You're travelling through Kalos in X & Y and you come across a part where you really stuck as you are severely underlevelled and you can't beat a certain Gym Leader. You then access your Generation V games (Black/White/Black2/White2), attach a load of Rare Candies that were obtained by cheating/hacking to Pokémon and upload them to the Pokémon Bank. In X & Y, you retrieve these items and use them and your Pokémon are now level 1000000000 and can take on anything. To me it just ruins the challenge - I understand that it's a personal thing and whilst this person might go about this method, it doesn't mean I have to, but I like to think that everyone would be in the same boat with these games. That was only point really. |

I'm the type of person that likes to buy both copies of the Pokémon games, so this should make transferring my Pokémon from these two games much, MUCH easier than in the past. Also, $5 a year is chump change for me.

$5 a year is nothing in my book. I can't wait for this. Sure, it's a bit disappointing that they decided to charge us for such a thing, but it's not surprising at all. Definitely great they found a way to get previous generation mons' transferred over though, was beginning to get a bit worried.
I'd also have a hard time seeing them banning (legal) hack mons' from the bank. Isn't this bank capability strictly for our own uses and not for trading purposes? It's ultimately for transferring and storing, so whether it's hacked or not, I can't see why that would be banned. Not like this is strictly for competitive uses, right? Totally didn't see that post above. |
I don't know if this was asked or not but I clone Pokemon on Emerald using the cloning glitch, now if I had 3 Dratini that were cloned from 1 Dratini, would they all be allowed in?

This restriction, I think, will only really depend on how accurate the information is on the hacked Pokemon. It'll probably be the more obvious stuff, such as having a 5th generation Pokemon saying it was caught in Johto for example. Maybe some less obvious things too, but I can't see this getting too too technical. Just my opinion though. |

The Gen 4 games incompatible with the transfer despite being the same platform as the Gen 5 is maybe due to the fact that the Gen 4 games have no data that allows them to be compatible with any 3ds app. Black 2 and White 2 are compatible with one particular 3DS app(Pokemon Dream Radar) but the original Black and White however don't have any 3DS compatibility. Maybe the 3DS compatibility was already inputed in the games, and so gives the reason why the Gen 5 game cartrige on the 3DS menu looks animated(the Pokeball swinging ever so often) while the Gen 4 titles in the 3DS appear static.

Was initially excited, but the having to pay part turn me off. So I will just say a big no-no to this Pokemon Bank and Transfer thing.
A noob question though, is this the only way to transfer from 5th gen to 6th gen? |

An annual fee of $5 is not much at all, it's a very reasonable price when you take into consideration the service and upkeep they have to provide throughout the whole year.

And yeah items can't be transferred at least in the recent transfers. I do wonder if the Pokémon may gain items if it's a certain species sort of like how in Gen 1 to Gen II transfer some gain certain items irc. |
If you have to pay for this feature, I'll never be able to use it.
Why? To pay for things online you need bank details. I have none, and my mother would say no. She's in charge of all finances until I get a job [unlikely]. So it looks like, for me and everyone else who can't do the money thing, generation 6 will be a fresh start, just like how generation 3 was. |

Besides, for all we know it might eventually become a free service anyway, or a free alternative may pop up. |

Flashcard Compatibility with Pokémon Bank/Pokétransporter
Okay, question in regards to the compatibility of Pokémon Bank. Whilst I understand the talking about flashcards might be prohibited, my question doesn't raise any legality issues, however, I'm simply asking a question of what-ifs etc. The announcement of Pokémon Bank and Pokétransporter is an exciting one - we are finally able to play our hard earned Pokémon in full 3D! However, quite recently I've been playing Drayono's amazing hack of Black 2 (called Blaze Black 2) and whilst I have the game already it's fun to play a hack; within this game you are able to catch every single Pokémon in some way or another. My question is: Would the Pokémon Bank/Pokétransporter be compatible with Pokémon games located on a flash card? |
No.
Much like Pokemon Dread Radar, these apps would be completely incompatible with Pokemon games stored on flash cards. |
We're not Serebii, you can discuss this.
It won't happen because the app won't recognize the card. |
Another note is that Pokemon Bank can only transfer legit Pokemon. Any hack game has all of its Pokemon as hacked. Even an R4 device won't read with Bank because it doesn't have the games coding directly in the device. I know of a few exceptions for EMU's and ROM's but PM me if you want to hear them.

The real reason is the other thing you said: hardware incompability. The flashcart isn't recognized by the app, because it isn't a real cart. |

But the answer was both a disheartening one, but enlightening one. I myself have been playing Blaze Black 2 and have been catching a plethora of amazing Pokermens ready to transfer over the Pokémon X & Y, but now the only way I am going to be able to do it is to trade them over to my friend's legit copy of the game and then upload them to Pokémon Bank from his copy - the only thing is though is that I would end up with all of his Pokémon on my flashcard as you can't trade something for nothing. :( Any alternatives that you guys can see for me to get around this? :) |
