The initial PSS screen in pokemon omega ruby alpha sapphire has a blue circular button at the top to connect or disconnect from the Internet. To its left is another button that opens a plethora of options split across two pages.
Passersby are players of pokemon omega ruby alpha sapphire, pokemon x, or pokemon y detected via Local Wireless and/or the Internet. When connected to the Internet, you may encounter many Passersby from various regions. If playing offline, Passersby will be players nearby; if no one is playing close by, none will appear.
After battling or trading with a Passerby, they become an Acquaintance, making them easier to track than Passersby, who are quickly removed from your list.
Friends are players with whom you have shared 3DS/2DS friend codes (12-digit numbers). Friends are automatically added to the list when both you and they play pokemon omega ruby alpha sapphire, pokemon x, or pokemon y online simultaneously.
