    • There is no way of being able to transfer pokemon from one to another, yet. I am pretty sure you will need two ds systems.

    • You will get a 30 day trial which should be enough time to transfer them all. I would advise you make sure you have all that you need in Gen V before the pokemon bank opens (if you don't intend to pay the 5$ yearly fee). Though, I'm guessing competitive players will, in order to keep using gen IV move tutors... You could even transfer all the way from gen III if you have a DS O.o (4 gen transfer makes my head spin)

    You only need one system. You transfer your Pokemon from Gen 5 into the Pokebank and get on your Gen 6 game and pull them out. Easy as that.

    I've been a bit confused about transferring Pokemon over from HG/SS and later. Will we essentially have to jump them over to B/W, and then we'll be able to simply transfer them over to the Pokemon Bank?

    That's exactly what you have to do. The PokéTransporter (what you'll use to transfer your Pokémon from the DS to the 3DS games) is only compatible with the G5 games, meaning you need two DSes to transfer anything from HG/SS to B/W (or BW2) so you can upload them to the Bank. However, you only need one 3DS to upload your BW/2 Pokémon to the Bank.

    • Gameboy games to P/D/PT.
    P/D/PT + HG/SS to B/W
    B/W to B2/W2?? (I don't know if you can transfer straight from older DS games to B2/W2 or if you need to get it to the originals first
    Then Pokebank Transfer.

    I will be pulling out my Gamecube to transfer some Gale of Darkness pokemon all the way to pokemon X/Y for fun and for the rares.

    Ontopic with the Rates. Guys, you bought a 3DS/3DSXL and Pokémon x/Y, but I don't know why everyone is upset with a little $5 to pay for Pokebank. I saved $30 buying my 3DSXL and pokemon Y game together. That pays for 6 YEARS if I choose to do so.
    IMHO, I feel that Pokebank is DEFINITELY worth the $5 a year. I was sad at first cause I thought it was monthly, but yearly... that's no problem!

    Thanks!

    And I would agree, it ends up being like 42 cents per month. I'm pretty sure between now and the end of December we could all find $5 in change on the sidewalk if we really wanted to.

    • I hate transferring form Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen to Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver then to Black/White/Black 2/White 2. Pokemon Bank is gonna make transferring so much better. I loved how the Pokemon Relocater worked in Black and White.
