Can you enjoy this game by yourself, or do you have to be in connectivity mode and do multiplayer?

Yes, you can enjoy the game by yourself in single player mode, but the connectivity mode gives you access to some feature like battling, trading and chatting with other people in real time during your play time.You still have access to the Global Trade Station for the trade option. These features work anywhere in the game, you don't need to be in a Pokémon Center to use these features. Also, this is something important to know about the connectivity mode. When this mode is active in the game, the battery of the 3DS use more energy than usual. About the multiplayer, you have three options : Infrared Connection, Local Wireless and Internet. The last one need to be in connectivity mode.I hope this answer may help you.

The main game can be played completly by yourself like any other Pokémon game, but once you have finished the game multiplayer modes becomes more enjoyable.

My daughter she is 10, she maybe doesn't understand. But her answer was yes.

You will want to go multiplayer in the long run, but there's plenty to do by yourself like in the old games. You can easily put 100+ hours on single player on a pokemon game.

Absolutely. The game can be enjoyed either way. You don't have to be connected if you'd rather enjoy single player.

As far as I know, no. There are online features such as seeing what others are doing at your area of the game and news but there are no multiplayer features.

You don't need internet access to play the single player story mode, but there are patches that have been pushed out that will greatly increase stability, fix bugs, and add additional features. These patches will require just hopping online briefly with the game.

Yes, it's called Casual Mode, and you can choose whether to play through the game with it or not.

Yes, you can set this game up and play alone. There are rules for it. It is more fun with more people, but it is possible.

You have to have an active Internet connection even for offline play it will still need to connect to battle net to check for updates & verify your account before you can play, after that you can play offline but every time you play you have to connect first, if you're only going to play solo campaign offline just download a hacked copy the only benefit to buying it is multi-player access online

I presume you mean play it without internet connectivity. The answer is yes, but obviously online features are not available

It's multiplayer online only. Completely lacking single player campaign or mode. You cannot even created a private match alone against grunts and spectres and even if you could you still need to be connected 24/7 to actually play any of the game including the tutorial. It needs Internet to be playable.

Yes. There is a miltiplayer offline mode. U can play 4 players at the same time is really great

No it is not an online game and only single player but very very addicting, if you wanted to play with a friend I suggest each create a character and when the player dies its the other persons turn lol my version of multi player I guess

I have not tried it alone. But, I think it would be one of the better games solo. I know there is a very popular one person phone app; the the only reason I don't play the app is I own the board game. You may have a very hard time with one person, until it becomes too easy.

Yes, this expansion makes it so that you can play by yourself, or with 5 other friends!! 1-6 players! Pretty great! Buy it!!!

No, the single player part can be played without Internet at all. People who play the game with Internet will have the opportunity to compete in races, play deathmatch, stalk other players, and play a type of capture the flag. They will also have periodic invasions (unless they're on a single-player mission) from other players. The online stuff can be turned off altogether, if desired. It's a fun game. I especially enjoyed stalking other players, which I could do even with my crummy satellite Internet.

Not really,........... my wife and I had to stop playing it, because is was too "busy"... The game itself is fairly self directed. In other words, not free-roaming.

If you want the updates then you have to hook it in. But there really isn't updates at this point. There is one update as soon as you play to play online, I am pretty sure you need to be online. But playing online is5 really that different then offline, the only difference is obviously more players, but the enemies get stronger.

You HAVE to have internet. You can play solo, but other people will be there and, if offline, you cannot play.

Only from what've read... it is only Multiplayer (6 on 6... or 12 people) and only online. You have to have an internet connected Xbox to download the game and, ( ether Xbox One or Xbox 360) you also need to buy an Xbox's Gold subscription to play this game. No local play...meaning it can not be played by one's self on just your own game console. Hope this helps. I have only read these facts...as, after seeing the requirements on the game box I decided not to buy.
