Well, since pokemon bank it has been insanely easy to make a new save. Just transfer all your pokemon to the bank super quick and create a new game. I also have been annoyed by no multiple saves. I'm not a huge end game pokemon guy. I do some breeding/iv/ect stuff and max out maybe a dozen new pokemon each gen, but then I get bored and want to replay the game with new pokemon or a max iv bred pokemon or something.

Yet it was a pain in the ass to do it. Had to trade to a trusted friend or oneself on a second console and trade back. With bank it made it super easy. Though in both cases, your old game is gone. So to go back to end game stuff I need to beat the entire game again.

THis should all be remedied on the switch. Seeing as games ask you (unless you turned it off) what user is playing the game, you should be able to create multiple users on your switch and thus even if the game only has one save you can still technically have multiple pokemon saves on your system. Thus you can have your 100% complete end game/farming/ect save and you can have other saves for fun nuzlokes, wonderlockes, ect.

Don't you have to pay for Pokemon bank though? So you still have to pay extra to do something that's available as standard in pretty much every other game.

Pokémon bank is $5.00 a year.

I would consider that to be a bargain for all that it does.

1. It's a cloud save that keeps your pokemon forever. Even when subscription runs out, when you repay the pokemon are all there still. Trust me, this happened to me.

2. It bridges gaps between a ton of generations. Pokémon bank has allowed gamers to bring their pokemon from the Gameboy all the way to the 3DS. And think of future. not all games work great between another. Lets say your playing pokemon black and then the new pokemon stars comes out or something on switch. It might not be easy to transfer pokemon between the two. But its easy to pop them into bank and get them from there. It's agreat middle ground between different systems.

3. Convenience/sorting. There are 700+ pokemon. I don't think fans of the series like transfering pokemon from each generation forward each time. That is a pain. Nice to just keep all the pokemon you have in one spot and if you ever do want them pop them over into the game.

So will I forgo 1 trip a year to McDonalds for the super convenience of pokemon bank? Yes I will.
