Pokemon is one of the most successful games, despite being around for more than a decade, and the recent release of X & Y has only made it stronger.
However, the fans are a bit piqued by the cloud storage solution Nintendo offered them. The company offered them Pokemon Transporter and PokeBank so they could move their Pokemon from earlier games into X & Y.
It sounds ideal, allowing as it does players to port older Pokemon over to newer games – maybe for several years into the future. The PokeBank service failed to launch, though, and the Pokemon community has divided into two factions – one excited about the service and the other worried. Now that it is released globally, there are still some complaints.
The worried ones are looking at reports of the hackers bypassing security, leading to hacked Pokemon busting onto the scene.
Getting a new Pokemon is fab in X & Y, but the fans are worried that hackers could ruin the game by flooding it with illicit shinies. There are a few YouTube videoss of Pokemon that have been transferred to X & Y, that….err, never should have got past security.
The PokeBank service has been launched globally only last week. We have to hope that Nintendo is suitably hot on security as what we are seeing at the moment is some questionable migrations.
