#c-c-c-changes

Welcome to October, folks! It's going to be a big month for Pokemon.

Not only do we have the Mystery Gift Keldeo this month, we'll also be graced with a serial cold for Gen VI's Volcanion.

Despite this, there will be a lot of changes as we head to the end of October, as the Global Link will be undergoing an 'evolution' of it's own, as we get closer and closer to the dawn of Sun and Moon.

So, what does that mean for us? A removal of several features, for one.

With the change, you'll no longer have access to check your logbook on the PGL. You also won't be able to make to register any additional Gen VI games to your current account, and you won't be able to Game Sync anymore. Also the attractions will be going away, so if you have extra PokeMiles floating around, you may want to go on one last shopping spree.

In terms of battle matchups, rating battles will be removed, but Free Battles will remain. And luckily, you'll still be able to receive Mystery Gifts. Oh, and the GTS? That’ll stay up too.

Gen VI Global Link will still live on, just in a minimized form. This is a step ahead of the DS titles, and is nice to still see them have online support that as well.

Bucketworks will be re-locating to the OPEN MiKE space at the Grand Avenue Mall on Wisconsin. Director Tim Syth has been working with the GMC and Grand Avenue management to create this temporary home for Bucketworks members. Their generosity and hospitality is deeply appreciated.

While we'll miss the 5th St space with it's lovely rooftop deck, labyrinthine construction, and many nooks and crannies, we believe this move is the best thing for Bucketworks in the long term. We look very much forward to joining Spreenkler, ArtMilwaukee, the Underground Collaborative, and many more in the Grand Avenue space.
