Saw the summit news section the announcement and checked the eshop asap. Took forever for the eshop to load up properly. Only to find the bank still not available. Didn't want to check links before hand....didn't want to jynx it.

However it still proves there is a server issue with how sluggish the eshop is now acting. Nintendo has learned nothing. There is zero reason for the eshop server to be shared between different regions. I give up on you Nintendo til you learn to grow the hell up!

Exactly they need to Evolve. Maybe they are holding an EverStone. But who could be that Everstone?

finally... still no way to dump your items in the bank though. (and I doubt they even fixed the kalos mark bug either)
honestly, at this point, collecting all those items from the battle maison and berry farm is much more work than getting the same pokemon again...

I wouldn't say it is a server issue. Pokemon X and Y have been sold more than 10 million times, so if those users are going to connect all at once, of course the server will be slow.

I honestly wish they would release the 3rd game in each generation 1-4 on the eshop and made them compatible with the transfer app. So Yellow, crystal, emerald and platinum. I was would be perfectly fine with the first 3 3rd games if platinum is too new for them.

EDIT: Servers shouldn't be slowed down at all. I fear nintendo has fixed nothing on the server side and only delayed the launch in each region to decrease the amount of people connecting at once during launch. What's going to happen during holidays or vacation times when many more people will have more than usual spare time to connect? I see another crash in the future.

It would be more that Yellow and Crystal are too old than Platinum being too new. Remember 3rd gen had a major overhaul of the internal pokemon representation and is incompatible with anything before that.

So what! Gen 6 (x & y) have both had a major rehaul of the internal pokemon data from previous generations too now. I suspect when gen 5 and those pokemon transferred up from 3rd and 4th gens are sent to the bank from BW1/2, they get replaced with internally upgraded gen 6th copies.

Note, Nothing would stop gamefreak from updating the internal file structure in the old gens to match gen 5 to make them transfer/link app compatible.

No, PIDs didn't even exist in Gen 1-2. HP IV was directly dependent on the other IVs, shininess was calculated completely differently, secret IDs didn't exist, natures didn't exist and there's several other differences. This means that if you want to transfer a Pokemon from gen 2 to 3 (or higher) your only choice is to basically recreate it from scratch and attempt to find a matching PID, like Pokegen does. However, since not every combination is valid, it may be impossible to find a matching PID. Additionally, a nature would have to be randomly generated which would significantly change the Pokemon's stats. And then there's shininess which is calculated completely differently (and dependent on the non-existant secret ID!) so imported Pokemon would either lose shininess or suddenly become shiny for no reason.
