Is there any way to get Gen 4 and 5 Friend Codes without Nintendo WFC?

Is there any way to get your friend code for the 4th and 5th gen Pokemon games, without WFC?

I did some research and came across this…https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/network/en_na/network_status.jsp

So say, I wanted to friend someone to battle or trade with how would I do it?

What sumwun said above is perhaps helpful, but if you’re trying to do it online, that is technically still possible, but rather complicated and not officially endorsed by Nintendo. It’s not cheating per se, because it’s not hacking, but it’s not Nintendo’s original intention, so I guess if you believe using private servers which revive Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is cheating, then you have to cheat. But I digress.

The only way I know of to use Gen 4/5 online features is to useWiimmfi:

Nintendo WFC was required for online play, but the Wiimmfi Project has replicated much of its functionality and allows for continued online play in Mario Kart Wii and other games.

I myself have not figured out the whole functionality to it, and itmay not actually work for battles. Finding ranked games is stillnot supported yet; I believe they’re trying to add that? However, it allegedly works for link battles.

Anyway, here’s asetup guide by MrBean35000vrfor the whole schtick. The GTS is fully functional, and I think since all it takes to get your Friend Code is what MrBean here calls “talking to the server”, you should be just fine.

Hope I helped a lot, give me a yell if you have any questions and I’ll try to answer. Thank you to Fizz for supplying me with the setup video.
