>>47580487And the 2 KiB calculation is a totally ridiculous one i uses UTF-16 since its double the size of UTF-8 however lets you store aziatic characters better.
So even if the pokemon names is some super long aziatic character string that also includes ancient babylonian and Egyptian characters (NO JOKE !
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuneiform_(Unicode_block) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_Hieroglyphs_(Unicode_block)) it still will take 1 UTF-16 character. The format is also flexible enough to add practically everything from extending to more moves then 4 or adding whatever number of items you want 7 items at the same time? No problem !
Binary is more restrictive and needs refactoring however its FAR FAR FAR more compressed !
> I can't believe aNow you know !
>You can store 500'000'000 Pokémon on a TBI think you are calculating it wrong.
There are 21 million copies of SS sold !
Lets say its 22 million !
Lets say every (I don't have pokemon home and never will LOL I don't know how that one looks !) subscriber gets 500 slots for his pokemon.
22000000 * 500 = 11000000000
So it takes
22000000000 KB
or
22000000MB
or
22000GB
or
22 TB
of space !
8 TB costs $200 so
8TB * 4 = 32 TB
That costs $200 *4 = $800
To give everyone who bought the game 500 slots for Pokemon.
However lets say they want to be extra safe so they get
8TB *8 = 64 TB
at
$200 * 8 = $1600
And this is capable of holding 44 million users where every user can have 500 pokemon saved.
You are literally paying for nothing from them!
