• Pokémon Bank UPDATE



    Nintendo has officially relaunched Pokémon Bank in Asian countries (thus far, only Japan is known for sure). Those who had already downloaded the software must also download a patch. So far, it is only known that this patch is said to have added countermeasures to prevent servers from overloading. In addition, the free trial of the software has been extended to February 21st!

    For those in other countries, including North America, Nintendo has said to stay updated for an official release date via the company's social media platforms.

      It should be released quite soon. The recent news regarding pokebanks delay is just shambles and the release of the news that there will be a competition and the US and Europe not having pokebank clearly gives Various asian countries an advantage ;-;

      I wouldn't count on it. I predicted it would be released at the end of this month due to reports outlining that the trial had been extended to February 21st. Meaning if that was the case it'd have been released on the 26/27/28th of January. I don't like to talk trash that much about Nintendo, but if they are releasing details on a battle competition before they release Pokemon Bank then I'm sorry but that just proves Nintendo are heavily biased towards their home country and their neighbors. To be honest even though I will compete in it, I could care more about Bank being released than I care about doing well in this competition.
      I'm going to predict now that this competition will be released and the rules will allow Pokemon from previous Generations and we won't have Bank and will compete using whatever mix n' match team we can put together.

      I agree completely with that statement.
