Hopefully you're right, even though apparently the GL got nothing to do with Pokebank. Honestly though, tomorrow seems like a more than logical release date, being two weeks since Japan got it. Anyways, I'm hoping it gets released tomorrow, because I'm getting really sick of this wait, especially since there has been no announcement about the release date. Also, if I remember correctly, the maintenance period is a little longer than usual...................
At this point it's an exercise in futility to expect anything "logical" with this whole situation. Nintendo's proven logic isn't really their biggest priority.
