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 hated event Pokémon with a passion growing up. I bought my game boy on the US, but I would live half of the year in a country neglected by Nintendo, once back on the states for the working season (my parents) you could only get them by traveling somewhere stupid like New York (I lived in the other coast). Even when they started using mall wifi on game stores as events I still always associated it with a life I would never have and didn’t even bother as I could never legitimately complete a Pokédex so why try to start now. I can see how that would work in Japan perhaps, but maybe the country kids felt left out as well.

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?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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
