Pokemon Bank Will Be Launching on December 27th

Pokémon fans should get ready to mark their calendars this month because on December 27th, the Pokemon Bank will be available at the Nintendo 3DS eShop.

Last week The Pokémon Company International released a video, that showed the features and the functionality of the new Pokémon Bank, the soon to be released downloadable software is a new Nintendo 3DS service for Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. You can view the video here

When the players download the Pokémon Bank, players can:

  • Store up to 3,000 Pokémon – with the Pokémon Bank, players will have up to 100 Boxes that can hold up to 30 Pokémon, allowing the player to store up to a total of 3,000 Pokémon. And as a comparison, pervious storage system for your Pokémon, such as Pokémon Box for the Nintendo GameCube, and My Pokémon Ranch for the Nintendo Wii, could hold a maximum for 1,500 Pokémon.
  • Have Online Boxes – as long as players have the Pokémon Bank, players will be able to link up to their own dedicated Boxes online using their Nintendo 3DS to easily deposit and withdraw precious Pokémon. Now lets say that you have lost your copy of Pokémon X or Pokémon Y, your Pokémon will be safe and ready to be withdrawn into the new game.
  • Store Pokémon from Multiple Games – player can deposit and withdraw Pokémon from different copies of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y.
  • Move Many Pokémon – in the past, if you wanted to transfer Pokémon that you caught in other Pokémon games, you needed two game systems, and then you had to move Pokémon one at a time. With the Pokémon Bank, player can conveniently transfer many Pokémon at once, without the need of two gaming systems.

Now for those who would like to download the Pokémon Bank, player will have to pay an annual charge of 4,99 € EUR / 4,49 £ GBP will allow the service to be maintained long-term so it can provide support for future Pokémon titles. The service charge will also enable the management and maintenance needed to allow everyone access to the online storage.

But there is a No-Charge Trial period, for any player who will download the Pokémon Bank between its release day (December 27) and until January 31st, 2014, can obtain a complimentary 30-day trial pass within the application. So don’t miss the chance to try out the Pokémon Bank.
