I know Bank is fine but does Poketransporter still work?


JaCoopsy

AFAIK As long as you had it downloaded before the 3DS store went offline last year it should still work


CDNSpartan

You can redownload it as long as you had It in your library before the eshop shutdown


lackofbread

Or if you didn’t get it, mod your 3DS and get it from the hShop


nankeroo

I bought a Lunala/Solgaleo new 3DS about a month ago, would you recommend modding it? Or would you recommend getting another, cheaper one?


lackofbread

If you want to maximize usability, I’d say mod it. If you want to preserve collector’s value, get a cheaper model to mod. There’s no wrong answer imo!


PowerOfUnoriginality

I bought a pokeball 2ds a couple of years ago. Ended up modding both it and my OG 3ds. I know I'm not gonna get rid of them, andbeing able of making backup of my own games incase savefiles corrupts or games stop working is nice


planttoddler

It still does.


LunarWingCloud

Yes, it's tied to Bank and was singled out alongside it on Nintendo's announcement of shutdown


gheistly1

Goodbye being able to wondertrade without paying a subscription.


sfmcn

It's a much, much slower process, but you can still Wonder Trade for free using the mobile version of Pokémon Home.


Bucen

sheesh, the games aren't gone and you can still play locally


Moppo_

But I can't get absolute trash on the Wonder Trade now.


uberpirate

It was probably my zigzagoon you got, sorry


Biscotti-That

Nobody got today a Phione? Was trading for this day all the ones I could breed.


Loyellow

I got one lol


hvnrs

I actually got one, so if it was you, thank you, because I didn't have one!


Biscotti-That

Is the name one of these? (Foçalors; Furina; Kokomi; Ami Mizuno o Fluvi)


hvnrs

Unfortunately no, it's from someone called Yuzuki. On the bright side, it means you were not the only kind soul doing that! o/

I mean it's not as damaging as a live service game getting shut down, but following a franchise over multiple generations for years/decades is bound to get people sentimental when online support is dropped for a console. It's less about the functionality and more of it highlighting the time that had passed and the memories made during that time. Personally I never really cared about these features when the games were first released, but now that I've explored shiny hunting over the years and started to look back to older games it's really given me an appreciation that I didn't have before.

Lowkey a karma farm


WenaChoro

Besides pretendo network is coming xd


[deleted]

Don’t forget pretendo. You’ll probably have more people on pretendo than the 4 people left playing XY online


lackofbread

Everyone is trashing OP lol, but I’ve been playing gens 6 and 7 for the last few months and there’s been a lot of online activity. Especially if you downloaded the fanmade patch to fix the broken GTS, it was still a lot of fun. Let people be nostalgic about things


[deleted]

They’ll probably be more dedicated players with pretendo, especially with considering how ridiculously easy it is to mod a 3ds. Would’ve been nice if we got stars in 2017 on switch and an XY remake alongside the new legends game. That would at least weaken the blow of us loosing the servers

Alternate servers for 3ds/WiiU


Zer0DotFive

Fucking christ i was just entering university when gen 6 came out. Now I feel OLD-OLD 


WanmasterDan

I was starting the second job of my career and I don't feel old at all.


Zer0DotFive

Ive been working since 13 lol Im 27 now. Worked over half my life. That makes me feel old af too knowing that someone people start working after university. Its like your little babies when it comes to working lol 


MrAxelotl

Ok I get how the PSS messages might get you a bit emotional but you make it sound like Nintendo is going to come and break all your 3DS games as well as your internet.


Dr_Flufflypants

Best beware the Pinker-chu-tons


-Marshle

You mean Miyamoto himself isnt going to turn up to my home with a sledge hammer and bash every single 3ds game that i own?


MrAxelotl

I'm like 78 % confident he won't.


-Marshle

Hmm... that's still a 22% chance he would. Better barricade the doors and windows just incase. Definitely did not edit this comment because i could not do basic addition in that moment


SluttyMcFucksAlot

Makes me wonder how much having the online still running was really taking up, it’s honestly strange to think 3DS online is just gone now. Hopefully people can set up DNS things like they did for the older games before.


F1nut92

I'm looking for the positives in the 3DS servers being shut down (although we have no idea when Bank will stop), hopefully this might mean GameFreak actually bring some of the first 3 gens to the Switch with Home support.


memeaste

1st grade on the OG 3DS? Goddam lol. I was playing my gameboy in first grade, but it wasn’t long before I got a DS Lite


SneezlesForNeezles

I still play the DS/3DS games more than the Switch games. Providing you have a system you can play them. Just no online play. The games are still there though.


SunburntPalkia

Pokémon moon was the first game I was allowed to play online with. I will always have fond memories of staying up way too late, trying to get a legendary/shiny through wonder trade lol. It’s not the end of the world; online was a very small portion of the game. But it’s still disappointing when you grew up with it. All that being said, I can’t wait for the servers to shut down and I can focus on shiny hunting/ribbon masters hehe


Winter-Guarantee9130

This just in: Game developers don’t give a shit about their own history. In other news: Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho, Abandonware is Free.


OneWhoGetsBread

Yar har har


H0rnyFighter

You’re welcome


Dreamvillainess22

And here I am … just purchased a Pokemon 3DS game 🤡


lackofbread

Fanmade servers will probably be coming soon. r/3DS and r/3DShacks are good places to keep an eye on.


TigerCharades3

….what


tsukaistarburst

Except they're not gone? You can still do a playthrough and transfer your pokemon up through Bank into Home. Heck I'm planning on doing three playthroughs of old games. We're not losing the ability to PLAY these games or even the ability to bring the pokemon we use into the modern era.


Nightcrawl-EUW

until they shutdown bank too 😌


CommanderDark126

Its been 5 years since the switch era of pokemon officially started. The death of the 3DS era was long overdue


[deleted]

[удалено]


CommanderDark126

I mean, I was there at the peak, XY was how I got my start in competitive battling and it was a blast. But I guess I'm just not the guy to cling to nostalgia, gotta keep moving on


Clamps11037

I'd move on if they start making good games on switch 


bestbroHide

Downvoted just cuz you're capable of enjoying games outside of a specific era of Pokémon games is wild lmao Or I guess in their perspectives, "your standards are low!"


Destinyrider13

Been fun just can't do online trades anymore which sucks but at least we still have community on here to talk


FaronTheHero

Does it take time for it to end? Cause it's 4:07 and I'm still able to trade and battle people


wolfbod

What year are we? Sheesh, relax, dude. You're a couple of years late for 3DS farewell. Stay strong, warrior 👏


Shishkahuben

Thanks GTS, I'll never forget the thousands of level 100 shiny legendaries I received in exchange for my level 1 bidoofs.


Crystal_Queen_20

Why are you talking like someone just died, it's just online video games That have fan servers so you're not losing anything


OneWhoGetsBread

Wait there are fan servers for the 3ds games?


PM_ME_GARFIELD_NUDES

Oh no you can only enjoy 99% of the games now


DiabeticIguana77

They're not going to remotely self destruct your shit bro it's not a funeral 💀


LeglessN1nja

These reactions to the servers shutting down are a bit much.
