The Pok\u00e9mon Company has released a notice<\/a> concerning Pok\u00e9mon Bank. It clarifies that all Pok\u00e9mon have been kept in the bank regardless of how long they have been there or the status of any paid passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pok\u00e9mon Bank is an application and service for the Nintendo 3DS that allows you to deposit, store, and manage Pok\u00e9mon that you have caught across a number of games in the series. The application also includes additional features, such as the ability to view the National Pok\u00e9dex and the Adventure Records, which let you look at your stats from the games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the service first launched in 2013, it was compatible with Pok\u00e9mon X and Y, the latest games in the series at that time, and support was added for the other core series 3DS titles as they were released. Furthermore, by using the Pok\u00e9 Transporter, you could also transfer Pok\u00e9mon from the Virtual Console or Nintendo DS core series games to Pok\u00e9mon Bank. Pok\u00e9mon HOME serves as the successor to Pok\u00e9mon Bank and performs the same functions for the titles available on the Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In July 2022, The Pok\u00e9mon Company announced that with the discontinuation of the Nintendo eShop service for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, the Pok\u00e9mon Bank service would become available at no cost to users. In line with the initial announcement, Pok\u00e9mon Bank became free to use as of March 27 (PDT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as the Nintendo eShop service has shut down, it is no longer possible to download Pok\u00e9mon Bank, so only those who had previously downloaded the application to their 3DS will be able to continue using it.

When Pok\u00e9mon Bank was previously a paid service, it was explained that if a player\u2019s paid pass had expired, then after a period of time, any Pok\u00e9mon they had stored in the bank would be deleted. Perhaps concerned by that previous explanation, some took this opportunity to ask about what happened to any Pok\u00e9mon that they had stored in the bank once any paid passes that they purchased had expired and they had not used the service for an extended period of time. In response to this query, The Pok\u00e9mon Company stated that all Pok\u00e9mon have been kept in the bank regardless of how long they have been there or the status of any paid passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time that Pok\u00e9mon X and Y were released, the president and CEO of The Pok\u00e9mon Company, Tsunekazu Ishihara, said, \u201cWe have created Pok\u00e9mon Bank so that from now on, all players will be able to stay together with their precious Pok\u00e9mon, no matter if the hardware and software they use to play changes.\u201d (Pok\u00e9mon X and Y official site<\/a>). That ideal seems to have remained the same to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official Japanese Pok\u00e9mon Twitter account posted a message<\/a> stating, \u201cAll Pok\u00e9mon that have been deposited into the bank have been looked after with great care.\u201d Many users have replied to the tweet, expressing their gratitude for the way their Pok\u00e9mon have been handled.

Incidentally, it is also possible to transfer Pok\u00e9mon from Pok\u00e9mon Bank to Pok\u00e9mon HOME if you subscribe to Pok\u00e9mon HOME\u2019s Premium Plan.
