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!

alright then. i’ll check that out in a minute then. going through the comments section on an article of Bill Nye debate and laughing my ass off at dumbasses haha. it’s awesome.
that was so stupid lol
yeah, i don’t see how people can argue with what they can observe.
yet very funny
I thought he meant N and stopping Pokemon battles.
Any predictions for Bank release?
maybe a week or so. though personally hoping for sooner than that
I’m reloading the NOA Twitter every hour.
and i don’t blame you. though if they say anything about it being released, it may be a few hours after it’s out. but hopefully it’s out soon. I understand wanting to make sure the servers can handle that many people and all but even i know when something like this is released, the majority flock to get it. after that there should be just enough left over that the rest can get it along with the first set of the next people to get it. but about one to two weeks to make sure it goes smoothly is fair if you ask me. though the wait is still annoying..
Probably not.
Can someone explain this to me?

oh this is he thing heavy and i were discuss. Its when you reject the first egg and save . this makes the next egg solid state its. SO lets say this second egg turns out to be 6iv, then you can turn off the game and switch the aprent to the pokemon you want , the next egg will be a 6iv of the parent you want. Quite complicated but can get you a shiny of your choice or good its
Lemme give you a step by step instead, it’s easier to understand. (As long as you know what IV’s and EV’s are you’re good to go.)
1. I use 2 magikarps (or gyarados) because they hatch quick. Equip one with destiny knot and one with everstone.
2. I get their IV’s. For the example we will use the following:
Male: 31/31/31/0/0/0 (HP/Attack/Defense/S.Atk/S.Def/Speed)
Female: 0/0/0/31/31/31
Note: IF the parents don’t have EV’s, you can use the Battle Institute to instantly level them up to 50 and check their IV’s via an IV calculator.
3. Put the parents into the daycare.
4. Bike around.
5. Release the first egg. (IMPORTANT! This “primes” the RNG and makes sure that the next one is fixed.)
6. Save the game.
7. Bike around, pick up one egg, hatch it.
8. Check its IV’s.
9. Suppose the egg hatched 31/x/31/0/0/31.
From this we can get that:
The egg picked up the HP/Defense/S.Atk/S.Def from the Male, the Speed from the Female, and the Attack is randomized. (Breeding with Destiny Bond only grabs 5 IV’s from either parent.)
10. Reset the game.
11. If you are happy with the IV distribution remove the test parents and continue. Otherwise, reject the egg then go back to step 7.
12. Since we now know which IV’s will be passed, we need to find a 31/x/31/31/31/x male from the box and an x/x/x/x/x/31 female from the box. (IMPORTANT! New parents can be any species but must be the same gender ratio as orginal parents. Magikarps are 50% male 50% female.)
13. Suppose coincidentally I have a male sableye with perfect IV’s in hp,defense,special attack and special defense , as well as a ditto with perfect IV’s in hp and speed, so I put them in.
14. Hatch that egg, and Sableye will have 31/x/31/31/31/31.
Wall of text, but I hope that helped.
yeah this about sums it up. only things i’d personally change are a few wordings for clarification, but again it’s all there and those changes would only be personal habit so yeah…it’s all there.
Man, that’s tedious.
It seems like a wall of text right now when I type if (I suck at making stuff simple) but in practice, it’s quite easy and simple.
I mean the method.
Yeah you might prefer “classic” IV breeding to this.
Obviously, this “RNG abuse” requires that you have many 2-4IV Pokemon (especially dittos )on standby. Once you have your first 5IV in an egg group, breeding other 5IV’s in the same egg group become much faster with normal breeding than the RNG method since you can just “steal” the iv’s from that parent.
but rewarding. though i personally prefer regular IV breeding. it’s just a matter of preference as far as i can tell.
I did try that stuff before, so I know how it worked, but in the end regular IV breeding seems faster and more convenient to me in the end.
exactly. but, of course, it’s all up to the person doing it.
I don’t IV breed anyway…
How do you find the EVs?
If they are freshly hatched/caught and you didn’t ever make them fight a pokemon they have 0 EV’s. You can also use a reset bag to reset a pokemon’s EV’s to zero.
*goes to sleep* *wakes up* *still no pokebank* *dies*
Anyone here?
eh, i’m drifting in and out. reading a few articles at the moment.
Yesh.
you feeling better goomy?
A little. I took some medicine.
It happens.
Im stuck on writing a limerick poem 🙁
There once was a slug named Goomy
That day he was feeling quite gloomy
I can’t think of anything else
lalalalalalalalalalallalala
Nitendo with bank is just like the white 3ds , it got it in europe and japan only DX
White 3DS? It doesn’t exist just like Pokemon Bank and the South Pole!
i want a white 3DS so badly…
im might just have to be getting a japanese one and just gonna do a mother board switch
why have i not thought of that?…motherboard and SD card switch so i keep everything and trade in my purple one to Gamestop…not i just need the money and knowledge on how to do this.
just skim and its quite complicated
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Nintendo+3DS+Motherboard+Replacement/6017
looks more tedious than complicated. and honestly, you can just go down to the step of removing the motherboard with the mic and volume switch and touch screen still intact and just switch them from there following the steps in reverse. i have a friend that might be able to do this if i send him this page.
Let’s make up pokemon valentines!
Lol these valetines are hilarious
Where are you reading them?
i just searched pokemon valentines
i posted a pic refresh for it
And japan gets these but we dont 🙁
what else is new? honestly, as far as pokemon, as long as they arent the only ones to get those three legendaries and the other megas (which is highly unlikely to begin with but you get my point), then i can forgive almost anything else. almost
ugn says bank is coming in march is this true?
It looks similar enough to red and blue to kinda ignore, I hope.
But those buttons!
REFRESH FOR PIC
this almost got me, till i realized IT WAS EUROPE DX
*yawns while stretching* good morning everyone
mornin
morning
idk if someone said this already, but palkia confirmed to come out of a poke ball in new smash bros
i think someone has. awesome news either way. though i’m honestly not really one for smash bros. honestly. i’ll still play it though.
You’re a tad late lol
yeah i just woke up and did my morning rounds around the internet and there it was 😛
I like snow days. Much joy.
so true
….. people in my country have pokemon bank apparently…. but I don’t….
i am so sorry…i know that feeling. not with the bank specifically but other such things..
I think they be playin… but like… they should know not to joke around with this stuff, its serious stuffs
exactly..well, from a gaming point, yes. though the things i was referring…if i had to choose between one of those things and bank…i’d choose one of the other things. i can find other means of getting the bank.
:O
I’m thinking they are just crazy people…
Maybe they have Japanese DS’s
regardless, they need to shush until everyone else gets it
They selected the right country for their 3ds’s?
DID HA TEPIG COME OUT YET !XD
Multi?
I need two peeps! 😀
No school again
SAME!
Crud I just realized I spent my money this month on bandcamp. Looks like no bank for me this month -_-
If it releases this month.
