The long awaited arrival of Pokemon bank for North America has finally come. Nintendo’s paid service allows users to store and withdraw up to 3,000 Pokémon, and when used with the Pokémon transporter, users will finally be able to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Black/White and Pokémon Black 2/White 2 to their X and Y copies.
Nintendo’s app will cost $4.99 for the monthly service. Additionally, users who download and activate their Pokemon bank before March 14th will receive a free 30-day trial and the legendary Pokémon Celebi added to their account. Originally launched in December, fans have been growing weary awaiting the arrival of the service.
While Nintendo has yet to officially announce the release of the Pokemon Bank, users are going nuts on Twitter confirming that its now in North American shops and ready for download.
“@PokeWorlds: Pokémon Bank is now available to download in North America! Don’t forget to get the Celebi :)” @NikolasAC !
