Keep your bros or harem on their fucking cartridges and don't trust anything to hold onto them for you.

i'm hoping they come up with a way to make it work offline, it'd be a shame to get rid of the ability to change mons from gen to gen, something that's been a staple since rse -> dppt

Pokemon Bank not existing means pokemon transfer also not working. The VC pokemon are as good as trapped.

What's the actual policy of Nintendo or whoever is in charge of Bank wiping your mons?
I hadn't paid my subscription fee since 2018 and renewed it about a week ago and all my bros were still there.

They will have to kill Bank eventually, I'm surprised it's still available at this point. Maybe the next HOME update is when they'll finally give notice of it coming to a close. You're gonna get 3-6 months warning at least, I'm sure. Enough time to grab everything you might want in one of the VC games and get them into HOME.

I think there's a guaranteed grace period of a month or 2, but after that they "could" be erased at any time, but I don't think they actively seek out expired accounts to wipe. Moreso, they probably just have them sitting there until there is a reason to make space on the servers, at which point they would start deleting mons.

Bank never should have been a subscription service. There was no reason you couldn't store your mons on your system memory like Box and Ranch did. A one off payment of even $15, which is overpriced, would be a better deal than paying $5 a year for more than three years. At least Home lets you have one free box so you can use it for transferring for free.

I saw a lot of posts during the free subscription period after Home released of people finding out that their accounts were never wiped even after years of thinking they were. Apparently some fuckery about people who changed their 3DS' without properly syncing their Nintendo Network account or something.

I am shook. PKSM exists but I question how legitimate my pokemon will be once it touches a PKSM box.

I've already mass migrated everything important to me to a dedicated copy of my ultra moon save file. This includes copies of all the good VC-only sets like tri attack starmie...I suggest other anons do the same.

Home DOES work with ultra sun/moon, r-right?

Idc too much because I have utterly 0 intentions of ever transferring a Pokémon from the first 7 Gens upwards. That said, yea I’m a little mad that this while likely prevent transfer past gen 5, say what you want about gen 7 but it’s served as a gloriously comfy place to keep all my Pokémon with stuff like pokepelago giving boxed mons plenty to do, pokemon refresh giving me a way to interact with them all when I want, and the generally solid amount of post game content in Ultrasun. That said I’m pretty convinced they’ll do something to ensure transfer stays possible, cause people WILL bitch and moan otherwise.

If they ever shut Bank down it's going to be many many years away, cutting compatibility from gens 1-7 entirely is something they will avoid at all costs. As long as the 3DS is online there's no reason to be concerned, and after seeing Sony do a 180 on the PS3 store after the backlash trying to shut it down, I don't see that happening to the 3DS anytime soon either.

nintendo has already begun paring down the eshop functionality in the 3ds and wii u.
It's coming eventually, maybe not tomorrow, but I would definitely keep an eye for news over the next year.

All they've done so far is shut down the store in smaller Latin America countries that didn't even have a full eshop in the first place. Shutting down worldwide is absolutely not happening anytime soon.

So no need to transfer beyond Gen 5? That more doable than I thought.

And at the risk of sounding like a retard, can you buy mobile hotspots as standalone devices? I know my phone can’t be used as one.

Transferring pokemon across generations was a mistake desu. If Gen 4 had never introduced the concept then no one would have ever had a reason to care about shit like dexxit and we would never have to deal with subscription services. Every game is a new adventure, you use a different team, deal with it

But gen 2 introduced it, all you had to do was catch a bunch of shitmons to trade back to gen 1 via the time capsule. Gen 3 NOT having it is part of what killed pokemania because a lot of people who otherwise still played didn't want to start their collections over and it was easier to just move on along with the "too old" for pokemon crowd than buy almost every version plus the gamecube games if you wanted to do it legit and gameshark/action replay did carry some risk to your save file if you fucked up.

Honestly transporter being separate software is stupid to begin with. It just sends your pokemon to bank so why not make it part of bank and make bank read and write to the gen 4 carts without automatically converting to gen 5 format so they could still be withdrawn to gen 4 games? All bank does is read the save file on the cartridge then show you what you have there and in bank itself, let you move things around, then save the end results of both storage systems. It's just missing the code for gen 4 carts, the games themselves don't need to do/support anything.

I stopped paying for like half a year and my bros were still there. If you don't pay you can take as many mons as you want OUT but you can't put any back in.
Pokémon data is so lightweight they have absolutely no reason to wipe your save if you stopped paying. The 6,000 Pokémon they allow you to store in HOME is equivalent to 1.5 Megabytes. It's actually ridiculous they charge like $15 for this.

Now we need to find out if a hacked SWITCH can do the same. And by 'hacked' I mean:

-rooted device
-free use
-open source support
-games from other brands can be played
-no data harvesting for Nintendo / strict privacy

Bowser by the Xecuter team is locked away for 40 months for offering that service. Still hope they keep up the work.
