Q: Increase Poké Miles yield from Streetpass?

What determines how many Poké Miles you earn from Streetpasses, and is it possible to increase it? I ask because I always only earn a single Poké Mile per hit, which seems hilariously low considering any kind of online interaction yields far, far higher numbers - I think a single Wonder Trade yi...

Funnily enough, Bob Dylan insists that that lyric was actually biblical in its intent. It's the drug interpretation that is the dumb pun.

@Powerlord Huh? What did I miss?

Powerlord

@FEichinger Change to TF2's QuickPlay just killed all the servers that were making money off of serving ads to players who don't know how to use the server browser.
