Question

Should Nintendo end Wi-Fi support for Gen. VI games?

I wonder if Nintendo should discontinue Wi-Fi support for Pokemon XY and ORAS when the Pokemon Bank update comes out for Sun & Moon.

    There is absolutely zero reason to discontinue their support.

    I'd say they should give it a few more years, or at least until after the sister game to Sun and Moon comes out. Some people don't buy the first two versions and wait for the third.

    Firstly, the costs of running the servers that host the GTS and the PSS will eventually become burdensome for the 6th Gen games as more and more switch to the 7th gen games.

    Secondly. All reports and official statements seem to point to the 3rd version (If any are even released) will be a Nintendo Switch exclusive.

    Lastly, looking at the previous generation switchover. X and Y began Gen6 and was released October 2013, the online services were discontinued for gen 5 January 2014- this leads me to believe January -Febuary is a fair shout before they discontinue wifi support

    Don't see why they should do that. It really isn't beneficial to them to drop online support. It just makes things inconvenient to the player, especially when some pokemon can only be obtained through trading.Besides, it's not like Nintendo doesn't have the resources to support Gamefreak's online needs. Also, if it wasn't for Gamespy going defunct, I'm sure the Gen 4/5 wifi would still be active.

    I think they discontinued support for White 2 WAY too soon.And I don't think they should follow that move for X/Y and ORAS.

    Eventually, it will be shut down. I doubt it's going to be soon, however.

    I don't think they'll shut the online support for Generation VI once PokeBank gets updated for Sun and Moon. Simply due to the fact that both generations use the Nintendo Network. When they discontinued Wi-fi support for the DS and Wii games,Generations IV and V,it was because they used Nintendo Wi-fi connection. Generations VI and VII,3DS and Wii U systems,use the Nintendo Network instead.
