![]() The Pokemon Company has announced that Pokemon Bank will operate like normal until March 2023 when the 3DS and Wii U eShops are expected to close. Up to this point, Pokemon Bank was still a service used to store and move Pokemon to and from games like Diamond/Pearl and Sun/Moon. While Pokemon Home has been the cloud service application for Pokemon storage on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices and their games, Pokemon Bank still operated for those playing the 3DS games, including Pokemon Sun, Pokemon Moon, Pokemon X, Pokemon Y, Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, and could be used to send Pokemon from those games to Pokemon Home. This announcement was made directly by The Pokemon Company in a press release soon after Nintendo revealed it would be shutting down 3DS and Wii U eShops in 2023. It will become a free service for an undetermined time afterwards. Having served as a hub for players on 3DS to store and retrieve their collected Pokemon across various games, The Pokemon Company addressed what would happen to it after the 3DS and Wii U eShop closures. With Nintendo making the sudden move to shut off eShops for both the 3DS and Wii U platforms in 2023, there are a lot of unanswered questions for what happens to that content and all of those games served up on Nintendo’s shop platforms, prominently of which is the fate of the Pokemon Bank.
