>>13648035There's a trial period right after the Bank becomes available. That's for those who don't want to pay a yearly fee. Especially if you buy them at launch. This is really to punish cheaters because most people who have been set in the ways of using fakeGTS and Pokesav won't be willing to pay the $5-$10 later down the line. Also, since 3DS hacking is still in it's infancy/nipped in the bud there isn't a way for illegal pokemon to be made for now.
