We now finally have a Poké-Bank account and transferred many Pokémon to it (not all yet, we are working on it). Thankfully we only lost a small handful of them (those non-legit ones that could not be transferred). We are through the used copies of Pokémon Black Edition and Pokémon White Edition we own, but didnt try to trade those from Diamond and Perl etc. yet.
