Nintendo doesn't do this. Nintendo only possibly deletes them when your service expires. All you lose if you live in a cave without internet but with a charged switch for 7 days is the ability to play Ice Climbers or w/e NESflix game you were playing.

That makes a lot more sense.

Even Nintendo couldn’t be that dumb.

I got the Pokemon Bank service for the first year, uploaded a lot of pokemon to it including a favorite Tentacruel which came over on the Mayflower was transferred from an original Saphire version in a DS fat and made it allllll the way to X&Y.

I forgot to renew the service, and they had deleted it by the time I remembered it less than a year later. I was loving livid.

Well I cared when I got around to wanting to play Pokemon again. It's not like I was obsessing about it in the meantime.

edit: Also it was multiple generations of games worth of lost Pokemon, you really feel that loss when you're looking at your empty rear end national dex

To be clear though, caring enough about tentacruel to buy a Pokemon bank subscription, but not enough to renew that subscription...

I believe it's a donut hole of caring, much like the donut hole in Medicare part B prescription drug plans. And Barack Obama thankfully repaired that donut hole. I am fully in favor of The Pokemon Bank fixing the Pokemon bank donut hole. But it might take an Obama level charismatic figure within the company to achieve it.

In conclusion, the Obama 2008 campaign logo would make a fuckin sick rear end Pokeball design.

There are many exciting parallels to be made between the American Health Care system and Nintendo's online platform.

Namely, both make me wish I was dead.

  • The thing that wasn't supposed to be hidden.
    At one point on disc 2 or 3 you're supposed to go to a place on the worldmap that's totally not a secret or hidden. Except that I couldn't find it. I used a guide. I searched for an hour and a half. I got pestered with random encounters the whole while.
    This was the point at which I realized, "Wait a minute. Why am I doing this? I haven't had much fun during the entire course of the game thus far, and I've actively had un-fun in multiple places." and turned it off for good.

I agree with a lot of this stuff, but what the hell were you doing fighting random encounters on disk 2 and 3? You should get Encounter None by the end of disk 1

Yup. You have to watch poo poo like this over and over and over again and it gets really boring.

That's go to the bathroom, get a snack time. Freaking long. I remember the summons being long in Golden Sun but you could skip them.

Thank you for telling me why FFVIII is the lesser of its brethren. I think I'm most excited for IX. I've seen some good amounts of both VII and X, but while I've heard only great things about IX, I'd be going in completely blind. X2 I remember being supposedly good but really fan-servicey but what're you going to do, job-centric RPGs are usually pretty fun.

Haha, nope. Not going back to that game. Am kind of looking forward to FFIX which I missed but only hear good things about, and we'll see if I have time for 10. I at least have more time than sense as I'm downloading FFXV Pocket HD (though it'll be a while before I actually fire it up).

Somehow I did not realize that that was a thing I had acquired, though in retrospect, I'm glad of it. It would've caused me to play the game for longer.

Conversely, I'm pleased that the FFVII port will likely have the ability to speed up the game and turn off encounters when I'm not feelin' 'em. Hopefully the other ports do as well.

Can't go wrong with meat lovers, but after moving to Jersey, a plain cheese slice is so drat good! I actually found a place that sometimes sells a mac and cheese pizza which was surprisingly really tasty.
