Nintendo Japan has taken the measure of removing the Pokemon Bank from the Japanese Nintendo 3DS eShop. The application was supposedly removed due to the influx of users accessing the Nintendo Network yesterday and bringing the service to a halt. This means that users cannot download the Pokemon Bank anymore and currently cannot access the features of the game. Nintendo Japan hasn’t made clear when both the Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter will return, or if the western release has been delayed. However, Nintendo has clarified that the 30 day trial for previously registered users will restart when the app eventually returns.

Thanks, Jason
