The Pokémon Company International has confirmed that the Pokémon Global Link (an online multiplayer feature that is used to provide players with services including battling and trading) will be undergoing maintenance next month.
Now hold your Ponyta, this will only take place from November 13th to the 21st in order to accommodate the new features that Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have to offer. These include the ability to share the player’s Secret Base and Pokémon Contest photos, as well as two new leagues: XY and ORAS. In the XY league, players can battle using Pokémon X & Y and can utilise any Pokémon obtained within those games or via the use of the Poké Transporter. In the ORAS league, players are limited to using Pokémon acquired within ORAS, unless they’ve been gifted from Pokémon X or Y. More recently announced features included in Pokémon ORAS can be found here.
So with that said, if you’re looking to use the Global Link service between November 13th and 21st, you’ll be unable to do so. Use this time to breed and train-up the perfect little critters and get ahead of the competition — or just enjoy the main adventure for a change.

Hmm this seems good other then the wait but worth it.
I wish we could do maintenance for that long....
If Nintendo Life went down for this amount of time, I would just curl up into a ball, except my fate and die. That's what I do when the internet goes down, without the death part.
Meh, don't even have Pokemon anymore, just waiting for Omega here. lol
wait wait wait.. if the site is down until the 21st.. and you have to be signed up to their newsletter on site by the 20th for the oras demo then.. O.O
Good thing I signed up early..

@3dcaleb oh, I misunderstood because the site was on maintence earlier.
@Stomatopod17 yea i bet people would freak if they couldnt log on to get the demo. i bet thousands of people are making accounts and everyone who has one is checking to make sure they are going to recieve emails from them.
