>>19145225Would your stand be the same if an attack to Nintendo's Servers compromised your precious Pokebank data, as well as your NNID (if you committed the huge mistake of saving credit card info with it)? Or even worse, sudden corruption to the data causes a Server Rollback for services like Pokebank and the E-shop?
As much as you desire to justify its use, it IS still a potential risk that they resorted to cloud storage without implementing some sort of security. Sure, things like NNID and E-Shop data are also registered inside the console for the sake of security, but Pokebank? Nothing establishes that they will make security copies of the data on their servers. They even go and say that if you don't use your pokemon data for a while, it could potentially be lost.
I don't know about you, but i would be severely pissed if i lost my living dex, as an example, not that i have one; or my 270+ hard-trained, IV and whatnot pokemon that i have, incidentally, since Gen 3, due to anything out of my control.
That alone is a good reason to look back to pokegen/check and do backups, but that's not being discussed here.
I still would had liked to have a "Box" like storage System on something else, had it been WiiU or 3DS, i wouldn't had cared, as long as it was on my control and could be backed up.
