It is pretty well worth it, it's only $5 per year or whatever. Compare to the old equivalent pokemon box games on the home consoles and it's not a bad deal and has a much better UI. The only thing that really annoys me is since it's tied to your nintendo account, it's console locked. So if you want to switch to a new 3DS you have to buy a new subscription, take pokemon from the bank onto your cart and then bring them from the cart to your new DS's bank.
I think paying $5 every time a new game comes out is worth it over the fucking annoying pal park from 3 to 4 and the annoying dreamcatcher minigame from 4 to 5 as well if you're just in it for the transfering. You don't need to subscribe during a gen, they say they eventually delete your bank if you're not subscribed but I didn't have one from X/Y until just a few days ago and all of the junk I left in it was still there. Just take everything important out when you're letting your subscription lapse to be safe.
Plus they do some exclusive distributions over it which are a nice perk.
