There are 4,294,967,296 different patterns that Spinda can have. Assuming that you have infinite time, or choose to write a script to generate them for injection, how hard would it be to store this many Spindas?
Pokemon Home would never work.
Each paid account can store 6,000 Pokemon (which totals around 2mb, lol). This would require you to have 715,828 accounts and would cost $12,161,917.72 a year (before tax).
You might think that free accounts might work, but that's an order of magnitude more unmanagable, requiring you to open and manage 143,165,577 accounts.
Theoretically, 4,294,967,296 Spinda should happily fit into 400gb since all Pokemon in Gen 3 are 100bytes, but what is the most efficient way to store Spinda in the games themselves?
Gen 3 saves take up 128kb each and can store 420 Pokemon. Storing every Spinda in this format would require 10,226,113 saves, which would take up 1.2tb.
Pokemon Box saves take up 512kb (an entire 59 block memory card) each and can store up to 1,500 Pokemon. This would require 2,863,312 saves, which would take up 1.3tb.
Gen 4, 5, 6, and 7 saves have equal or larger file sizes than Pokemon Box and store less Pokemon.
Gen 8 doesn't have Spinda.
If anyone more autistic than me knows a more efficient way to "legitimately" store every possible Spinda, let me know.
