The second Pokémon Direct has revealed a new feature called Pokémon Bank, a new feature downloadable only on Nintendo 3DS-family devices. This software will allow the user to deposit their Pokémon directly onto a special Cloud server. Pokémon Bank will hold up to 3000 Pokémon and can be accessed at any time as long the user is connected to the internet.
Pokémon Bank is tied to the 3DS system rather than a specific game, which hints at allowing a person an easier time of transferring Pokémon from one version to the other. In addition, Pokémon Bank has a variety of search functions.
Pokémon Bank is a paid service, with an annual fee for usage; however, the amount of this fee has not yet been announced. Nintendo justifies the subscription as paying for the maintenance cost and continuing to offer the service for future Pokémon titles. There will be a free trial period for a short time after the launch of the Bank to allow users a chance to test out the software before committing.
Pokémon Bank will also allow users to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Black or White and Black 2 or White 2 to their Pokemon X or Y games using a feature called Poké Transporter. This is bundled with the Pokémon Bank and allows for a user to insert a Black or White or a Black 2 or White 2 cartridge and be able to upload their Pokémon from those games onto the Pokémon Bank for easy transfer to Pokémon X and Y. The Poké Transporter cannot return Pokémon to Pokémon Black or White, or to Pokémon Black 2 or White 2 after they have been stored in an online Box.
In a recent effort to continue down playing the use of illegal Pokémon in tournaments, the Pokémon Bank and Transporter will block illegally obtained Pokémon from being uploaded to the Bank or to move those Pokémon between Boxes.
