Pokémon Bank, the storage solution for Pokémon X & Y that many of us are waiting eagerly for, has returned to the Japanese and Korean 3DS eShops. Unfortunately, still no release plans have been announced for the United States or Europe. An update has also been released for Bank, as well as its companion app PokéTransporter.
Now English speaking fans can look on in envy.

Featured Thread: Looking for Legendaries by hunter
Hey, guys. Went to the Eshop and found that they put up a PokeBank TBA thing. Once again: Progress.
PHIONE OVER WONDER TRADE! sorry, i know phione isn’t…the best. but over wonder trade? that’s pretty damn amazing. for me at least..
I got a shiny Bunnelby on WT.
they look like bugs bunny honestly. still awesome.
When I first saw it, I was sure it was fake.
I got a Snivy via WT. Best WT ever!
2 hour delay!
For what?
School.
Cool!
Just realised you changed your name!
Yup!
awesome
Why is Japan obsessed with Gengar and Scizor?
I used to think Sableye would get a mega because of all the hype it got in Japan.
NOPE!
@luxbeythemechromancer:disqus, do you know who I really am?
Yes, goomy.
SO far, Ingeous is the only one who hasn’t recognized me.
i saw
You were there last night?
yes i was. but i knew it was you before all that.
Most people did.
I just finished a Goomy Gijinka!
I like it!
Thanks! Are you back from another 5 minutes of figuring out how to float a paper clip?
Lol, no. That was just a class yesterday. I’m off in Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Oh, cool.
I just noticed … you have similar arms to wobbuffet
Floppy arms.
and like Mienshao might I add lol
I like your gijinka!
3 hours and 10 mins until Bank releases in NA!!!
wait what? please clarify…
It’s not exactly confirmed but all signs point to it and I’m gonna have my 3DS ready just in case traffic kills it again.
-its 9 AM right now, Eshop updates here at 12PM in 3 hours..
-An update was made for 3DS last night!
-Eshop took 10 mins for me to get into just now
-Original Bank release date for Japan, Dec 25th, Ours Dec 27th – two days after. JP just got Bank two days ago, it is now another two days later.
I really feel its coming today and i’m gonna be prepared.
Alright then. I know some other people were talking about the two day thing so…yeah, doesn’t hurt to be prepared. Now if only I’d stay awake for that long haha
what time is it where you live?
8 now.
I hope you’re right about everything except the traffic killing it again.
AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I’ll be at school!
At least you’ll have something to look forward to and something to think about to keep you happy through the day.
Every day since Christmas, my friend has said “Pokebank’s not out yet. I woke up at 3 to check” He’ll be so happy!
Well, got to give you that one. Haha. Have fun.
And in Europe???
AWWWWWWWWWWW YEAH
I think this needs an upvote.
I think this needs a link for verification. Not to be “that guy,” I’m as happy as the rest of you for this, I’d just like to see it as well as believe it.
Yeah. The evidence does point to it, though.
it’s not confirmed as I said, I’m going with my hunch here. I bet a really good shiny that it gets released 🙂
My computer messed up, didn’t see it until now.
You must be really sure!
Really now? I may just take that then haha
Wouldn’t it be announced if this was the case?
wasn’t announced for japan
like luxbey said 😛
didn’t want a quite release as well?
don’t mind a quiet release, slows traffic unless it’s us, haha
it takes really long to get inside of eshop since the update… is that just me or anyone else?
about to check now that you say that…might be a sign?
ITS BECAUSE EVERYONE IS REFRESHING LIKE CRAZY
Thought process on the eshop, “BANK,BANK,BANK,BANK,BANK,BANK,BANK.”
Thought process on PJN
BANK, BANK, BANK, BANK, BANK, BANK, BANK, BANK!
geez… can we be assured its not going to crash again? lol.
it didn’t crash for japan, if that helps.
good point. I really hope all goes well. I’m so excited lol… Feeling like the time the 6th gen leaks started
Yeah, I know that feeling. And if it does release today…I can finally get my Metagross to Kalos. Among others of course but this one is special to me.
It is working really fast for me less then 5 mins
Ok it is taking a little long for me
It’s possible they didn’t announce it because they didn’t want a flood of people overloading the eShop again.
said that a bit ago, don’t mind it at all
Really? I don’t see it?
it happens. it was in a different conversation so it might just be lost in there.
Yeah. It happens.
Exactly. They released it in japan without saying a word which is what they’ll do here because it means less traffic.
I really hope they intend to release it at 12PM when everyone is in school lol.
I hope that they do release it in 3 hours, I have so many that I want in my X that it is getting hard waiting.
I have 2 mew I want to transfer so bad!
I’m ready to bring in Fluffy. We had some fun times in white 2 so hopefully it’ll work in Y.
if we get a quiet release I’m really hoping we get it in 3 hours and not at 12am midnight, I stood up for X that long – not staying up for bank that long lol. Cause upon researching eshop updates I found eshop does indeed update at 12pm for me – but has also released major titles at 12am midnight.
Who’s Fluffy?
Don’t ask. -_-
That bad, huh?
So with the talk of PokeBanks re-release, what do you want to transfer the most?
speed boost carvanha, iron fist timburr – & a bunch of HGSS exclusive pokeball’d pokes for breeding
1. my 2 mew (lvl27 and lvl 100)
2. several shiny pokemon
3. all my old starting teams (for breeding new ones)
My steelix, Starmie, a couple shinies, my sp attacking cofagrigus. Just some stuff to play around with.
My meaningful shinies from past generations, as well as my lv. 100 starters and legendaries!
My starters (the ones I actually started with) in each game, my shinies, the Pokémon I’ve used in tournaments, a few other legendaries, my runthrough teams from each game and my Nuzlocke Pokémon from Platinum and some event legendaries.
A few shinies, the Shiny Creation Trio, my bred Zorua, and my Contrary Female Friend Ball Snivy.
Good morning everyone!
Good morning!
Morning
G’mornin
Here’s your Rhyperior! I think it turned out okay.
Not bad, I like it!
Maybe I can use this to make my own Gijinka of my own image!
Well, I’m going back to bed guys. I’ll see you when the Bank is released later (hopefully)
What’s this about Bank releasing in 3 hours? Is this a real possibility?
Nah.
Yeah i’m off to play Fallout NV
I want a good new wi-fi event Pokémon!
BANK IN 3 HOURS? OMFGJKVFCKHG
I doubt it.
Is Bank cunfurmed?
The press release doesn’t mention it. I doubt it.
Don’t worry about it, we’ll just wait another week -_-
or eight…
Okay….
I just had a nice little chat with Serebii about it. I asked him is there potential eshop can update with Bank in an hour and 40 mins and he said “not likely, Europe has had its eshop update already today and it wasn’t with it” 🙁 so then I asked him if europe and US was supposed to get Bank at the same time and he said “yes, when he have details on its release, we’ll post it on the site”..
I still have a slight bit of hope for us. I mean – I don’t care what a press release mentions – they didn’t mention Japan getting it and boom.. re-added back to their eshop silently. Keeping my fingers crossed for today. I don’t see what would be holding them back at this point. Just release the damned thing and get it over with.
On Twitter? Yeah… But donut lose hope, We WILL get Bank… Or we might have to buy a Jap 3ds…
sigh…
I miss my gen 5 shinies…
I feel like we will never get bank over here in North America… :C
Bank is like Hoenn remakes. It’ll be cunfurmed one day.
We will eventually. It may be after the free trial but we will.
Thats unfair if they axe the free trial…
It wouldn’t surprise me.
We best still be getting that celebi is all I’m sayin
Me too. I have never gotten a legit Celebi.
I haven’t even gotten a hacked one 😛 lol
Action replay FTW
*Wurmple used Eruption*
celebi shouldn’t be the only one after this crap
I’m beginning to think its cancelled for NA… we’ll get snubbed like Azure Flute, Old Sea Map, HH Inkay, Celebrate Eeveelutions… list goes on.
Japan gets all the good stuff doesn’t it :c and we have so far only gotten like one event and the chance for a coupon if I am not mistaken, meanwhile….. in Japan
Me when Banq Cunfurmd
looks like bank truly is never coming here :((((((((((
Miyamoto: We really don’t like North America that much, Poke Bank cancelled for you….
Is what I feel like is happening right now 🙁
IWATA HATE AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY
PJ should add to the current poll “No bank isnt coming outside asia…”
