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.

  2. By the way, has anyone ever heard of the female singer Jordin Sparks (winner of a past American Idol, she sings “No Air”). I thought I’d mention that she tweeted a week or 2 ago that she finally beat Pokemon XY (how amazing is it that she has it first of all), and even went on ahead to tweet her in-game team.

    TEAM: Talonflame: lvl 55
    Lapras: lvl 61
    Steelix: lvl 76
    Delphox: lvl 70
    Venasaur: lvl 59, mega evolution
    Lucario: lvl 61, mega evolution

    Pretty cool to see singers like OneDirection, Lorde, The Wanted, as well as Jordin Sparks now, getting into Pokemon again.

  6. OMFG GUYS I HAVE A THEORY LOL

    Okay when I was playing X a few days ago, I was talking to an NPC in Lumiose that previously gave me TM Dragon Tail. Talking to him again will tell you that he learned the move Dragon Tail in Village of Dragons. Mind you, when the in-game text capitalizes the beginning of each word, that means its either an important held item or an important location.

    I confirmed this myself when I read another NPC that mentioned something about Luminous Moss… and I say to myself ” why is the L and M in Luminous Moss capitalized is that an item? Well turns out its an actual item you can find breaking rocks in Glittery Cave.

    Now many would say… Well Village of Dragons is capitalized because its making a reference to the anime…. well here’s what that proves that its not referencing the anime.

    In anime, the Village of Dragons is located in Unova, near Opelucid City. In the games, it is stated to be in a remote region far away from Unova. – Bulbapedia’s information on it.

    YOU GUYS… I THINK VILLAGE OF DRAGONS IS IN THE REGION NEIGHBORING KALOS. WHAT IF WE TAKE EEVEE TO THIS VILLAGE AND LEVEL IT UP THERE AND IT ADAPTS TO BECOME THE DRAGON EEVEELUTION WE BEEN LONGING FOR Jiehjoejhokierfiokejrfpejrfp

  7. i hope action replay comes out for the 3ds one day, so then we can walk through the map into areas that they stopped us from going to .. and maybe.. just maybe… to the next region <__>

    • well Kalos makes up 1.7 GB and 3DS games can store up to 4GB so XY can definitely store a whole ‘nother region in it.

      All I know is we are definitely visiting Village of Dragons, and the region east of Kalos which is most likely based off Germany.

  8. I’m disappointed by how expensive canvas prints are…there are so many cool designs. Yet I have to consider, it’s freaking canvas, it’s high quality stuff.
