This info was posted by IGN Boards member foxrmf. Foxrmf said that he came across the information on the latest issue of UK videogames magazine NGamer. The same poster also said that the same magazine says that Nintendo and Square Enix are in talks about the whole Friend Codes system. Nintendo will allegedly remove the need for Friend Codes if a game has an Adult rating.

True to his word, foxrmf has uploaded scans of the NGamer magazine in question, and they indeed say that the UK version of Pokemon Battle Revolution will not require Friend Codes. Here’s a direct quote from the mag:
Pokemon Battle Revolution, which is already online-enabled in Japan, will be the first English networked game when the translation is released in the summer, and without requiring the separate, game-specific friend codes that dogged the Japanese version.
Looks like it’s legit. Thanks to Zak1392 for giving us the heads up on the scans. Click the full article link below to see the mag scans:
