I had a dream last night were I went on Nintendo's twitter (America or Europe, not sure which one) and their latest tweet was Pokemon Bank is going to come out this weekend. I was so happy until I actually went on their twitter in real life to see not a single tweet talking about the date of Pokemon Bank. Hoenstly, I din't know what Nintendo is thinking, are they trying to please their customers by making them wait when it's already out in Japan? Or is this to our benefit?
you know what I think.. I think I might be bit too cynical but... what if Nintendo and Gf is trying to make us forget all about pokemon bank and poketransporter by delaying its realise date? they will keep on saying soon until it is well into MARCH and AUGUST and they will realse "pokemon Z" and we will all be taking about it and GF and Nintendo will be like "crisis averted.."
so the third game in the trio that has traditionally been released TWO YEARS after the first two games (Ruby & Saphire released 2002/2003 (depending on region) and Emerald released 2004/2005, Diamond & Pearl released 2006/2007 and Platinum released 2008/2009, even Pokemon Black & White released 2010/2011 was followed by Black 2 & White 2 in 2012) is going to be moved ahead to 5 - 9 MONTHS after release of the previous games JUST to make us forget about a $5 a year downloadable app?
The wait should be for our benefit. You'd think they're working on fixing the hack check and making sure that the servers can handle a large load. But I'm having trouble waiting for it...woulda been nice if it worked as planned and we all had the PokeBank already.
They cant be working on a fixing hacked Pokemon if poketransporter is already back up in japan.

Or... they will release Bank once they feel the system is stable enough to take the influx of activity for it, as opposed to sacrificing an avenue for $$$ while risking that people wouldn't forget (and not all of us have short memories =p).you know what I think..

I want it to hurry up T_T
Once it's available I can finish my pokedex lol. I only need the unobtainable legends and I have them all waiting on black 2 >.< Once it's open I get my darn shiny charm! lol
Quite impressive! You know though, it's possible to drop one of your legends into the GTS requesting one of the unavailable ones.... one you get it for your dex entry pop it back into the GTS asking for another one.... etc until you fill your dex entries up. It's slow, and you do not get to keep them, but it does work as a way to fill your dex now while waiting for the bank to come up. No one seems to be trading the event only ones (Mew, Celebi, Jirachi........ ) right now, at least a LOT of people are requesting them, but no one seems to be depositing them (as near as I can tell). Of course, the event only Pokemon are not required to fill your National Dex anyway.
I personally want Transporter and Bank open more for sentimental reasons. I want to take my favorite teams and bring them forward. Most of my favorite species I have been able to get without having the bank personally, but due to always loving the Johoto Starters in particular, had Japan not already had access to the bank I would be dying a little more inside (yay, such happy thoughts go out to those people who Wondertraded and/or GTSed their bred unobtainables out into the world).
I will continue to grit my teeth and bear with the frustration, it is a little easier since I have been able to get so many of the unobtainables I wanted. What I do find odd.... A few of the ones you can breed such as Meowth are particularily hard to come by on the GTS.
