Centralizing Skannerz Fans
Good morning/afternoon/evening, whenever you are reading this!
I want to centralize our fandom somewhere so we can easily be notified of things.
The best idea I have right now is a Discord server. At least we could send messages back and form. Does Fandom have messaging?
Anyways, if you are interested, please leave a discord name/info OR an alternative idea for somewhere to centralize, and maybe we can breathe some life into Skannerz.
I will post here once I have the server made, unless someone/something else comes up and things shift.
Until then leave messages or contact info on this blog post :)
Happy Skanning!
Skannerz: Reintegration in 2021+
Hello!
Here are my ideas on how to bring back Skannerz.
Bring back the handhelds. I don't think an app is a good idea, we are already saturated with apps for this, that, our bidets, our ice makers....
Just improve the original code, or!
Make the code public etc (I work tech but don't know how this would work) so that we nerds/geeks/enthusiasts could build our own Skannerz with raspberry pis or some other kind of prefab kit/make your own hobby thing.
This would open up a lot of potential for the community if we could make our own skanner and install the program. I bet people would even hack and modify it to make new monsters. Add all the monsters from previous generations, all items etc, balance it out, yadda yadda.....
Also a movie. Bring back …
Skannerz - A New Age
Good morning/afternoon/evening!
To keep this short and sweet, I recently acquired:
- OG 3
- Commander
- Racing
My Zendra needs a new battery cable but otherwise I have been working with the Commander the most.
In fact, I have been harvesting barcodes and remaking them for general purposes, as I have not been able to find ANY barcodes online for Commander. Well, excluding the instruction manuals. For the sake of this journey, I am collecting barcodes because I don't have the book of all barcodes, and it's also more fun to build it myself, like a pokedex. I have a google doc started, maybe we can talk about centralizing the information?
I have some ideas of how things could be revamped a bit to get Skannerz somewhat potentially back into the world. …
Reinvigorating Skannerz Interest!
I’ve been playing on my phone, tablet and computer for years now, and I just found my interest in Skannerz all over again. How do we go about getting other people interested in this piece of the past that made us want to scan barcodes for whatever creatures we could find, capture and fight to save our world? It’s been so long.
All hands on deck!
Hello Skannerz Community!
I had the pleasure of recently discovering my old Pataak tribe Skannerz from when I was a kid, and realized how great of an asset it is to combat quarantine life. Rather than sitting and playing video games or watching TV, I've been running around my apartment trying to scan every barcode I can get my hands on.
I think this toy deserves a more active community than it currently has, so if you've stumbled across this page, leave a reply and let's try to build out this webpage and our community at large! I have access to all 42 of my original Pataak tribe trading cards, so I'll slowly be updating the Pataak page with the attack names over the coming days and weeks, but I need an Ujalu and a Zendra representative to sh…
Back
So school is finally over and I have time to add to the wiki. I'm not sure how much I will actually be adding but stuff should start trickling in soon.
FINALS
So finally are coming up pretty soon, going to take a short break from editting (should be back on around the 20th) still going to keep an eye on the wiki to make sure nothing gets vandalized but you wouldn't see many changes from me until after school ends. then I'll probably do a boat load of edits! Until then I'm going to try and pick Commander back up, got a second one so I can try and learn from a human vs human battle, should teach me twice as fast. Until then see you all in a few weeks.

Monster Cards!
Just got the majority of Zendra and Ujalu monster cards, I think each are missing like 6. but it also came with 3 exile monster cards so that's awesome. the exiles are Techumsa, Visionary, and Voodoo.
Just got Skannerz Racerz
Just like the titles says I now own a Skannerz Racerz and can start adding more to the wiki about that particular device. I haven't played it much yet but from what I can tell it seems very simple, once I dive in I can actually start saying things.
I haven't started playing Commando yet so can't say to much about that either at the moment but hopefully I will get to that soon as well.
I will be making a boatload of changes pretty soon, I even have a few new pictures to add but I'm going to have to save them for another time because I need to be getting to bed. So tomorrow (hopefully) the wiki will be ripe with new pictures and information!
until then, goodnight.

Comics, monster tiles, or commanders sercet barcodes. HELP
To anyone who might be listening there is simply some information I can't find and anyone who has the following please send them to me somehow. examples are things like photos of the Skannerz comics or barcodes with the Skannerz Commanders secret creatures. Also some information on how one would have gotten the secret monsters or Shard and Siphon from the Exile monsters.

Commander is Crazy!
Just got my Commander and gave it a try. Man the battles are complicated, I have no idea how to pick attacks or use items, and the weird number scroll thing makes no sense. Seriously if anyone is reading this who has the manual, is there any explaination, I've tried and tried and can't figure it out.
Working with the items seems easy though, they are nearly identical in use, mostly different in image (of course thats speculation since I CAN'T USE THEM). Apparently some monsters can get stronger by scanning barcodes, have to figure out what that does as well.
I'll keep trying see where it gets me.

Lost on Zendra
So I lost the bid on the Zendra Skannerz, so it might be a while before I find another. I'll continue my work with Pataak, Ujalu, and Comander. I already have the monster images for Zendra so I can work with that for now.

Might be completing the set
My Skannerz Comander hasn't arrived yet, but it should be here soon, also ordered a Ujalu Skannerz, and an auction on a Zendra will be ending soon, If I get that one as well my collection of the first four will be complete!
not sure if I'm going to bother with Skannerz Racers or Orbz, if anyone is interested in making pages for those feel free, I currently have zero knowledge on them.
I'm currently working on transcribing the monster and item pictures from my Pataak Skanner, its hard work especially the items since the item name insists on flashing across the screen every 3 seconds. I already have the Exile monsters drawn out, but I'm waiting to get all of their stats before giving them their own page with the completed picture.
I hope someon…
Skannerz Comander
Just picked myself up a Skannerz Comander, should be in the mail soon. Which means I can finally start adding information about it to the wiki! I can't find much about it on the internet, will have to do more research by myself. Could be fun, like exploring a long deserted island.
I still don't have a Zendra or Ujalu original Skanner, so my work with those can only go so far, doing my best.

Having trouble editting a few pages
recently I decided to take the Skannerz Wiki under my wing. I have a soft spot in my hard for old competitive games only a small amount of people play.
The problem is the home page and the page entitled 'Skannerz' are both empty and locked. I've been doing work around this but it is stll a pressing issue.
It would be nice if anyone could provide any advice for dealing with this issue.
Thanks,
Scarecr0w
