Bulletin Board System

BBS stands for Bulletin Board System. The purpose of the BBS is to check on what Pokémon Hayley would like for you to bring into the Ranch and what of those requests you've currently fulfilled. It also displays you Ranch stats.

Hayley's requests for the Wanted Pokémon are entirely random. If your National Dex is not complete she will start by having you search for those Pokémon, though which one is still completely random.

Once you are in the BBS menu and are looking at the Wanted Pokémon you can click the poster and view information on how to obtain that Pokémon, including a map of Sinnoh that highlights where it can be found. You'll also see a date, that date denotes when the request will be dropped and she will make a new request. You have 10 days from the posting of the request to bring the Pokémon in.

These Wanted Pokémon requests she makes should really only be handled once a day and that assumes you have coaxed Hayley into bringing the special Pokémon she will trade you for. More about this in the Hayley's Pokémon or the Trades sections below.

Otherwise the only reason to handle the Wanted Pokémon requests is to complete you PokéDex. I also recommend NOT using Pokémon you want to keep when fulfilling the Wanted requests because of the possibility that she will want to trade for it...

BBS also allows you to check Ranch Info which will let you see...

1. Your Ranch name - which is the name of the Wii associated with the Ranch file.
2. The greatest number of same species Pokémon found in your Ranch is noted as "~ Full of Unown ~." If you have more than one species with the same number, this is chosen randomly.
3. The current level of your Ranch.
4. Maximum number of Pokémon you can currently store.
5. Maximum number of Miis that can explore there.
6. How many Pokémon are currently stored there.
7. How many more deposits you need for the next level.
