Pokémon Bank - eShop Removal & Possible Delay
Nintendo have announced that they have temporarily removed Pokémon Bank from the Nintendo 3DS eShop. This is following the massive influx of users on both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U coming on Christmas, plus the addition of Pokémon Bank causing the Nintendo Network to drive to a halt. This means users cannot download it anymore and currently cannot access the features of the game.. It is currently unclear when Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter will return, or if the western release is delayed. They have made it clear that the 30 day trial for previously registered users will restart when it returns.
Edit @ 13:14: Pokémon Bank is now listed with a release of TBD (To Be Decided) on the North American and European eShops. We'll bring details on this as soon as we can

These entries are created by the visitors for the visitors and then compiled by our writer BlueHarvest & KingTorterra. To get involved, Click here for the discussion forum Today, we are covering a Pokémon introduced in the fifth generation. Groups of them beat up anything that enters their territory. Each can spit acidic liquid from its mouth. It can smash concrete blocks with its kicking attacks. The one with the biggest crest is the group leader. It pulls up its shed skin to protect itself while it kicks. The bigger the crest, the more respected it is. So here it is, the seventh entry, Scrafty.

Pokémon Bank - Overview Trailer
In anticipation of its release in two weeks, The Pokémon Company has issued an overview trailer for the upcoming release, Pokémon Bank. It confirms that you can transfer entire boxes immediately within the Poké Transporter system that comes with it and that Pokémon Bank has advanced search filter systems akin to the ones in the boxes on Pokémon X & Y
You can also choose Battle Points to be earned rather than PokéMiles in Pokémon Bank when you deposit Pokémon
If your annual Bank fee ends, you can still withdraw your Pokémon for a short time, but will be lost afterwards forever. The period of time has yet to be announced.
Pokémon Bank ignores the 3DS's region lock so all games can be read and used for depositing/withdrawing Pokémon so if you have a US game, you can put it on a Japanese 3DS with Pokémon Bank installed and put Pokémon on there

For those of you who still play the Generation V Games, Black, White, Black 2 & White 2, the Global Link for those games is to go through the next phase of its shutdown on Tuesday December 10th. From December 10th, you'll be unable to put Pokémon to sleep any more, and will only be able to wake up your Pokémon one more time. This means that any of the C-Gear skins you pick will remain from that day onwards for the rest of your game. In addition to that, after you have sent the Pokémon back for the last time, you will have no more access to any Pokémon or Items in your Dream World so be sure to download them. Be sure to get this done as much as possible before the Global Link closes.

Serebii.net Advent Calendar
As we have done since 2003, this year I have created an Advent Calendar. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, an Advent Calendar is essentially a countdown until Christmas. Every day, a new puzzle and a variety of new downloads for you to enjoy. As time goes on, the puzzles get harder and the downloads get more plentiful, so be sure to check back every day. Following last year, we are doing a variety of puzzles which can be done in-browser rather than via printing. Click the picture you go to our Advent Calendar.
