I really do not know why they could not just have made Pokemon Home the new thing and retroactively made Bank a part of Home. Why do I have to maintain separate accounts for both with separate renewals that I have to keep track of? What is going to happen when Nintendo brings out the successor to the Switch and there is a Pokemon game for that console, is there then going to be a third thing to separately keep track of and pay for?

Seriously if Bank and Home were a single thing you paid for together, even if it came to the same amount of money, it would feel a lot less onerous.

I haven't opened my old games to look at my mons. Right now I have Schrodinger's mons.

Craptacular! posted:

The original Kanto starters are getting giga forms in the DLC so it's possible you don't even need to buy any additional games to get their Dex entires. They're also in Let's Go, which should allow you to move them to SwSh using Home's free tier.

Regardless, between SWSH and USUM you should be able to acquire everything. As with the DLC, the problem is not enough information. We can't tell you what you should or shouldn't buy for what result because due to a combination of wanting to surprise players in the case of the DLC, and the usual Nintendo "you'll just have to wait to answer your own questions after you buy it" approach to online services with Home.

I just meant subscribing to Bank and Home. I've got at least one of each evo line, somewhere, but I can breed up some babies for the Home dex. I should probably get all my mons in a row before I pay for a subscription.

Since Home is accessible through mobile devices, they might not even need to make a third storage system and keep upgrading that.

Of course, now that the policy going forward is to not program every Pokemon into the games themselves, the only way to even have a living dex in a single place going forward is to pay for Home. Which is a huge deal breaker for many.

They really should merge Home and Bank with PoGo so you can go out, catch pokemon, hatch eggs, then trade them to your games

This honestly sounds like the plan they're trying to implement, but they don't want the central point of contact between everything to be Go itself and I guess they decided Bank was not up to task for this, so let's go, new service.

Honestly, Tetra & WW Ganon could both play really differently from their counterparts, but if we didn't get them for the WW HD release, we'll never get them. Like, WW Ganon uses twin swords and sweet acrobatic flips, you could go the complete opposite direction from "slow tank of death" OoT ganon

Shouldn't Pokemon Ranch be crossed out to since the Wii console is closed down as well?

Of course, going by that logic, anything older then the 3DS should be crossed out since those games are no longer in print either.

The game director of Smash wanted Hank Hill in Smash and almost succeeded before Disney squashed the deal when they bought Fox. More proof we live in the worst tine line.

I think if any gen 8 Pokémon is getting in Smash, it will probably be Rillaboom. We already have a water starter with Greninja and a fire starter with Incineroar.

Either that or Urshifu.

My question is how many games do you actually need to get the complete Pokédex into bank/home.? I mean all the games prior to sword shield. Because UM, Pokémon go, Pikachu let’s go.

Pretty sure it's possible with just Gen 6 and 7, excluding mythicals.
