Good to know. I've been putting off playing X until I can transfer my pokemon up.
Just be sure to get Blazinkenite Torchic before the Event ends in a few weeks.
Already did. I made it past the first gym or so, I think. I was playing Black 2 a bit, too, but only so I had a copy to transfer my stuff over to X with.
Good job, I'm doing the same thing too with playing all the older games right now, but I've developed the SR Shiny bug when it comes to Method 1 pokes and Legendaries. =x
I don't have the patience for that stuff anymore. Got too much else to do and play.
So eShop is down now, is the PokeBank just flat out TBD for NA now?
TBD for everywhere. Think they may have to recode it so it doesn't kill Nintendo's servers again
I hope not. It would probably be for the best though.

I think "storing Pokémon and allowing old Pokémon to be transferred" ranks higher than "preventing non-obvious hacks".

fuckin' called it, man
I couldn't take my hacked guys in BW online, what's the problem?
Not exactly. Decent hacks, yes. Obvious ones with unavailable abilites/ridiculous stats? No.
Exactly the same as BW

Yeah I think people assumed too much with "hack". It always has been "as long as they're legit-looking".

It's because there's always the possibility of said moves becoming legal due to future event/game/patch/etc.

Any of the following, Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, or White 2 will work. (You need one 5th-gen game in between the 4th- and 6th-gen games.)
As long as it's not an impossible Pokémon, it'll go through fine. (You'll need two DS systems for the 4th-to-5th-gen transfer.)
I can't use a 3DS and a DS?
Yes you can, but the 4th gen game must be on the DS (I think, I did it that way).
Yes you can. That's what I did.

Just remember: any 3DS/3DS XL/2DS counts as a DS for the purposes of transferring from 4th-gen to 5th-gen.

For the most part, isn't GAME FREAK Inc. just a subsidiary of Nintendo in the first place?
I don't think they're a subsidiary of Nintendo. Just an independent company that works with Nintendo as partners.
I believe Creatures Inc. is the company Nintendo has some stake in, not sure if it is wholly owned by them.
All 3 of them (Nintendo, Game Freak, and Creatures Inc.) own stake in TPCi so they all benefit from the Pokemon franchise flourishing.
For all I know, I'm just talking out of my ass about this lol. This is stuff I've read throughout various posts talking about the relationship between the companies.
So I just got a used copy of White 2 and saw that the person who had it before me had collected some pretty cool Pokemon.
Although news of the PokeBank being delayed didn't affect me at first, now I feel like I have to wait til it comes out before starting a new game... otherwise all that Pokemon would've gone to waste.

They probably had to delay Pokemon Bank another day to take the time to reply to your email.
I want to say Nintendo has some stake in Game Freak. I remember reading something like that.

But not fully controlled. I mean, they made non-Nintendo games back then.
And I believe Pokemon, while owned by Nintendo, is not solely owned by that company, but rather by PCi. It's a reason why we see Pokemon outside of Nintendo stuff, like in tablets and even in Sega.

That would make sense.
I don't think TPCi owns the Pokemon IP at all. I think TPCi only exists to manage the franchise with licensed products, anime, TCG, and etc. It is like that to not associate Nintendo with the brand completely I believe.
Pretty sure it is only owned by Nintendo, Creatures Inc., and Game Freak.
Pokémon as intellectual property is owned by Nintendo, GameFreak and Creatures Inc.
In addition to that, Nintendo has a stake in GameFreak and a stake in Creatures Inc.
The Pokémon Company was set up to deal with licensing of merchandise, greenlighting of games and so forth. The CEO of The Pokémon Company, Tsunekazu Ishihara, is also the joint-CEO of Creatures Inc.

Anyone else end up in a situation like what I'm in?

Lack of post-game content, plus I already completed my Singles team, plus I have no desire to play Doubles since I hate the format. I was waiting for PokeBank, but that's not an option anymore lol.
The lack of post game has really took a toll for me. Waiting for the bank now.
As someone who doesn't intend to hack anymore and never really plays competitively anyway, I just want to trade my whole collection up. I don't want to scam folks, but some of my hacked mons were things I used the whole game.

Same, I only started up the game again since I realized my brother beat the Elite 4 on his game so I was wondering what Pokemon he had in his Friend Safari.
Oh and I guess clear out all the damn Streetpasses I got for the game.
Finishing the Kalos dex independently is kind of pointless when you can fill it with zero effort using pokebank though.

Ugh so pissed I can't find my copy of White. Have about 500 Pokemon including every starter and most legendaries. Hoping I can find it before Pokebank comes out.

I'm still training a bunch of mons and mostly clearing Friend Safari.
I'm surprised at people still not finishing E4.

I will play the game when I can transfer my dang Pokemon. The last thing I want to do is play, catch a bunch and then find out I can't fit my collection in the boxes on the cartridge.

The whole point of a new game is to make a new team... If you are worried that your collection won't fit either release some or put them in the Bank.

wait what
your number of boxes always expands as soon as you reach a "limit". The pseudo-limit exists so you can scroll through boxes easily. I think the cap is 31 boxes.
Are you telling me you have 900~ish Pokemon?
I have a question (or two) for those on GAF who still may collect the cards.
I used to collect myself back in the late 90's to mid-00's. And recently, I just got the urge to start collecting again, just to maybe get my childhood feels rolling in. Nothing major, and only a handful, then I'll probably sell them all away to my local Comic Shop.
With that said, there's a few unobtainable cards that I remember learning about back in the day, that I just couldn't get even if I was ready and willing. Is there any people/buisness' that make Reproduction/Replica of cards? I'm not talking about Knock-Offs, sold as "authentic", but clear reprints intended for the satisfaction of the hobbyist. Something the Comic Book and Gaming Industry embaces.

XY has made me really hate the fact that I don't have the willpower to wait for third versions.
