Dae asks: When will Bank launch?

by

Time for something different! While Pokémon Bank already came back to Japan, there’s still no word on an international release.

So, this time you can place your bets on when it will actually be released. Just comment on this page with a time and date and poke me when your dates turns out to be true later. The winner(s) will receive a commerative title for their proven rumour track record™.

Also, additional note: February 29th 2014 does not exist and if you suggest that I’ll timezap you to that date (read: ban 🙂 ).

I was writing a substantial article on Nintendo a few days ago, but exams pushed it back. It will come. Some day. I hope…

  1. I was thinking about shinies today, and realized how thankful I am that non-Kalosian Pokemon don’t have the blue pentagon identification. Makes them more special once they are transferred over.

  6. Argh, breeding for a female Sneasel with the IVs I want is infuriating!! This game hates me. If there’s a gender I specifically want, it gives the opposite, if the IVs are perfect for what I want, it gives it to me with the wrong nature if it’s the right gender.

    This game makes me rage so much with breeding certain Pokemon. *cougheeveecoughsneaselcoughcoughlarvestacoughandmanymorecough*

  16. I’m new to EVs, so could someone help me? I thought stats are supposed to rise after every 4 EVs gained. But when I battled 30 Frillish with my Krookodile holding a Macho Brace, it’s Sp.Def. stat only went up by 5. Krookodile’s level 44. Each Frillish was supposed to give me 2 EVs and I got 60 in all, so the stat should have risen by 12. I then tried this out with my Scraggy level 45 in HP. I battled a bunch of Stunfisk, while Scraggy was holding the Macho Brace. I got 4 EVs per Stunfisk, but my HP stat was rising by one only when I battled 3 Stunfisk. This is in Pokémon White. So what’s going on?

      • It was holding a Macho Brace. And I double checked. They didn’t raise up any levels while I was training them, so I could tell that easily. I noted the stats before I started training and after. My Krookodile’s defense stat was 79 before with 100 EVs, maxed with Vitamins, and 84 after with 160 EVs.

        • Ah let me think.
          I see.
          You’re really supposed to EV train a pokemon at lv1 for perfect results.
          If you’re training a leveled pokemon you would have to level it up further to see results.
          Try to finish EV training, then level the pokemon up.
          You can always try again.

          • Thanks for the answer!
            I’m only going to train these ones to level 50, so technically I won’t get the full effect of EV training, then, huh?

  17. Even in Pokemon X for me, when I use a large Super Training bag, my stat increases by only 1, not 3 like usual. What am I doind wrong?

    • Nothing.
      The way i think it works is that for every 4 EVs that Pokemon will have 1 more point in that stat at lvl 100.
      i.e if a Pokemon has gained 252 EVs in a specific stat, it will have 252/4 = 63 more points in that stat when at lvl 100 than a Pokemon that doesn’t.

      The changes will be not fully be visible unless the Pokemon is at lvl 100, but don’t worry the pokemon is still gaining the EVs and the stats are increasing.

      • Thanks!
        I knew most of the things about EVs. So the effect will only truly become visible at Level 100? Until then it will only rise 1 per every 12 EVs?
        Oh, and is it the same thing for the comment I posted below?

  22. People all over social network are confused as to why they didn’t get the 6iv pokemon they were promised.

    Why are people so stupid.
