I understand that means you'll get a pop-up to buy the membership if you don't have it, not a in-game purchase only for Pokemon.

Smash had that too when you try to access online without an account.
This just means you'll be prompted for an NSO subscription in game or at a menu, nothing to see here
My longterm hope that Pokémon would be exempt from the paid online requirement, which had a 0.0% chance or happening, has finally dissolved.
It's so crazy to think for the first time you'll have to subscribe to a service in order to trade Pokémon online. It's such a major function. 100% of my trades have been conducted online ever since it became possible, even with real life friends.
I don't know. It's not a lot of money. But it's still weird to think about how it used to be free.

Hmmm, if it's for an in game prompt to sub, why note that separately? Not that I am doubting it, i just find it weird.
Close the thread. It's not what they're saying.
NSO is required but it can be bought by an intake window.

Don't know all of the details, but this seems like kind of a good idea. If someone would only play Pokemon online in terms of Switch titles and didn't want to shell out $20 for a year of NSO, getting them in for $5-10 for just Pokemon seems like a savvy financial move.
