Pokémon Bank Returns in Japanese eShop

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.

  1. This lack of solid info on a release and getting snubbed countlessly is going to make people lose interest in subscribing to the cloud service. They def lost my five bucks toying around with this. At this point … I’m over it. Give me the american Celebi event and I can move on from this whole fiasco.

    • today would’ve been the perfect day for it to be released and now I’m superbly pissed. They have their ish together with their stupid little patch update.. so whats the hold up this time? I’m honestly not even going to be excited when it finally releases….. hell, my dex is complete, I just entered my 3rd box of shinies, screw this crap.

    • I never planned on paying the subscription fee to begin with. I just want to transfer my BOX 1 and that’s it. I’m not much of a breeder anyway.

  2. If the bank ever comes out, Pokégen yourself the greatest, shiniest, legendary the world has ever seen, Shiny Lugia for example.

    Be prepared to trade it away for Diancie, Volcanion, or Hoopa once Japan gets it!

  3. Nintendo of America just tweeted about a virtual console game, literally the first comment just reads “POKEBANK?!” This is the stage of dread we are in at this time…

  4. So… Us Westerners(According to my Mac, its actually a word…) have nothing to except wait for Pokebank and Battle or trade other region pokes from Japan…

    If you want your fanbase alive KEEP YOUR PROMISES AND GIVE YOUR FANS WHAT THEY WANT! DONT PICK FAVORITES!

  6. Not sure why you guys are irritated about this. It was never confirmed to be released in the first place. No conspiracies need to be formed, they’re simply errors and I’m still supporting them. Once the cloud is up and running, it’s going to change Pokemon and it’s future generations for a long time. Just… Chill.

  7. So Japan got it what, two days ago? We got an update last night, expecting it to be preparing the store for Pokemon Bank… Since the delay, they’ve been saying a NA and EU release date will be coming soon. It still says that. What is their idea of “soon?” No apology video, which would’ve been suffice for me, no tweets, nothing. The trial has been extended, but does that mean that’s when it ends for us? If Nintendo keeps pulling a these stunts their never going to make it as a video game company. You would think that someone who has been around for nearly a hundred years would finally understand their customers.

  8. Pokebank rage errywer. Two days ago everyone was happy that it returned to the Japanese and Korean eshops. Now everyone is so upset. Believe me, I’m bummed that the pokebank still isn’t out, but maybe they are worried that the servers might crash again and are giving it a couple of days to see how it works out. All we need is a little bit of patience, guys.
    TL;DR HURRY UP, NINTENDO!
