6th Gen Pokemon Bank

[Xander Olivieri]

I heard that the 3DS shop is updated for new games and such on Thursdays... Maybe then? But who am I kidding...

The online shop would update the same day that games are released which are Tuesdays (all major companies) and Sunday (nintendo). The 21st actually was a Tuesday so that much matches right now even if the app isn't a game. We'll be notified when its up or before its up.

It'll be out when they are ready to release it.

Come on people. Bank likely wont be out till late Feb or march. They always release things in Japan first them everywhere else at least two months later

 

[Nah]

That's how it usually is (actually, its sometimes longer than that), but in the case of the Bank, the rest of the world was suppossed to get it 2 days after Japan did. So it's a bit much to expect more than a week or so gap between the Japanese getting the Bank again and the rest of the world getting it.

What do you mean not all that many people are going to be transferring from gen 1 - 5? 100% of the people in this thread are trying to do just that, because currently there is no REAL point in Pokebank right now if you ONLY have X or Y. Yeah there's extra storage, but you can store 930 Pokemon in game right now as it is. Other than extra torage though, there's no actual benefit to it unless you're trying to get your old pokemon from older games into your new game.

I the only previous gen game i have black 2. So no, not 100%, try to keep assumptions to yourself. Idk if you read this thread, but quite a few people, myself inculcated, want to use the bank to store pokemon for a new game.

I'm dropping the GTS talk cuz this in not place to talk about.

they only extended the free trail sign up date till Feb 21, extending it again would be very bad for them. So if by some miracle nintendo gets smart, it'll be out beginning of Feb.

Just like the Import scenes. Japan gets the nice cars before us. :(

They said the free trial is extended upon release. Those that already had it, will get the extension and others are supposed to get the free month. Since Japan got it on the 21st of January, the Month free trial would end on the 21st of Feb.

According to a news article I saw, they're monitoring use of Pokemon Bank in Japan to prep for the release in Eurpoe and then America I can assume.

EDIT: Found the article again.

be nice if we get something before America for once

 

[war rock exe]

I honestly think that we won't get pokebank until late february... I was kinda hoping we'd get it on the 31st because that's when the Celebi event is released i believe...

I seriously hope this means we'll be getting it here in the US in the next few days, but I won't be surprised if we don't get it for another few weeks.

 

[VivaLaJam26]

Some official word and update from Nintendo would be nice.

Guys, don't worry about the free-trial period and the Celebi event. When the Pokebank is released then we'll have 30 days to use Pokebank for free and the Celebi will be there.

Also, the article about them saying they're monitoring the players of Japan is old (Jan. 24). Nintendo tweeted that on Jan.22. I don't know how many days they have to monitor the players but I think we are close to the release.

*conveniently forgets about Black/White*

ftfy
B/W released on March 4th in Europe and on March 6th in NA anyone?

 

[Powerstars]

Rather pissed about Japan getting it back...and the servers already beginning to crack under pressure again.

 

[Sydian]

I don't even care about Bank anymore. If we ever do get it, great. Wonderful. Awesome. But I've already completed my Pokedex and I'm working on collecting more Pokemon now without it and still enjoying the game.

I figure that if we keep worrying about Bank and forgetting about what we already have, we're just going to continually be disappointed for everyday we still don't have Bank. Get your mind off it for a while, and you'll feel better. Enjoy the game. And if you can't and have exhausted your copy, there are other regions that would love for you to return, I'm sure.

You've made some good points & it's a great quote! But honestly, the graphics from previous gens..........ugh, it's Terrible,lol. I'm starting to get use to it now, as I'm playing through Black 2 to get some extra Pokes for Bank.

I need Bank to restart my Y. I really want to restart it but can't. It's annoying to be honest. I made this plan before Pokébank was ever originally going to be released. Now I'm stuck waiting. I can breed and what not but I would just really love to restart.

Had the same problem as you. My friend wont bother to help me either.

lol, if the pokebank is going to be delayed any further, then I'm probably better off farming for the legendaries in my Black 2 and white 2 by resetting one of the games.
