Pokemon Bank release delayed outside of Japan

Pokemon Bank

When Pokemon X and Pokemon Y launched back in October, fans had to wait for the Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter app that allows for the storage and movement of Pokemon from Pokemon Black, Pokemon White, Pokemon Black 2, and Pokemon White 2 to the latest generation of games. However, it’s recent Japanese launch did not go as planned and has now caused the release in the US and Europe to be delayed from its initial release date of today.

The eShop is currently down for maintenance, but prior to that, the listing for Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter was changed to “to be determined.” We don’t expect a new release date to be announced until after the maintenance is complete on the eShop later tonight. As soon as we found out, we will relay that information.
