Pokémon Bank released in EU and NA!
 

I have all my Pokemon on my Y card now!

Why does Europe get it before America? That makes no sense (unless Europe's eShop updates before America's), and I'm even more angry because of it.

It's because NOA is useless. Literally. They generally have no say over this kind of stuff.

*continues waiting patiently* I'm not in a huge hurry to get it, but it would be nice so I can start working on my Living Pokédex and clearing out Pearl.

I have a feeling people are going to start having flame wars since it was released in Europe, but not in the US.

Didn't something like this happen when Black and White were released?

Now watch as we wait another stinken month for the US to get it.

I doubt it. The biggest problem with the Pokémon Bank is that Nintendo and Game Freak have refused to inform their customers of the product's release, while the delay of video games (and Black/White weren't delayed) always comes with announcements, and usually not "it's in stores now" when they finally announce something (unless you happen to have been Sega releasing the Saturn). This whole event has caused their PR departments a lot of flack. Japan was completely surprised by it last month, just like Europe and Oceania were this time, so I'm sure whenever it comes out for North America it'll be a complete surprise again.

Hey if u got any Bank legends (Like groudon and kyogre) can we do trade backs? I want to get the rest of the Dex done, so i can get the shiny charm while we US folks has to wait.

Right now I am so angry about this.

I've tried really hard to patent and I have already broke.

I do some soon, but not today or tommorow, because I'm out.

The only reason I can think that the US didn't get it is because that they are testing the new servers on the EU and/or want to ease it out in different areas so there isn't one huge overload of people charging on at once.

I've gotten a few bank legends on the GTS (only like 3) but im still missing a few. I dont want to list the rest as theres like 15 of them.

The Pokémon Company said that NA should be getting Pokémon Bank "soon." Of course, nothing is specified. I just want to download it so I can transfer everything and be done with this Pokebank mess forever.

Y'know, there are two distinct groups of people who want the bank: those who want it to transfer their Pokémon forward, and those who want it to store more Pokémon than X/Y can hold. Of course, there are plenty of people in the middle, too.

I don't necessarily trust cloud storage for some reason, and with all these delays and issues I certainly don't trust them too much. All I need is one transfer of everything and I'll be set. I already have the Pokedex completed, some extra breeding and it can be a Living Pokedex (minus all forms of Vivillon. Waaaay too much for me.)

I noticed that even with EU having pokebank, i dont see any GTS legends that are not in Japanese. Its like they didnt put any up for trades. (Cause some people do anyways)

It's only been out for a few hours, so most folks are probably just trying to transfer the stuff they need most just in case it goes out.

I figured that was the case. Well i see 2 english zekroms, not if was any of the EU folk.

As for this being released in Europe first, I don't mind. There's probably a smaller population of people there to download it, and this way they can gradually work up to releasing it in America (and all the strain put on the servers as a result of that). As for people who think this is unfair? Grow up. They don't get much sooner than us, so you have no right to get your panties in a bunch. I want to have my Pokemon forward to complete my living dex, and also because I need more space for my breeding habits... 30 boxes just doesn't seem to do it for me! I haven't decided whether to trust cloud storage or trust I won't lose my game, so I'll have to cross that bridge when I get there...

It's out in NA now!

*checks eShop*

*seriously ponders being a Canadian forever on his Nintendo 3DS*

I thought I'd be happy when this was finally released. But... I feel nothing. Oh well, time to get all the transferring done so I can start my breeding adventure. I've decided to use X version as my Living Pokédex. I don't have $5 to spend a year so I can't really sue it beyond this.

I feel like I've reached salvation. When I get home from school I'm going to spend quite some time checking out my old Pokémon's 3D models...

This day just got a lot better. I'm not even mad that it took a month and a half to come out at this point, I'm just glad it's finally been released.

Oh boy, I'm going to have a lot of fun transferring from My Pokémon Ranch. This is going to take a while. :P

I spent three hours transferring but had to take an hour break to shovel.

Now I can't go on pokebank because my internet failed once wtf!

Please tell me this includes UK.

Sweet, got a Modest Celebi with 15/31/31/25/31/31

Just a friendly reminder you can have an Unown in Poke Amie

Did anyone get a Calm nature celebi with 31 ivs in HP/Def/Sp.def? I got timid but it had 31 ivs in HP/Atk/Speed. I wanted a calm nature one. :(
I'll trade you something for it. Also im happy now, got my Shiny Charm and my legends i needed. (I mostly needed my Shiny Azelf)

I got a Docile Celebi with perfect HP, SpAtk, and SpDef. I kinda wish you could soft reset for a good nature.

Meloetta and I have reunited again!

Now that Pokebank is out I'm thinking about restarting my game just so I can multiple of the same items.

You cannot deposit Pokémon with items on the Bank. You'll need to trade them to someone else for safe-keeping.

Oh gosh, tell me about it. I have Pokemon from Ranch, Colosseum, XD, FireRed and Emerald that I need to bring forth. It'll be a nightmare with the Pal Park...

Ugh. I'm just trying to get the legendaries from Dream Radar and then I'll transfer my few pokemon left on White 2. I've transfered 440+ pokemon from White and White 2 altogether and it was such a pain. With Bank out, maybe all we have to do next generation is upload all of our Pokemon to the cloud, insert said 7th gen game and move the Pokemon over.

Still sucks we cant store items from X&Y to Bank. Im trying to figure out when the next set of games come out, how are we going to move items over?

Ughhhh I got a Mild Natured Celebi.. I hate that you can't soft-reset for a good natured one.

I got a Docile Celebi with max HP, SpAtk, and SpDef IVs. It's a shame it isn't Calm, but I feel lucky enough. :3

Well at least you got close to what i was looking for.

Odd, I have a Pokémon that refuses to transfer through Pokémon Bank. The game's hack check seems to think it is not legitimate, when I am absolutely sure I caught it myself without cheating.


Leavanny / Lv. 20 / No item / Male
Quiet / Overcoat / Very finicky.
- Tackle
- String Shot
- Bug Bite
- Razor Leaf

Caught in a Hidden Grotto on October 27, 2012
Used a Nest Ball


My only guess is they forgot to include Leavanny with Overcoat in their exceptions list for Pokémon that can be obtained in-game without Dream World or breeding.

All my hacked Pokémon passed the checks, but yours actually looks legitimate. If you truly caught it then it shouldn't be a stat problem, but maybe just a Hidden Grotto glitch with the hack check. I've heard other stories of Contrary Snivy getting through, so I dunno.

I got an obviously hacked Skunktank in Gen IV that passed the inspection.

Can I access the same PokeBank through a different Nintendo Network account?

No, you can only access one instance of the Bank from one 3DS system.

This is just a friendly reminder that Pokémon Bank passes are most likely expiring around now. Be sure to renew it if you want to continue using it, especially if you have a lot of Pokémon stored in it and don't use it frequently.

And if you haven't gotten them, the Johto starters with hidden abilities are still available.

Hey if anyone is or was unable to get the johto starters with there hidden abilitys, i got extras if u need any of them.
