>>14766349The maintenance is extremely redundant. There's literally no reason for this to be a cloud service in the first place.
I appreciate Nintendo finding a way to make transferring between generations easier, but there are other ways to go about it, many of which, in the long run, would be cheaper than this service.
The 3DS now has an online store and is patchable, and has internal storage. Considering the size of 3000 Pokemon is negligibly small - less than 2MB, there's little reason for this to be a cloud storage service.
They can justify the yearly fee with "It requires maintenance", but that doesn't change that the concept never had to be a cloud service in the first place, and could easily be handled by a patchable 3DS app. On top of that, the service itself, despite how cheap it is, is STILL overpriced. $5 a year is nothing, but 2MB of storage is even less of nothing.
