Its a matter of principle

It was free to do it before Gen 6 as long as you had both games.
They could have easily had done it without an external app.

>Expecting /vp/ to know how to math

"it's only five dollars!" is a dumb ass excuse for anyone that just wants to transfer.
Most people aren't going to use it for a year, because most people don't play the games so damn much that they need an online storage service with three thousand pokemon spaces.
For most people it's essentially a five dollar fee to transfer up in games and that's some major league horseshit.

>>31152188
So you'd rather buy a second system just to transfer instead?

>>31152243
B-but if I use pokebank instead of buying a second copy and a 2ds just to trade, past 18 years, I would have paid more for pokebank subscriptions than the 2ds and extra copy for transfer, assuming that the transfer system is a 50 dollar refurbished 2ds and a copy of a current gen game is 40

>>31152243
That's... not what I said at all, and is even stupider for suggesting a method that amounts to being a $240 fee to just transfer up, and even more so when I'm bitching about a $5 fee for that.

It shouldn't cost anything because you already paid for the fucking games, and it sure as shit shouldn't cost anything for such a simple service that really deals with such a small amount of data per person.

But you're such a retard that you can only think in extremes that involve giving nintendo more money for no good reason.

>>31152552
No, I'm just not an entitled poorfag.
I pay money for a service that is worth the amount of money I'm willing to pay. I'll pay the $5 to transfer, and get the bonus features that bank provides, then pay 240 for another 3DS.
Free market economics. Learn it.

>>31152552
>and it sure as shit shouldn't cost anything for such a simple service that really deals with such a small amount of data per person.

Then multiply those small amounts of data with millions of players who want to use transfer

News flash, servers dont run on fairy dust

They're waiting until after Pokemon Stars is announced. The data will probably be in Bank and they don't want it spoiled.

NNID services are permanently banned though so I would have to create a new NNID on my another 3DS to use Pokebank. But I'm not getting Pokebank until I'm forced for the Switch because I can just pkhex when bank releases to transfer my mons up.

For all of you poorfag sake, I hope they give you a free trial just to shut you up.

>>31151838
yeah man needing 2 DS's in previous gens was totally much cheaper and convenient

>>31153532
Nobody said that.

>>31153536
No but paying a measly price of 5 bucks a year for a convenient service makes it much easier to do than before

>>31153557
So? That's like saying we should accept being second class citizens because we were slaves before.

>>31153385
But bank is not part of any game
You probably just want free stuff, so just gtfo you commie bastard

Guys, I already bought a house, so why should I have to pay extra for utilities?

>>31153597
>paying 5 bucks
>slavery

wew lad

>>31153653
My pokemon are part of the game. And I have both games, why shouldn't I be able to move pokemon from one of my games to another?

>>31153699
>So I need to pay extra to move stuff from my old backpack to my new one? Hmmm

>>31153714
>I can't into analogy
Not a sharp thinker, huh?

>>31153512
Because inter-gen trading was never behind a paywall prior to gen 6. Nintenjews don't need the extra money

>>31153746
it doesn't make sense as a comparison since they are unrelated

slavery is the treatment of humans as property

this is a matter of whether or not a transfer service ought to be free or not

I think the convience is worth the price, personally, but its a free country, do what is in line with your feelings

>>31153915
Not that guy, but it means that every game is artifically increased in price, making at the very least new gen games $45 each, instead of just $40.

It comes off as a quick and dirty way to get more money out of people between games.

>>31154014
An optional service isn't increasing the price of the game. It's not like bank was once free and they suddenly decided to charge for it.

>>31153915
It makes sense considering it was directed at >>31153532 and >>31153557

>>31154057
It's not optional if you ever want to have pokemon from the older games. If you play competitively you are actively gimping yourself if you don't bank in your old mons. If you are playing a game where your favorites don't show up but you have them in an older game, you're screwed if you don't have bank.

Bank solved the problem of needing 2 systems to transfer, but it still has a lot of implementation issues that need to be addressed. At the very least give us a free month of Bank when we buy a new game, so we can do basic transfers. Don't try to milk an extra $5 out of me when I already paid for the game in full, in advance, and then waited for 4 months.

>>31153741
That you want to move your pokemon from one game to another is your choice, nobody is forcing you to do this.

you feel entitled to a free product and a free service cause you bought other products of a company

>>31152827

MODS

>>31154171
>implying i don't have a living dex and an almost complete shiny living dex

>>31154182
You can't catch 'em all in a single game without PokeBank.

Ergo, if you don't use PokeBank, you can't catch 'em all. Therefore and thusly, if you don't consider PokeBank a requirement, you don't consider catching 'em all a requirement, either, and are thus missing the entire advertised point of the games.

So again, I let loose the cry of "MODS".

>>31154199
But i have bank you retard, also 2 3ds
I even have 2 banks since one of them is full

>>31154141
GTS and trading online with others who have it is an option if $5 is just too much.

>>31154218
Good for you. I don't see how that refutes my logic.

Also
>I even have 2 banks since one of them is full
Are you literally transferring everything you've ever hatched or something?

>>31154199

>advertid point of the games

they haven't advertised catch them all since gen 2

You are too young to remember, but gen 3 made it practically impossible to get shit from before that gen

With or without bank, you can still trade shit with other players,

>>31154234
No, i just have tons of shinies, 6iv dittos and all the legendaries i ever caught.
Also 2 different living dexes

>>31154143
>That you want to move your pokemon from one game to another is your choice
Obviously
>you feel entitled to a free product and a free service cause you bought other products of a company
What product? What service?
Are you saying you should pay to move your data from one game to another? Why is this fair when it could easily be implemented in the game for free?

Why don't you just not pay the 5 dollars and just play the game if you don't want to pay 5 dollars?

>>31154234
But you can get them all without bank, so i don't see the problem

>>31151050
>tfw no one gets your reference

>>31154268
Now you're just being intellectually dishonest.
Pokemon bank =/= Pokemon sun/moon/x/y/or/as

So yes, if you wanna move your data from one game to another on the same 3ds you gotta pay for the service

stupid debates aside, it's not out?

Real talk though

If you don't like the system in place of paying 5 dollars, don't pay for it

If you don't mind it, then pay for it

If there is a market, they will continue, if there isn't, they will change the system

What are you realistically asking for? Government intervention? If you're just going to cry on a Japanese image board then pls go

>>31154141
How do you expect them to pay for the servers then?

>>31154327

>>31154323
How? I'm fine with Poke bank being a paid service to store a huge amount of pokemon. With that I have no issue.

My issue is that Poke transfer needs Poke bank to function. You need to pay 5 bucks if you only want to trade between games, something that is possible to do in one system without any cost.

If we can trade from XY to ORAS without paying a single dime, we should be able to trade from XY/ORAS to SM. To lock this ability behind a pay wall is entirely unjust, akin to having to pay to use a product after buying it.

>>31154484
Trading =/= transferring

You've never been able to trade between two different gens except for the originals

>>31154529
You couldn't transfer between Gen 1 and 2 either

>>31154548
I meant trade
fuck i'm retarded

>>31154548
You could as long as the GSC mon had nothing that didn't exist in RBY

>>31154143
"Entitled" has become something of a catch-all term to label someone whom you don't agree with, and as such hardly anyone will actually admit to being entitled.

But you know what? Yeah, I am entitled to a free fucking transfer service. I don't need your server space to store my Pokemon; I want them stored on my cart. The problem is, GameFreak IS forcing me to use their service if I want that done. There is absolutely no reason to not support Gen VI to Gen VII system transfers.

I've been playing Pokemon for twenty years. Yes I am fucking entitled to Bank for free, even if it's just for one goddamned month, and if you think you're proving a point by using 'entitled' as some pseudo-intellectual pejorative, then you can go fuck yourself, Sally.

>>31154529
It's the same mechanic. It's literally no different than trading from gen 1 to gen 2, or from ORAS to XY (ORAS has new moves, items and forms that aren't available in XY)

>>31154254
I'm not too young, I just didn't play Gen III.

But, y'know, feel free to just call "underage" and "it used to be worse" to explain away things instead of actually arguing why it should be like this NOW.

>>31154341
This is the closest thing to an actual argument I've seen in this thread.

To answer your question, I don't. The online transfer service should be incredibly short-term. In my opinion, it should go along the lines of:
>Dump a box of mons you want to transfer from old game
>Box is held in temporary stasis on a server in the short-term
>Box is picked up from new game using in-game feature.
>Server data is deleted if you don't get your shit within a week.
>Absolutely 0 cost to the player

Alternatively, just give new copies of the game a one-shot code that gives them a free month of Bank. It'd let people transfer up without feeling like they're being cheated for a service they won't even use for longer than it takes to transfer their shit. If they decide that they DO want to keep Bank for the long-term, they can start paying the fees.

Why do we have to pay each time though?

Or maybe Bank should be an entirely different thing. There, problem solved.

>>31154341
We shouldn't need the fucking servers in the first place. They serve no purpose, and it forces you to be online. Make it an app that stores the mons in your SD card.

I wouldn't mind paying 5-10 dollars once for such an app.

>>31154650

>Yes I am fucking entitled to Bank for free, even if it's just for one goddamned month


so just because you play pokemon for 20 years, gamefreak should develop a free program, pay out of it's own pockets for the servers and advertising?

also it was free for one month when released, you spoiled little brat

>>31154650
It's not about the amount of money, it's about why does it cost money to literally just trade between games.

>>31154711
>It was free once when this wasn't relevant so you should pay for it now!
Your argument ignores that we're now in the THIRD generation released that supports bank, and the last free trial was early in Gen VI era so that people could transfer from BW/BW2.

Many people didn't have the chance to transfer then, or didn't see the need in using the free trail of a system designed to transfer mons from a game they didn't play.

Unless you're trying to argue that people that haven't played every game don't DESERVE free trials, in which case you just outed yourself as a massive faggot.

>>31154711
>gamefreak should develop a free program, pay out of it's own pockets for the servers and advertising?
No, it should release a patch and allow trading between the two games. People that want Bank can pay for it if they want to.

>>31154726
You pay hundreds of taxes, now complaining about 5 bucks

I use Bank to store boxes full of extra legendarys, balltisim mons, breed mons and my shinys + livingdex as of gen7.

>>31154753
You keep missing the point. Paying for storage is fine, if you need the extra space then more power to you.

The problem is paying for a service that you only use once for like ten minutes. Transfering should be separate from Bank. There is literally zero reason to need their servers for transfering.

>>31154753
>Why shouldnt i pay 5 bucks?
You can if you want to. It doesn't really matter to what I'm arguing for, which is merely allow transferring pokemon for free. You don't need servers for that, just the games you bought.

Why not use pksm instead and get 1000 boxes if you only care about extra space to store pokemon?

wait. is it out right now?
Sorry, I just woke up

>>31154688
I just use instagc. It's very easy to get five dollars on there if you're patient.

>>31153749
>literally required a second DS in Gen V

I still don't understand why there isn't a Pokemon Box/Ranch app for the 3DS that's functionally identical to Bank except I COULD USE IT OFFLINE.

>>31154341

With the money they earn selling games? They earn billions of dollars, and they can't use a teeny tiny percentage of that for a server for Pokemon (which take up an incredibly small amount of data)? Bullshit.

>>31151924

The question was "how do you expect them to pay for the servers?" as if Nintendo/GF was a small, indie company with no money to cover their costs. I simply answered.

>>31155862

Fug me, the connectivity is region-locked.

(Not including what you need to play the games themselves.)

Gen 3:
Gamecube + Pokemon Box + GC to GBA Link Cable
Ruby and Sapphire only.

Gen 4:
Wii + My Pokemon Ranch
Diamond and Pearl only. (Platinum if you lived in Japan)

Gen 6:
Poke Bank + Poke Transporter

Gen 7:
See above.

Storing mons on the SD Card would make injecting even easier, probably.

$5 a year is some heinous crime now? I wanna see how some people here react at your typical korean mmo

I don't think I saw anybody post this yet, but When X and Y came out I'm pretty sure they made Bank free for a couple months so you could transfer your guys for free. My assumption is that they won't charge you to transfer your Gen VI mons in the same way.

Bank does suck for kids.

I never had my parent's credit card number as a kid. It came up about once or twice a year. I think usually with online sales but I know shit like the LEGO Store had catalog-only exclusive items, and I'd just stare wistfully at the picture knowing if I asked my mom to buy it for me I'd just end up getting attacked by an extremely angry Balkan woman with a wooden spoon, with nothing to show for my troubles.


Reality of the situation is the data could easily be written onto the 3DS/SD card - i.e. the 3DS itself could act as the 'bank' - and transfers would be nothing doing. It's just a clever cash grab because the older audience isn't going to wince at a $5/annum, but it does fuck up the kids.

Won't someone please think of the children?

>>31156442
You've well-emphasized the "HOPING" part. I don't think they'll care enough about an old service for old games that have already been discontinued. Just look at the Dream World. No way to farm berries in gen V anymore.

Jesus, this again? You poorfags complaining about LITERALLY 5 DOLLARS a year is ridiculous.

No. The main game saves your boxes to the SD card or the cart in the cart slot. All data saved by official 3ds applications or games except for the camera is stored encrypted on the SD card or the cart in the cart slot. It has the same "cheating risks" as the regular games.

No, it was a price comparison. and all of the older software and devices he listed are now obselete. I can't believe we're still revisiting this complaint about god damn Bank.

The purpose of Bank is that years from now regardless of the direction technology takes nintendos handhelds and consoles, you'll still have access to pokemon from the past.

Bank is awesome because I have an entire Living Dex saved in it, as well as tons of shinies and legendaries neatly categorized instead of scattered throughout multiple game carts with failing batteries.

I've had Bank since launch and it has worked perfectly fine for me. I have pokemon in Bank from my original Ruby game on the GBA. The cart doesn't even save anymore so I made it in the nick of time. This game had my starter on there (a level 70 blaziken) and a bunch of oddball pokemon with weird bred moves and shit. Without Bank, those pokemon would Shirley be lost by now.

>>31156689
>failing batteries.
I know this is a dumb question, but DS games have batteries?

>>31156461
>Bank does suck for kids.
Well, if you're a kid then you probably don't have that many pokemon worth saving or games old enough that you have to worry about the cart battery dying.

>>31156455
Is this Devil May Cry Chan?

>>31156706

no. GBA games do but DS and 3DS carts are still essentially SD cards, and over the years i've had terrible luck with the integrity of SD cards. Usually in about 5 years they become corrupt.

>>31156681
There's literally no excuse for not being able to do it today entirely free.

>>31156681
You people who let this stuff happen are the worse.

>>31152799
Then they can't make sure the Pokemon are legitimate. They don't want hackers shitting up their game, which is a fair thing to want.

Pokemon Box, the GC Link Cable, and Ranch have nothing to do with transferring pokemon.

>>31156126

Box/Ranch were optional, you still had a way to forward them.

Bank is just a cheap moneygrab that you're being forced into because >muh shekels

>>31156867
Irrelevant.
If you can hack the transferred pokemon in this hypothetical local save, then you can also hack Sun and Moon directly.

of course not.

>>31156985
>here's your food
>do you want knives and forks to eat it? Lol stop being entitled
All they need to do is to patch the games. Nothing more. The only reason transferring pokemon costs money is because it's packed with Bank.

>>31156947
Storing is not transferring

Majority of people anticipate pokebank because its serving the purpose pal park and poke transfer were in previous gens which were cross gen transfers

>>31152790
You can also borrow their bank too.

>>31153749
Which is a lie because every gen outside of 4, and that's if you had a pat or lite, required two systems and in the case of gens 1 to 3 a link cable which was nearly as much as the sub in the for place.

>>31154199
Just so you know, we've had online trading for quite a while now.

In other words you can in fact complete the game without the use of bank.

>>31157113
Which means one of you had to have payed the subscription.

AND you still need to borrow their 3DS with the bank account on it anyway.
So you aren't avoiding that

>it's about why does it cost money to literally just trade between games.
Nigga aside from 3 to 4 it has always cost money to transfer. But you know what? Bank is literally the superior option to buying a second system because at the time of relevancy each system was at least 80+.

>people still complaining about Bank's fee after almost 15 years
jesus christ homies

>>31157220
Why not leave the 2 System transfer as an alternate option though?

>>31157287
What difference does it make? Someone still has to spend money and bank is the cheaper way.

>>31157287
Gee, I wonder why they wouldn't bother wasting dev time on Nintendo's least popular handheld.

>Then multiply those small amounts of data with millions of players who want to use transfer
Not really.

Pokemon files are small, unsure if it changed for Gen 7, but Gen 6 pokemon occupy 232 bytes when boxed away.
For 3,000 pokemon, that is 696,000 bytes, or around 0.7 MB.

Assume 10 million people use Bank.
That is only a grand total of around 7 Terabytes of data to store. Its not that much in the grand scheme

Something tells me that if your GF was taking it in the ass behind your back you would suddenly have a problem with principles.

>Pay for Pokemon bank
>Accidentally forget 3 boxes of my favorite mons and bros from other gens thinking they were safe on the servers and because I stopped playing for about 8 months or so
>They were deleted

Turns out what they don't tell you right off the bat is that they delete mons that sit in the boxes for more than 6 months without being transferred. Fuck pokemon bank seriously.

>>31154156
Everywhere else that isn't America.

>>31159286

this is simply not true
i've stopped playing for like 2 years and everything is still on there

>>31157220
Why does it matter how transfer was in previous gens? If it is entirely possible to make it free, how can you possibly be fine with paying for it?

where the fuck did the $240 figure come from??

also question, I let my bank expire like, two years ago. Will my shit still be there when I re-open it?

>>31160511
