@MrMilkmann Why still use discs BTW? Even an Sd card can hold up to 32GB, reads much faster than any disc, saves energy as it doesn't needs to spin, is smaller and more portable, the slot is smaller compared to a disc drive and is actually cheap enough to be used as a form of distribution (like Vita or 3ds games that comes on Sd-like cards).
A Pokemon data structure in Gen 4 is just 136 bytes long. 136 * 3000 = 408000 bytes = 398KB = 0.3MB. So you'll actually be paying for LESS than 1MB of online space, so small they could store the entire Pokemon collection of all players in the world in a cheap 1-2TB hard drive...
And they will surelly charge you like $30-50 a year for that.
