Hey anon, dont want to spend $60 + $30? Just download the game and dlc for fucking free and enjoy it. Can't hack your switch? Too fucking bad then, borrow a cartridge.

I havent paid for a pokemon game since DPP/HGSS and so far im enjoying swsh. Online is terrible anyways so there's really no need to go online. You can battle on showdown and trade locally. Everyone wins.
