I don't know if I'm the minority here, but I don't like X and Y that much to begin with, and with Pokémon Bank and Transfer in limbo, that means I can no longer work on my National Pokédex in those games (which I like to do entirely by myself) . So until the bank is released, these games are pretty much worthless to me. I just went to the official Facebook page of Pokémon and looked the comments to the recent posts. I love this one: Quote:

I also see people creating petitions, which aren't getting many signatures. And while this one: We want the App to come as soon as Possible! is plain ridiculous, I wholeheartedly aree with this one: Make Poké Transporter a completely free service that can be used without subscribing to Pokémon Bank, but not for the same reason: at this point, I'm no longer annoyed at the feature being paid, I'm annoyed at Pokémon Transfer not being released on the grounds that it depends on Pokémon Bank, while there was absolutely no need to make Pokémon Transfer an online-only feature (I already explained how it could work offline in another post, I'm not repeating myself here). |

I do agree with the transfer part though, taking that away just so people would use the bank was a dick move. But Nintendo is struggling so anywhere they can get money i guess... |
What if they were actually working on redesigning Pokémon Bank and making it so it stores everything locally on the SD card instead of relying on cloud servers?

people seem to be forgetting about the cafe's across kalos. they may not have all the entries, but it gives you 'dex entries without having to trade for the pokemon. this includes many that are unobtainable in x and y--including legendaries from previous games.

Today, I just found out that my Mew (has Fire Blast) which I had a feeling was a hacked Pokemon I got from GTS in gen V didn't go through Pokemon Bank. :( It is a illegal Pokemon which disappointed me, but oh well. I was able to get Latios and Grovyle transferred over. I can't even trade Thunderus nor Kyurem to get them over to X and Y. I have to un-transform them and retry the normal Kyurem and Zekrom to see if it lets me.
I had this Japanese guy from another forum helped me out; since, he's the very few who has Pokemon Bank still working. Back on topic though, I'm afraid it's not gonna be out anytime soon at all nor will it ever gonna come out. |
I'm wondering if the delay isn't as much about server issues than it is about fixing their hack checks. I was reading about how badly they were working with the original version, and I'd prefer them take a year to release PokeBank with good hack checks than release a shoddy program that allows totally ridiculous Pokemon to come flooding in.
That being said, they should say something about it if that's the case -- keeping us more updated would be the best thing they can do. For now, I have been able to get some of the Bank exclusives and I'm hoping that I can breed those to trade for the ones I'm missing. I'm not expecting it any time soon. |

The most frustrating thing about this whole thing is their sorry excuse for "updates". "We're working on it gaiz. Be patient, kthanks!" does not an update make, Nintendo :( |

I hope all the problems are resolved soon so I can transfer my Pokemon and play with them in Pokemon Amie. ;~;

All I can say about PokeBank is: Please Understand. |

Plus you'd have to trust that they weren't going to screw you over. I'm not sure I'd trust a stranger with all my shinies and event pokemon, even if they did offer to help. |
I'm pretty sure Nintendo said they would give a update some in the early 20's.
But I don't understand the uproar, if their working out some kinks I don't have a problem. Though I more so don't understand the need for it. Who catches enough pokemon to warrant all those extra boxes? And a cloud subsribtion pokemon storage service is the stupidest thing ever. The tranfer part/app I could understand, though I like keeping my pokemon per version since I never complete them. |

But the "uproar" is because we all expected Nintendo to make sure this service would be ready by the time they said it would be, but then didn't because they were somehow unable to see that Christmas+app they know will be popular worldwide+one of their most popular franchises=massive server strain, and probably didn't prepare for it as well as they should have. But that by itself isn't the whole problem. What really turns this into an issue is that Nintendo has told us jack **** since saying "we'll give you more info on the Bank soon". Which was over 3 weeks ago. They did post a tweet the other day, but it was the exact same meaningless thing they already said. And its not like they're working out problems with the Bank. We know it works because a handful of Japanese people have it and it works (some people say that they're working on the hack check, but its just speculation). |
Nintendo has serious issues, projecting losses at the billions for the current fiscal year irc. So PokéBank is the least of their problems, literary.

No one has said it's the end of the world, just very frustrating! A lot of people were looking forward to it for months (I know I was). I imagine I'm not the only person who has stopped playing because of waiting for Bank either. They are handling it badly. The lack of any news is bad. I've said it before in this thread but everyone would be much less irate if there was a vague idea. Even a "We're having issues with Pokebank, we hope to have it sorted in the next x months" would be brilliant. With the amount of people on social media, there's no need to leave a huge section of their fanbase in the dark completely. |
Lots of companies push back release dates, even when they're a week away from the launch date. I think the main exception here is that PokeBank was actually on plan with their release up until the server crash. They must've taken that as a sign that they needed to do some tweaks, and in effect, really came off as an attack on their worldwide fanbase. Everyone wants details, and Nintendo is just one of those companies that likes to keep a tight lid on their inner-workings. Nintendo's main fault here is that they go to the press junkets and keep announcing the same unhelpful statement, "more details on Pokebank and PokeTransporter are coming soon".
I'd rather have the Bank work at 100% efficiency than see it get released haphazardly and full of little issues and glitches that could potentially lead to a cloud error and possible loss of very valuable Pokemon. While I may not be happy with it, I'm willing to wait it out for something that's likely going to be an integral part of all future Pokemon games. |
hopefully, the free trial dates get pushed back with it
