If we can't even use half of the dex in the game, why do we have to pay for Pokemon Home? Shouldn't we at least be getting a basic storage system?

It won't be. But at least the should make it free for NSO subscribers, since those would be the only people that would have any access to it.

You don't think it feels a little like extortion?
I don't understand how they're able to mismanage such a huge franchise like this.
They should have at least announced some sort of Pokemon Stadium 3 in the works that will get updates with future gens and shit.

Everything about how they're going about this transition to the switch just feels lazy and greedy. This is the most expensive pokemon game yet, and if you want to move your pokemon up from the 3DS you have to pay to do it but you can't even keep them all in the game itself anymore so you'll have to keep paying for pokemon home forever or until they release a switch game with everything.

This. It doesn't make sense to have to pay for Bank to put your pokemon there, then pay for Home to bring the ones coded in SS to the Switch and then pay for Switch Online to actually use them against other players.

That's not the point.
Pokemon is the highest-grossing media franchise in the world and they can't even deliver a complete game, just cause they like that "small indie company" feel and refuse to hire more people so that they'll always be able to use that as an excuse for their laziness.

Furthermore, if I may add this, a single pokemon is worth something like 250 bytes. 3000 pokemon (pokebank limit) take less than 1MB to store.
They even had the courage to ask money for that.
So, since this year I'm paying for Nintendo Switch Online, which lets developers store our saves in the cloud (feature that they didn't support in Sword and Shield), I shouldn't pay for Pokemon Home.

Either this or they can kiss my Atmosphere.

I'm half convinced the real reason SwSh cut half the dex isn't because Game Freak is lazy but because they wanted to force people to pay for Home

nah, they are just incompetent beyond belief, they can't compress or optimize to save their lives, reason why Iwata had to intervene when they were going to release Gold/Silver, they were going to cut the dex just like now, but Iwata came up with a way to compress the graphics and save their asses

Just assuming, we know hardly anything about home yet. Bank wasn't free, people have bitching about that for years, so of course people would assume.

id be fine with a one time payment of 24 dollars... like ruby and sapphires pokemon box or something. im fucking sick and tired of cloud based services and streaming. I can still use pokemon box, unlike these streaming-like services that will in time be phased out as animal crossing pocket came did in belgium and also the miitomo game.. once the money isnt there they pull the plug

How would something like 500 slots free and then you pay for each 500 slots you need beyond that make you feel? Because that model or something like it is more likely than a large upfront payment.

Surely you joke.
There's no way Pokemon Home would be that much when Bank was $5 for an entire year?

Do we have any more info about Home yet? I wanna know about sending bros from bank to home.

Someone literally did the math, if you filled every slot in every box on bank you'd have so little data it'd fit in an email attachment even like 10 years ago. Absolutely not worth $5 a year when even shit-tier cloud storage services offer a gigabyte or 2 for free.

I'm with this guy. I don't trust the cloud shit, I didn't use bank because it didn't feel right either.

If I'm storing all of my pokemon in one place I'd like it to be an actual game with local saves in addition to cloud or something. A rental based cloud service just feels like it has the potential to end in losing everything

So many stories of people having their bank collections wiped out because they were one day late on their subscriptions. U also cant resubscribe until like two weeks before ur subscription is about to expire so its easy to forget about. Horrible system and i dont trust it

there is indeed an objective answer. But where are the sources that say that GF only needs 10 MB x users of storage to run Pokemon Home??

Lets assume each person uses roughly 20 MB of storage, and lets say all 34 Million current switch owners bought pokemon and used Pokemon Home

Gamefreak would only need about 70TB to store everyones data

It could be both to be honest.
What if they're THAT incompetent and in order to save face they decided to market Home and earn (assuming you need to pay for it) some extra cash on the side.

we can prove 3000 pokemon occupy 680KB of space in pokemon bank, though, possibly a whole account would be 1MB since it also needs to have the player Nintendo Network account information and status
depending on what we get on pokemon Home, we can be sure the pokemon storage aspect of it is tiny
