I got a Shiny Skorupi from someone in Canada but I’m starting to notice that I’m starting to see the same people on Wonder Trade.

It’s a sad sight to see. (:_(

EDIT: I just got a Shiny Smeargle, this one came from VC Gold and comes packing PokéRus. It’s probably hacked but it‘s nice to see.

Online has been discontinued for me on my Moon save. If it was an incremental shutdown, then it's already reached me on the East Coast.

If you swapped games at any point past the kill time then you‘re locked out of the servers.
 
Nothing new so far, I did get a hacked event Delibird (it’s the one you could get for competing in an online tournament during ORAS’s run) for one of my Pokémon. If it’s not too hacked I may just use PKSM to give it the Ribbon it’s missing and transfer it to SV for the novelty.

Oh, and I have a box and-two-fifths of Pokémon left to Wonder Trade. After that I‘ll dig through my boxes to see if there’s anything I can Wonder trade without it hurting too much and then log off of Nintendo Network for the last time.

EDIT: And just as I post this I get a Shiny Empoleon. It doesn’t look hacked but I’ll double-check it in PKSM.

EDIT 2: I just got a Shiny Ribombee as of 7:32, it‘s OT matches the person I traded with so I doubt it’s hacked.

EDIT 3: I’m still finding trade partners it being 9:43 PM PDT but the quality of the Pokémon popping up has taken a nosedive, the last “decent” Pokémon I got was a Reshiram.

EDIT 4: Still trading as of 10:58 PDT, I’m starting to see more trade bots, I ended up getting hacked Shiny Paras, a Shiny Jirachi that’s based off of a Chinese event, and a hacked Dusk Mane Necrozma. I did get a Shiny Lopunny that appears to be legit though.

EDIT 5: Still going strong as of 11:30 PM PDT. I got another Shiny Lopunny with the exact same stat spread, OT, Poké Ball, level, and learn set as my previous one so I suspect they may be clones.

It's way past midnight where I live and at this point I'm only online for the sake of being online. Time to disconnect, farewell, 3DS.

Godspeed, Nintendo Network. You were a real OG.:semperfidelis:

With its closure, I sure wish that I played online stuff more, especially the GTS before it was molested. Was still a fun last few hours though which is a good place to leave it. It brings peace of mind that servers will probably be figured out for all these games and they will be playable online easily, but the charm will be lost for me as well as the uncertainty of stuff like the community around Pretendo.
 
Ugh, I got a second hacked Shiny Dusk Mane Necrozma and I think it was from the same person too.

I’m actually a bit disappointed with Pretendo, you’d think that they’d at least get some work done on making the main line 3DS Pokémon games work to some extent on their servers but the only two games they have right now are Pokémon Rumble World and Pokkén Tournament.
 
Anyone know whether the physical SV with the DLC has all the DLC on the cart and it’s just a game update that’s required?

I’ve been Wonder trading some old breedjects in X and I‘ve mostly been getting garbage, the only things of note so far is a Shiny JPN Doduo (that I’ll more than likely transfer to SV) and a JPN HA Turtwig packing Superpower.

Reminds me of when i got a shiny JPN Eevee in a wonder trade for a magikarp. Kind've felt bad after that.
 
I am still seeing people claiming there is a few remaining holdouts wonder trading even after 12 hours post shutdown. Bless them, but I doubt we will be seeing the same kind of insanity we've seen during OG Xbox Live shutdown when we would have people playing against one another until their consoles fried themselves. Pickings are already slim, same few people trading each other as the injectors left.
End of an era, I don't think we will get online in Pokemon this good(and accessible) when even the basic features in games are hard to get working by Gamefreak these days. I hope fans can sort this out, I'm unironically looking forward to restored(and maybe even fixed) GTS and Wonder Trade more than the next Pokemon game/Gen.

Welp, looks like fans have a long way to go if this is our best bet at getting the servers operational again.
 
My Wonder Trading fun ended around 3:30 AM-4:00 AM when I suffered a connection error but I'm not too bummed out about it since I really started to trade with the same group of people (and even got a couple of Pokémon I traded out back) and the occasional trade bot. Now it's time to check the Shinies I got with PKSM.

I wonder if the connection bit we're seeing is due to Nintendo's 3DS servers doing an initial "NNID check" on a game and then redirects the connection to GF's servers, it would explain why people were able to stay connected past the end date/time if they were online before then but couldn't reconnect if they had any errors at any point past that.

It was legit and didn't have anything wrong with it like super EV's or illegal moves. This was back in the first few months after the release of sun/moon.

Was it transferred over from a previous game (had its met location set to a region rather than an in-game location)?

On the one hand I don't trust troons in the slightest when it comes to maintaining any sort of online structural system like Nintendo Network, but on the other it seems that my assumption that there being some funkiness with the way Nintendo Network handles data was right considering that the team needed dumped data from other peoples' 3DSs to see what each piece of online-related data does. There's also the fact that Pretendo is open source.

Like @Anonitolia mentioned in passing, the teams trying to restore online functionality in Nintendo games are all run by trannies and furries. If you're using the DNS exploit to use online features in gens 4 and 5, be very careful and don't let your opinions be known because if they realize you're not pro-troon, they WILL blacklist you and you'll be permanently locked out of the GTS. There are even cases of people who never even spoke to them being banned without appeal, like how sometimes you'll be blocked by Xitter nobodies despite never speaking to them.
 
Alright, I'm going over some Pokémon from yesterday's final run with PKSM's hack checks...
  • Shiny Darumaka: Legal
  • Shiny Lugia: Hacked, none of its moves are valid and the met location's wrong.
  • Reshiram: Legal
  • Shiny Arceus: Hacked to Hell and back.
  • Shiny Tapu Lele: Hacked
  • Shiny Yungoos: Legal
  • Shiny Togepi: Legal
  • Shiny Lunala: Hacked
  • Shiny Paras from a known hack site: Surprisingly enough it passes legal checks
  • Shiny Barboach: Hacked, it has an invalid move and its met location is only used for Mystery Gift Pokemon
  • Shiny Dialga: Legal
  • Shiny Jirachi: Legal, I'd say I'm shocked by this one passingdespite having the hallmarks of a blatant hack (hex flawless IVs) but I know people have gotten better in recent years.
  • Uxie: Legal
  • Shiny Dusk Mane Necrozma: This Pokémon is to failing hack checks as Family Guy's Glenn Quagmire is to having every STD known to man. I'm honestly impressed with how bad it is.
  • Shiny Turtwig: Legal
  • Shiny Lopunny: Legal
  • Shiny Swablu: Legal
  • Shiny Uxie: Hacked, PID mismach
  • Shiny Electivire named MA NIGGLING: Legal but it has the hallmarks of an injected Pokémon. I'd send it up to Scarlet but I have a feeling Home's profanity checks wouldn't like it.
  • Shiny Skorupi: Legal
  • Shiny Smeargle from VC Gold: Legal
  • Shiny Meloetta: Hacked
  • Event Delibird: Looks legal but is missing its event Ribbon. I may just edit the Ribbon on to make it legal, I wouldn't be surprised if the person I got it from did the reverse to get it past online's hack checks.
  • Shiny Empoleon: Legal
  • Shiny Ribombee: Legal
All in all, it was pretty nice ending. I'm gonna miss it unless Pretendo brings it back. Then I'll just be depressed about it.

To the six year old boy who wanted a LV 100 Shiny Mew for his LV 5 Rattata, I'll miss you.
 
So the only GTS that works now is Gen 4 and Gen 5 one.
lol, lmao, guess they outlived the newer games, huh? Switch ones don't even have it anymore since apparently this is build into Home now?
Well, I guess better than nothing, right? I hope more people go back to these older titles and re-populate the GTS. Last I checked, I did actually make a few trades, so I know it works too.

As @Squawking Macaw said Gen IV and V's online functions are only up because of the same group of furries and troons trying to make Pretendo work with the 3DS and Wii U's online functions. And you bet your sweet bippy they'll ban you from their servers if they learn you're not pro-troon/furry.

Good luck banning an anonymous user who never interacts with any of them. Should be fine for everyone who doesn't directly go into their discord or talks to them on social media(and why the fuck would you?)

Not to be that guy, but how the fuck would they even figure that out if you're just using the servers to trade, and battle?
