I read all the comments and I don't see why people are complaining they will still be able to complete the story with the exact same save they have now, Its just 2 online features won't be available to that save, Plus I'm thinking of the reset as more of a Race to see who can get the highest level team :p, Also trading will be cooler knowing that the pokemon aren't duped or hacked , Shinys will be super special awesome instead of being "Hacked", Just be happy we are finally seeing the fruits of the staff's work after 2+ weeks of waiting
If I understood it correctly, it's not just "2 online features", every single online feature from now on that doesn't involve using Hamachi will require a online save.
to be more precise, 3 features; you lose friends list, GTS and quick join PVP.

you aren't losing pvp (it isn't in for anyone) this update that means you won't be able to trade but we can put in that for LAN/direct IP connections. you get all the key features but not the connectivity

once you start off with gamejolt, isnt it possible to have an offline encrypted save file kinda like in minecraft?
our offline save files have always not been encrypted and local, the option to use those saves is not going away and will continue to be supported. To use your gamejolt save you click play online in main menu instead of load game/continue/new game. you can have 1 gamejolt savegame and as many offline saves as you want. offline saves are more flexible but will not be as well connected as online saves will be in time

... since there is no way to find out which Pokémon is hacked or whatever you will have to start over again. This is logical and there's nothing you can do about it.
Complaining about it is.... understandable. But you don't need to be rude about it.
Sorry if I'm being rude, it's not my intention. It's just like you and Draco said. They're doing what they gotta do, I wanna have access to the GTS, I gotta "pay the price". I'm not complaining about what they're doing, I think the update is great and brings forth some exciting prospects. Yeah, having to start over is highly frustrating for people like us, but it's a necessary frustration and I'm not gonna shy away from showing such frustration, is what I'm trying to say. I really didn't mean to come off as rude. Maybe it's because english isn't my first language, you may have misunderstood me :(

I wasn't targeting you when I said rude. I tend to try and talk to multiple people when posting. But quoting someone's post will more or less make it targeted. Sorry about that and it's good that you understand. ^^
Complaining about it is fine, just know that they do it with good reason.
Showing your frustration isn't bad either. It's understandable. Just keep it civil. ;)

Ofcourse they'll be fixing that. >_> Darkfire already might've fixed it.
That's really a fixable problem? I just thought it's because my computer is crap. Awesome.
Yes, it's a ''fixable'' problem. (How it works, I have no clue. I just know Darkfire has said some stuff regarding fixing lag issues.) People with amazing computers have bad frames on Route 41, however, Goldenrod isn't THAT bad in my opinion.

basically what im saying is if im playing gamejolt, no coop, and my internet lags, do i get booted or is it need just when u need to save? I know its a premature question, but i've seen my share of laggy MMO's.

If it lags, I suppose you'll just spike/warp backwards like you may have seen before. If your internet DCs then you'll probably get booted.

based on the way the game has run before it is likely that you only need internet to load and to save
I haven't gotten too many details on this yet though so idk
