Scouting System

Scouting is a system in the Inazuma Eleven games to recruit other players from other teams that you cannot really acquire as the story progresses in each game (For example: You obtain Fubuki Shirou in your team as the story goes on in Inazuma Eleven 2: Fire Blizzard as the story goes on where you have to get more members to play against Aliea Academy, whereas you cannot obtain Gazel/ Suzuno Fuusuke as the story goes on).

Machines
There are scouting machines planted in the Inazuma Eleven games, that tells you the current players available for you to scout from the teams you played against so far. The machine refreshes the list of players to scout every time you use it. Through that way you have to pay the machine to scout, with the P's you get from having stray soccer matches.

Note: You cannot scout two people at the same time, resulting in you wasting the P's

Stray Soccer matches
Sometimes when you are battling a random team while walking around the region, after you have successfully beaten the team, one of the members of that team may ask for you to recruit them. You have the option of yes or no.

Vents
Like those drink vents, that you put a coin in, press a button, and get your choice of drink. In the games you can collect 3 types of chips, to go into 3 different choices for the vents. You put in a chip, it'll drop a little plastic ball that opens to say the player you can scout, the position, the stats, level, and info. You have the choice of yes or no, though you will be wasting chips if you keep pressing no.
