The Depressing State of Pokémon 3DS Online in its Final Days

As XY's number 1 glazer, its very sad to see what came of them after the series moved onto the Switch. While I pretty much stopped all activity on these games after I grew up (Gen 7 ESPECIALLY because its online sucked lol), it still does sadden me to see how disastrous they turned out. Huge shoutout to BlueBerry for getting background footage for me, like I said she was a massive help in all of this, and thank you to Kevdog as well as my GOAT King Zoroark for allowing me to use some of their footage as well. :)

Discord Mods try to be normal in a family friendly game challenge (impossible)

[@TheYveltalKid]

real...

[@piranhalettuce]

Pokemon fans when children are apart of the equation

[@bluemario5266]

At least the gen 6 gts was usable unlike the gen 7 gts where you couldn’t scroll through it

[@TheYveltalKid]

yeah, that was truly absurd

[@folpaly]

Bro I used to talk to adventure snivy and he was a huge asshole, I never expected to hear that name again watching a random video at 2 in the morning 💀 how does your friend know them lol

[@TheYveltalKid]

I can't imagine a specimen as vile as that being anything less than absolutely dreadful to talk to. my friend knows him from just scrolling through the gts, not to sure if theyve actually interracted, though

[@folpaly]

@@TheYveltalKid yeah he's just a discord mod on a power trip. I'm sorry for everything that he's done I had no idea it was this big. had a heart attack when i heard his name lmao

[@onlineskitty]

my only regret is that i didnt go online and wondertrade as much as i could before the shutdown. at least there's still pretendo...

[@TheYveltalKid]

yeah you probably missed out on mad giveaways...

[@justarandompurplefox3243]

A few years ago, I returned to ORAS to play with a Glaceon my then-girlfriend gave to me. The GTS was a little weird, but it helped me put together a team for the battle maison, and that Glaceon now has the master ribbon as we run around Paldea

[@TheYveltalKid]

you had me up until the glaceon bit

[@justarandompurplefox3243]

Maison AI is extremely predictable and cheese like mega Blaziken was allowed, that Glaceon got hard carried but still cleared battle 50 for the ribbon. It was also a sentimental Pokémon she had since she was young

[@ChicagoMel23]

I hope pretendo fixes it. It's definitely coming

[@TheYveltalKid]

true

[@AzumarillConGafasBv]

I'm also hoping the same

[@vidyabatter]

I already miss the PSS. Sure Pretendo exists, but it doesn't really feel the same.

[@vidyabatter]

I do NOT miss the GTS though. Horrible place.

[@lespaular]

it will, in time it will. people simply need to just get on pretendo and play! get your friends to play with you on pretendo

[@piranhalettuce]

@@vidyabatter I despise that AdventureSnivy guy

[@vidyabatter]

While the GTS was awful, Link Trades were decent for the most part. Sometimes they were really generous too. I ended up getting a hidden ability Mudkip from one, aswell as a shiny Heracross just for giving some guy a Ditto.

[@AzumarillConGafasBv]

I mean, Pretendo isn't supporting Pokemon games... yet

[@TheRabiedRats]

this channel is WAYYY too underrated, you make such good content, keep it up bro!

[@TheYveltalKid]

thank you, i really appreciate it :D

[@projectmilzock]

I know there were a lot of problems with the online but in the last few weeks before the shut down on Pokémon X I managed to make over 10 successful gts trades with real people, I added loads of people onto my friend safari and a passerby even traded me a shiny mew!

[@TheYveltalKid]

ten whole trades? world record status 😂

[@projectmilzock]

@@TheYveltalKid it was more than I was expecting considering how flooded it was

[@InfinitumMapping]

One of the people with weird shoutouts offered a trade at random and gave me a fully competitive shiny level 100 Azumarill, before constantly inviting me to voice chat with her. I'm guessing the Azumarill was some kind of bait, like I'm meant to want to do freaky stuff on a 3DS voice chat just because I was given a Pokémon. I'd say about 1 in every 10 people were of the weird sort, this being back in 2023. I can't imagine how it would've been near the very end.

[@TheYveltalKid]

bribery on the pss is INSANE

[@ChicagoMel23]

Also lies on the gts were insane

[@AzumarillConGafasBv]

he wanted your kidneys

[@smoldoritochild4136]

At least they didn't crash every 5 seconds unlike a certain game (looks at Ultra sun)

[@TheYveltalKid]

your name is giving me dark thoughts

[@piranhalettuce]

reminder that Ultra Sun and Moon run like shit on the original 3ds

[@FranKukin]

Man, I stil remember that when I started to replay XY/ORAS back in 2020 A guy tried to groom me saying my avatar was hot, he even traded me event Pokémon

[@TheYveltalKid]

this seems to be a pretty common thing that happened on the pss, had I known about it during the process of making the video it def would've been in there. these people need help 😭

[@tim.m2]

hes gonna bus……….

[@TofuEther64]

Yeah i was there for the PSS Shift and ye it was wild, i remember there was a mf who had his stats as "looking for furry rp" then offered to trade, gave me a shiny rayquaza then spammed me to rp and i removed him from acquaintances just because i didn't care for the mf i just wanted my free mon, oh and uh i gave him a kadabra holding an everstone in return lmfao

[@dualmo7185]

I will never know if I still had Pokemon in Pokemon Bank that are now lost to time 💔

[@TheYveltalKid]

nah, bank is still functional for the moment as long as you have it downloaded. if you don't have it downloaded, i'm sorry for your loss

[@dualmo7185]

@@TheYveltalKid Oh thanks for telling me, Google just said it shut down. I'm gonna go looking for my 3DS now

[@ThePaulper]

@@TheYveltalKidGood, I still want to transfer my Torterra ngl

[@TheYveltalKid]

you'd better act fast pauly boy

[@xemiii]

I forgot my nintendo id and login and don't have it installed, so all my pokemon are going to cease. I haven't played the games for a few years, but it still makes me feel a bit bad remembering that.

[@tim.m2]

also remember gen 5 online

[@TheYveltalKid]

i never really got to experience gen 5 online, but im sure it was awesome

[@WeebGunnerPURIFIED]

based pretendo will support gen 6 one day and we'll be back xybros but right now? i don't know, we have legends za, so i can't tell if we're back or if it's so fucking over. i could cry

[@TheYveltalKid]

Kalos will live on

[@tuturu9419]

is it late to download bank and transfer ? even if the 3ds is modded ?

[@TheYveltalKid]

i don't know about modded, but on a regular system, yes. it's too late

[@bluckles8523]

It's so over for pokemon 3ds online...

Great video! I remember the good old days on pokemon 3ds online fr

[@TheYveltalKid]

fun times, they were. sad to see what came of the online, though

[@AdmiredCat]

Gen 7 gts was not even usable they didnt even try to moderate anything

[@TheYveltalKid]

yeah that was depressingly bad

[@PoipoleBoi]

Fans do what Nintendon't doesn't Moderate and have quality control on their shit

[@TheYveltalKid]

leave it to nintendo to leave it to the fans

[@PoipoleBoi]

@@TheYveltalKid I will say online is great from fans from what I've seen. Mostly on gen 4 gts because I'm doing a dtq and the community is great

[@TheYveltalKid]

glad to hear that the fan servers are treating you well my good man 🙏🏿

[@PoipoleBoi]

@@TheYveltalKid I've gotten a magby I'm using for mesuda method for my gen 4 murkrow hunt and a cranidos and chimchar definitely recommend trying. It even has voice chat and SV doesn't lmfao

[@xemiii]

Oh shit, I forgot that these games' online services would go down with cessation of the WiiU/3DS online services. What a shame, I think that gen 6's online was the best online the series ever had. Sounds like the place was decayed away anyways over the years, so I guess it's not as impactful of a loss.

[@TheYveltalKid]

my thoughts exactly

[@lukaluna1977]

The gts music gives me nightmares

[@AzumarillConGafasBv]

I never got to play the 6th gen games up to like, last year and didn't played the online until literally the last day and just did some random Wonder Trades, I got a shiny Komm-o from it lol I wanted to try the Voice chat, that sounds like either too fun or too deranged

[@saint-and-sinner]

as someone who has played gen 6 for nearly 1000 hours i have never seen people being _that_ horny on the pss. like does the internet not give you all the horny shit you want already? anyway i was there on the final hours of xy online. i mostly did wonder trades and i got three shinies which was cool. people were mainly being wholesome saying "thank you 3ds" which i liked. gts still scared the shit out of me though

[@TheYveltalKid]

i wouldn't have touched gts with a 10 ft pole after deadcns quit

[@excalibur493]

I'm happy that wonder trade and GTS are dead as fuck. I despise all the hacked pokemon on there, either being given to you (with a website name you can't change) or crashing your game. It's gonna be nice to actually make trades again once the fan servers are up.
