Pokémon Bank Celebi Promotion

Pokémon Bank is set to launch soon worldwide and will enable trainers to store and transfer their Pokémon as they please. In addition to this it was recently revealed that players will be able to receive a special Celebi if they connect to the cloud storage system before 30 September 2014, access Pokémon Link. While details are scarce, it is currently known the the Time Travel Pokémon will arrive in your copy of X & Y at Level 10, with the moves  Recover, Heal Bell, Hold Back and Safeguard.

Perhaps we should just let all our fantastic readers know that we are all still alive. This time of year is oddly hectic for all of us and it sadly means we’re having to push back our plans. We’ll be back in full swing soon though!

  1. Celebi events ALWAYS end in not saving my game. It’ll happen again, I tell you. Not an option. The PokeGods make it happen. And on my favorite legendary.

  2. That is actually really great I dont use legends but Celebi is one of my favorites plus I never got that one so it will be a nice bonus 🙂

  3. Each gen there’s a legendary a trio. In 5th gen there were 3. There are 3 games in a generation except for gen 1 which had 4 and 5 that had 4. 4+4=8 8÷2 =4 4-1=3 . There are 3 regis in gen 3 and 1 in gen 4 add that 1 to the previous 8 and you get 8. 9 ÷3 = 3. my IQ. Is 3. Up until gen 3 There were 3 gens. There is a trio in gen 3. I used to have a TRIcicle. There are 3 parts to the TRIforce. I take 3 tablets a day to help me with my mentality… half life 3 confirmed. :p

  4. Since only one celebi is being distributed that means you will either have a physical attacker/ bulk or special attacker/ bulk

  5. We all know jigglypuff is bound to be in ssb4, but who’ll be the big fighter like Lucario or Mewtwo,
    and what of they bring back Pokemon Trainer with squirtle, Ivysaur and Charizard or will they go Johto with Totodile Bayleef and Typhlosion?

    and an even better question what new Pokeballs will they employ maybe 5th or 6th gen pokemon?

    • Breed 7-10 boxes of eggs, dont hatch as you go, just collect, collect, collect. Takes about 4 hours to collect 10 boxes(I highly recommend doing 10), and then proceed to hatch them all using the fastest method (center of Luminouse City around the Gym). I have gotten at least one shiny with MMing EVERY single time I have done my 10 box method. Its very time consuming, but if you have spent 2 months on trying for a MM Budew, what have you got to lose?

      • Hmm good point
        The only Ghost Fighting type I can (currently) imagine is a disembodied pair of Boxing gloves floating around and punching people

          • Lucario is already too cool to be a ghoul
            there’s also so many type combos that need to exist
            Like a Ground Fighting

          • Mega Golurk could also be Ground/Fighting. Ghost/fight would make sense. Wouldn’t it be reasonable for a Mega Rhyperior to be ground/fight?

          • Mega Rhyperior is a different story, as much as i desire a Ground/Fighting type, I feel Rhyperior wouldn’t lose his Rock type

  19. Making a german team and see the german Zoroark in box one. Hmm. Azumarill, HAxorus, Aegislash, Zoroark, Blissey and one other Pokemon. Got a Timid German Ralts, but it;s female.

        • I was thankful Effect Spore didn’t activate xD Robin was my only hope to take out that Nidoking. If Effect Spore say, put me to sleep, Sir Aaron takes Robin out, and it’s all downhill from there xD

          Reply
          • gah oxo i thought you had more pokemon though XD
            and im gonna guess the ability doesnt activate when the pokemon dies XD like rapid spin

          • Effect Spore has an 11% chance of inducing sleep upon, 10% chance of poisoning, or 9% chance of paralyzing (30% chance to activate in total) a Pokemon that connects with a contact move 🙂

            I had Gliscor (Nidoking destroys with Ice Beam), Sableye (Not much it can do offensively to Nidoking), and Mawile (Death by Ground) left. If Robin was gone, Nidoking finishes the rest of my team off ;P

  36. -didnt notice the poll- yes imma buy it despite putting ‘ i dont know’. i just put that because it’s not that i find the price pricey …cause…5 dollars. but that i sorta wish it was just an add on for free XD; im not that big of a fan of games making us buy extra stuff to go with a game we already spent, even though i know that’s how games are becoming lately :/
    -too old style-

    • It’s not DLC. It’s an app that has connectivity to the game. You don’t need it to play online and isn’t part of the game itself. Gamefreak isn’t making you pay for anything. The fact that it is only five dollars A YEAR shows how Gamefreak is NOT greedy. Huge servers like that, as it is on a cloud, is pretty expensive to upkeep. Operations is all about outputs and inputs. If something cost money to make, companies have to make some sort of profit, or at least a favorable loss, else they’d bankrupt.

      Many games have become corrupted with DLC, but a lot of DLC is actually really enjoyable. Some games, like Borderlands 2, introduced an ENTIRE CAMPAIGN as downloadable content. It was practically its own well made game for like, fifteen bucks. There can be good DLC, so I can’t say I’m against the concept.

  37. About the Poll…it’s a good price. But I most likely won’t be buying it. I’ll just have to trade for other starters/unavailable Pokemon from the rest of you guys….

  39. My brother gave me a 50 dollar gift card for the Eshop for my birthday. Guess I have ten years of Pokebank. =D

    But it’s still a very fair price. More than that…I think it’s a surprisingly CHEAP price. I don’t think you kids realize how -cheap- five dollars is. A bottle of soda is $2.75 where I live. Keep that in perspective.

    XBL is $60 for one year. Pokebank is $5 for one year. I get it is an app but it’s still a very impressive app, letting you easily transfer Pokemon from old generations with a simple grab and drag. I don’t know about you guys, but I’d play five dollars for click and drag instead of that pokeball catapult game. I don’t care how fun people want to claim that was, it was tedious when all I wanted to do was trade my old mons over.

    This is also an app that Gamefreak has said they will continue to use for a long time. This isn’t a current gen thing that they’ll drop when the next gen comes out. You pay annually for a dedicated program where you can store a large amount of your Pokemon conveniently and easily. Meaning, your annual five dollars isn’t going to be wasted.

    If it was five dollars a month, then yes, I would agree it is over the top. However, it’s annually. Yearly. You pay for the year. You even get a free month in the beginning where you can either try it out or abuse it to quickly transfer whatever you want over to X and Y and NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. You even get a sweet Celebi out of the deal. My God it’s so cheap I wouldn’t even realize those five dollars disappearing.

    The other thing…Gamefreak is a fair company. They have no history forcing any consumer to buy overpriced DLC. They deliver free downloadable pokemon like candy. They don’t care, it didn’t cost too much to create and it makes fans happy with them. Consumer support and happiness is very, very important to companies, especially Japanese companies, they take that shit seriously. However, not all apps and programs are free. They cost money to make. If companies put out money to make things and demanded nothing in return, the imbalance of finances would put the company in danger. Basically, you went out and bought some lemonade for five dollars. You charged nothing for the lemonade you sell to people. You don’t ever make that five dollars back you spent on the lemonade. You might think ‘that’s nice of me’ but you can’t go buy more lemonade to sell to people. The only way to is to dish out more money, and then more money, that you never make back…and then you go bankrupt. This is a basic concept in business-you make a profit (or break even). So I don’t blame Gamefreak for charging so goddamn little for something they had to develop.

    tldr; Gamefreak can’t afford to give you everything for free.

    I hope I helped some people understand the reality of the situation. I think Gamefreak is a fabulous company, they don’t exploit or abuse. If you don’t want the bank service, that’s perfectly acceptable, it’s not there to be forced down anyone’s throats. But I seriously, seriously don’t get the small percent of people who seem to think it should be free or it’s too expensive. It’s FIVE DOLLARS C’MON.

    • I don’t really agree with this. Game Freak had a huge amount of people buying Pokemon X and Y when they were released. They make plenty of money off of the video games they release, and they really shouldn’t need to charge us extra for a feature that was FREE in the previous games! If they had at least made Pokemon Transporter useable without Pokemon Bank, I wouldn’t care. The fact that they’re charging us an annual fee for something that was automatically built into the previous games is unreasonable to me.
      Not trying to be rude, but I wanted to get this out there.

    • Don’t you think thats a bit early? Pokemon isn’t COD it doesn’t release a game every year, and truthfully its better that it doesn’t wouldn’t you prefer a amazing Ruby and Saphire remake compared to an okay one. I think the earliest you can expect a new game is march 2015.

      Reply
      • B2W2 were announced two years ago in late January and XY were announced last year on January 8th. But I see your point. We haven’t gotten spin off games for Gen VI have we (besides that creepy Pikachu detetective game)?

        Reply
        • I just think they probably want to wait for x and y to be out a little longer before they announce, X and Y have only been out a little more than 2 months

          Reply
          • But its a bit different with the first game in a new generation, diamond and pearl were out for two years before platinum was released, I’ve read in interviews that Black and White was actually more of a filler generation, and thats why its so much shorter than past generations.

          • Then what does GF do to keep the fans occupied while they wait? Give them Spin off games? If that’s the case, then what Spin Off games do you see them making (that’ll help sell the Wii U). I say Gale of Darkness Sequel.

          • They don’t… They expect the first game of the generation to keep you occupied until the release of the next one, and any spin off games are a plus.
            But really I prefer quality over quantity and I’d rather them give us a really good game every 2 years than just spit out a game every year regardless of quality.

  51. Here is a repost of my theory from months ago:

    So I have been thinking. BW2 was released October 7, 2012. 94 days later it was announced that X and Y would be coming in the Fall. XY was released October 12, 2013 worldwide(kinda). There is an old couple that says there anniversary and gives the types. (Ruby and Sapphire). If you add the anniversaries, you get 85 (40+45). 85 days from October 12th is January 5, a date close to previous announcements. I’m guessing we will gets announcement of some kind around that time. Just some defensive thought.

    • and also, the pokeball in the middle of the floor in D/P was Gold/Silver, and we got HGSS afterwards. the Pokeball in the pokecenter in HGSS was Green, so we may receive emerald remake instead of r/s. Specially since its 10th anniversary.

      Also, Steven from the PokeWorld Tournament in B2W2 beating him he says “’emerald can be mined under Driftveil Gym” and theres large chunks of emerald if you go down to the gym.
