Online Lobby Broken?

[EeveeBailey]

I tried to do a trade via the Online Lobby earlier this afternoon, and this kept coming up...



Is the Online Lobby down for some reason?  GTS seems to be working fine...

Hmm, I got the exact same message when I tried to trade something a few days ago...

Calling for our devs... @Androziel, @ReeNormies, would you guys be so kind, if it doesn't bother you too much.... please...

[EeveeBailey]

Thanks for the call to arms, Phantom.  GTS is being very unkind to me today... I did another trade with another person, and my wifi dropped just as I was uploading my Pokemon... which apparently caused it to vanish into the ether, as it wasn't on GTS and disappeared from my box and my party...

So, um... whenever you guys can get the Online Lobby fixed, I'd be much obliged!!

You mean, uh... sorry... you, well, lost your Pokemon.....? Must be hard to swallow... have a one of my hopefully-never-ending-cookies as some try to comfort... *honestly caring offers*

Yup... exactly what happened.  Luckily, the other trader didn't seem too concerned over what nature/gender/IVs I had to offer and just wanted to give me one of her Luxi breedjects, but still....

Second attempt went smoothly, though.  Today just must be my "take two" day.

(Thanks for the cookies!)

*Use their taser to stun Phantom, then steals all their cookie on hand* *Then, proceeds to tie them up and throw them into the Spinerack cabinet again*

*Munch Munch* You never learn, do you?

My condulance, by the way, Eevee. That happened to me several times, so I can feel your pain. Still, the devs are focusing on the online aspects at the moment, so those problem will (Hopefully) disappear in the future.

Thanks, Windos.  I don't know if any developer magic could have helped with that one -- that was 100% on my end (dang laptop just decided at that moment that it no longer wanted to be connected to the wifi... that or the wifi decided it no longer wanted to be connected to my laptop).  If I had realized it sooner, I probably could have reset the game and got my Pokemon back, but I didn't realize it until I went back into GTS and the autosave killed any chance I had at reviving her...

Of course, it would have been just my luck that doing that would have somehow triggered the anti-hacks in the GTS system...


*Rescues Phantom from the closet and hands over the stockpile of hidden cookies I saved*

[Lord Windos]

*Commands the Spineracks to rush out of the closet and tie up the pair, the proceeds to make off with the cookie stash*
You should know better than bringing cookies where I can get them.... *Munch Munch* *Runs away to steal cookies again another day*

[EeveeBailey]

Don't worry, Phantom... I got this.  But, uh... might wanna brace yourself...

Psssst... Archilles.... could really use your Flamethrower here...!  

*Notices her Mega Bracelet is glowing* Atta boy, way to use the Mega Evolution!

See, Phantom?  We'll be out of here in no time... and look, the Spinaraks are already fleeing!

[Lord Windos]

*Voice emanates from far away* Well now I know I need to get flame retardant Pokémon now.... Curse you Eevee!
