now they can cry about the $5 subscription fee once the free trial ends

it's not as bad as needing another ds

and it's $5 per year so it's not that bad anyway

They could've done a lot to make the transfer process easier.

1. Why can Transporter only deposit to the transport box? Because of this, you have to repeatedly switch to Bank in order to move stuff out of the transport box to free it up for another transfer.
2. Why can Transporter only transfer from Box1? Because of this, you have to repeatedly open the gen5 game to reorganize pokemon into box1 between every box transfer.
3. Why can Transporter only transfer from Gen5 games? Supporting Gen4 should've been easy.

If I were the one implementing this, I'd combine both into one app; Bank could be started with any gen4/5/6 game and, if it's not gen6, the interface would be deposit only, but it'd let you move pokemon from any box on the card to any of the cloud boxes.

As it stands now, the process for transferring a couple boxes is:
[spoiler]1. Download Bank from eShop
2. Start Bank with Gen6 card inserted
3. Read introduction stuff (and redeem trial)
4. Click the button in Bank to download Transporter
5. Download Transporter from eShop
6. Insert and start a Gen5 game
7. Reorganize boxes so that Box1 is filled with things you want to transfer and save
8. Open Transporter
9. Confirm transportation of Box1
10. Open Bank
11. Switch game cards to X/Y
12. Move Transport Box's contents elsewhere
13. Start X/Y to redeem first Pokemon Link reward (BP)
14. Repeat steps 6-12 if you want to transfer another box
15. Start X/Y to redeem second Pokemon Link reward (Celebi)
16. Repeat steps 6-12 as many times as necessary to transfer anything else you want to.[/spoiler]

this process could've easily been trimmed to about 5 steps with no repeats

I only had to transfer three boxes, so it wasn't all that bad, but that's still enough for the process to be annoying. Also, Transporter didn't let my Groudon through, but I was pretty certain this Groudon is a legitimate one caught in Ruby. Maybe not.
