The 3DS’ network function will undergo maintenance very soon. In fact, by the time you are probably reading this, the Nintendo eShop will be offline. Once the maintenance ends at around 5AM for the UK, or Monday night for the US, an update for the 3DS will go live shortly after.
This update contains two major features. First, it allows you to create a Nintendo Network ID (NNID) similar to that of the Wii U. Second, it will allow you to post to Miiverse communities using a specialised app contained within the system update.
If you have a Wii U, you can register your existing NNID on your 3DS. Be warned that only one NNID can be coupled to a 3DS. If you don’t have a Wii U, you can choose your new moniker on the 3DS itself. The NNID will eventually replace friend codes, with details yet unconfirmed. It is currently unknown if you still have to exchange friend codes or that your NNID will be linked to your friend code. Older games will also still probably rely on friend code interactions when viewing your in-game friend lists.
Miiverse is like Facebook for games, giving you to chance to share drawings and screenshots (for supported games). You can browse people’s timelines and ‘Yeah’ (like) them as you wish. Major games will feature a community in which you can discuss everything related to that game. It is expected that Pokémon X & Y will receive their own community. Even if you are in-game, you can always go to Miiverse by pressing the Home button and clicking on the Miiverse icon.
This updates will also merge your Wii U and 3DS eShop wallet. However, know that this still doesn’t count as a real account system and your purchases are still tied to your console instead of your NNID. This may change in the future however, with this update laying the foundation.
So, once you wake up tomorrow (or if you stay up late), check your 3DS for the new system update! Let’s hope we’ll still see you around here then :).
Note: I’m not responsible for you waking early and the update still not being available. I have no idea of when the update will really hit. It may face a half day delay. Blame Emily Rogers in case that happens.
~Daedardus~ (yes, still alive)
Anyone want to give me a brief explanation as to what miiverse is? Everyone seems to be pretty excited about it.
It’s like another social media type thing of different game communities.
If I can use hashtags, I’m using it.

This but for the 3ds
Gonna go to sleep now. Got a big day ahead of me! Love you all lots night!
Gotta go sleep
I have to start brainstorming for my PokeJungle article while managing homework and fitting in winter training for Track sprinting. And I have to get at least a couple minutes of gameplay in each day so I don’t go completely insane. And I have to visit PokeJungle each day, this place is my second home!
I’ll be dead by Christmas at this rate.
REMEMBER TO WEAR A COAT!
Came back from training an hour ago, didn’t use gloves, have frozen hands.
Dem ice types will do a ton of damage to yo wings. Always wear an assault vest!
I have to do my PJN article as well! I’m stumped as to what to write about.
i hope for the hoenn sequel(if they decide to make sequels) they introduce a counterpart for sharpedo, a water/fairy or pyschic dolphin pokemon
From a piranha?
no, it would be a new line a bottle like pokemon for first stage and a fully evolved dolphin with no fin to fit as a counterpart for sharpedo
Ah. Okay. That makes more sense.
Mega Milotic?
Does anyone else see whats wrong with the name “sharpedo” I’m sorry I saw it and now I cant unsee it
SharPedobear
STAHP
Now I can’t unsee it, thanks Mr. Handsome.
Sharpedophile 😀
Fros(May)ass’
Cofagrigus
Shame on you Game Freak!
subliminal messages. Just like in sponge bob when he gave gary the soaps and said “dont drop ’em”
We needsta get more Fire starter designs in .-.
I should work on that Fire Tiger
Yes, we only have like 5 starter sumbissions for fire. (2 of them are my own)
Fire/Steel tapir!
Sounds cool but how would it not look like Hypno or Emboar xD
Picture this: rusty pipe snout, junk metal, all over a layer of half-molten magma.
Interesting
Fire/Grass minotaur!
But we needsta get designs,
I’m workin on it XD got finals this week 🙁
I have that next week ._.
Fire/Grass?
Kinda weird for a Starter
I have an idea for the trio of starters, to make them more balanced and so even if one of your rivals pokemon is weak to yours it can still be competitive,
Water/Fire
Fire/Grass
Grass/Water
SO like a double circle 😛
For the final evo. It doesn’t sound like a suiting type for a minotaur but designs can change opinions :3
It was originally going to be a bull like tauros with a mane made of fire, and roots coming out of its legs, but I’m gonna see if I can make the design work as a minotaur XD
Minotaurs are cooler xD
Oh I just thought of something good!
Think of a bigger beefier verson of Gogoat but Fire/Ground
It would have a strip of fire running on its back
It would have very tightly curled Horns of petrified Lava
but the points would face backward and the tips spewed fire propelling this mighty beast to deliver a powerful flame charge
Like Terrakion beef?
yes
Really quick sketch sorry about the badness, just wanted to give a general idea of what I meant XD
Looks cool but we’d need a first stage as that’s what we’re gonna be voting on lol
:O aint nobody got time for dat! XD
Willy Pls, Es easy to downgrade a final evo into a starter xD
Fire Dark Sphinx
Or fire ground
I’m going to submit my Grass/Rock Monkey Tiki later
Awesome!
Wasn’t there a guy who made a Gorilla with the same qualities?
I think it was me xD I made a Gorilla pokemon with intention to be a legendary (Not the poster legendary but something like Heatran,Deoxys etc) It was a gorilla statue covered in moss which is in a way a protector of the jungle.
Hmm kus the Evo of Montiki is exactly like that called Kongidol
My gorilla still has no name but Montiki could evolve into it, similar to how Phione evolved into Manaphy
I kinda wanted this guy to be all over the Jungle areas
They could always be separate pokemon, yours was an idol, mine was a statue xD
Again. Fire/Ground Sphinx. Need it. Neeeeeed it.
I had a Fakemon I named Litten (a fire lion cub)
That evolved into a super fast Heatah
Then when gaining enough experience Apolleo
Is flygon a good pokemon in the metagame?
There are way better ground/dragons to use.
But gachomp is overused and zygarde is a legendary
Mega Stoutland: boosted Attack, Defense, and Speed, ability fur coat, type normal. Anyone likey? (I saw others posting ideas and this was bothering me so I had to tell someone)
Would it look like Beethoven?
It would have beautiful… Ummmm… Scarves..?
Stoutland having relations with Sylveon? Interesting XD
Thinking more like Cinccino
the composer or the dog
The dog named after the composer.
So the dog named after a dog named after a person named after a person named after a composer.
Pretty sure you have an extra person in here somewhere… XD
People in my basement. I mean ummm….
what about the composer named after the dog named after the composer
Did anyone else see the SSB announcement today? I like it. It’s creative.
WHAT WAS IT
Steel Diver Gun from the game a Steel Diver.
I’m going to sit patiently for Cooking Mama to be a playable Fighter
XD she’ll beat everyone with frying pans
Sexist but oh so true
Has anyone IV bred something in this egg group? If you have, PLEASE let me know!
http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mineral_(Egg_Group)
geodude
they’re in my white 2 game though.
Nope, but I will if you need something. What gender?
I was looking to see if someone had a near perfect or perfect Pokemon from that egg group they could lend me so I could IV breed a Honedge.
I’m sure someone has to have bred a Ferrothorn.
I have a Ferroseed from regi, I can check the IVs on that.
It would be greatly appreciated 🙂
It only has perfect Attack and Defense =/
It could somewhat help right?
Is Brave Bird on Skarmory good?
Hold on, lemme check the Klefki’s and Honedge I’ve gotten from Wonder Trade 🙂
Brave Bird I’d put on Skarmory for sure so it doesn’t become Taunt bait.
Thank you 🙂
How much space do you have left in your PC? I can store like 20 more Pokemon. I don’t know who to release! I need Pokemon Bank D:
Release many of those bad Wonder Trades ;P I have a couple boxes left, and will have more once I finally Wonder Trade the Chespins and then delete the bad Pokemon I get in return.
The best I found was a male Klefki with HP, Attack, and Special Defense.
The one female I get has horrible Attack and Defense. You know what the guy said? LOL
“But its Attack stat… It’s terrible…
And that Defense stat is nothing to write home about you know?”
What an insult!!
Klefki
Is your’s perfect? 😀
In defenses and hp I think.
Sadly, that doesn’t really help much :/ Sorry!
Hp and sp. Defense only. Sorry.
regi did breed a flawless Aegislash I believe, he might have the parents leftover 🙂
He did!? :OO
I’m pretty sure he did, ask him when he gets back 😀
Btw, wanna have a quick battle? Dying to try out Infernus 🙂
Dying to try out NJ2 🙂
Train her up first so she gets Minimize and Soft Boiled xD I should’ve done that, I’m sorry 🙁
Breeding 😛
If you need any Hatching Powers, lemme know 🙂
Which would be better evolite buizel or floatzel
Floatzel fo sho
Ok thanks and by the way I might be making a full water type team and when I’m done I would love to battle
I’m making a Water Team for my Youngest Brother
What’s your current Build?
Floatzel corsola
Protean greninja
Those are the for sure ones I might add politoad and when poke bank comes out I might add an empolean or samurott
As much as it pains me to say this
You should try and get a Skill Link Cloyster for bulk and Destruction
Thanks dude for the advice I have always like the cloyster family
Happy to (Twitch) Help
Cries I like:
1. Kricketune (I beat Diamond with one.)
2. Drifblim
3. Mismagius
4. Empoleon
5. Staraptor
all gen4 pokemon <3<3 you got amazing taste
I loved gen four. I hated the Sinnoh layout though. Second favorite to gen three though.
gen four is by far my favorite gen, my favorite pokemon, champion, starter, music all comes from gen 4
Gen 3 is my personal favorite
I liked the turtwig and piplup lines. The games were great. It has Byron, the sexiest gym leader, and a lot of great pokes.
Krokodile sounds like someone sliding down a guitar’s fretboard :p
I love most of then unloved pokemon because of pokemon mystery dungeon
why I love caterpie: its role in mystery dungeon red rescue team
why I love bidoof: Its role in pokemon mystery dungeon explorers of sky
why I love dunsparce: its role in pokemon mystery dungeon gates to infinity
Goodnight errrrbuddy :3
Goodnight
night!
Night 🙂
Thgin!
G’night
So… I just saw the Vgx post broadcast, and…. that may have been the worst thing ever to gaming itself.
Agreed.
Man, I HATE Odd Future……
I wish Super Smash Bros 4 would rename itself “Super Smash Bros. Universe”
Works so well and much better call name
I think they are saving that for the next Mario Galaxy game
anyone have a magneton friend safari or IVs magneton
I think we should just officially talk about SSB for the rest of the night. Lots of things are happening there.
Yes. Yes we should
What should we talk about first.
whats going on with it?
Speculation is going through the roof.
We want leaks, screenshots and spoilers
I still dont know to this day why paper mario was never in any smash games
I want a Paper Mario Wii U so badly
i would hapy if thousand door came into virtual console
I was a little dissatisfied with Sticker Star (But it was Handheld) But if they went back to Thousand Year Door Style they’d make the Wii U sell like Fire!
Sticker Star was a huge disapointment
I mostly liked it (though I’m very Un-Critical)
I did like the some of the Puzzles and the Enigmansion was my favorite
i waiting for they to confirm more female characters, like daisy, krystal ashley and more
I’ve wanted Daisy and Rosalina since forever.
I’ve always thought Bowser Jr. would be a good fighter
also maybe another DK or Metroid Character
Ghor or Rhundas would be pretty cool
YES METROID we need more metroid characters
I’m thinking that they’re serectly making a Metroid Game with a new character just so they can add it to the SSB4 Roster
I feel that Lucina would fit better in smash 4 than Marth….
Either her or Chrom
Lucina would have an identical moveset of Marth for obvious reasons and Chrom should be a new character built from the ground up
Is there viability to Eviolite Duskclops? 195 for both defenses, even though its defenses are low, is there a niche?
Low HP.
What if it has Pain Split in its set?
It should have Pain Split in its set 😉
I’ll try it because Dusknoir doesn’t have much higher HP.
he just work as a staller so people may set up and sweep your team because he doesnt hit hard and you have to rely on status moves only
XD just gonna put this here
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BbFqb8vCAAAyWoV.png:large
aw that always gives me the warm fuzzys
I loved the XY ending it was tear jerker worthy ^.^
I just realized that the ultimate weapon built by AZ has the same shape as his Floette’s flower
I’m surprised that GameFreak haven’t made a Eye Laser move yet
In Pokemon: Origins, Snorlax’s Hyper Beam shoots out of its eyes…
zactly
K, I made it back home 😀
You bred a perfect Aegislash right?
LOL, we just asked the same thing XD
It’s scary xD
are you sure you guys aren’t the same person? :p or wait twins XD
We’re not the same person xD It’d be awesome if we were related though xD Maybe he really is a long lost brother lolol xD
Shhhh its okay you are secretly brothers that were adopted and got lost on the road of life lol XD doesn’t have to be blood you guys are heart brothers ^.^ you really seem like you could be brothers
I keep repeating the same words lol I get annoyed at myself when I do that
The truth is coming out…
When we were born, Alakazam used its psychic powers to control our minds and telepathically connect us. We are twins!
That explains it!
Now where’s Tales? LOL
LOL!
It leveled up (Lv.2) 😀
Tales has to know this new found knowledge!
That she does xD It’s the truth!
Yup. Nothing but the truth xD
I found a female with perfect HP, Atk, Defense, and Speed. Should I replace the mom?
And the other female has HP, Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, right? I’d stick with the first female for now, the only thing you’d be swapping is Defense for Special Defense 😛
A lot of them (the offspring) have horrible Defense though :/
She will be thrilled xD I know I was it came from no where
Wait a minute! I just found a male with Atk, Defense, Sp. Atk, Sp. Def and Speed! Should I breed them together?
Yes! You’ll at least get rid of the one with horrible Defense 🙂 Forgot about that.
So I have a female (Has Hidden Ability):
31/31/31/X/X/31
A male (No Hidden Ability):
X/31/31/31/31/31
Another male (Has Hidden Ability):
31/31/31/X/31/31
Which one do I use?
The male with no Hidden Ability. It has Special Attack.
The truth was finally set free run towards each other in slow mo :p ‘Jordin I finally found you’ ‘No TC we found each other’ cries such a beautiful beginning I feel like I’m writing a fanfic…….It all started when Alakazam descended upon 2 unsuspecting boys they were startled,scared but had no where to hide okay I will stop for now XD
That was actually interesting! :O Tell us more! 😀
Alakazam slowly approaches with a sinister grin on his face just then TC gathers his courage and stands proudly in front of Jordin “you will have go through me to get my brother you fiend’ but sadly Tcs attempts had no effect on the crazed wild Alakazam
Jordin I’m seriously considering writing a short story about this it will more than likely not be the best since I never wrote anything besides quotes and poetry but I had an empathy XD you created a monster
The truth it has been finally revealed rejoice Jordin TC maybe Hypno kidnapped you didn’t he steal kids xD I forgot
Welcome back!! :DD
You bred a flawless Aegislash right? Any chance you have the parents? 😀
😛
Well, it’s flawless but not in the way that you would think xD
I have been thinking about breeding a Honedge but never got around to it. Which is better for Aegislash? Physical or Special?
I liked a blend of physical and special. Really depends on how you use it! If you find yourself using Shadow Sneak more often, then go physical. If you find yourself using Shadow Ball more often then go Special! I like versatility, so I prefer mixed.
I know what I’m going to do 🙂
Could I borrow the parents pwetty pwease??
I’m using them at the moment for breeding so probably not today. Maybe another time!
Okay, well thanks 🙂
I hope you don’t think I’m trying to mimic your team XD
Oh I don’t mind if you mimic my team! I’d love to face my own team! xD
You just happen to use cool Pokemon xD
I would need ice types then XD
LOLOLOLOL I totally missed that the first time I read your comment.
I see you’re getting into the holiday spirit.
And welcome back! Where are my manners xD
Why thank you young lad! XD
Rude TC rude XD
Regi xD
Welcome back to the land of dreams and Pokeland where all of your wishes come true n.n
Hello! Mew! Sorry I had to leave abruptly otherwise I would miss my train. xD
No need to be sorry 🙂 good to see you
WHY WAS ODD FUTURE (Tyler the creator and his crew of morons) AT THE VGX!? THEY MADE SOMETHING THAT ALREADY SUCKED SUCK EVEN MORE!
well I’m tired
Night Y’all
Night!
Night 🙂
Day
Bai
Characters I want back in SSB: Mewtwo
Characters I want removed in SSB:
Jigglypuff, Wolf
Characters I want in SSB:
Daisy, Rosalina, Toad, Blaziken, Knuckles, Miis (maybe Reggie’s mii as a secret character) and others that I can’t think of right now.
where is typhlosion
Typhlosion in a pokeball maybe
Grovyle.
Besides pokemon
Oh, I don’t care about any other characters then. As long as Ness is back in the game. Which he should be, one of the originals.
Wolf stays, Mewtwo returns, Jiggly goes, I want Palutena and maybe a female Fire Emblem representative 😀
More females for sure
I want Chrom or Lucina XD
Lucina! xD
Yeah! I hope they give alternate costumes (Did you see the picture of the male wii fit trainer!) Than Chrom could be an alternate outfit to marth because they both fight with the Falchion
I did! 😀 Call me crazy xD, but I actually have this strange feeling that the game we are seeing now ooks nothing like what it actually looks like! And the real Super Smash is actually a surprise that Sakurai is reserving for E3 2014.
The one thing I’m worried about is characters like the ice climbers being cut because they couldn’t figure out how to put them on the 3ds, truthfully I wish it wasn’t on the 3ds, so they wouldn’t limit the wii u version 😛
I just want cross platform compatibility
yeah, I’m also a bit concerned about that. But the Wii U’s graphics make the game look so good! The miiverse photos are just gorgeous!
I know I’m so psyched! Onto to pokemon characters, I think they are going to keep mewtwo and lucario and have the final smash be mega evolution! Also I read somewhere a really cool idea for the Pokemon trainer where it would be like in Pokemon stadium where you chose 3 pokemon and would use those!
I think Lucario will be dropped and Mewtwo will return with both of his Megas as his final smash with the two alternating every use
I really dont see the problem with it. The Dev team is humongous and with Sora alone making KI: Uprising, I see great amounts of effort going into each version
Oh I have faith in Sakurai! 😀 Because everyone thought that Toon Link would be cut based on the 3DS pic of Spirit Tracks Link, but he didn’t!
The problem I have with it is that the wii u can do so much more than the 3ds and I’m afraid they will limit the wii u version because of what the 3ds can’t do, I read an article about Them having trouble with the ice climbers in the 3ds version, and since both versions have the same roster, they might cut the character 😛
I really don’t see why the characters have to remain the same if there is no cross platform
I agree and thats why I’m worried about the 3ds version, but they said in articles that thats what they’re going to do, but I have faith, even though I wish they could just make some exclusive characters XD
Sakurai said that customization will be implemented into Smash 4 to a more signifigant extent. So i definitely see that happening
I wanted to see Lucina replace Marth
Unfortunately they are never going to remove jigglypuff 😛
I would LOVE if they brought back Roy.
Keep Wolf, he is good
