Why does everyone keep bitching about Pokemon Bank..? There's a free trial, so there's plenty of time for you to transfer all your pokemon for free. Besides, it's not like Nintendo/Game Freak hasn't done something like this before (Event Pokemon, the $20 Pokemon Box Gamecube Game, movie-exclusive pokemon, etc). Hell, even if you're bitching about the price itself, it's five dollars per fucking month to store 3,000 pokemon on online servers. It costs money to keep those servers running, and they aren't just gonna pull all that money out of their asses.
