In a fandom as big as {{bp|Nintendo}}'s, memes are often born from disappointing moves or decisions made by the Big N that are prone to anger many fans. Whether it be the release date of a confirmed title not being announced for months, or a certain game from Nintendo's "Golden Years" not being remade for one of their modern consoles yet, Nintendo's shortcomings can spark memes of epic proportion, and the delayed release of a certain piece of utility software known as {{bp|Pokémon Bank}} is no exception.

==Pokémon Bank Delay==
Shortly after the release of {{bp|Generation VI}}'s first title, {{bp|Pokémon X and Y}}, {{bp|Game Freak}} announced the release of a utility application compatible with it, the Pokémon Bank. The Pokémon Bank was revealed to be an application downloadable on the {{bp|Nintendo 3DS}} {{bp|eShop}} which could be used for an annual fee of ¥500 in Japan, US$4.99 in North America, £4.49 in the United Kingdom, and €4.99 in Europe to transfer Pokémon between copies of Pokémon X and Y via a cloud-based service, removing the need for a second system to perform a trade. It was also revealed to come with a companion application, Poké Transporter, a service that would allow a one-way transport of Pokémon from {{bp|Generation V|the previous generation of games}} to the current generation, a feature which has been customary in the {{bp|core series}} games since {{bp|Pal Park}} in {{bp|Generation IV}}. Slated for a release date of December 25, 2013 in Japan, December 27 in the Americas and Europe, and December 28 in Australia and New Zealand, with a free 30-day trial to be available to all players, Pokémon Bank was cause for much excitement and anticipation in the Pokémon fandom, mostly because of Poké Transporter.
