Pokemon Bank US Release Officially Delayed

[Dragonbums]

gamefreak are the last people on earth who will do anything useful or meaningful like an official simulator in which you can use your in-game team or trading pokemon through a website and not the game with this judged by what they're already doing with the global link service.

And why would they even bother doing this?

There are multiple websites that already have this accomplished, and have been doing this for years, and Gamefreak knows and does not care for it.

What is the point of that feature when you can go online and battle with that same team in game team? Global Link is just the name given to said online feature. The website itself is just some random hub with news and item trades.

Gamefreak has done many useful things for the Pokemon community.

For one, they made EV training so easy that a complete noob can do it. Which is praised around the Pokemon community.

Secondly, they made IV training something that's realistically obtainable with a couple hours of dedicated time. Something that again was only done by the most insane trainers in the community.

Third, they brought back the Pokeradar. Allowing folks to chain catch shiny Pokemon and exchange them all over the place.

Wonder trade is a great place to get started on competitive teams since those in the competitive field are nice enough to send their extras off to Wonder Trade as opposed to deleting them off the game.

Battling online has been much easier. You don't even have to go to a Pokemon Center anymore. Just connect to the internet and go.

You overlook all of these things just so you can complain and rant for basically asinine reasons. You are just being spiteful for the sake of being spiteful, and if you hated it so much then why do you continue to buy Pokemon games?

Oh, wow. It's nice to see gamers going for the console that seems least abhorrent. So, yeah. I guess that's cool.

Just more evidence of why you shouldn't buy a game expecting developers to keep their promise about feature updates in the future. Games should be content complete at launch or else problems such as the pokebank occur.

I do want to have a better system for getting my Pokemon into one place than my current plan of "Funnel them down the line of 3rd gen to 4th gen to 5th gen". The Pokemon Bank thing could definitely help me when I get that urge to restart games...

Probably only compatible with X and Y anyway though... Black 2 being my most recent title...

Hmm, will need to read into this more when it is launched.

Except for the fact that Pokemon don't go back on their promises, and it was up and running for a short time before being taken down if the Swamperts, and Zekroms flooding the game are anything to go by.

This is also excluding the fact that X and Y itself is a pretty full game, the Pokebank itself worked great when it wasn't bogged down by an overworked holiday server and the reason why they took it down was to fix the holes where illegal Pokemon were still getting through, and relieve strain on Nintendo's stressed servers.
