The one company still committed to physical releases? And let's be clear: The Pokemon company has three owners, and is not just owned by Nintendo. Save your Nintendo hate for the next time they go after organized criminals with a justified lawsuit.
I mean, it's on their machine, not yours. The server is not free, and if you don't trust Nintendo, you don't give them the only copy of your data. This is a fact of life and barely a preservation issue.
I literally don’t store my stuff on their servers anymore. I’ve long given up on the Big N. What’s annoying is that this is yet another service Nintendo is killing off, making it harder for people to transfer their Pokemon out of older games (without mods).
