Okay, okay, okay, maybe I understand wifi. But even then, it's not THAT much data. What more is it besides name, species, level, xp, shiny status, IVs, EVs, caught location, and items? That's just 9 or so values, and they're all text and numerical based.
Organizing my items by having pokemon in boxes holding them is way too tedius of an act later in the game, and even if I did, it'd still be a pain. It's not a matter of 'Why not just do it the hard way' than it is 'Why didn't they let me do it the easy way?'.
Call me impatient, but I thought I was playing a game of raising virtual creatures and battling them for entertainment, not 'Find the macho brace in the bag of 200 items'.
