Pokémon Bank is Shutting Down

TheJeffers · August 13

Pokémon Bank will be shutting down in February 2027. This will mean that all transfers to Home from gen 7 and before will be cut off. You will need to make any transfers before then.

That sucks an indescribably, unbelievably large amount. I miss when transferring Pokémon was an in-game feature and not a paid subscription.

My thinking is that they might be upgrading the system or changing to an entirely new one. It's not like the National Dex has been in their thoughts since Gen 8 so 🤷🙅. Besides, it's a relic of the 3DS era and must be swept away to quote Governor Tarkin.

Tbf Nintendo and Pokemon can't keep maintaining older systems forever

This feels like that one joke from Avatar

"Its so dark down here." - Sokka

"Oh no! What a nightmare!" - Toph

This doesnt really effect me too much but I still feel empathy for people who use it

I thought it shut down years ago

There really needs to be an alternative that doesn't require a server. There should've been one in the first place. I've been wanting to get a ribbon master for a while, and now there just isn't enough time left for me to do that. And this problem is entirely of TPCi's own making.
