Scanners

[Codicosica]

i know this may sound like a dumb question but do u think they will come out with working scanners?

[chaoticclown]

I thinck they might. It will probibly something were you enter the code and it tells all the creatures stats and a picture.

[kyrosire]

yes! think about other shows like chaotic.there were pokedexs,digivice and dueling disks so theres good chance  there beig scanners!!!!!!! you prabally wont beable to talk to people on them like in the show but there gona be cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Codicosica]

if u could talk through them it would be sweet cause my friend in oshawa and i could communicate lol but still i hope the scanner come soon after the release

Although the foks at Chaotic USA and 4Kids want to make sure we have fun, they are a business and if they think that they could make money from selling "scanners", or if they could liscense the name for someone make else to make & sell it, they probably will (as long as it fits in with everything).

In the mean time, if you want to play around with a cool game that uses a scanner, we have one on our site at http://www.chaoticgameplus.com/chaotic_multimedia_monsterscanner.htm

But either way, I'll mention it to my contacts there.

CodeScanners would be cool as a toy, but that is all......just a toy. I see very little practical use other than for some cheesy SFX short and cosplaying.

why is a dumb question? because im wandering
too if there gonna make real scanners and i think they will

[chaoticman]

THIS   IS   WHAT   I   THINK   THAT   YOU   CAN  COMUNACAT  AND  PUT  A    CODE   IN AND  IT
 SHOWS  THE   DATA  OF   THAT   CREATURE  AND   THEN   YOU   CAN  GO  ON  A   SCAN  QUEST AND
 GET  THAT   CREATURE AT  ANY  LOCATION  AND  YOU  CAN  TAKE   PICTURE  OF  THE  CARDS YOU
ALREADY  HAVE .  SORRY  IF  I  SPELL  ANYTHING   WRONG.

One of my friends got an interview and a press release from 4KIDS (http://z10.invisionfree.com/Chaotic_TCG/index.php?showtopic=119), and they mentioned that there would be a Wi-Fi scanner.

Wi-Fi is a way of networking, it's used to wirelessly connect computers and stuff. Nintendo DSs also have wi-fi. So we probably will be able to communicate with them, and it may be another way to play online, if it can connect to the interenet.

I still think CodeScanners should only be made as a toy. I am sorry, but even though in the show they look cool, I see very little uses for actual CodeScanners.

For example, why make a machine that can only do one thing, when there is already a machine that can do that and much more.

[ChaoticGod]

i really dont see why theyd make a REAL scanner, it'd just be a toy. thikn about it to make something that can upload a specific code from a single card that cant be copied and would be able to wirelessly connect to others around the country/globe would be VERY expensive to make and even MORE expensive in stores

[khlieeq]

em are you forgetting that "It's the 21st Century. Where everything changes. And you've got to be ready." (quote from torchwood; i really feel like used quotes today, dunno why-- okay getting OT)

They do have the technolgy to do it. Itll probably be a toy, but it is meant to have wifi, so thats how theyll connect.

i mean how are they getting the codes online through the internet. If the scanner can connect to the internet, and to their site, voila, "allon-sy"(another quote, off Doctor Who)! And there, the codes connected.

[ChaoticGod]

to do that youd have to connect to the computor and since you already have a computo if u can do this u prob just wasted about $150 for some piece of junk that does the same thing as your computor and needs to be connected to it

I think CodeScanners are best kept as an LCD toy with a really large screen.

[khlieeq]

well we'll just have to see;

although a toy that kinda gives a feel of adventuring in perim would be good; but i just hope it isnt b&w LCD.

but it could have a connection with usb (that's cheap); and like the digivices it could connect to other devices to play.

it wouldnt be as expensive as you expect; it's not that different from whats already out there.

or it could be like a pokedex or d-terminal; where it's like a guidebook.

either that, or that could be put into their nintendo ds game.

[ChaoticJune27]

They could make It like Digivices,you slide the card throught the scanner,check It's stats,and Link up with a friend to battle.It would be good to do something like that since It's hard to buy digivices now of these days.

[Worlder]

Oh please why don't we use some sort of picture taker, with, of course, the necessary counterfeit measures (e.g watermark, different spectrum watermark).

When I talked to John Milito (who is Bryan Gannon's business partner) back in Feb. he stated that they had plans for a scanner and video game. I also think I remember reading something about a possible Chaotic DVD Board game (but can not locate anything online to confirm this).

USA Today featured an article last year where Gannon briefly mentions the scanner:
"We're going to bring entertainment back to where the kids are," says Bryan Gannon, who leads the Chaotic trading card and online efforts. A Wi-Fi enabled scanner, which can capture card images, "will be the key toy for the brand."

I remember this old electronic toy that allowed you to scan bar codes on foods and other products,and from it depending on what the code was you'd get a Monster from,and then you were able to use It to battle with someone else.Maybe that's how the scanner would work.I would so love to run around my food market scanning every Item that has a bar code In sight!I would definetly get a Stelgar with ease!

[khlieeq]

Yeah, they were called Skanners (coincedence?).
Anyway, they seem kindof weird now; looking for monsters in a supermarket or library. When creatures invade the Earth, Tesco's the place they wanna go?

Anyway, they were cool at the time.
