Whenever I try to trade or battle between my copy of sun and moon, after about one minute my 3ds says "[my in-game name] turned down the request" when I haven't and the other says "The connection has been lost". Both of the games have been updated and I can't seem to find an explanation anywhere.
Thanks

Mod edit: the asker has suggested that these trades were done locally, not through the Internet. Please keep this in mind when answering this question.

Check your wifi.
I'm trading locally so wifi shouldn't affect anything.
The most probable issue is your Wi-Fi. Check your modem/router to ensure it is all working. If it is, check your 3DS internet settings or message their FAQ page
I converted this to a comment. As above, the asker has mentioned that Wifi is not involved in this.
You should try connect to the internet anyway when connecting locally. I've had a few problems while connecting locally as well, but connecting to the internet while doing this tends to rectify these issues.
I tried connecting to the internet and i got the same results.
thanks for the suggestion though.
You could have been banned from online service, do you use cheat devices?
I'm sure i haven't been banned from online services and i don't use cheat devices.

keep both the 3DS close in front of one another and away from obstruction to ensure it can connect easily, make sure you're connecting to the right person.
this doesn't sound like the solution, considering you are also having issues with the internet, when you say you are connecting locally, are you saying you are connecting to someone via wireless connection directly to the other 3ds system or using the internet to send the data to space and back to the 3ds one meter away? because if it is the latter it might be an internet issue, but is probably isn't.
is this a problem that is only with S/M? does it fail to work on both 3DS? if it can do internet connection on one 3DS but fail to work on the other than it might be a 3ds issue, if neither 3DS work with either game and they work with other games (such as XY or B2/W2) than the problem might be with the game, not the 3DS.
long story short, do a few tests, see the specifics of the problem, the conclusion I came to at the moment is there is a problem with your 3ds/2ds. Did it suffer any damage, did you drop it? or maybe vomit on it (it might have happened to me) that might have damaged it's wireless system, otherwise maybe the settings on your system might have been adjusted by accident, resulting in wireless connection being disabled, so definately double check that.
if the problem is physical damage, then maybe the warrenty on the 3DS/2DS will be able to fix it, I dunno, and if the issue is with the game card(s), then the same applies I think. I am not an expert on this stuff, but yeah, experiment and see what the problem is exactly.
totally didn't vomit on my ds lite,
yours indubitably.

I currently own a copy of Pokemon y however, I do have omega ruby and alpha sapphire and both of them connect via wireless connection directly to the other 3ds system with absolutely no problems. This has only occurred with my copy of sun and moon. My friend kindly lent me their 2ds the other day to test different combinations and I have tried every combination possible with only 7 out of 20 working in total (this includes trading online). The results are (while online): My white 3ds with Pokemon moon offering a trade to my friend's 3ds, My blue 3ds with Pokemon moon offering a trade to my friend's 3ds, My blue 3ds with Pokemon sun offering a trade to my friends 3ds (while offline and trading locally): My white 3ds with Pokemon moon offering a trade to my friend's 2ds with Pokemon sun, My friend's 2ds with Pokemon sun offering a trade to my white 3ds with Pokemon moon, My friend's 2ds with Pokemon moon offering a trade to my white 3ds with Pokemon sun, My blue 3ds with Pokemon moon offering a trade to my friends 2ds with Pokemon sun and finally My friend's 2ds with Pokemon moon offering a trade to my blue 3ds with Pokemon sun. Any other combination results in one ds saying "[in-game name] turned down the request" and the other saying "the connection has been lost."
