Yes, I got some news from Nintendo about the so called Pokemon Bank that will come at the end of December.
I have some news that some people will enjoy, but also news that will make some feel depressed.
Anyways, let's tell what I have learned :
-1- The Price of the Service.
I have checked their website about this. You will need to pay each year to use the service.
The prices are listed here : (PS: I wasn't able to find for the UK)
US -> 4.99$
EU -> 4.99€
-2- Import from old versions.
It disappointed me, but we can only import from Black and White 1/2. Yes, you can't import directly from Diamond, Pearl, HeartGold or SoulSilver. You'll have to pay B/W to send them into their services.
/!\ Note for people who would get bad ideas: Once they are transferred to the X/Y service, you can't SEND them back into the original cartridge. And hacked Pokemons will be forbidden. You'll also need to remove all the items that your Pokemons carries. The servers doesn't allow Item Transfer. /!\
-3- Will Nintendo Give us A Trial ?
Yes. Nintendo will give players a free 30-days trial of the PokeBank. In order to activate this trial, however, you'll need to follow these steps (Taken from the official website):
1-> Download the PokeBank App from the eShop
2-> Launch the application on your 3DS.
3-> Follow the instructions that will come on your screen.
If you want to get this trial, you'll need to do this between the 27th December 2013 and the 31th January 2014.
-4- Date of Launch and Others Questions
The service will be launched from the 27th of December this year.
What will happen if the servers get a crash/have trouble ?
Nintendo -> We'll say more when the software will come out. However, they were talking that players would get a compensation.
Can I use Poke Transfer without PokeBank ?
Nintendo -> No, it's impossible.
What will happen to my Pokemons if my licence ends ?
Nintendo -> We'll provide you more info when the software will come out.
-5- How Much Pokemons can I store ?
-> You can store up to 3000 Pokemons (They give you 100 boxes.)
----------End of the News-------
I made this thread with the hope that it'll be helpful. With all this info, are you going to use this service ?
