Following the announcement a few months back, the end date for the 3DS and Wii U’s online services has finally arrived.

From 8th April 2024 onwards, players will no longer have access to any online features for 3DS and Wii U titles, including online multiplayer,  internet rankings, and data distribution. The only exceptions to this are Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter, which will remain available to use for free for the time being.
