Video: This New Pokémon Bank Trailer Shows The Upcoming App in Action

I thought it supported all DS games? Ah well, whatever...the cool thing is that I can start my game over without losing any of my EV trained Pokes. :3

Yay! I can't wait! I've got so many Pokémon I want to transfer~

So I take my emerald Mon to diamond, then those Mon to black then black 2 then Pokemon x... So glad Pokemon X will help with future processes

@Mizore you can transfer from older games if you transfer to B/W or B2/W2 first... technically, if you wanna do all the transfers required, you can get Pokémon all the way from the GBA games!

@Xtremetdifan: you can transfer directly from Black to X or Y. Black 2 isn't needed.

I still want to know if my pokedex will be updated from the Pokemon Bank or if I have to transfer them to the game first.

For $5 a year, I'm sold

Cool. Now the GTS can be bombarded with modded pokémon.

Where the heck is that music from? The second one I know is from the game, but I'm not sure where. When riding the bike maybe? But the first song I recognize and have no idea where it's from.

@One-Winged-Pit that's a very good question! I've just assumed you have to them download to the game, but I'd happily be wrong.

Strangely, this is one of my most anticipated "games" of the holiday season. I can't wait to get back into online trading!

Now I can get all of those rare pokemon by trading away all of my Feebas's in the GTS!

For a moment there I though the trailer was going all Walking on Sunshine.

Stil nobody has been able to tell me whether pokemon bank would be a real account system or whether your pokemon would be tied to your hardwar elike everytihng else Nintendo

@MF_MaxiMillion They're supposedely applying their VGC filter to the BW/BW2 to XY transfer. From the official site (http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/strategy/):

"Note: You may find yourself unable to use Pokémon Bank or Poké Transporter to deposit any Pokémon created illegally by software unauthorized by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo into your online Boxes, or to move these Pokémon between online Boxes."

So, you may start finding RNG'd and "legally cheated" Pokemon, but there shouldn't anything outright impossible.

@Chariblaze RNG'd? What is that?

@jpfan1989 http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generation_in_Pok%C3%A9mon#RNG_Abuse

Manipulation of the game's randomness machine thing to get what you want--flawless 31/31/31/31/31/31 IVs, shinyness, good natures, etc.

Pokemon X and Y OFFICIALLY start on December 27th.

@MF_MaxiMillion
actually Nintendo just released a 1.2 patch to quell that and prevent it. Download it to fix several bugs and increase the game's security.

What I've been wondering is if you can access your pokebank storage ingame with X and Y?

Seems like to tansport pokes, you will need to pay pokebank...

Which sucks really :<

I think I'll be using this, but I plan on waiting until sometime in January just to make sure there aren't any nasty glitches with it when it first becomes available.

I collected all the starters and all the legendaries. Dis gun b gud.

im gonna transfer all my legendary pokes to my x and y i got them all

I wonder how the Lotto ticket will work? And how to use the Pokemon Bank? You log in the Pokemon X or Y or it is an separate app?

My GBA has been waiting for this moment. Over 250 hours put into Emerald as a kid, now my Lvl 100 Blaziken will be able to replace my Lvl 100 Blaziken with Speed Boost... and my Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza!

This is bitter sweet for me. It'll be nice having access to all these Pokemon, but now there'll be hacks all over the place. Yes, breeding is a lot more doable, so for the most part hackers won't have much of an advantage in battle, but trading is ruined. I thought it was nice knowing that a shiny I received in a trade was genuine for once.

@Pixel-Perfect Which is why Pokemon Transfer is transferring Pokemon directly from Black, White, Black 2, or White 2 to Pokemon Bank. Apparently Pokemon Bank will check if the Pokemon are legit or not.

... This shoulda been ready since day one.

Whose the chick? xD

@Super_Gravy Even then, people can still bypass it. It won't be that difficult for people that know what they're doing and could potentially still get it to go through depending on how they do it. Hackers will never sadly "disappear" despite all efforts... :/

@Blastoise-san They likely delayed Pokemon Bank on purpose so that they knew beforehand how many copies X/Y have sold in order to prepare their servers better. Gives them a better estimate of how much server load they'll have.

Finally, only seeing friend safari pokemon and 1st and 5th gen starters being wonder traded getting was kind of boring. Can't wait to see more diversity in wonder trading.

@Blastoise-san Agreed

@Pinecallado: I getting Bidoof, Dunsparce, Zigzagoon, and Pidgey lately. I don't mind getting Scatterbug but I never got any from wonder trade. So I guess I'm an unlucky one?

@Super_Gravy I got a Mewtwo once while wonder trading, so I'd say you are an unlucky one... so far.

Gotta love Tierno's theme!

@Super_Gravy Wonder trade Wednesdays. Save all your 'mon for that

@Blastoise-San: I agree.

I think I'll do the free trial then once it's over delete Pokebank until I feel like paying 5 bucks every month.

@Ace_The_Elf:
Actually, it's 5 bucks for the year.

@something17 lmfao so true. Your avatar fits that comment purrfectly too.

@ferthepoet Tied to your 3DS, pritty sure this was announced along time ago, so go stock up 3DS's and pokemon bank subscriptions!

@Ace_The_Elf It's $5 for 1 year not 1 month.

@Super_Gravy Gamefreak's never been able to check for "legal hacks", to my knowledge.

X and Y... pokemon!!!

@FiveDigitLP It's the X/Y bicycle theme.
