Portugal, motherfucker, have you heard about it?

We have the best healthcare in the world for free, great transports, average schools and yet we are poor as fuck.

I mean, I know it's a joke, but I do wonder how much the average person does spend on toilet paper compared to Pokemon Bank. 5 bucks a year is truly negligible. It costs me more to get breakfast, once, when I have to leave quickly in the morning.

I only really use a little less than a roll a week, which wouldn't even transfer to five bucks

Sorry, I meant in a year. Five dollars a week, as the OP said would cost 260 dollars a year. I don't think anybody would pay that for Pokemon bank.

You guys are over estimating the power of microtransactions.
When major companies make the decision to include them, every company tries to get a slice of that cake.

Prepare to be bent over and fucked in the ass for microtransactions until another financial model becomes popular.

Maybe it's because I now only play Pokemon, and am anticipating GTA V, but otherwise, I don't have much time for games outside of those that I know will be long-time entertainment, but I'm ok with Pokemon Bank. I think it's perfect for people like me, who are Pokemon fans, but have put gaming aside otherwise.

$5 is less than minimum wage in America. You could literally work for less that 1 hour of your lazy good-for-nothing lives and be able to afford Bank for a year.

Because of the affordable healthcare act, I now have to pay $200 a month for my health insurance. Before it was enacted, I was only paying $95. The only people who benefit from socialized healthcare are people without jobs living on government assistance. The people with jobs have to pick up the slack and pay for pieces of shit who don't pay taxes which are supposed to fund our new healthcare system.

I could have paid for Poke Bank for a couple of decades with the extra money I have to pay every month because of our glorious new healthcare system that's based off of our friends to the North and across the pond.

Fuck you and your ignorance.

I think people who are mad about this should realize that you can make far more than 5 dollars while shitting, at a minimum wage job in a year. Maybe enough to subscribe to the service for decades.

I mean, fuck me, right? Sure, I would love for everything to be free, too, but what is the alternative to having micro transactions? We've never had this service before, if's not like this is something we could always do. They allow for more tools and content to get paid for.

$5 a year (or whatever the equivalent in your country is) is nothing. The only people who hate this idea are the underageb&s who won't be able to convince their parents to buy them an annual pass.

microtransactions are inherently flawed on a grand scale. it's an unsustainable model that doesn't provide long term value.

in fact, the most successful microtransaction models are meant to be short term and ride the wave of fads.

i don't think that it's hard to see that this isn't an interesting or viable solution to economic problems. while simultaneously a great solution for increasing a companies revenue short term.

we used to make things in america. it's baffling how pokefags can analyze the metagame but miss out on the details of all the other systems surrounding it.

You aren't paying to transfer your Pokemon, you're paying for that, as well as 3000 Pokemons-worth of storage, as well as the ability to start a new game on X and Y without losing any of your bros, as well as a permanent guaranteed way to transfer your Pokemon up to future gens.

Umm... You might be right, because I'm seriously thinking of taking next Medicine school semester in either the UK, the USA or Japan. I fluently speak ecglish, japanese and redneck...

Transport is only shit tier in Lisbon, with the shit smell and the shit delayments, but in other towns, transport kicks some Japanese ass.

On the other hand, we can say fuck you to all Canadians with their Justin Biebers and sorries.
