I respect and understand your opinion, to certain point. Know i know 5 dollars aint much, but let me fill in a gap: Not everyone lives in a first world country now with that in mind let me explain to you how things work here in my country, if i were to buy pokebank sure the best idea would be to use a credit card right? no big deal. BUT WAIT oh you cant use local credit cards can you? noup only way could work would be a international credit card and pay additional fees just for that i say no thank you to that, whats my other option then? a e-shop card? COOL but oh wait... we dont have a official nintendo distributor shop, heck we barely got us a decent store where you could buy legit copies of games... now that to mention we do somehow manage to ship them here in our country, down side to it? well if you want to pay an extra 15 bucks for handling and shipping that takes us to a whooping $35 just to be able to get yourself "PokeBank" Perspective right? now including that let me tell you the trip just to get to that store would be around 10 bucks of gas. With $45 i might as well just buy another game...

Just saying. Seriously, a large bag of chips is $4. Perspective! ;-)

5 dollars isn't that horrible no... believe me if it was that easy here on my country i would have the exact same opinion as you have. but sadly the only legit easy way here ain't no easy way... With the 8 years of pokemon bank yoy could buy. Here with my conditions i would only be able to buy one year. As i repeat i respect your opinion and by anymeans try to contradict it, not even the slightest chance of going against it no. But seriously dont forget that you and your country isnt the only one with access to the game, third world countries have that privilege too. Don't blame me for not having the easiness that you have to access pokebank i'm sure as hell that it isn't my fault to live here. Just putting you on another perspective and please PLEASE don't get me wrong with my reply i'm here to put the tails side of the quarter.
PD: The next time you get yourself a big bag of chips, think about me... that could mean a whole year of pokebank to me ;) Perspective...right?
BIG EDIT:
I might as well correct about the official Nintendo shop i mentioned. What i meant was Nintendo distributors shops AKA gamestop, wall-mart etc. You get the point. thanks
