    You know how you can't connect to WiFi on these games on the 3DS unless you're using a WEP connection? Well, would a WPA-based setting work if you were to play the games on the original DS/DS Lite instead?
     
    'As of May 20, 2014, certain online functionality offered through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is no longer accessible. The discontinued services include online play, matchmaking and leaderboards for many Wii, Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi games. For a comprehensive list of games and services that are affected, please check https://support.nintendo.com/servicesupdate. Users can still play the games in offline mode, which continues to offer a rich game-play experience.

    Online play for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS games is unaffected by the change (aside from the Wii mode on Wii U and Nintendo DS games on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems). Other online functionality—such as access to the Wii Shop Channel, the Nintendo DSi Shop, and video-on-demand services—is also not affected at this time.'     says Nintendo.

    Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver, Black and White, Black 2 and White 2, Diamond and Pearl, as well as other Generation IV and V spin offs are affected by this shut down permanently. Regardless of the connection type, sadly you can't still connect with the Wi-Fi server. :(
     
    Nintendo WFC was shut down and also the DS Phat/Lite only support WEP.
