Pokémon Bank now available in North America

About time.

Fuck pokemon and final Fantasy series. Every time I see new threads about it I feel sick to my stomach, sorry, had to get it out there.

I hope no one got offended, this is just me venting and I must say, I feel a little better.

Please don't ban me, just venting here a tad, carry on lads.

lol
 
How's the eshop holding up? Hopefully Nintendo fixed the infrastructure by now.
Hardly, the process of moving Pokémon from Gen V-VI still requires constant logging in and out of NNID. The steps required simply to download transporter are a mess.

1)Log into 3DS eShop, download Bank
2)Log into Bank, choose to download Transporter
3)Log back into eShop, download transporter
4)Log into transporter, choose to transport box 1.
5)Log into Bank, move transported Pokémon into X/Y or Bank Proper.
6) start Gen V game, move Pokémon into box 1
Repeat steps 4-6 until you pluck out your own eyes in frustration.
 
Great. Now we need something else to complain about in the eShop threads.

I'm pleased America didn't have to wait for long from Europe.
Cool, will probably start new games this weekend to make sure I get all the starters. Unfortunately the most recent non X/Y game I have is not Black/Black2/White/White2 so I guess I'm out of luck in that regards.
Yeah most places have upped thier used prices for those too to commenorate (well demand has gone up and supply is finite at this point)
 
So, will this benefit me at all having never played a pokemon game?

I am planning to buy X/Y eventually. Probably when it hits $20

*Edit* $20 Used
 
Finally I can get my B/W Haxorus with False Swipe into X/Y and catch some wimpy Pokemon. I haven't had a single goddamned Pokemon in my party the entire game that can actually learn the friggin move.
 
Nice! I'll be downloading my Celebi as soon as I can. Sadly I have no other use for the app, since I don't own any DS Pokemon game.

I feel like there's an off topic thread lurking behind this post...
 
Of course, that's pretty much the point of the service. Actually, I believe you can transfer Pokémon to any version of the game as long as you're doing so from the same NNID.
So if I eventually end up buying Pokemon Z I'll be able to trade with myself, despite only having one 3DS? That sounds great.

This doesn't work for mons that evolve via trading, right?
 
How much is the subscription service? I feel like I should beat Pokemon White first before activating the free trial so I can transfer my guys over.

It doesn't, no. Still need to do actual trades for those.
 
For some reason, it thought the name of my Porygon-Z from Black 2 (which I named "Rikako") was offensive, and changed it back to Porygon-Z. Anyway to change its name, or am I screwed?
 
I kept getting an error message whenever I'm trying to download Pokemon Transporter. Have anyone else try it?

$5 for a year. Useful if you breed a LOT of Pokemon and want to having separate playthrough without losing your mons.

EDIT: nevermind, got the problem fixed by restarting my 3DS. This ought to be good.
 
I'm doing it for the Celebi

You can use a 30 day free trial at any time. No need to use a card or money from your eShop wallet.
After that, it's $5/year.

Official FAQ clearly mentions you can't evolve Pokémon via Pokémon Bank, as you don't exactly trade them. You'll have to find an online friend to help you ;)

I mean you say you're venting but why bother clicking on the link if the topic is something you can't stand.

I'm not a big fan of the Xbox one so I don't bother with it or if I do go inside I stay quite and let the people who are enjoying the Xbox enjoy it without trying to ruin their mood.
 
how do I go about receiveing the celebi?

Deposit something in the Bank box, start X or Y, go to Pokemon Link to get your 100 PokeMiles or 10 BP, start up the bank again, and you'll get the Celebi when you start it up and go back to the bank boxes. Start X/Y again and claim it from Pokemon Link afterwards. You can't soft reset for a specific nature, though.

I usually do that, except this time, couldn't help my self, I tried Gridlock, apologies.
 
Doing the free trial ASAP to get Celebi and will nickname it Serebii :)

I love that Pokemon. Really excited there's a legit way to get it.

I'm downright amazed this poster hasn't been banned yet.

In any case, that's some awesome news. I have tons of pokemon flying all over the place between black, white, black 2, and white 2. Probably still some good ones on platinum too

Should have kept that stupid comment to yourself instead of crapping up a thread, that you have no interest in.

So, will this benefit me at all having never played a pokemon game?

Only if you can see yourself getting into competitive battling, restarting the game but not wanting to lose Pokémon, owning both version but only one 3DS and planing to continue playing into the next generations.

I am planning to buy X/Y eventually. Probably when it hits $20

So never then.

Also that Bridgette...

Hey hey she's my Wafiu along with Cynthia.

You can't re-nickname the Celebi.

The music in Pokemon Bank is trying too hard to be PSO music and it's failing.

Ha ha no, it's fine and quite good.

That's just how it's spelled in romaji. Nothing special about it at all. Now to await the final 3 Pokémon.

I bet it will crash by the time I get home from work before I can even download it :3

whoa there cowboy if you don't have anything nice to say keep it to yourself.
 
Ugh, the combination of Time Warner Cable and Nintendo Network stuff being horrible is making this such a chore to try to download. And why the hell do I have to wait for the entire eShop to load before I can exit through the home button?

Uggggh.
 
Since the Pokemon belonged to another trainer (my trainer in Black 2), there's no way I can change its name from within Pokemon bank or X/Y, is there?

It sucks, but I guess I'll have a nicknameless Pokemon.

Anyways, excited to see it's finally here. Got a few friends from Black 2 that I'd love to kick upstairs.

This thread is now about this comment.

On topic though, I'll wait on activating it for a while. Gotta buy White and Black 2 this week and start transferring my 'mon's from Heart Gold to it! :D

I'm sorry but if you feel "sick to your stomach" and the need to "vent" about something like this... I think you need some time off from the Internet.
 
Just downloaded it with no issues and got my Celebi - the whole process was surprisingly painless (although it is annoying that the Pokemon Link seems to have a capacity of 1?)

Hey, my post was not intended to offend anyone, I even apologized in advance just In case. I only wanted to unload crap quick. It's just my opinion about a game which thread was made about.

It never happenes, this is the only time I openly took a massive gargoylelike dinodump On something i truly dislike, y ban for that?
