This enraged many players, mainly those in non-Japanese regions who had not even been given the opportunity to download Pokémon Bank yet. For the next month, people took to the internet to criticize Nintendo for not expecting the online traffic the application would garner, as well as taking it down so abruptly. On social media outlets such as [http://www.twitter.com Twitter], any message that Nintendo's official account would post, regardless of its content, would be met with scathing replies by fans demading to know when the application would be released. | This enraged many players, mainly those in non-Japanese regions who had not even been given the opportunity to download Pokémon Bank yet.

This meme, although very prolific in its time, met with a quick death. Pokémon Bank was re-released on the Japanese eShop on January 21, 2014, and the rest of the world followed shortly after, with Europe, Australia, and New Zealand getting it on February 4, and the Americas getting it on February 5. The fandom initially rejoiced over finally being able to access the application, but since there was nothing to complain about anymore, the subject was quickly dropped, and everyone moved on to the next big thing to obsess over. | This meme, although very prolific in its time, met with a quick death.
