You're probably thinking, "fuck, this thread again?" Nope. It's more relevant than ever.

Pokémon Bank is one of the most contentious issues in Pokémon's history - and not for bad reasons. Already exploiting fanbase by deliberately holding back already established features for ransom was a horrible example to start (and PMD and Fire Emblem already show that Nintendo are not above paid DLC). But Nintendo has made this situation even worse with their unbounded incompetence, not only by ripping off a promise of a release of those already gelded features, but with the sheer lack of tact in handling this complete failure to launch.

Honest gamers and consumers like us, who expect a quality *finished* product for reasonable prices, are being ripped off - in more ways than one as it turns out. Fortunately, we can take a stand. As of now, we MUST.

Intrepid, dedicated programmers will take the time to slowly chip away at the black box of Pokémon X and Y, as the makers of Instacheck, Pokégen and Battle Analyser and the revealer of the event legendaries. Once we have enough information gathered through ingenuine hacking, we will create OUR OWN STORAGE PROGRAM. We can even one-up Nintendo by making it local storage.

Then, we shall disseminate it free to use on the internet. Naturally, Nintendo will follow up with a C+D. That's when we take it to court.

We will argue that Nintendo and Game Freak have no right to maintain control of data as "how we use it." We will also argue that we created this program because of our dissatisfaction with Nintendo's (lack of) quality service, and if we should stop, they'd better step up. Should we succeed, we'll not only have succeeded in making a cheaper, more accessible, more RELIABLE alternative to Pokémon Bank. We shall be remembered as a landmark of free information and the downfall of the monopolisation and tightening control over information and the utter lack of care for the people who access it.

Now, trainers, let's roll.
