Do Wifi Hubs Have 4 Person Limit?

Say you have 4 people in the hub and one is having trouble connecting, it would be nice if there was a 5th person there who could try and connect too.

No limit means fewer hubs with more people = better chance of getting a game faster and easier.

The limit is used to discourage users from using the hubs as strictly a chat room. If you notice, most of the "generic hubs" really are not game hubs at all... allot people just want to chat in them.

It's probably not the answer you wanted, but that is the main reason for setting the limit.

If you ever come across a game that needs a limit higher than 4 let us know and we can change the limit for that game.

Just to add onto that, we have a chat room for anyone and there is no limit. You can use the chat room for making a game if you do not find anyone in the hubs. But you have to be sure to check the hubs first. I mean, it isn't like it is against the rules, but it is difficult on the members that try to find people via chat room.

And yeah, 4 is the limit in most games, so why have more.

I'm not sure I see the problem with hubs also being used as chat rooms. If anything, it makes more sense as it will encourage people to idle there longer, thus increasing your chances of finding someone else for a game.

This is especially true in the case of games like ClubHouse Games (that can support up to 8 players - can you check if that has at least an 8 person hub limit?)

Request: Can you increase the limit of pokemon hubs to 8? 4 is really restrictive when you are trying to hop around different users hubs.

Well they can hold 4 people.But the Genheric Wi-Fi Gaming Hubs can hold up to 8 people

But if they are just chatting then they won't want to play. I see it alot. People will be in a hub chatting and someone will come in asking for people to add them and they get almost disgusted that the person thought they wanted to play. I went in the chat once, and it was dead. If all the people used the chat instead of the game hubs to chat people actually looking for games would have one and the chat would active.
