So we'd be able to transfer our pokemon for free with the trial then never get the subscription?

Pretty much.

I don't think Nintendo are dumb enough not to provide a free period for transfers.

Thank god. I'd never use this feature except for a one time transfer.

Know this, if you don't pay up they will be holding your pokémon hostage.

You don't seriously want that, do you?

Know that your X/Y storage PCs are limited, probably to 24 boxes with 30 pokémon each again for just 720 pokémon, maybe 30 boxes because of the one again larger national dex.

annual fee for managing at most 1 MB of user data

meanwhile pokecheck does pkm data management for free, not to mention dropbox does multiple GB of randomcrap for free

anything greater than a few bucks will be milking of the userbase

5 dollars a year is nothing so no issues here. However do they really need 5 bucks? Isn't pokemon data basically nothing to store?

Should cost nothing for them. I know because I'm storing pokemon data of my own somewhere.

As >>13649081 said, that five bucks might be to keep the servers running.

>As long as you have Pokémon Bank, you'll be able to link up to your own dedicated Boxes online using your Nintendo 3DS to easily deposit and withdraw your precious Pokémon. If the worst were to somehow happen and you lost your copy of Pokémon X or Pokémon Y, your Pokémon would still be safe and ready to be withdrawn to a new game if they were deposited to Pokémon Bank!

Wait does this mean it syncs with the game or what? If your pokemon is in a copy of x/y and you lose that does that mean you still have one in the bank online?

It means that you would only lose the pokemon inside the cart you just lost. You could just start another game and get the pokemon you still have on the bank.

It means you get one account, regardless of the amount of games you acquire. So you can have Pokemon X and Y, and use the same Poke Bank for both. Moreover if you were to lost one of the games, your Pokemon are kept as they're stored in the cloud.

Server costs. Charging a yearly fee will allow them to better keep the servers in operation, as well as maintenance.

if pokecheck brought in $5/user it'd pull in around 1mil USD. Whereas it costs around a thousandth of that to actually run the server.

it'd be around 0.7 MB of data per user. Is it really that intensive? NO.

Should cost more like a dollar IMO. Assuming 15 million get the game and of those only 10 million get the service they get around 50 million dollars.

I don't think nearly that many will use it. Even on /vp/, I'd be surprised if anywhere close to half plan to buy it. (I certainly don't.) Among more casual players, will it even be close to ten percent?

Assuming 15 million get the game, I'd say that more like 2 million will use the service.

I just hope that it doesn't turn out they keep it online until the next pokemon and then decide to nix it. All your banked pokemon just disappear.

They said that they plan on using it for future pokemon games. Really, this resolves quite a bit, as far as compatibility with future games goes. They wouldn't just toss it into the trash.
