>PLZA comes out
>Get a month of NSO (or the 7 day free trial) after trade bots go live
>Trade yourself a Mon holding the Kalos starter mega stones and any other mega stones that may be in the game's data that's hidden from the player
>Now you don't have to go through the ranking up stuff AND you can use the Mon during your in-game playthrough if the bots go up quick enough
All the FOMO content for a fraction of the price
>But Mega Stones can't be traded
Always have been with the sole exception of LGPE which didn't have held items to begin with
>But PLZA doesn't have held items
Yes it does, you didn't watch the gameplay demonstration with the Rouge Mega Absol
Anyway, fuck this bullshit and fuck shelling out any more money than is necessary. I will be waiting for the bots to go up and then get the game second hand out of pure spite. I implore you to do the same if you possess impulse control.
Hopefully one day there will be more accessible Switch firmware hacks for those without launch models to get around this greed.
