This service is one of the best ideas GF has come out with in a while. In the past it was on a home system but now its on your 3DS and anyone can use it.

Holy shit.

Sucks you have to pay though. Still a neat service a lot of people will surely use though.

I think it's an excellent idea:
>You can store Pokemon from your game safely, allowing you to restart your game whenever you want
>If you lose your cart/SD card, a lot of your Pokemon will still be safe
>Allows you to share with others, so even if you don't want to pay $5 a year, you can ask to borrow a friend's account
>99% likely to be used to transfer gen 6 Pokemon to gen 7, creating a future-proof infrastructure
>I can transfer Pokemon between X/Y and the next Pokemon game without needing a second 3DS
>only $5 a year

As long as they keep the price at that, I'm more than happy.

Pokemon games cost 30 bucks (most did at one point, others still do) and come out every 3 years. Every six years gamefreak will be getting extra profit equivalent to an additional pokemon game. They're worse than what the Nazis could have potentially been if Hitler and the Third Reich were jews.

How stupid do you have to be to not know that the term DLC implies a PAYMENT? Have you been living under a rock? People don't complain about free downloadable content. Whenever DLC is mentioned as a negative it refers to downloadable content that costs money.

>slippery slope

When Valve introduced hats in TF2 they claimed they won't affect gameplay. One year later they made hats with stats.

DLC is DownLoadable Content. Paying or not or referring to it as positive or negative is secondary.

DLC means DownLoadable Content. No payment is implied.

Companies like Valve and EA are Western companies, who prioritise making money. Considering Masuda is against paid DLC, the furthest GF will go is paid outfits for your player (which is entirely cosmetic).

Oh you mean those three hats that only have stats if you complete a certain equipment set, and even then it's a single bonus and a neglible one at that? They even stopped after those three hats.

Seriously, do you even play TF2 anymore or are you one of those people spouting those bullshit that "they ruined it" without playing it anymore?

Also stop being a console gamer idiot. DLC just means downloaded content and could either be paid or free. Maybe it's YOU who is living under the rock.

And yet even the free content is considered DLC still.

Wifi distribution pretty much functions as DLC, despite people not using that term.

Here's a tip, do not use gaming journalism as a source of lingo. Otherwise you'll be bombarded with buzzwords and misinterpreted definition that you feel like you're in some political paper.
