So I have to wonder, what with pokebank causing massive shit storms back when it was revealed, how many of you fags actually bought it?

The only reason we wanted pokebank was to transfer our bros from previous gens. After that we had no further reason to use it. A single day was sufficient for almost everyone.

I bought it. Not for the Bank feature, but for the Transfer.

I still have it in case I feel the need to transfer most of my Box 'Mons from Y to the eventual Z.

I bought a year pass. I'm making a living Pokedex and it's a great long term investment just to dump everything at once when I new game comes out.

I'm going to buy it once it's imperative to complete the natdex. Plus it's nice to have something to transfer between XY and ORAS.

Going to use it to easily use a frillish I'll breed in X in place of my starter in AS.

I'll probably port over a level 5 nincada, since Shedinja's a total bro, it's just a tad impractical ofr main game.

I was lazy and missed my free trial for the transfers. So, I'll buy it once I have all my mons in Black 2 and I'm ready to transfer.
Still would have preferred an alternative to online-only transfers.

pretty sure it just means having 1 of each Pokemon rather than just 1 of each evolution line

I think it's pretty silly

I got it, but just for transfer capabilities (which I didn't end up utilizing fully until the trial expired because I'm a lazy bastard). Right now my Bank doesn't even have any Pokemon in it except for an old Unown collection, though; working on a living dex just for the hell of it, so all my Pokemon are in X right now.

I agree, but I came up with a more sane plan personally (not harping people who go for all 718.)

My plan was to complete the national in XY, keep everything I used to fill the dex up, meaning mostly final evos. In the next games, I would breed for first forms, and evolve once if necessary. Finally, in the next next games, I'll only have to breed. Then, I'll have everything (minus new pokemon added, which i'll of course add in as time goes on)

I call this plan gen 8 is gr8

Since all pokebank does is store files on a server somewhere, could the app be cracked to save to a file on your home PC instead?

Until the 3DS is hacked, and the Pokebank protocols can be successfully replicated by a homebrew app, don't count on it.
However, if the Pokemon are saved to your X/Y cart, the save file could be copied and read.

Forgot to add, the server may not even share all the data about a Pokemon until it's downloaded to the game. It might, but with the 3DS locked down as it is it's hard to be sure.
>>19135295
What do you mean by changing the server address? Why would you not want to connect to the Pokebank servers? If you're referring to my statement about protocols, that's a little more complicated.

change server IP to your own IP and have a little application that stores the files in whatever format. Maybe even an editable text format.

I did because I'm an autistic breeder and need lots of storage space to store all my breeding leftovers.
Being able to transfer Pokémon from old games at any time is also nice.

I got it so I could gen up legendaries or other Pokémon at any time for my friends.
I also occasionally gen up a ditto or two for anons on /vp/ who ask for them. I also sometimes wondertrade off perfect competitive legendaries.

So did I in previous gens but it seems the shiny charm is going to be a recurring thing now so the ability to auto complete any dex is just a long term investment.
