As far as I know you have to have had a sub in the past, free trial or payed, or pay up and get a sub now to have access to it. I had heard you only needed a game loaded up but I have pokemon X and it still kicks me back to the start menu with no other options if I say no to paying up.

What's the deal with poke transporter, do I need to have an active subscription or just have an old gen virtual console game?

Poké Transporter is currently only accessible through a link in Bank, and you can only get to that point if you have had an active Bank subscription at any point (meaning if you had it three years ago you can get past the welcome screen, get in there, and download it)

it connects to gen 5 games and Virtual Console gen 1/2 games

if youre on CFW, its simply a matter of dumping your Gen 1 or 2 boxes and sticking the Pokemons in a Gen 7 save through PkHex. drag and drop, the program does all the conversion work. takes minor setup to get going but its very easy once you have an idea of the process.

Yeah, they're still fun games. I slightly preferred the originals because the story is a bit better but USUM are totally fine and good fun. Make sure to download Bank while you still can in case you spot a shiny.

I downloaded Bank. It becomes free as soon as the eShop closes, right? Do I have to make any accounts beforehand?

Today, they would equate to a bigtime paid 2.0 patch. A good example of that would be the Happy Home update Animal Crossing New Horizons got.

I actually bounced hard off Gen 7 originally, but the swifter pacing of USUM's quest plot got me back in and kept me in bc it gave me more freedom sooner to mess around with massive hatching/catching projects, and then later, the PKSM and PkHex mad science.

It is, but more like a 2.0 patch to an MMO where they went and changed the main quest a bunch and there's a real mixed reaction to the now modified story

It's certainly brisker but overall I found it pretty disjointed

*Genuinely* not sure. It is becoming free yeah, but I have no idea how it'll act if you've never had a paid sub. I expect it to be fine but Nintendo's decisions are sometimes unfathomable.

This is my understanding, yes. I feel like it might be worthwhile to pay for a year just to be safe beforehand, but it's weird.

That said, general bank question- I hadn't paid for it for a few years. I finally logged back on, and there was an odd assortment of mons. I swore I had a living dex. If it's gone, it's gone, but does it make any sense that only some of them would be deleted?

the data/mon purges on Bank had no rhyme or reason to them, but unless you had them organized and can see clear gaps it's more likely you just didn’t have the full living dex

So now that the anime is ending I'm curious. Were there any Pokemon who didn't get their own "Pokemon of the Week" episode? Even when the show went more SOL in gen 7 it still kinda had the formula of every week some Pokemon getting the spotlight. There's a thousand of the drat things one of them must have slipped through the cracks.

absolutely the porygon line. 2 and z have maybe, maybe cameos hidden in huge crowd shots at best. After that most of the Gen 8 pokedex since the anime was more about all regions at that point

The Porygon evolutions are paying for the sins of the original Porygon episodes.

Even though the infamous seizure scene was 100% Pikachu’s fault

I wonder if the new anime is going to continue the whole “Pokemon of the Week” format for that matter. I’m also still curious how much Gen 9 is actually going to factor into it since all we’ve seen so far are anime exclusive characters

I would expect it at least a little, because "getting kids to choose a favorite Pokemon" is part of the reason the anime exists.

(Because you see, children with favorite Pokemon are likely to buy merch and toys of that Pokemon.)

one of the weird things about the game is that they remind you if you're about to release a shiny and prompt you to confirm and ask you to re-confirm the most basic choices ("Are you sure you want to fly to this location?") but don't double check if you want to use your one master ball.

which yes, I've stupidly done, and had to do a panic restart while it was in the air

Is it possible to get a Level 30 Zygarde in a Dusk Ball in SMUSUM? I can get the level 30 and the Dusk Ball Separately but I can't figure out a way to get them together on one Zygarde with the Cube. I had a themed team I wanted to try that used 10% form in a dusk ball but I want him at a level that can actually be used during the actual game. God this is why I hate Legendaries, even when there's a way to use one with "fair" stats there's some bullshit getting in the way.

I suppose when the games got sophisticated enough to tell actual stories beyond excuse plots, the anime ended up being hamstrung by following its own plotline while also paying lip service to the games. So by Gen 8 they decided that they didn't need to retell most of Sword and Shield's plotline and just built up Ash into a World Champion trainer. Now that that's been achieved the anime can now focus on telling new stories that don't directly compete with the games.
