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. Anyone know the nickname regulations of the Bank? I have a female, bred, EV Trained, Move Tutored Zorua that I plan on using in my team in the next games, but I’m afraid that she might not be transported because I nicknamed her. It’s nothing bad or anything. I’m just worried.

    • Nicknames don’t matter. If you have an all capped un-nick’d gen 4 or under pokemon, there names will be changed to the style of x/y example:
      Gen 4: LUGIA
      Gen 6 after transferring: Lugia

      • Ok then, thank you. I’m so glad they implemented the Non Nickname-Non CAP rule for Gen VI. Having all Capped Pokemon from Transferring Gen IV to Gen V always bothered me.

  3. So I went through every legendary from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, & Kalos.

    Working on Sinnoh & Unova right now. I only need to see the Genies and Palkia/Dialga/Giratina and i’ll be done with legendaries and can proceed on working on others…
