As someone who has Pokebank, I can tell you it's useless 99.9% of the time! I literally have it sitting there since I'm out of space in the games and just have it full of my competitive teams I never use (about 2200 mons) and the other ~800 are basically the entire Pokedex in incremental order so I can just move them in whatever game I need to to instantly finish the dex. So besides one or two uses a YEAR, all I have it for is for BP farming (get about 7 a day), but even that can be avoided with save editing. All in all, it's useless! What's also important to know is that you can get Pokebank without a pass, download Poke Transporter and you can move the gen 1, 2 and 5 mons to the new games WITHOUT paying. Yes, you only pay the storage, transfers are free!
Sorry for getting this thread off topic, but can you download Poke Transporter for free? Or do you need to pay for something?

Poke Transporter is free and you don't even need a license to transfer stuff.

never knew spending $5 for pokebank was such a big issue.

It's not just that, it's about leaving your Pokemon in the cloud with Nintendo. First you need to make an NNID, which some people may not want to do. Then you need to pay $5 per year for the service. Now imagine if you've homebrewed your 3DS, which you probably have if you're on this forum. If Nintendo decides to ban you, even wrongly, that's it. Poof. You will never have access to anything in Pokebank ever again. Doesn't matter what you do or say, Nintendo will never unban that NNID's access to Pokebank, and since the contents of Pokebank can't just be transferred to another NNID, you're screwed.

PKSM is much safer in that everything is stored locally on the SD card, which can always be backed up, swapped, etc. It's also free homebrew.

Everyone has their reasons. Why pay when you can get it for free? To support Nintendo? Sure, valid reason, your reason. Simply keep it to yourself.

My Actual Non-Shit Post Opinion: I used to pay for PokeBank service, it's not like it's super overpriced or nothing, PKSM just provides much more than storing and transferring mons which PokeBank doesn't do.

will this ever have gen 1 or 2 support? Being banned and having only one 3ds makes it impossible for me to transfer my pokes from R/G/B/Y/G/S. So the support would be extremely useful.

The pokedex flag doesn't work when I use the (export in one click?) button
Why ?
It's a personal problem ?
yeah it's really annoying to put every pokemon in the daycare and take it out again

I'm not sure of the dev's current stance, but he's previously indicated he would not be adding support for the VC games.

From memory, the reason cited was a lack of interest in purchasing the games, and given his strong anti-piracy stance that leaves no other means of getting access to them.

The project is Open Source, anyone is welcome to add support for the VC titles and lodge a pull request.

this is why you only send it one time, then move them all to the game of choice.

If homebrewing is the way you really want to steer in the event that its not an option, you might as well just export saves from both games, and clone the pokemon over with pkhex

You can make mon list sheets with PKSM's companion cia app, TeamListFiller. It's also made by the same guy who made PKSM for convenience. Just google "PKSM-Tools" and you will find that repo. No big deal.
