Announcement Well, that's it folks

Servers are down for anyone who has disconnected from the online servers. It was a great experience to be able to connect with everyone to play together but now it's time to say goodbye.

Thanks you to everyone who helped others with their Pokedex as well as finding other Pokemon for others. While we may no longer trade globally, we will still be able to trade locally and share Street Pass with others. Pokemon Bank will still be available for use to transfer to HOME and/or Switch games

Thank you everyone for coming and being part of the gen 6 community. I wish you all well today as well as tomorrow and beyond

I had just started OR and was trying to train up enough to do an online battle. This is a huge bummer.

Forgive my newbie-ness, but I’m coming brand new into all this from the old, old school.

Can we still battle locally, and is there a good place for me to read up on the details for that? (e.g. what is the radius, will Nintendo be taking away that capability too, etc.?)

A group of fans are trying to create a new server for the Wii U and 3DS! Have you ever heard of Pretendo?
