-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 the internet waited for the next big thing to obsess over.

 ==Please Understand==
+Another meme spawned by the delayed release of the Pokémon Bank is ''Please Understand'', a catchphrase used by the CEO of Nintendo, {{wp|Satoru Iwata}}, which he uses as an apology disappointing news related to Nintendo merchandise or software.  Although he usually says this in {{bp|Nintendo Direct|Nintendo Directs}} and never made an announcement himself related to the Pokémon Bank's delay, the catchphrase became popular due to Nintendo's reasoning for taking the application down.  This catchphrase is still widely used not only in the Pokémon fandom but theoughout the entire Nintendo fandom.  It is often said online accompanied by a picture of Iwata.
