That’s kind of what I was talking about with the whole “separate iterations of Pokémon Bank” thing. With the price increase from Bank’s $5 per generation to Home’s $30 and the fact that not every Pokémon will get a game in any given generation, it would be bad PR to jump on the “separate one-way service transfer that makes you pay each iteration separately” when the wound Dexit left in the community is still somewhat fresh.i don't recall separate iterations of Bank. from what i remember, you could use all versions of bank with all gen 6 or 7 games except LGPE, but once a pokemon had been in a gen 7 game, they could not go back to a gen 6 game
I doubt they can support the same iteration of Home indefinitely, but the least TPC can do in order to not immediately fan the flames for Gen 9 is to hold off on one-way transfers until Nintendo’s next console iteration. As for the argument of potentially losing out on more money, they could just up the price of the existing service to $35 and add in a few more boxes to justify it. All of this would not only be avoiding more anti-consumer PR, but it would also make Pokémon Home more enticing in terms of drawing in more customers.
