Looks like Gamefaqs have successfully found a way to prevent hacked mon.

I don't understand how it prevents hackedmon. If it does then that's great! Now I'm just curious to see the annual price fee.......

It's stupid that you have to buy the Poke Bank just to download the add-on that allows you to transfer your Pokemon from older games to the new ones. That's the only feature I really want, I don't really need to store freaking 3000 Pokemon.

Well, it probably won't perfectly prevent it. Basically, it will be impossible to hack Gen 6 pokemon for a while. At the same time, bringing your gen 5 and under pokemon to the new games will cost money, which may deter some people from trying to import their hacks. On top of that, it's using cloud storage as a middle man, so I fully expect there will be legality checks. If a pokemon is able to be flagged as hacked, it would probably not be allowed into the Bank. Only perfectly created hacks will slip through.

Pokebank has a free 30 day trial. However, I do wish that the service would be free. Even a one time fee would be better then an annual fee.

It's 500 yen a YEAR. Give or take $5 stateside. Not a day, not a week, not a month, but a WHOLE YEAR. Pretty dang cheap if you ask me. Free is always better, but this really ain't much of a problem. You can always use that free trail period to transfer anyway.

Some people always have a cellphone on them. I'm so awesome I always have a 3DS.

Each Pokemon file is less than a kb. You're being charged $5 a year for less than 3MB storage. Really should've just been like PokeRanch and been a one time fee mini game storage hybrid. Regardless, sucks for people who just want to transfer their pokemon but can't get the game before the trial ends. :/

There's a free trial at least so you can just download it transfer all your Pokémon before the trial expires then never use it again. Also they should have just let you store 3,000 Pokémon in game because I know that would be possible.

 

EDIT: Where was the Japanese price confirmed? The Japanese website?
