lol the bank is hilarious. My brother just tried to send some hacked mons from Black2 to his pokebank... All of 8 em were let in, but his legit Lugia that he'd brought through from SS to black2 was blocked. So he tried making a new Lugia using Pokegen with max IVs and EVs and it got through lol.

O_O' oh you silly devs...

Same here. Some legit DW Pokémon and my legit cloned Coliseum Bonus Disc Jirachi wouldn't go through. I'm going to hack some event Jirachi to make up for it.

Really the only thing that I find tedious is the Gen 4 to 5 transfer, which is only somewhat relevant, but still. Most of my 'mons are still on Pearl, never got them to BW. Don't understand why they couldn't just use all DS games for transfer.

So how does being ungrateful feel like?

You can literally transfer 30 Pokémon at the same time in like 15 seconds and all you gotta do is move them out of the transfer box and put more Pokémon in Box 1.

Sure, it could have been made faster, but really? To go and complain that the transfer process is "friggen' tedious"? Come on...
Would you rather be limited to 6 Pokémon at once a day and having to take the time to go and find them in tall grass to capture them back?
 
Also, did anyone not get their Celebii?
I tried to get it, but all I got was BP points.

Here's how u can get Celebi...
1. Download Pokémon Bank.
2. Go into the app, and set up your Bank.
3. You'll be given a choice to receive 100 Pokémiles or 10 BP from Brigette. Choice either, and after this choice, save, quit, and go back onto Pokémon X/Y.
4. On the opening screen of Pokemon X/Y, open "Pokémon Link" (green button at the bottom).
5. Select "Yes" to "retrieve data using Pokémon Link."
6. You should receive your 100 Pokémiles/10 BP.
7. Now, go back into the Pokémon Bank app and repeat steps 3-6. Brigette will give you a Celebi instead of the 100 Pokémiles/10 BP.

Ok, seems you have to go back and talk to Bridgette after getting the initial dose of BPs/Miles via the link. Than she offers up the event Pokemon for you to get via the Link. I wanna bonk the Bank website for not fully explaining this tidbit.

it said when you first launch the bank that nicknames and OG trainers are wiped, so it should let you renickname with the name rater, shouldn't it?

It only changed the names if they were offensive. I just got mine. If neither the OT nor the nickname trigger the filter then they stay as they are. My entire Skyrim themed team kept their names.

Lets look at the history of transferring.

Gen 3 to Gen 4. Can only transfer 6 a day. Had to wait 24 hours before a new transfer could be done. Had to do a small catching game and actively search for the Pokemon. No Items or HMs allowed.

Gen 4 to 5. Could only send over 6 at a time. Could be done as many times as you wanted. No Items or HMs allowed. The PokeTransfer game was difficult to aim and the Pokemon were sometimes hard to hit with the Pokeballs.

Gen 5 to Gen 6. Ports an entire box of 30 at one time. Can be done as much as you want. Takes a few seconds to switch cartridges from Gen 5 to Gen 6 to update the bank and move from transfer to a bank box. Only Items cannot be transferred and are automatically removed.


Oh yes....So tedious. So much work and definitely not any easier than in the past.


Just to help your point~



As for myself: Movie Event Genesect, Therian Tornadus, and Terakion transferred witout a hitch so far.
 
Finally...Finally!!!!FINALLY!!!!! asdfdscvrfgbdfw It's been too long! Finally I can send my beloved to the new frontier. XD

Has anyone else been having trouble opening up the Bank after downloading it?

Probably over 100 times now, I open up Pokémon Bank, sit through loading screens, listen to Brigette's monologue about the limitations on transferring items, and then upon the next loading screen, I disconnect from the Internet.

I initially thought it was just extremely high traffic, but my brother downloaded the app about an hour after I did and he's already got his Celebi. >_>

Hm, well, that's pretty weird. Haven't faced the problem myself, so I'm not really sure how to fix this, but... maybe you could try clearing your connection settings and set-up a new one? If that doesn't help, perhaps you should delete the app and re-install it. d:

That...actually worked. I don't know why I didn't think of that before. XD
 
Has anyone been successful with sending over a Mew? That is all i really want and I can't seem to make a Mew that will pass. Any ides?
 
If you're membership runs out, what happens to your pokemon still left in the bank?

I had a shiny mew come across with no problems. My Issue was a shiny regigigas. Wasn't there an "event" to get a low level one that could be rng'd to be shiny?
