CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: So you think Pokémon Bank is a ripoff. Let's look at the cost and requirements of using the previous Pokémon storage methods; Copy of Pokémon Stadium 1 or 2: $70 if bought day 1 in North America Nintendo 64: $200 if bought day 1 in North America Transfer Pak: $20 (estimation) Total: $290 (subtract $20 if Transfer Pak came packaged with Pokémon Stadium 1) Copy of Pokémon Box: $30 (estimated price as it had a very limiited release) Nintendo Gamecube: $200 if bought day 1 in North America Nintendo Gamecube GBA Link Cable: $20 (estimation) 59 Block Memory Card: $20 (estimation) Total: $280 Wii Ware My RANCH My Pokémon Ranch: $10 (rough estimation of 1000 Wii Points) Nintendo Wii: $200 if bought day 1 in North America Total: $210 Pokémon Bank: $5 per year IAccess to the internet via wi-fi: NIA (note that public wi-fi is available in many first world countries) You would have to own Pokémon Bank for over 42 years for it to be more expensive than the cheapest method of storing Pokémon But what if I just want to transfer my pokémon to my X/Y game? That's what the free 30 day trial is foir. But what if I wanted to transfer after the trial period? Borrow someone else's Pokébank account or eat the 1 year fee. Is 42 cents a month too much for you But what about PokéGTS? It did the same thing and it was free It's not official and if something happens to your Pokémon in their servers you would be s--- out of luck F--- off GF/Nintendo shill Tear tnars

Dude, if you're unemployed I don't think you'll be worrying about keeping your pokemon from past gens or extra storage. If their servers are down in 5 to 10 years I'm sure people will see it coming and be able to get them off the servers. Don't want your kids tying a credit card to the account? That's what the cards you can get in most stores are for. It's 5 dollars a year, not 15 a month, so its not liek paying for a world of warcraft subscription.
