    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    You can only talk to people who are in your general area, because it does not use an Internet connection. You and your friends should open Pictochat and select the same chat room. You should then be able to communicate with each other.
  • Question
    Do I have to have the same generation DS, or can one person have a Lite and the others have a 2DS or 3DS?

    Pictochat is only available in the Nintendo DS, DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL. All users who have Pictochat can connect with each other if they are near each other; it doesn’t matter if it’s a different Nintendo DS, DSi and DSi XL members have the rainbow pen option available, the others don’t and there is no way to get it, plus, the DS and DS Lite members receive a special sound when you get a DSi message. 2DS and 3DS don’t include Pictochat and you can’t download it. You can use mods but they may not work.
