It doesn't affect me too much either, but it's still sad that it's the end of an era. :(
Yeah, I didn't plan on using wifi in gen 4 or 5 but it is still sad knowing you can't anymore. Not having the option. :(

and i will love to see that day
that day is mine

I will love Nintendo and Gamefreak if they bring back Battle Frontier. Hands down it's one of my favourite parts of the 4th generation and I'm happy even if they were to bring that back from 4th gen rather than Emeralds, which would still be nice I know a lot of people liked that. I loved being able to train the most trash Pokemon in existence and not be judged for running it because it was fun. You wanna run your trashy Pinsir which isn't really suited for VGC but still wanna do it because it's fun, go for it. You wanna run amazing CB Volbeat then go for it.

Tbh I just want the connectivity online with those features back for all the facilities, it's boring having todo multi battles locally especially when you don't know who actually plays Pokemon.

I've had confirmation of this before, but just to make sure, transfering to gen 3 to 4 and 4 - 5 won't be effected, right?
Three to four and four to five are both done locally, so no they will not be affected. Neither will transferring from five to six.

But this brings me to a question: if this (internet shutting down for good) happens with the 3DS (which i'm sure it will, even if not for some years), does that mean Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter would no longer be usable? That would be an odd idea to consider...

May someday resurface in full. We'll see what happens down the road!

Yes, but since these servers are owned by Nintendo and not an outside company, the chance of that happening while these games are anywhere close to relevant is nil. Of course, transferring from Gen 3 to ... 10 or whatever will be halted.

Nintendo mentioned handing down Pokémon to your children with Pokémon Bank, lol. I think we're safe for a while.

Spent the day downloading boxes of mons off pokecheck. Pretty sure I got all the Dittos I'll need for a lifetime. And got tons of pretty ball rare females to keep in case I can't ever find them in the future. Just wait, tomorrow I'll remember something I missed and it'll be too late. :(

Also it's past 4 am and I still can't sleep hnnnng I hate insomnia.

I wish that my 2000th post could be coming on a more joyous occasion, but instead it comes on the day Wifi for the DS shut down. As such I feel it appropriate to say a few words.

The advent of the DS brought us together. The ability to trade over the internet was new and it led to the creation of this forum. Trade Corner owes its existence to the DS. It's sad to see that it won't follow us into the future of trading, but gen 6 takes all the lessons of previous games and improves it significantly. At the same time, we are losing features. No more fun emoticons. No more picking 3 Pokemon to trade from. No more Pokecheck, unless they finally get their crap together. No more trading for people who can't afford a 3DS.

As I said earlier in this thread, it was DS wifi trading that brought me to Pokecommunity in the first place. I've brought it up a few times in the past, but if I hadn't needed that Vullaby I would be living a very different life most likely. I might have gone insane a long time ago in fact.

Goodbye, DS Nintendo Wifi. You will be missed but never forgotten. o7

Wow. It really is the end of an era. We've come a long way since the introduction of wifi in gen 4, and I'm sad to see it go. I was hoping they wouldn't take down Wi-Fi until later in the day (just got out of an exam, and wanted to get some more stuff off of Pokecheck before the shutdown). At least I got a lot of the stuff I needed, and hopefully I can get the rest of the dream ball Pokémon and other things I was hoping to send through from trades, if need be. And I can trade with myself on the older games, so at least that element isn't an issue.

Still, the whole thing does make me worry about a gen 6 wifi shutdown at some point, and perhaps not as far off as I had originally thought.

I've personally haven't used gen four Wi-Fi all that much, aside from the occasional battle I used to have with people. :P Definitely sucks to see it go, but I won't really be affected by it.
But it was gen 5 WiFi as well and that was used by a lot of us u_u

It pretty much kicked Pokecheck to the dirt haha -- at least I can upload and download .pkm files still, though.
High fives! Go Save Dongles! Gen 5 is not completely useless to us, haha! >:)
