Is Pokegen Going Down?

[Shirohibiki]

So I just checked the date and apparently it's almost May 20th; the date all of the servers for old Nintendo things are going down. I saw someone had said it wouldn't necessarily affect Pokegen, but I'm not sure I believe that.

So, does this mean I won't be able to complete my Pokedex since I slacked off? >: Or, is it still going to be available because it uses a separate DNS? Thank you!

uh oh. ): i guess i ran out of time then. i havent tried pokecheck yet but... hoo boy.

Pokecheck is saying they'll have 6th gen support soon[though its been saying that for awhile now]. I don't see pokedit or pokecheck going down just because the wifi is gone, as they use their own DNS's; just may be some time before they're back up and working again.

Personally, I like pokedit because it lets me get pokemon I'd, otherwise, have a hard time getting(Plus I don't care if my pokemon are legit or not, just so long as they're tournament legit[as in legal stats on them]. I mean, really, why is it a big deal if the pokemon is hacked so long as its still within legal status[legal moves, stats, etc]?

 

[Hamusuta]

rip pokegen.

they DO need wifi to work lol, so unless they get 6th gen support then goodbye to genning pokemon.

Thing is.. I'm pretty sure nintendo's only shutting down wifi for the games on their end. As in, their GTS servers will be gone. Our handhelds will still be able to connect to our wifi networks however, meaning they'll still have wifi on them. So, realistically, there's no reason for pokegen to be gone forever. As they can still host their own servers for the games to connect to[or use an AR to import the pokemon via AR codes. Don't need wifi at all for that]

I'll settle this and test it right now. Will report back shortly.

Testing PokEdit first.

EDIT: That's a big fat nope.

"Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Service for this software has been discontinued."

Won't let me further to receive the Pokemon I genned on White 2.

 

[Dr J]

Oh, I see. Guess that's the end of pokegen then(for now, anyway)

Going back to the dark days of IV breeding one Pokemon for 19 hours

Got that message too, broke my heart ( ；?Д｀)

 

[hibu_tan]

rip pokegen
it dies just as soon as i find out about it ;v ;

 

[Aizu]

It's not free but at least we have Power Saves right?

 

[shayminskyforme88]

I don't think Pokegen will completely be down. Some people have flash carts and they can just Gen a Pokemon into their flash carts, trade it to their legit game then transfer it through Bank.

Reduced, yes, but Completely down, no.
