So a $60 game + $30 dlc + $16 yearly subscription + a premium upgrade. How did Pokémon get like this?

The $16 subscription is the premium upgrade. If you meant Switch online, that's $20.
It got like this because they thought they could get away with it, and unfortunately, it seems they were right.

Ignoring that GTS should be in-game to being with, why is the Switch version of Home even a thing? Why can't you upload Pokemon to Home from within SWSH and Let's Go?

GF splitting GTS from the main games just to shill Home is a dick move.
It won't stop here either. Expect Pokemon Go to have exclusive Pokemon you can only catch in that game so that you can transfer them into a main game.

Same reason they make you buy into a cloud subscription service when 9/10, you're just making a one time transfer of pokemon from one game to another, something that could be accomplished with basic wireless connections.

I would've argued something about 3DS and Switch being incompatible, but then I remembered Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate has save data transfer to the Switch from the 3DS.

I'm clearly referring to the state of Pokemon before all the money grubbing. I have played all generations except gen 8 and I've never had to pay for the GTS

GTS is free, so they use that to handwave the same service Bank offered getting it's price more than doubled, still regardless if you're just using it to transfer, and not store.

I agree GTS should have been in the base game but being able to trade whenever without having to drag your console around is actually a pretty based idea. Plus you don't actually have to be connected to wifi to do it.
Its also good for people with enough self-awareness to be embarrassed having their Nintendo consoles in public.

Basic access to GTS (have to use the mobile version of Home and can only have one request up at a time) is free. However, it is not accessible on the Switch at all.

I think they're defending it. I think that GF's unsavory business practices will not backfire in the least, because people here will do backflips and eat shit to justify everything GF does. This board is full of cucks.

GTS is still free, cumbersome but free. Paying for Home is stupid because none of the premium features are worth a shit.

I'm sorry, I misinterpreted your first response as implying that my assessment of the GTS as free was incorrect, and thus assumed that it no longer was. GTS was probably left out of SwSh to attract subscribers for Pokemon HOME

why would you want to use GTS when you have access to the game? the home boxes still exist.

Obviously, but why did they leave it out of the Switch version of Home?

So I can request or look for a Pokemon I want without having to go post on a Mongolian underwater basket weaving forum, and then I can use the Pokemon for a purpose such as breeding or battling. If I can't do anything with the Pokemon I received at the moment, there's no reason for me to pick it up until I can actually make use of it. Likewise, I'm not going to suddenly realize I need a Poliwag for an egg move while I'm out.

It was always like this. The intent may have been to share with friends, but it was clearly very lucrative. Every step sense then has been to suck up as much money as possible.

If you buy the premium version of Home, you can check IVs of the Pokemon you put in Home. What's so complicated about this?
