Got the Milotic and Pokerus on Platinum

Caught it, evolved and infected it on Platinum

And I traded it to SoulSilver for the EV training

Since I have my EV training items on SoulSilver

And the battle shops

Did you NN yours?

That was definitely before they implemented a profanity filter/block.

I remember discovering first-hand use of the voice chat feature of Generation IV trading. The other person had a cat meowing in the background and didn’t even realize it .

It was online.

Atmospheric

Just pretend it's a cat pokemon

Also I see you still have a cat name

Like that guy from Fairly Oddparents

Oh right

Ahh remember how cool gts and the dream link were?

Dream Link, though

Nintendo had a good idea there and then just forgot about it

Dream link was epic

Gen. V Dreamworld

One hour in the dreamworld per save

Only legitimate way to get the Berries outside events

It was quite fun tbh, I wish I spent more time on it

Then there were the Hidden Abilities, EggMoves, and Dream Balls.

I would get enough points from the mini games to level up the dreaming mon.

Gravity sableye was something I got from dreamlink

Yes! It was such a great thing

I had friends from other countries that would share items via the share shelves and we would water each other’s garden for more credit.

Damn see, Nintendo could have really capitalised on this

Closest thing to an mmo pokemon ever got too, and it was implemented really well

Got enough points to expand my garden and get stuff from the catalog to pimp my Island out

I think I had a farmhouse ? I don't remember an island

Mine wasn't well pimped out, missed opportunity on my part

Some were free event decorations

The links from gen 4 to 5 were really strong and then gen 6 just died

I remember some Halloween ones

I still have screenshots saved on the Desktop computer.

Wonder why they shut it down?

Couldn’t be easy to keep the servers up

Any PGL beyond that was trash for mini games. It was then used for announcements and registering for online competitions.

But they did that before alongside the dreamworld

And frankly it's pokemon, they can definitely afford it, they should just advertise it more

I mean degraded to just that.
