This means you will no longer be able to make new purchases or download software you did not already own before the servers close. As a result, some users might have forever lost the ability to transfer Pok\u00e9mon from previous generations over to new games using Pok\u00e9mon Bank and its Pok\u00e9 Transporter. Pok\u00e9mon Bank was initially released for the 3DS in Dec. 2013 and acted as a link between Nintendo DS and 3DS games, essentially giving players the ability to access Pok\u00e9mon from any game since Ruby and Sapphire. This would later go on to include functionality to connect Pok\u00e9mon Bank and Pok\u00e9mon HOME, further extending that generational link to the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices.\u00a0 Despite this, and the connected functionality Pok\u00e9mon Bank shares with the 3DS Virtual Console versions of the original Gen I and II Pok\u00e9mon games, it was not spared from this eShop closure. So if you want to ensure you have full functionality for Pok\u00e9mon Bank beyond the 3DS marketplace\u2019s demise, here is how you can lock in the Pok\u00e9 Transporter and keep transferring your Pok\u00e9mon for years to come.\u00a0 Related: Nintendo 3DS, Wii U eShops officially dead but some hope remains How to download the Pok\u00e9 Transporter for Pok\u00e9mon Bank on Nintendo 3DS The Pok\u00e9 Transporter acts as the core way for players to transfer Pok\u00e9mon from any Gen V game or the Virtual Console releases of Gen I and II into Pok\u00e9mon Bank. This will then allow you to transfer them into compatible titles or send them on to Pok\u00e9mon HOME. Essentially, if you have a copy of Black, White, Black 2, or White 2 this is the only way to bring Pok\u00e9mon from those games or that you have brought over from previous generations using in-game transfer features onto the 3DS and beyond. That also holds true for the 3DS VC versions of Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal\u2014as those titles have unique functionality to allow for transfers to Bank.\u00a0 If you want to use these transfer features, now that the 3DS eShop is closed, you will first need to download Pok\u00e9mon Bank to your system. Once you have the main software installed, open it up. If you have any compatible Pok\u00e9mon game on your 3DS system or inserted as a cartridge, you will have the ability to download the Pok\u00e9 Transporter at no additional cost. If you did this, you will have permanent access to the Pok\u00e9 Transporter and all of Pok\u00e9mon Bank\u2019s core features as long as the services remain active. And if you are worried about the service being discontinued with the eShop\u2019s closure, there is some good news.\u00a0 Can I still use Pok\u00e9mon Bank and the Pok\u00e9 Transporter on Nintendo 3DS?\u00a0 Thankfully, even with the 3DS eShop gone for good, Pok\u00e9mon Bank and all of its features will remain active for anyone who has downloaded the necessary apps. The Pok\u00e9mon Company has specifically stated Pok\u00e9mon Bank and the Pok\u00e9 Transporter will remain active post-eShop closure. However, you must have downloaded both or have had them downloaded at some point in the past, before March 27. Now that the eShop is dead you can only download software on the 3DS that you already own. TPC did ditch the subscription fee to use Bank when the eShop closed too\u2014though this has led to its own issues. Related: Pok\u00e9mon Bank\u2019s Pok\u00e9 Transporter broken after 3DS eShop closure This means you can use all of the app\u2019s services for free up until it is discontinued, which the company is still \u201cundecided\u201d on at this point.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/15213033\/pokemon-bank-screencap_960-0-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817817"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=817817"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817817\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":829404,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817817\/revisions\/829404"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=817817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=817817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=817817"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=817817"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=817817"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=817817"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=817817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

This means you will no longer be able to make new purchases or download software you did not already own before the servers close. As a result, some users might have forever lost the ability to transfer Pok\u00e9mon from previous generations over to new games using Pok\u00e9mon Bank and its Pok\u00e9 Transporter. Pok\u00e9mon Bank was initially released for the 3DS in Dec. 2013 and acted as a link between Nintendo DS and 3DS games, essentially giving players the ability to access Pok\u00e9mon from any game since Ruby and Sapphire. This would later go on to include functionality to connect Pok\u00e9mon Bank and Pok\u00e9mon HOME, further extending that generational link to the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices.\u00a0 Despite this, and the connected functionality Pok\u00e9mon Bank shares with the 3DS Virtual Console versions of the original Gen I and II Pok\u00e9mon games, it was not spared from this eShop closure. So if you want to ensure you have full functionality for Pok\u00e9mon Bank beyond the 3DS marketplace\u2019s demise, here is how you can lock in the Pok\u00e9 Transporter and keep transferring your Pok\u00e9mon for years to come.\u00a0 Related: Nintendo 3DS, Wii U eShops officially dead but some hope remains How to download the Pok\u00e9 Transporter for Pok\u00e9mon Bank on Nintendo 3DS The Pok\u00e9 Transporter acts as the core way for players to transfer Pok\u00e9mon from any Gen V game or the Virtual Console releases of Gen I and II into Pok\u00e9mon Bank. This will then allow you to transfer them into compatible titles or send them on to Pok\u00e9mon HOME. Essentially, if you have a copy of Black, White, Black 2, or White 2 this is the only way to bring Pok\u00e9mon from those games or that you have brought over from previous generations using in-game transfer features onto the 3DS and beyond. That also holds true for the 3DS VC versions of Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal\u2014as those titles have unique functionality to allow for transfers to Bank.\u00a0 If you want to use these transfer features, now that the 3DS eShop is closed, you will first need to download Pok\u00e9mon Bank to your system. Once you have the main software installed, open it up. If you have any compatible Pok\u00e9mon game on your 3DS system or inserted as a cartridge, you will have the ability to download the Pok\u00e9 Transporter at no additional cost. If you did this, you will have permanent access to the Pok\u00e9 Transporter and all of Pok\u00e9mon Bank\u2019s core features as long as the services remain active. And if you are worried about the service being discontinued with the eShop\u2019s closure, there is some good news.\u00a0 Can I still use Pok\u00e9mon Bank and the Pok\u00e9 Transporter on Nintendo 3DS?\u00a0 Thankfully, even with the 3DS eShop gone for good, Pok\u00e9mon Bank and all of its features will remain active for anyone who has downloaded the necessary apps. The Pok\u00e9mon Company has specifically stated Pok\u00e9mon Bank and the Pok\u00e9 Transporter will remain active post-eShop closure. However, you must have downloaded both or have had them downloaded at some point in the past, before March 27. Now that the eShop is dead you can only download software on the 3DS that you already own. TPC did ditch the subscription fee to use Bank when the eShop closed too\u2014though this has led to its own issues. Related: Pok\u00e9mon Bank\u2019s Pok\u00e9 Transporter broken after 3DS eShop closure This means you can use all of the app\u2019s services for free up until it is discontinued, which the company is still \u201cundecided\u201d on at this point.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/15213033\/pokemon-bank-screencap_960-0-2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817817"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=817817"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817817\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":829404,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817817\/revisions\/829404"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=817817"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=817817"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=817817"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=817817"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=817817"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=817817"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=817817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
