Damn, this is gonna be hard for me since I can't afford a badge but I can still take the light rail. Will you be at any gatherings outside?
Well, you don't actually need a badge to just be ON the concourse and the DS has a range of 100 feet. As long as something is transmitting and you're within range, it'll pick up.
Still the convention center is quite big, it may be difficult to come across me under the conditions.
Fortunately, DPPt comes equipped with tools to deal with that. One of the PokeTech apps lets it search for transmitting DS signals and it can piggy back (from what I've read) onto unlocked wi-fi signals. Plus, it doesn't require a time limit. That is, you don't have to start it up and wait for 30 seconds until it gives you a read out, it updates in real time. I did this last year, I switched it on and wandered around the convention center until I found people who were connected.
