29.99 for Gen 3 games on GBA. Let's say 60$ if you bought R/S and then E.
34.99 for Gen 4 and Gen 5 games on DS. Let's say 70$ if you bought D/P and then Pt or B/W and then B2/W2.
39.99 for Gen 7 games on 3DS. Let's say 80$ if you bought S/M and then US/UM. Now this is also assuming we don't include remakes.
59.99 for Gen 8 games on the Switch. DLC which adds areas to the game is 29.99. Let's say if you bought it, you're looking at 90$ in total. In addition to paying for access to Nintendo online, something that previously wasn't necessary to play online in previous Pokemon entries from Gen 4 through Gen 7. This is 19.99 being added on top of that. A 110$ product. If Let's say some people don't get the DLC for arguments sake, that is 80$ game for online features which used to be free while also not getting the same play value as previous entries. Of course Nintendo Online grants you access to past titles, which can make up for it in some respect, but plenty of those titles can be emulated on PC with improved performance for free.
