Long story short, I recently got back into Pokemon and have a lot of shiny pokemon on my Omega Ruby file I'd like to transfer up to more recent games. I have Pokemon Home set up, BUT I never got Pokemon Bank on my 3DS and apparently I can't get it anymore, and from what I can tell I need that to transfer from 3DS to Home. Is there any way I can still transfer them?

    There's hacking and modding to make your 3DS have it.

    If you don't want to do that you could find a 3DS that already has it installed (you could buy a used 3DS that has it, or have a friend who has it installed). Same thing for Poké Transporter.

    Also you don't need to pay for Pokémon Bank since the 3DS eShop closing was announced.
