Switch Online's 'Missions & Rewards' Adds Pokémon Scarlet & Violet DLC Icons

I added one of the icons, and my Switch immediately sputtered and crashed.

Good way to know who on your friends list is willing to shell out 60 dollars for an unfinished game and another 35 for unfinished dlc

STARTER ICONS PLEASE.

@weisske I mean, it's a good way to find out which of your friends spent 10 points on an icon.

Matcha Pokemon as an icon, yes! Instant get.

@Henchdog I guess but 10 points isn't worth near as much as 60 dollars.

@weisske Yeah but people could buy those icons without even owning the game.

@weisske : And another US$20-$50 on an online subscription when online multiplayer was free on prior hardware, and another US$16 for an annual Pokémon HOME subscription.

It seems that the more we're expected to pay, the poorer the quality we get in return.

@Sisilly_G We paid $80 for a NSO + Expansion family plan and I think it's a great deal considering we all get the Mario Kart and Animal Crossing DLC, plus all the classic games. I paid a lot more than that for a handful of games on the Wii Virtual console.

@Jiggies If you've been paying for it for three years that's already $240 before tax, and if you want to not make that almost $500 in another 3 years by canceling you'll lose that DLC because you don't actually own it, you're paying $500 to rent it every 6 years.

@SpaceboyScreams I only got the subscription for the first time last month and it's used by me and my 2 siblings, so we're paying less than a penny a day; I think we'll be fine.

@Jiggies : If the cost is split between eight people, then I wouldn't dismiss the value for money on offer, but AU$30 for a single user, I think, is a rip-off, considering that I'll come out empty-handed in the end (as opposed to previous generations where you could buy games outright).

@weisske,

Or who just simply enjoy games without being overly obsessive about it, it's the core minorities who spend far too much time playing videogames, and then discussing them on internet forums. The mass majority who bought this game will simply play and enjoy it, totally unaware of any issues or the fact they are even being discussed in the first place.

Let it go, if you do not personally like this game then do not buy it, stop trying to suggest others are somehow wrong for not having the same issues with this game, which is far from the trainwreck some are suggesting on here.

I have no issues with you or others not liking these games, but does it have to taint every sngle related Pokemon scarlet and violer thread, I mean the games performance update articles, sure..... but an article about the games mission icons.... not so sure.

@Jiggies,

Of course it's a great deal, it's approx $0.219 per day for your whole family, if people think this is expensive. then I am not sure what to tell them.

Although they do always have the option to vote with their wallets and not subscribe.

@somnambulance As a lot of stuff nowadays, it was blown way out of proportion and there's lots of parroting with many people having no idea of what they are talking about. The games are far from perfect and they should run better, but they are also a big step in the right direction in many ways and the most fun and ambitious that Pokemon has been in a long time. Good to know that you are having fun.

@johnvboy extremely well said.

@kid_keo,

Thanks for that.
