Explanation of Online ID - MonkeyLord83 - 09-14-2016

Most of you already know what it is, but it had come to my attention that many people didn't or got it confused with their Trainer ID ever since the old official forum days. While I did PM some of those people, I ultimately considered addressing the issue when I'd finally start my own Give Away thread. But official forum went down before that ever happened, and then the whole Breeders' Discord thing happened, so here I am, starting a new thread just to explain the concepts.

Your Online ID is NOT your character's name or IGN. It's NOT your Trainer ID, either. Your Trainer ID is the 5-digit number on your Trainer Card. Mine would be 54630

Your Online ID is the 6-digit number on the top right corner of the GTS/Wonder Trade screen and on the left of the Online Lobby screen. It's used so that other players can find you and add you as friends for online trades and battles. Mine would be 213850.

I hope this thread clears things up for those of you unsure, confused or didn't know what it was! Cool

Thanks for clearing that up, Monkey!

While we're on the topic, I've updated the Online ID field so that it only accepts characters 1~9 with a maximum length of 6. This will hopefully clear up any remaining confusion. Wink

Go into your UserCP, scroll down a bit and on the left hand side you should see a link that says "Edit Profile" The text box for the Online ID is in there.

I haven't had occasion to use the online lobby since Twitch and ~JV~ went with Nintendo's wishes and took down the links then a bit later my main computer died. But before then, I noticed the ID number in the GTS/WT field was different from the number in the online lobby. Has that been corrected?

I believe so, yes.

That's been fixed long since before I even wrote this post. As you can see in my pictures, the IDs from said places are the same
