Pokemon Bank release delayed
With Pokemon Bank's original release date being today, and it getting delayed just yesterday. People are wondering why it has been delayed. Nintendo is making the claim it was due to high-traffic in the eShop. Which to me makes no sense.

I did a little digging and now I truly think that Pokemon Bank was delayed due to illegal Pokemon still being transferred through the system, and Nintendo wants to fix that flaw before the release.


Pokemon Bank is allowing for hacked Pokemon, despite what had been originally expected. Long story short, illegal Pokemon – creatures that can’t exist naturally – are finding their way into the app. Now the question is whether Nintendo and Game Freak intend to address this in the future, or if things will stay as is.

Nintendo has always hated people that cheat or hacked their games. They even sued Game Genie because of it.

Also PokeBank is available again in Japan and in many Asian markets so its only a matter of time before it comes to the US and EU.
