Revisiting The 3DS Pokémon Games Online In 2024 (It’s Not Good)

Now that Nintendo has confirmed the 3DS servers will be shutting down in April, I decided to revisit all of the Pokemon games for the 3DS and see how the online, and I can't believe what happened.

Even if they go offline, I'm sure the new Pretendo fan online servers will continue the pokemon games online alive.

[@KingZoroark]

I hope so and if they do I really hope they fix the gts.

[@PureRando.m]

@@KingZoroark Let's hope the claimed anti-cheat fixes it.
...And that this comment ages well...

thank you i did not know this!

[@nightstriker1645]

Wi-Fi Battles on ultra sun and moon streams went crazy

[@KingZoroark]

They really did I miss those days.

[@zachthepokemaster9045]

I’m sadden that it’s going to be offline soon, but had many fun memories with the Pokemon games, and of course the streams we had

[@YesImJoeKing]

At least local play will still exist forever

[@daltonpearson1906]

Crazy thing is x and y in the beginning had a game breaking bug in lumios city and it required a patch to play it. If it still needs that and a sd card does not have tht patch i dont think you will be able to play the game at all without the download.

[@KingZoroark]

Dang that’s actually really bad especially once the online goes down. I wonder how people will be able to download the patch

[@thewindofwaking]

Nah, you can still download updates pretty sure as long as you have a sd card

[@KazShiro]

As one whose played through the game at day 1 you'll be fine as long as you dont save outside a building in Lumiose City and turn the game off. If you save while inside a building there wont be any data corruption.

[@kieranrandle9008]

I remember playing Battle Royale online back in the day, it was absolutely chaotic! But it was also genuinely fun to strategise for that mode specifically. 36:01
Great vid btw!

[@KingZoroark]

Thanks you so much for watching

[@laudydorado5245]

guys, it's time you collect the Vivillon patterns for Gen. 6 & 7 games before the servers go down.

[@TheYveltalKid]

would you be fine with it if I used parts of this video to show off the disastrous state of pokemon 3ds' online(with credit of course)? this was a phenomenal video, and definitely hit close to home, while also showcasing some of the biggest issues the servers are facing at the moment
and also, honestly, as sad as it is to see the 3ds servers getting shut down, its probably for the best if this is what's going on.

[@KingZoroark]

Sure you can use 😊

[@TheYveltalKid]

preciate it, king 🙏🏿

[@IndellableHatesHandles]

Somehow it's worse than the fan-moderated DS online service

[@KingZoroark]

Yes the online has gotten really bad for the 3ds Pokémon games.

[@GoldGalaxianFin]

Just tid tip, you should censor people instagrams and discords in the gts parts.
You can do it in video editing programs.

[@KingZoroark]

Thanks for the advice

[@DestinyYlisse]

As far as I know, the only GTSs that are shut down so far are the Gen 4 and Gen 5 ones.

[@hexmaniacruby]

6:08 that issue reminds me of when i used to see all these people in gen 7 upload hacked ash's pikachu or some other hacked pokemon for male or female dittos
this really confused me at first considering that dittos cannot have a gender

[@GoldGalaxianFin]

ALSO TO REMIND PEOPLE TO NOT TRANSPORT OBVIOUSLY HACKED MONS BECAUSE YOU CAN GET BANNED IN POKEMON HOME!!!

[@redlvndent3043]

I didn’t even get banned I’m wondering why ?? But imma still do it anyway since it’s not affecting anything

[@darkpotatoz9899]

I search a foreign metamorph for the masuda in sun and moon pls

[@darkpotatoz9899]

Foreign ditto pls

[@3dsfan2002]

I bet the fanbase doesn’t even care because they hate these games 😢

[@marioipod]

More and more people have started liking UltraSun and UltraMoon lately. I was one of the first, but then after I remembered how great they were I saw tons more people jump on board with me before I said anything.

[@sun1v45]

April rn, the servers haven’t shut down yet

[@chicaskas2]

It will in 6 days

[@lashonwhite7285]

For which Pokémon games

[@CosmicKirby]

I dont care what ppl say I loved USM. It was actually pretty challenging plus the ultra beasts and wormholes were incredible. Never played og sm tho if that’s what ur talking abt

[@xXscreamingkoalaXx]

Gen 7 wasn't bad you're all just children with poor taste
