'''PictoChat''' is an awesome [[instant messaging]] service developed by [[John Nintendo]] in [[1996]]{{Citation needed}}, but was never released until it became a default [[Application]] on the [[Nintendo DS]] Family of systems in [[2004]]. It is the place everyone claims they're going to be [[Hanging out]], whenever the popular messaging service [[Discord]] goes down, but in reality, all they're trying to do is be [[Funny]]{{Wrong}}

=== Spiritual Successor===

Thanks to Pictochat's success, John Nintendo made a [[Spiritual Successor]] on the 3DS Called [['''Swapnote''']] ('''Nintendo Letter Box''' in Europe), however, that got shut down due to.. reasons. Due to the complications of this, John Nintendo sadly passed away shortly after. Nintendo was then inherited by His daughter, Jane Nintendo.

People are always talking in everyday life. This just makes it even cooler! Imagine if all talking irl was as cool as doing it through pictochat...

Additionally, PictoChat is plentiful, since everyone has a Nintendo DS, so everyone in real life should honestly try it someday. When it comes to short range communications, there's nothing quite like it (except for [[Mobile Phones]] I guess but that's [[icky]].)

====Fighting game Stage====

PictoChat appears as a stage in [[Nickelodeon all star brawl]], [[Multiversus]], [[Cartoon Network Punch time explosion]] and [[Rivals of Aether]]. However these appearances were unlicensed and John Nintendo himself personally DMCA’d all of them. He then put it in his own fighting game, [[Marvel vs. Capcom]]. This game was also DMCA'd but by [[Marvel]] and [[Capcom]] Because John Nintendo forgot that he didn't own the rights to either of those franchises. Talk about bad [[luck]], am I right?

PictoChat was given to our Lord and Savior [[Jesus]] of Nazareth on a Nintendo DS he received from a secret fourth wise [[man]]. He enjoyed using PictoChat while at church. His favorite game on the Nintendo DS was [[Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force.]]

...Wait, my agent has just informed me that your eShop has Nintendo DSiware on it, so we can't be friends until it shuts down in {{Time ago|Mar 27 2023 11:59PM|magnitude=days}}. Sorry.
