Pokémon Bank Rolling Out to Europe and Australia (Update: and North America)
Update: Pokémon Bank is out in North America now!
After weeks of waiting, Pokémon Bank is finally seeing distribution outside Japan. Players in Europe and Australia are able to download Pokémon Bank now from the eShop. Those in North America will need to wait though we don’t expect it to be much longer. The free trial period has been update and will be 30 days as long as you download before March 14th, 2014. Additionally, if you use the service before September 14th, 2014 you’ll receive a Celebi! The level 10 Celebi will know Safeguard, Recover, Heal Bell, and Hold Back with a random nature that you cannot reset for.
If you’re in the regions with Pokémon Bank, just fire up your 3DS camera and use the QR code below to instantly get to its eShop page and then download Poké Transporter from within the downloaded app:
Not in one of those regions? Prep for its release by sorting out your boxes! Remember that only Box 1 in 5th generation Pokémon games can be transferred to Pokémon Bank and none of your Pokémon can be holding any items! Here’s hoping there aren’t any server issues and everyone gets access to the service asap.

I don’t get off work until 5:30. How many days will I have to wait for the server to recover?
Downloading it before the servers crash so happy!
I love how all the “BANK SWAG, YO” topics get instantly outdated
based late school day
Dammit why must I have work today…
Pokebank is going to make breeding so much easier finally, with an army of perfect Dittos (and the oddball egg move I guess).
still booooooooo Europe
I still haven’t figured out how to receive the Celebi.
EDIT: Once you have used Pokemon Bank enough, you ca receive Celebi via Pokemon Link.
Upload some pokemon, leave, go back in, withdraw them, leave, go back in. That’s how I got it.
Now I wish I was unemployed.
USA! USA!

HOLY CRAPPIN POOPOO!I AM GOING TO USE EXPLOSION! I LOVE YOU NUGGET BRIDGE! I AM GONNA BUY A HOODIE FROM YOU!
Has anyone figured out how to earn battle points through using bank? I was under the impression the more you used it the more Bp you get, but I’m starting to think you only get the initial 10
