>>34187336Nintendo has said some games will get free access. I am willing to bet Pokemon will be one of them to tempt people into paying for online for other games. Maybe they'd require paying for online to compete in tournaments and such, but blocking all online trading unless you pay $20 seems like shooting themselves in the foot since parents having to pay for a Switch, a more expensive Pokemon game, AND online may cause them to tell little Billy to fuck off
Pretty much 98% certain Pokemon will be one of the exceptions due to that
