I'm sorry, what?

So at the Pokemon Centre, there's a battle arena area where you connect with someone over Nintendo Online to battle them - just like always. The option is there, and the attendant is there to like save your game and connect you and stuff.

The issue is that they haven't added in that functionality yet. So all she says is "Sorry, but the Battle Arena isn't open yet".

Similar thing with the more casual union rooms where you can battle and trade at your own leisure. If you're connecting locally - and possibly via friend code - you can meet up with people in these rooms. But the global union rooms where you jump online with up to 32 random players have been needed until a later update, restricting 2 players to a global union room.

So you go to battle and trade, and there's one other person in the room. And they usually wanna trade, but they're trading their best Pokemon, like they're trying to show it off. Then the trade gets cancelled and they leave the room.

That's the state of the online connectivity rn.

I think you can connect with more people via friend code, and there shouldn't be limits on local connections. But the battle arena isn't in the game yet, and the union rooms are so gimped that you might as well not use them.
