The only temporary exception to this seems to be Pokemon Bank, which Pokemon confirmed will still be running past the shut down date for the rest of the online servers. But even then, it will eventually come to an end, so they recommend transferring sooner than later.
... Guess I should do the replay of White and White 2 that I thought about doing before the end of the year, so that way any Pokemon I obtain on there that I wanted to keep can be transferred and not locked to the game forever. It's sad, but not surprising. I don't think it was expected for Pokemon Bank, along with the online services for the 3DS/Wii U, to last forever, but still a shame either way. Especially for Pokemon players, as once Pokemon Bank goes done, there will be no way to transfer any Pokemon from Gen 1-7 games to Home.

I literally just bought a 3DS for the first time, after not having owned a console (or handheld) for 25-ish years  I guess I didn't really intend to do anything online with it, but kind of funny that to see this announcement all of a week after the device showed up in my mailbox

So,for example,you play games like Mario Kart and Animal Crossing,does that mean you can no longer vis it others' towns or race globally?

hacking and modding scene will make sure those systems are kept alive.

If it requires you to connect online you’re going to be shit out of luck come April.

Well, I guess that's the end of Super Mario Maker 1, then. They'd ended uploads in 2021 (before ChainChompBraden cleared Trials of Death, sadly), but you could still play the levels that were there.

I guess if you didn't unlock all the costumes, one should do so now. I think you had to beat the special levels they uploaded to unlock them all, or maybe you got a random one for each run you completed. I forget how it worked, but I think it was tied to the online mode in some way.

It's a shame about the 3DS, the Switch might be one of the best selling systems of all time, but I still miss when Nintendo made dedicated handhelds.

The 3DS is much more soulful, with custom themes, lovely eShop (which is gone now ._.), Internet Browser, AR Camera (which was fun for Kid Icarus or Pokedex 3D Pro), Swapnote and many other stuff.

It may seem super obvious, but every time I return to my old 3DS XL, the thing that impresses me the most... is simply how cool the stereoscopic 3D effects can be.

While a lot of people will obviously bemoan the news, I want to remind people the hacking and emulating scene is illegal and a heinous crime. So those are not alternative solutions and shouldn't be encouraged or even nudged on.

Maybe the one positive out of all this--no more threats of Nintendo bricking modded systems.

The thought of every Pokemon game from Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald through UltraSun/UltraMoon being made obsolete is just plain sad. I understand that good things must come to an end, but it’s literally the lifeline for the ENTIRE SERIES at this point — A thin thread that finally connected Red/Blue/Yellow/Gold/Silver/Crystal to the rest of the Core Series via Virtual Consol and revived/prevented the obsoletion of Ruby/Sapphire/EmeraldFireRed/LeafGreen/Colosseum/ /Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver/Black/White/Black2/White2/X/Y/ΩRuby/ASapphire/Sun/Moon/UltraSun/UltraMoon.
The WHOLE series is connected currently — Why threaten that.
