Box/Ranch/Bank

[Poké Bean]

What do you think of these services? Which do you prefer? What would be your ideal?

I've only used Ranch and Bank. Bank I think is a valuable tool for storage and transferring between games. Ranch was a great concept but I was a bit disappointed with it overall. My ideal would be to have a new version of Ranch combined with Bank. So you would keep the functionality of Bank as it is but have another mode you could switch to and enter the Ranch where you can interact with your Pokemon, play games and care for them and such. Plus Hayley would bring special Pokemon to trade with you when you meet the right conditions.

These games/apps are handy for us with Trade Shops, as we need more spaces to place our stocks! I love PokéBank, simple to use and nothing too fancy like Pokémon Ranch.~

I played Ranch the other day and Hayley greeted me by saying that I hadn't been around for 2 years and the Pokemon had missed me. I genuinely felt guilty!

I never got to use Box or Ranch, but I have liked the time i've gotten to use with Bank - it makes it very easy to transfer from one game to another, although it can be inconvenient having to be connected to the internet to use it.

Similarly to above, I haven't used Bank much, either, but from the times I have, I could definitely say that it's a very nifty feature. By being able to store Pokémon in the cloud, chances of us having to lose our Pokémon (that is, if we don't send them over to friends for safekeeping) when creating a new save file are reduced to zero.
