On Saturday, February 22, 2025 at 1:00 PM there will be a maintenance period. This will take up to 24 hours.
The affected services may be unavailable at times during that timeframe.

This is the second of multiple maintenance periods to migrate to our new infrastructure. We will aim to keep downtime to a minimum but we appreciate your patience while we work to improve the stability of Pretendo’s services.

Please note, this maintenance period will not resolve any existing issues on the game servers.

Affected services:

An announcement will be made when the maintenance starts and when it has finished.

Ok but your last update was incredibly short. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to post about a Caterpie (now a Butterfree), but I was. Thankfully there’s no Pokémon having their birthdays on the 16th, so I’m not worried.

Pinned until 3pm GMT on Sunday.

I can’t wait for average pretendo users screaming because the servers were down.

Hope the new infrastructure will be better for everything and future stuff. What’s this for?

The new infrastructure has everything unified, so less individual places/servers to upkeep and maintain.

Also everything is now in a single codebase, meaning that it will be easier to roll out updates by anyone on the team. We don’t need to wait for a specific team member to be able to update something.

It’s a bit too technical to go deeper into it, but I hope that helps at least a little bit.

We will be doing some early maintenance throughout the upcoming week leading up to the larger maintenance period. Some servers, including game servers, may be unavailable at any given time during the week. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Friends
  • Super Mario Maker
  • Splatoon
  • Etc.

Everything should be back up, at the latest, after the maintenance period this Saturday. We apologize for the inconvenience and we appreciate your understanding.

OK. So I have a old account I want to delete, since i no longer go on that account. How?

You log into that account you want deleted and make a new thread in Support asking for it to be deleted.

However, just remember that this thread is about an announcement and it’s important to stay on-topic.

All affected services are back online, with a few exceptions listed below:

  • Forum pages load slowly, the sysadmin team is looking into solutions to fix it.

  • The following games are not available:
    • Super smash bros for 3ds and Wiiu (tester only)
    • Tri force heroes
