Note that this Celebi event has ended, thus is no longer obtainable as a prize from Pokebank.
Original instructions:
You will receive Celebi the SECOND time you run the Pokebank.
The steps I took were:
- Ran the Pokebank for the first time, agreed to the terms & free trial
- Chose a gift option (choice between Battle Points & Pokemiles)
- Transferred some Pokémon to the Bank
- Went and claimed the Battle Points from the Pokemon Start Menu 'Link Gift' option (screenshot below)
- Loaded & Saved the game
- Quit and went back into the Pokebank
- Received Celebi
I am not sure if you need to transfer Pokemon or simply close and reopen the Pokebank in order to receive Celebi According to a few different reports you don't need to transfer Pokemon at all, just close and reopen the Pokebank - but those are the steps I took.
Pokemon link option on the main menu:
I can say 100% that yes, you can. The only restriction is that you must have your pokedex. I have tried this, and can confirm. I know the pokedex thing because I attempted to access the bank with a different game in, and that is specifically what Bridget says.
On top of that, the bank is only tied to your Nintendo ID. I have traded between three different games with the bank already, two Ys and an X. So that is 100% possible, as well.
Keep in mind you can't use this to transfer items. If your Pokemon is holding an item, it will be sent back to your bag, and if the bag is full it will be deleted instead.

Yes. Every time you earn enough points in Poké Bank for transfer to your game, the application will ask you whether you want them in Poké Miles or BP. However, you can't change any points that have already been sent to your game.
