I already got my lvl 10 celebi + points on the 27th i think(when they restarted the service for those of us who already downloaded the app before it got taken off the eshop).

Don't really see the value in Pokebank, but that's probably becourse i'm only catching a few pokemon per game...

I wonder how the next games are going to be balanced though...
I'd be fun if i could just destroy everything with my lvl 99 Kawarazu no Ishi equiped Fokko Smile

Pokebank sounds so huge in its storage with its 3,000 spaces open on it.
And then I realize I bred 4,000 Charmander this gen for my shiny.
And now it's so small...

Either way, I got it and my Celebi! I need to trade it to someone who has beat the game, though, so I can figure out the IV's. I beat Y on my English 3DS, but now I'm playing X and haven't even gotten one badge yet...

so with this being delayed for as long as it has, are they still going to do that free first month for the subscription and the celebi promo?

PokeBank is for storing Pokemon.
It will cost 500 yen/$5.00 for one year of service, but for s limited time, if you download it, you can get a month free of the service.

Some people are frustrated, though, because this was introduced as the only way to transfer up Pokemon from 5th gen to 6th gen, and they're asking additional money for it and it's only for a year. They even plan on using it for transfer into future gens, too. Which would be neat if you only needed to transfer from 5th gen to 7th gen and beyond, but I guess $5 is a bit too much for some people. :/

Yeah. They already said they'd be changing the expiration date for the free subscription, and you've still got until September for the Celebi promo, so you'll be fine.
