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby.
Secret bases will function as customizable spaces where players will be able to set up mazes, traps and battle rules. They'll be able to share them with other Pokemon trainers using 3DS StreetPass or QR code.
Players will be able to encounter other trainers at these Secret Bases and invite them to become Secret Pals. The Pals can interact, battle and receive support during their adventures with one another. They will also have special skills to use that include the sharing of decorations or making Pokemon Eggs hatch faster. With more Secret Pals, players will have access to even more skills. StreetPass will bring new communication features to the series.
