that the National Pokédex is now a 5$ DLC
Can someone explain to me why so many people have a boner over national pokedexes now?

GOTTA CATCH EM ALL
Actually, I don't get this thing, either. I can't even look at the models.
>>32280249
We don't. GameFreak is taking away features in order to make money, we don't want the franchise to become a money making scheme for lazy developers.
>>32280242
Source to this?

It's pokébank

The national dex comes only with the Pokémon Bank, which costs $5. If you want the national dex in gen 7, you have to pay a yearly subscription fee.

I can live without the national pokedex, and if i really need the bank i only need to pay my hard earned yearly five dollaridoos.
I could eat with that money, but pokemon is more important than that.
>>32280242
I thought you only needed to pay the fee if you wanted to store/transfer pokémon using Bank, but if you only wanted the National Dex you could just download the app and link it to your games.
Personally I never cared about the National Dex and I use Bank that much it warrants a yearly fee, but I agree it's pretty shitty of GF to put it behind a paywall.

*$5 a year and isn't even accessible in-game
>>32280242
As long as the rewards for completing it are still there (the charms) I don't care. I barely look at the thing unless I want to look at the poses the models make.
>>32280242
You would have no use for the National Dex unless you had a Pokebank suscription anyway.
>>32280476
Why? You realize you can get Pokemon other ways besides transferring, right?
>Paying five dollarydoos is somehow worse than having to own another 3DS
>>32280503
you are going to complete the national dex by wonder trade
>>32280530
Since when have to had to own another console to have access to the National dex,retard?
>>32280541
Yeah, because using the GTS or setting up trades with other people isn't a possibility.

anon....

I haven't refreshed my bank shit yet. Is the 3DS meta fun compared to Smogon's?
>>32280557
>put up a starter or any other popular pokemon
>ask for wanted pokemon
>get it within 5 mins
what's the problem?
>>32280575
you need to see the pokemon first

Trading my shiny, adamant Totodile for a level 9 or under Zekrom, PM me if you're interested
>>32280609
Scroll down and you can spell it yourself at 'What Pokémon?'
>>32280609
No you don't. They changed it in Gen 6.
>>32280560
Cart metas were always garbage. Play romhacks.
>>32280560
It's a hell of a lot different.
Megas and non-alolan Pokemon are usually banned, and the format is doubles. Stuff that's shit in smogon is amazing in VGC and online comp, like Araquanid (RU) or Arcanine (UU). At the same time, stuff like Tapu Lele are rampaging around killing everything.
It's a fun change from the sometimes stale OU meta.

why would I need a national dex without a bank
oh wait, injecting. how sad for you :^)
>>32280283
It's hardly a feature worth having. Incentivising players to buy older games and transfer if they want to 100% the game always felt jewy and annoying to me, I like that S&M are more self-contained
>>32280609
>you need to see the pokemon first
Please tell me you've gone two generations without using the GTS
>>32280283
Too late.
>>32280249
The Bank National Dex is shit. It doesn't show progress for individual games, has fuck all featires even compared to SM's dex, and you have to exit a game and be connected to the internet in order to view it.
I use Bank a lot so this doesn't really bother me. The only detail that annoys me is that in SuMo, mons not in the Alola dex, don't have their dex numbers shown in the PC summary screen.
