Please Stand By. You Broke The eShop (And Bank)

Remember Pokémon Bank, the 3DS app that lets you transfer your old Pokémon to Pokémon X&Y? Well, it’s now released on the eShop! Wait, what’s that you say? The eShop is down? Pokémon Bank isn’t on the eShop? Ohh, I see now! Apparantly too many people bought a 3DS and Wii U as Christmas presents and the network went down from everyone wanting to download their system updates and digital games. Nintendo didn’t think the Wii U would actually sell, so I guess they took no preparations.

Luckily we’re all going to be paying $5 a year so we have reliable Bank servers, so Pokémon Bank should go live the moment the eShop goes back up, right? Nope. As the eShop servers went down, they took the online storage servers of Bank with them. Even if you had downloaded the game, it still wouldn’t work. So much for seperate, reliable servers. Just hope the $5 goes to development of RSE remakes instead of a new sportscar for each Gamefreak executive. Pokémon Bank has now got the tentative release date of To be determined which is not of much help. Still, I’d expect it in the next week or two, once the Christmas/New Year’s rush cools down.

Hope you all had a nice, exhausting Christmas, like I had! I also hope you don’t have to study like I do! I’m going to tackle Organic Chemistry for a while, see you soon. I also didn’t forget about PJM, an update will go live in the coming days.

  2. Alright. I know its along shot, but this is the only place I could think of for help. I’m trying to upload a project from sony vegas pro 12 to youtube. I hit the upload button, and triple check that I entered it all right. I says the server couldn’t recognize my
    account. So then, I try to render it as a .mp4 file. I get 5% into it, and my whole computer shuts down every time. I need help.

  3. Weird, Drasna’s (just an fyi i think that is a terrible name) grandparents studied Palkia and Diagla and they are from Sinnoh. Cynthia’s grandparents did that too maybe Drasna is Cynthia’s sister that is like 25 years older.

  5. Also not sure if anyone noticed, but an NPC in Anistar city says that another region has the Moondial which was made the same time the Sundial was built. I hope we get to see it.

You find a solrock mega stone in the sundial in 8:00 am, and you find the lunatone mega stone at the moondial at 8:00 pm. the end.

      • I’m gonna come back to this comment in about 6-9 months when the game comes out and tell everyone that you called it first. Love it love it love it I can so imagine this happening. I definitely know we’re gonna be able to go to East of Kalos region because many NPC’s mention Kalos of having a neighboring region that it war’d with, kalos is the beauty region, the other region is the ugly region. Kalos has Luvdisc, the region next to it has Magikarp and the backwards waterfall and the moondial. Also the train in Couriway extends further east so I’m definite it’ll be a whole new region, but still feel like we’re gonna also be revisting Hoenn at some point

        also the town description of couriway reads ” a town connecting differences”

          • OMFG YOUR SO RIGHT THE GRAVITATION PULL JDihfeih iej

            and in Couriway three NPC’s mention Magikarp.

            -One says, You don’t see a lot of Magikarp here in the Kalos region huh?

            -The other talks about a Waterfall flowing backwards somewhere in this world (she isn’t talking distortion world because thats a different world, she says THIS world)

            -A lady says she once heard stories of Magikarp climbing waterfalls..

            YESS THE MAGIKARP CAN CLIMB THE WATERFALLS BECAUSE THEY FLOW BACKWARDS

          • yep notice on that same map they didn’t include Kiloude City. Only showed a teeny piece of Terminus Cave (zygarde is placed at the tipping point of the region bordering the next region just like Mewtwo in gen 1)

            And everything else to the right of Kalos is blocking off by clouds. I predict an updated/enhanced map next game.

            The next game will def be New Region & Kalos both in one game just like HeartGold/SoulSilver

          • Yep. They may not even be releasing a next game. A whole new region and 50 new Pokemon may come in the form of

            “Download Update Version 2.0 for XY to receive a new region and 50 new never before seen monsters, 8 new badges, enhanced story” or something. And then leave the complete new games for RS remakes. But we never know. They are definitely planning something even more huge than XY in 2014.. And that instagram picture proves it.

          • It had the red 3ds xl with yveltal on it, on top of a folder. And the caption read “i can’t wait to show you guys whats in this folder for 2014” or something like that… and literally every comment from insta-followers were “RSE REMAKES!!!” “HOENN CONFIRMED” LMFAO
