So uh... someone discovered an exploit in Nintendo's Wi-fi allowing you to connect Gen 7 Nintendo products to the internet.

This is interesting because you can not only reconnect Gen 4 and 5 games to the internet, but allows you to collect Mystery Gift Pokémon and Items...

Today I've gotten a Cloyster, the SF 2011 Scrafty, one of the mystery eggs, and a shiny Metagross.

Edit: And the Vancouver 2013 Smeargle, and a 2012 WC Fly Pikachu, a shiny Palkia, a Mewtwo, and a Karrablast, and a Reshiram, it just won't stop...

Cool.

How on Earth does that work?

To connect 7th Gen Nintendo consoles to the internet (This works for the Wii as well): 1. Set up your Wifi Connection like you normally would an a DS/DSi/3DS, 2. Go down to the DNS settings and choose No for Auto-obtain DNS 3. Replace the Primary DNS with 164. 132. 44. 106 (However, this will most likely be fixed if Nintendo ever figures out), 4. Choose Save Settings

To get Pokemon from Mystery Gift: Go to the Mystery Gift page and choose to recieve gifts through Nintendo Wifi.

Problems: The above works for Gen 5 no problem as it's compatible with WAP and WEP Security, the same cannot be said for Gen 4 however, as it's only compatable with WEP. There's also the fact that Gen 4 has to be set up through the settings provided in game and not through System Settings on the 3DS/DSi's menu. Also, you might need a different DNS for Gen 4 than 5, as the provided one up top has trouble working for some people using Gen 4 games.

Fixes: 1st. You can use a different DNS for Gen 4 if it's not working for you: Primary: 178.62.43.212 Secondary: 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8.
2nd. To bypass the WEP problem, you can use a phone as a wifi hotspot as a lot still use WEP Security (Android products specifically would be the best for this).
3rd. Make sure you have Wifi that can work with the in-game Wifi System Settings. I've personally had this problem where my Gen 4 games have never liked or used my Wifi, even though it's worked just fine in Gen 5.

Hey, anyone got any extra Zeraora cards?

Edit: NVM, got one.

A what now? I haven't really kept track of anything since X and Y.

Yes, we get it, even though you're probably younger than me you just don't understand kids these days with their new fangled whatcha-mawhoits and their Apple Mobile Phones and their Pokimans.

Do you have a Zeraora event card? My Gamestop's out and I need an event card to get it.

I don't, unfortunately.

Is it just me, or do the Pokemon in the Detective Pikachu trailer look horrifying?

Live-Action was a mistake.

I agree 100%.

The problem is not with the movie, the problem is with you not being ready for Pokémon as they really are.

They will haunt my dreams for the rest of my life.

And people go on about how disturbing "Lavender Town" was.

[Pax Nerdvana]

I actually watched the trailer yesterday. It should have just been animated.

[Dumb Ideologies]

I unironically really like the look of the trailer.

Me, too. This looks amazing.

I've been binge watching Pokémon series starting at season one.....and I must say its definitely better this time around.
I guess the first time it watched it I was to young to actually appreciate how well thought out season 1-8 were.(after season 8 the series changes so many voice actors and loses its charm). Needless to say its pretty funny seeing which episodes they took the memes from

If Ryan Reynolds can voice Pikachu, then anything is possible.

We live in truly amazing times. Perhaps we'll survive them, too.

Indigo League was my personal favorite, along with D/P, and Johto Journeys.

[Olthar]

Detective Pikachu looks so incredible that even my mom is interested in it after watching the trailer, and she's never cared about Pokémon at all.
