Pokémon Torō ze to have wireless functions
(Source: Pokeani)
When gamers who have the Torō ze game in their DSes pass near each other, they can exchange their "Agent Cards" and get new hints about obtaining rare Pokémon. This "bypass function" is referred to as Espionage. Apparently this wireless function in the DS has similar functions in Dungeon of Mystery Blue, although details are as of yet unconfirmed.
