The Pokémon Black & White GTS in 2024 is...

Pokémon Black & White had all online features shutdown around a decade ago, or did it? Through official Nintendo servers yes, but there's a way to still access them now in 2024! Today I show you how to use the GTS yourself, and what you can expect to see!

Im Jkyurex I do Pokemon Bw/BW2 trades giveaway.

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

Hey could you add to the pinned comment the Magnemite Coil? In BW2 in Japan everybody started trading Magnemites because they were easy to catch, catchable early on, and affected by Magnet Pull. They did this because of Join Avenue. Then everybody else across the globe did that alongside the Japanese players when the games were released everywhere else. It's still done in the Poke classic network

We really need Nintendo to release a gen 3 collection with all its multiplayer capabilities, e-reader cards & functionality, event tickets & event mons (translated to all languages), Colosseum restored with it's VR Room, E-reader card list, scrapped shadow mons & both bonus disc content (and XD). Trainer Hill (Emerald), Trainer Tower (FR&LG) has so much replayability potential (based on the japanese version) it's insane. There are also "battle basement" in Seven Island (FR & LG) and Sootopolis City (Emerald) that has a lot of wasted potential. Those NEED to come back and utilized proper. Speaking of online capabilities, did you know FireRed & LeafGreen have a certain NPC in Cerulean City in the house next to the Poké Mart that was supposed to give you a berry (within a set list) depending on the Wonder News you receive through wireless adapter Mystery Gift?

It works for all servers

[@JunaidWolf3]

Miss the gts

[@SnipeMD]

If you manage to get on the GTS through this method (there's really nothing to it, it's super easy to do on a regular 3DS), do a service to the Pokémon community by: - Not putting FAKEmon or hacked Pokémon on the GTS. - Placing version exclusive Pokémon on the GTS for fair trades (a Rufflet for a Vullaby is a fair trade, a Rufflet for a Deoxys is not) - If you have any foreign Pokémon, particularly Dittos, flood the GTS with them and nickname them based on your region. The Masuda Method works in Gen V and having foreign Pokémon on the GTS makes it so much easier to do.

[@TheMaskedHero]

The only letdown is that you can only look up Pokemon you have seen thus far.

[@donlloyd4856]

I still play Pokémon black 1 I love it sooo much

[@alicevioleta3184]

i wish we could get the old gts globe website back

[@costelinha1867]

I was able to get online working on real hardware for gen V again, but there's so few people playing in these servers that it doesn't feel worth it anymore, aside from mystery gifts. Also I always see people using these servers for trades and mystery gift, but I never see examples of people testing it for actual pokemon battles.

Though I do have my og switch cartridge but it’s not my og account it’s actually a save my sister made back in 2019 so still an old save but not technically mine even though I’m the only one still playing sense after she got a switch she just played her switch pokemon stuff haha. But still all og cartridges. And then I have a save from 2021 on my og ultra moon that’s 3 years old og cart but not save but it’s been shiny hunting Rowlet for three years I wanted to get my first shiny starter hunt it feels so nistolgic to play that og cartridge and shiny hunt so many successful hunts on that cartridge back in the day and on the same new 3ds xl I hunted with too so super nistolgic just booting up the setup with all of it iv had forever
