We’d like to remind everyone that the final WiFi tournament of the 5th Generation, the 2013 Global Showdown, has registration open for just another day or so. It doesn’t count for Championship Points and will be following an alternate format so it should be a relaxing way of finishing off the generation in a low pressure tournament! Even if you aren’t too interested, we recommend playing in the five necessary games to qualify for the rankings so you can participate in the first ever Pokémon X & Y WiFi tournament. Definitely the most interesting participation prize given out so far in these events.
Additionally, the Pokémon Global Link for the 5th Generation games will be completely shut down on January 14th, 2014. From October 1st to October 12th, 2013, it will be in extended maintenance. Between those points they will be slowly shutting down services as they transfer to supporting the 6th Generation exclusively. Make sure that you’ve done everything you need with your 5th Generation game cards to transition over yourself!
