I know. That's what I said, did I not, I just misread the article, but I'm still mad how this happened
Gens 4-5 Play a quick and free mini game to transfer 6 pokemon.
Gens 5-6 Download 2 softwares for 3DS (that take forever to load), pay 5 bucks, and transfer pokemon.
edit: That escalated quickly
$5 a year to be able to transfer your Pokemon from your older games without having to use a second DS and cloud base storing system? Heck, I would of paid more.
Yeah, I misread it when I first saw it too, I thought it was $5/month as opposed to year. That was also before I knew about the free month trial. And before knowing all of this, even then I was still indifferent about it. Now I'm all for it and I may even subscribe to the full feature myself, if I end up needing it that is. If not, I'll just do the free trial to get my gen 5 Pokemon over. People hardly even have a reason to complain about having to pay to transfer your Pokemon over now, if you can just catch the free trial you wouldn't have to. I can see how it might be a pain for the future though, if you ever wanted to replay through B/W one day and needed to pay the $5 for the Bank just for the sole purpose of transferring over a group of Pokemon once and then to never use it again, as opposed to just doing the Pokemon transfer minigame for free. That doesn't really affect me though, I rarely replay games unless its for nostalgic reasons.
All in all, I'm good with the Bank.
I'm actually grateful for this. I won't be tempted to either A) Rush through parts of the game trying to get to the point to where you can start trading i.e. I can enjoy the game more, and B) Go the cheap route and use overpowered Pokemon I already have and not get the full new Kalos experience, again, i.e. enjoy the game more.

I am not to pleased with the Pokemon Bank/Transporter.
I get where GF is coming from with server maintenance and whatnot, but I don't want to buy one app to use the one I want to use (Transporter).
I understand $5 isn't much for what you're getting, but to be honest I am not interested in the whole "accessing your Pokemon everywhere".
Here's how it should've went...
Both apps cost $5 each (or less if there is a "bundled" sale).
If you need Transporter to transfer Pokemon from BW/2 go ahead!
Want to bank all your Pokemon for future use? Pay a fee and enjoy the glory!
Otherwise, I love the new Mega-Forms. I wonder if they'll reveal other starters with Mega Forms.

Mega Evolutions for the Kanto Pokemon look Baws!!!!!! Like TomoEGoto said, I hate the idea. But I'm going to transfer all my black and black2 pokemon to X and Y before the app free thing expires.

I think that its mentioned somewhere that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Kalos, but they may just make more Mega Stones in future games and introduce a new key item to utilise it or something.
I'm actually really wondering if they're gonna keep this mechanic for later games, considering what they've said about it being Kalos-exclusive, since this is pretty game-breaking.
I think what would work better is that the free version of the Transporter allows you to transfer Pokemon from Gen 5 up to Gen 6. That is all the free version will do. In addition, you'd only get a limited number of slots (6 minimum) to store things, and they can only be used for transfer into Gen 6.
The paid version adds on to that the cloud storage bit, for those who want to do it. To be honest, I don't think many people will even feel the need to store 3000 Pokemon up in there; that'd be way too much...unless you're like my crazy friend who filled up his Pokemon Box with Delibird eggs just to get the events out of the game.
I know I definitely don't need cloud storage for my Pokemon. Just give me the transfer option for free and leave it at that. If it turns out I want cloud storage later, I'll consider it.

To everyone complaining about the paid service:
It's 5 fudging DOLLARS A YEAR. Are you guys really that tight up for money?

Because nostalgia.
And the fact that it's much easier to transfer them now. Before, you had to play a dumb mini-game, and sometimes you couldn't even get all of your Pokemon. This little application lets up to 100 'mons move to your game, with no hassle. Even better, no hacked Pokemon are allowed.
That's worth paying for.

Woah, calm down bro. Quote someone else who's actually making a big deal about it, as I didn't even mention I had a problem with it.
First of all, that was posted during the Direct, prior to any prices being known. Second of all, I don't want to pay for it because it's not a service I'll have a need for. I don't transfer Pokémon from gen to gen, and I think there are maybe 2 boxes full in my White version.
Five dollars a year is chump change. It's a bargain for sure, but like I said, I have no need for it so I won't be utilizing the service.
You keep saying it was previously free but that wasnt you doing the same thing for free, that was you painstakingly playing a mini game and even before that it was cathcing hundreds of lvl 2 rats and trading them to the previous game for all your goods, that is still free, this is $5.
