Keeping generation 4 alive

[Tsuroerusu]

Would it be an idea to keep the 4th gen games acceptable in future tournaments? If you guys say they have a better Wi-Fi/Battle system.

We sort of tried that last year, and the result was extremely poor, people have indeed started playing generation 5, despite, what I would consider its shortcomings.

Outch, that wasn´t good. Maybe smaller tournaments then or "retro" tournaments, no? There must still be people who play D/P/Pt and has teams there...

Retro tournaments, as long as Nintendo maintains the servers for Wi-Fi, could be a possibility. However, in terms of UEPC organising such a tournament, I think it would be something secondary, as organising a tournament takes a lot of time and energy on part of the staff, and we would probably want to focus that on tournaments that get the maximum number of players etc.

@Tsuroerusu That´s understandable. But yeah, let´s hope the Wi-Fi servers for the older games will run so that you guys can organize tournaments for gen 4 in the future, don´t need to be so big ones, but yeah I think you already know where I want to go with this.

Yeah, I hear ya. It will be interesting to see how long Gen4, as a whole, will be playable over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Given that they released HG/SS in 2010, I could imagine it lasting at least until 2015.
