This must have to do more with some kind of license renewals rather than server costs right? I cannot imagine that it's that expensive to continue hosting the servers, and I'm sure they must get enough sales that it at very least wouldn't come as a net loss.

Lets say you download all your games to your SD card. Then say that your 3DS breaks and you have to buy a new one. If you plug in the SD card (after the shop shuts down), will you be able to download/play your games from that?

Literally makes no sense they made a big deal of those Pokemon games and being able to pull the Pokemon "forward" and aren't going to do anything with it.

It's reasons like this that old cartridges for certain games are still going up in price. And with clone systems readily available and cheap, I think they will just keep going up. Chrono Trigger is still around $200, maybe I should just bite the bullet and get it.

Guess I better stop procrastinating on that fire emblem fates dlc.

But yeah, after how nintendo treated the wii with it's digital content (never actually got around to buying that castlevania rebirth and I really wish I did), its one of the main reasons why I don't invest heavily in switch games like that...they are the worst out of sony and microsoft when it comes to actually being able to play your old stuff on new consoles these days.

Poke on Bank itself will likely shut down when this happens. I need to hurry. I just started planning a project of building a living pokedex from as far back as fire red and leaf green and ruby and sapphire. But I'll only be able to bring them as far as gen 5 after this happens

They need to bring gen 1 and 2 to switch and maybe also gen 3

Lmao, apparently the article got changed. It used to be like this and felt like it was taunting the reader.
https://twitter.com/NijiMarii/status/1493754404184334336

Now they changed it to promote the NSO streaming services instead of outright saying there are "no plans to offer classic content."

New update says it will become free, which is surprising but nice.

Don't forget the cartridges straight-up die after too many writes because save files are on the cartridge itself. So it's just gonna keep getting worse.

Actually, most cartridges use a simple CR2025 or CR2032 batteries which are readily available and cheap. They last over 10 years.

Home allows all pokemon. But some are not supported in sword shield. You would have to leave them in home and wait for a future game to support them. Sword and Shield was the first game to not allow all past pokemon to come to it

Ok cool I gotta get on that. I had all Pokemon up through Omega Ruby, I think save for one or two legendaries. Gotta transfer those over and then work on my Moon/Sun dex.

As long as you've already downloaded Bank and paid for it, you should be fine, but do that all before March of next year just to be safe.
