POKEMON GEN 6 ANNOUNCED

[Chaoxys]

Nothing lasts forever. The moment X and Y become outdated, there's only a couple of years left on those servers before they're shut down or wiped for the new games. Everyone's data will be lost. Pretty shit move if you ask me.

I believe they said they will use it for future pokemon games/gens as well, so it's not simply going to get wiped. Considering they've wanted to add this since Pokemon Crystal, and the fact that it will make transfering your pokemon from old games to newer ones as easy as possible, yeah, I don't see them simply dropping it.

But what they did reveal was that there is a new online system called "Pokemon Bank" that allows you to store thousands of Pokemon and transfer them to future games. They claim this system will last for a long time so there will be an annual fee...

... Of a measly $5 a year (so about .42 a month). Also you get a month free starting on Christmas. Honestly, I'd rather pay $5 just so I don't have to transfer my 500+ pokemon over from B/B2 6 at a time.

And that's it. 20 minutes and that's it.

There was also a new alpaca pokemon. That and they seemed to have implied that there will be a lot of Mega Evolutions, I don't remember the exact wording though.

Pokemon Box RS online... so if I don't pay do I lose all my pokemon?

From what I've been hearing, it seems like you have an account set up so even if you don't pay, you don't lose your pokemon. I'd be willing to guess that if you don't pay, you simply can't add any pokemon to your bank, but you can potentially withdraw them still.
