The Xtransceiver (Japanese: ライブキャスター Live Caster) is a key item in Generation V. The Xtransceiver can be used to communicate with other players nearby using the C-Gear's wireless feature, where up to 4 players can talk to each other using a radio-like system, and if they have a Nintendo DSi or a Nintendo DSi XL and camera function is not disabled, see each other. The Xtransceiver can also be used over the internet by selecting it at the Global Terminal in Pokémon Centers.

In the anime

An Xtransceiver in the Battle Club computer

Trip was the first person seen with an Xtransceiver in the anime. It first appeared in BW010 where Ash contacted Trip on a built in Xtransceiver in Current Town's Battle Club computer. It contacted Trip and Ash asked him for a battle.

In BW013, Bianca was also shown to have one where she contacted Professor Juniper.

Also, in the Japanese version of Best Wishes series, there is a segment called Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster, which may be related to the Japanese name of the Xtransceiver.

Trivia
