"Nintendo have announced that, after three weeks, they have found a way to successfully work Pokémon Bank in the west. They have said that now, Pokémon Bank will be available only in physical form, and not use a cloud storage. Instead, players will need an empty SD card to store their Pokémon with. The physical copy of Pokémon Bank will come bundled with 'Mario Party Island Tour' set to hit shelves in Europe and Australia next week. The game is already out in the USA, and copies produced at the same time as the EU and AUS copies will come with the Pokémon Bank cartridge. With the Mario Party game will be a code which players can use to start their free one month trial of Pokémon Bank. After which, they will need to use the Pokémon Bank cartridge and connect to the internet and pay a $5 a year fee to continue using the storage; if it isn't paid after the year expires, the SD card containing the stored Pokémon will be locked until it is paid. Also; because of technical difficulties, the Pokémon Bank cartridge will not come with a gift Celebi.
