Current Events > Pokemon Home costs almost as much as Nintendo Switch Online. No, really.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well if I hadn't already given up on the idea of catching 'em all...

It's such a shame too because it's something I'd love to do but it's just way too much. Not just money-wise but you have all the event only Pokmon and I'm sure even if you paid for all this stuff, there are sitll some missing somewhere with no guarantee you'll eventually manage a complete collection even if those do turn up one day.

It's so unintuitive. Who's having fun with these mechanics?

I never quite understood the fascination with Pokemon. Why are adults still so into it?

you're asking why adults like a video game while you yourself are on a dying video game discussion board? okay.

So many fanboys defending getting ripped off.

But it is a minuscule price. Its not much. That and switch online together is still less than the other 2 systems. Which have been at those prices for ever. Even if both were cheaper, people would still complain. People have literally said that. Also, just because you think it should be less doesnt really mean it is less. Maybe when they priced it at $5, they under priced it. Either way, it isnt much. But its also not needed, so...

Bruh, fuck the price. Rather, explain why you feel that a 200%+ increase in said price is justified. Just how often are you transferring Pokemon to and from different games, especially one where catching them all is literally impossible?

Because they can price it at whatever they want. Just because something was price at a certain price before does mean it should be. Like I said, maybe they under priced bank when they made it. And it should have been more. The problem is entitled people thinking that they should choose the price. It's their product. They can price it at whatever. Like most products, you don't but it if you don't like the price. I've seen shoes that cost way more than I would ever pay for them. Or for any shoe. I don't complain about why they seem "overpriced" to me. I just don't buy them. And how often you're trading Pokemon depends on the person. I know many younger kids (You know, their intended audience) who could care less about trading pokemon unless it's something they really want. Where some are constantly trading with friends and family. For the older generation, I know some that just play the game through, trading sometimes, but rarely, if at all. And some that literally have to move all their pokemon from one game to another for some reason...
