Looks like another era is starting to come to an end...

I guess as they say, "nothing lasts forever." At least Pokémon Bank will still be around (for now).

Eh, I'm not really too broken up about it.

Even if the official service discontinues it's not like people won't take advantage of jailbreaking their consoles and joining unofficial services if they so choose, but tbh I wasn't particularly impressed with the WiiU and 3DS generation of consoles from Nintendo.

Well, that's just sad! And I got into playing Mario Kart 7's online mode during my final visit to the 3ds eShop and downloading the update for version 1.2 just to play online. *sigh*
