Pokémon Bank has finally gone live in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. As of downloading, the version is at 1.1 and will allow players to use the free trial until March 14th, 2014. The Celebi event for Bank is active as well and will run until September 30th, 2014. There is yet to be any confirmation on Pokémon Bank’s release in America. For all you Europeans, Aussies and Kiwis out there, now is your chance to move your Pokémon from Black and White (2) into X and Y. Will you keep all your ‘mons stored in the cloud? Or transfer them all into your X/Y boxes? What faithful team members can’t you wait to battle with?
Answer these questions in the comments section below.
Silver, out!
UPD: Pokémon Bank is now live in North America. Get transferring those Pokémon! Don’t forget you can access a 30 free trial if you activate it before March 14th!
Prior to X&Y I’ve never caught or hatch a shiny, in the past 3 days I caught an unwanted Green Zubat and hatched a Neon Blue Nidoran Male, Neither of which is expected or intended. But hey! 🙂
Well, lucky you! I always get shinies when I least expect it.
Well I also least expect them too. When I’ll be doing MM it’ll probably take an eternity. 😀
Wow Nintendo seem to hate the USA bwehehehehe. What sort of backlash were they angry at? Americans hated Wind Waker when they considered it their masterpiece? 😀
Is it because Canada got X and Y 10 days early?
That’s not what happened. Select italian and canadian stores sold a few games ahead of time even though they learned later that they weren’t supposed to. I know, i’m canadian and i scoured my area thoroughly. Every store gets inventory much earlier, they just aren’t allowed to sell it until release.
Well, yeah, that’s what I meant to say. Some Canadian stores released X and Y early, along with some Italian stores.
to come back on an old post op pokejungle. we had to guess what the release date would be..
i sad 5/6 Feb!!!! SO CLOSE !!!!!!
I’d predicted a release in early February.
Good guess 😉
It’s the 5th of feb in new zealand 🙂
Drat,so Americans have to wait a little while longer then, huh? Well i can wait at least, as it probably will come out either sometime during the rest of the week or next week. Hopefully tomorrow because we’re supposed to get a snow day and that would be perfect.
Nintendo of America, why do you hate me?
Regi’s too busy playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Is Silver a new staff member?
I’ve been around for a couple of years, just not a prominent staff member due to Work and University commitments.
Oh. Well, hai then!
He’s been translating us for awhile now :p Also does the Pokémon Japanese articles, the last of which was quite awhile ago…
Oh, well I joined in July, but I had been (Go)lurking around since last Feb, when I discovered the site.
So, Bank cunfurmed, I guess?
That’s a surprise.
I finished Ookarus’s Whiscash Gijinka!
Yay for Europe! Can’t wait to bank all of the legendary pokemon and complete my dex!
WHAT THE FACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nintendo Of America: “Y’know, there are hundreds of thousands of Pokemon fans in America… Let’s make them the last to get Bank!”
is it because europe is closer to japan….
Although this isn’t for the U.S., this is still great news!! I expect bank to release here within a week!! 😀
or a month
Or not
A week would be great..I could see all the fans it was just released to practically rushing to get it, almost all of them getting it soon, they give it about a week to calm down, and do the US release after that.
Or a year
or a whole 2 months away again :/
Pessimism gets us nowhere. The fact that Bank has been released in other continents means that the U.S. release is very close. I’m sure they’re going to take the next few days to ensure the servers won’t melt down in the U.S. when everybody is trying at access Bank.
not trying to be pessimistic just keeping it real 🙂
they released & re-released it in japan to ensure servers won’t melt and that took pretty much two-full months. I’m expecting it to take another month or so to come here… being out in several new countries again.. but that’s just me.
Assuming it’s a quiet release such as Europe and Australia, I think a week is very reasonable. We’ll see when it does come out! xD
Just an example, and I know this isn’t Pokemon but Australia and Europe got Bravely Default in November while America gets it this February.
The reason they delayed the US release is probably because of how many people are going to use it. Let the other countries use it before you guys end up crashing it again, okay?
jk
We probably aren’t going to get Pokebank for a looooong time.
mabye they wouldnt want to relesed it all at once so that the servers will stay steady
That’s the only reason i was ok with a week or two delay at first. Then it turned into a month and was just ridiculous now…but as long as it comes out soon for the US, everything will be fine. But at least it’s finally released elsewhere.
So why is everyone on right now? This place is usually dead around this time.
Because we’re one step closer to Bank’s release!
Well, that’s the best answer I can think of too…that and i can’t sleep
Give it to America. FOR AMURIKAH!
‘MURICA!
@FroslassForever:disqus PJ Shared your Gijinka on twitter. Congrats! But he got your gender wrong .-.
That makes it two things that Australians have that Americans wish they had. First kangaroos and now Poké Bank.
I applaud you. I love those little t-rex deer things.
Next thing you know they’ll get Hoenn remakes before us.
LOL Rocket this has to be one of the best comments ever XD
Australians should be thrilled they have a 2 for one deal 😉
didn’t Australia give us one Goddammit Ross?
WHAT??? Australia here I come!!!
It’s times like this I wish I still lived in Italy.
This is such good news to wake up to after the rough day I had yesterday! One step closer for Bank in America and my shiny charm! >:) I hope it gets release by this weekend
really good news to wake up too indeed!
I have a really good friend that lives in italy I’m going to see if he can get some stuff for me!! e4rh3eoifjreoijdfoei
also… things to note here:
-its going to be easy to MM 5iv shinies now since you can just pokegen flawless iv pokes and transfer them lol…
-pentagon shinies are going to be worth more now since everyone will think their hacked without them… so gather as many as you can now!
-feel cool if you completed your dex without Bank
that’s awesome. possibly try that mew for me if you can? just a thought. at least we’re one step closer to Bank coming to the US…about damn time.
I didn’t forget… Mew & You were the first ones I thought about when I read on my phone about this bank outbreak lol.
Aww, we love you too haha. And I really want that mew because I had a real shiny one (my friend got a japanese emerald with whatever was needed for mew and gave it to me and i got a shiny one there) and some (i won’t say the word here, i’m learning haha) stole the game when i went to get something to eat at school. only logical place i can think that happened anyway.
damn I’m really sorry to hear that :/ atleast Arceus has blessed ya with a chance to obtain another real shiny one through me haha!! Can’t wait for bank I’m excited lol…
I was honestly over Bank… but seeing everyone else with it is exciting me again
Yeah. And I’m not thinking of this mew as a replacement, but rather, being reunited. So I can’t thank you enough for this. And I was never really “over” bank, but i was honestly pissed about the long delay. I could understand it if they were actually working on it.
I wanna clean up my friends list since I know when Bank releases I’ll probably be adding fc’s galore… Think I’ll go through my safari and see which of my 100 friends has the pokes I want to keep in safari lol.
speaking of which, do i have yours?
I don’t think… but add me just incase.. 0146 9153 9835 ign percy – your fc?
alright. just need a sec to find it.
3067 4715 5038

yay haha i love the snow
*gets nervous because my safari is garbage*
nah I’m just deleting ppl I don’t know, or there safari completely sucks lol. If you’re a friend I won’t delete ya haha.
Mine too.
… but my safari is terrible…
yeah but I won’t delete any junglers haha…
