The official Pokémon GTS website has posted a notice that it will close at 11:00 a.m. PST on September 14th, 2010. With Pokémon Black and White being released a few days later in Japan and the coinciding launch of the new Pokémon Global Link website, the closure of the Pokémon GTS website seemed imminent. Below is the post from the official site.
