** I couldn't find this posted, which surprised me. Lock if re-posted**

Sub-headline: Release of Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter postponed due to a large volume of traffic to the Nintendo Network service

Information:

"Nintendo and The Pokémon Company International have postponed the launch of Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter - two software applications that were originally scheduled to launch for Nintendo 3DS on Dec. 27 - due to a large volume of traffic to the Nintendo Network service. Due to the high traffic, players are having trouble setting up Nintendo Network IDs and downloading content in the Nintendo eShop on both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. We truly regret the inconvenience, and wish to reassure everyone that providing a solution is our top priority. We apologize for the delay and thank you for your continued patience."

I really do wonder how much consoles/handhelds have sold to produce this much traffic to still have issues with all these services. With that being said, thank god pokemon bank has a free trial for about a month or else there would be a lot of pissed paying customers. I hope this thing comes out in the west soon... I want to save my pokemon damn it!!!

So is this for everywhere? That really sucks for people who were looking forward to it. :/

This was announced I think a day ago, but no one posted.

I'm really disappointed in this. I hope it's not too long, hopefully we get by the end of January, or early February.
Disappointing to say the least.

I heard that they actually launched this in Japan and there was a lot of problems, so they removed it. As a result, EU and NA are delayed indefintely.

Ah ic, that explains how some people had previous gen pokemon.

Sucks but at least some Japanese used it so we are learning a bit here and there.

Entei getting Scared Fire via move relearner is one of the big things.

Genesect's Techno Blast is now 120 BP (was 85 BP).

Cresselia and Whimsicott both get Moonblast.

Meloetta, Mismagius, Azelf/Uxie/Mesprit, and Jellicent get Dazzling Gleam.

It's crazy how Entei actually became useful just like that, plus that extreme speed.

His movepool still is very limited probably.

Unless he gets something else, his movepool is going to be this again:

x/ExtremeSpeed/Stone Edge/Scared Fire

X last gen was either Toxic, Sleep Talk, or Hidden Power Grass.......

Dat shitty movepool....
