    The DS did have an IR sensor but (I’m pretty sure, don’t quote me too hard here) a majority of the local communication was using either wifi or a proprietary wireless connection using the wifi antenna/chip.

    I specifically remember Pokemon Black/White having an IR quick-trade option where you had to put 2 DS’s back-to-back and being really confused about it because it seemed useless since it took so long to actually work.
