>>16702833It's simple really Pokemon Box is optional storage, Pokemon Bank is not.
Pokemon Bank is required to send Pokemon up. And before you give me the cliche "It's JUST $5, if you can't afford that you shouldn't play videogames.
It used to be free to transfer Pokemon up with 3>4, and 4>5 if you had a friend with a DS. Pokemon Bank is fine as a storage device and that I am paying for STORAGE but the fact they made it required for transferring Pokemon in irks me.
