Nintendo takes Pokemon X/Y offline.
I received the following message when I attempted to play an online match in Pokemon X today at approximately 2:30 PST:
Error Code 001-0811
The Server is undergoing maintenance.
Please try again later.
It's pretty obvious that Nintendo's catering to players in Japan, because they took that series offline while most people in that region aren't playing that game. For reference, here's a list showing when Nintendo took Pokemon X and Pokemon Y's servers offline:
-
7:30 AM in Tokyo, Japan
-
2:30 PM in California, United States
-
5:30 PM in New York, United States
-
10:30 PM in London, England
A majority of the Pokemon players in the United States and Europe was at home when Nintendo took those games offline. Why not take those games offline when most of Japan are at school or work?
