After the long wait for a lot of "Pokemon X and Y" fans, the Pokemon Bank has finally been released by Nintendo for Australia, New Zealand and Europe.

According to trusted Pokemon source Serebii, Pokemon Bank is already live in Australia, New Zealand and Europe and is already at Version 1.1 when gamers download it. Already, Reddit fans of the game have started dropping by the eShop to see if this is the real deal---and many are rejoicing that it is finally making its way to Aussie gamers.

Those who want to test out the service first instead of buying immediately will get a chance to sample it using the 30-day free trial, one that can be redeemed for the three aforementioned areas until March 14.

Sadly, those in North America still have to wait for a while longer, as no details have been revealed on when the Pokemon Bank will become available in the region.

For those who are wondering on the fee for the Pokemon Bank, it's available for £4.49 to €5, reports Joystiq. Players will also get a Poke Transporter app that's separate from the Pokemon Bank. This will allow them to transfer Pokemons from "Black," "White," "Black 2" and "White 2."

Getting Free Celebi from Pokemon Bank

For those who are lucky enough to get access to the "Pokemon X and Y's" Pokemon Bank, there's still the free Celebi waiting for free. Redditor haidro has posted a quick guide on how to get the free Celebi via Pokemon Bank.

After downloading the Pokemon Bank, gamers need to go to the app and set up the bank. There are two possible gifts that they can get, which is either the 100 Pokemiles or 10 BP. To get the Celebi, players can choose either, so long as they save, quit and return to "Pokemon X and Y."

Once gamers open the screen of the game, they need to click on the green button labeled Pokemon Link and then choose Yes for "Retrieve data using Pokemon Link." Once they get their choice of gift, they need to go to the Pokemon Bank app and try getting either the 100 Pokemiles or the 10 BP again.

*There's still a chance that "Dark Souls 2" will have a DLC, as long as fans demand for it: Check out more DLC news here.

Players will have to choose again, open "Pokemon X and Y" again, click on Pokemon Link and Yes to retrieving the data. This time, however, they will be given a Celebi instead of the choice they made. Based on the comments of those who have already tried, it seems that the type of Celebi players will get may vary.
