It's also worth mentioning you can get most (if not all?) event pokemon through wiimmfi! It's also a lot more reliable than I first assumed, I still regularly play Animal Crossing Wild World with a friend through it and never had a single connection issue

I’ll have to look into seeing if this can get some of the DQ9 stuff. Thanks for making my brain work.
But what about things like the Pokémon GTS or Wonder Trade? I know you can make fake GTS servers to get event ‘mons, but it was really fun to complete the Pokédex legitimately putting up starters for trade.
What I really want to know is if there is any way to unlock all the event-only courses for my old Pokewalker.
I assume I have to have somebody to play with? There's no random matchmaking like in Mario kart?
Standard matchmaking does work on Wiimmfi, but you may not be able to count on actually finding anyone in the queue.
Wait it connects to Nintendo servers?
It connects to Wiimmfi servers.
Aaah ok
At least for mariokart Wii I believe the servers are hosted by wiimmfi because Nintendo turned off their official servers many moons ago
Hrm I think I'm looking into this tomorrow
