Now that Pokemon Home is here, the Pokemon Bank app has updated on 3DS. Version i.5 is available worldwide.

Nintendo mentions that, equally expected, Pokemon Bank was updated to accommodate the Pokemon Abode distribution. Additionally, the characteristic was added to move to Pokemon Habitation.

The long-awaited update to Pokemon Depository financial institution (and Poke Transporter) arrived terminal nighttime. Once it’due south been updated, it’ll be fully compatible with Pokemon Sunday/Moon.

Hither’southward something interesting most Pokemon Bank. If you bring over a Solrock to Pokemon Sun or Lunatone to Pokemon Moon, you can interact with a certain graphic symbol in the Haina Desert. Fans had dug upwardly the effect previously, only this is the start fourth dimension that it can exist encountered nether normal circumstances.

These are the steps needed to activate the scene:

Caput past the break for a video of the consequence in question.

While we still don’t take a concrete engagement across “late January” for the update that will implement Pokemon Bank compatibility with Pokemon Sun & Moon, we at least accept some news about the transfer process from the generation i Virtual Console games to Pokemon Banking concern. This comes to united states of america via Nintendo Hong Kong and Serebii.

One big question about this transfer process was how information technology would handle IVs, Natures and Abilities, since these didn’t exist (Natures & Abilities) or worked differently (IVs) in Pokemon Reddish, Blue and Yellow. It seems like, when transferring a generation 1 Pokemon to Pokemon Banking company, it will have 3 maxed out IVs and receive a random Nature and Power (out of the ones it tin can accept), with the possibility of it receiving its Hidden Ability. Transferred Pokemon will as well receive a special Game Boy mark on their summary page, to signal that they have been transferred from a generation 1 game.

A handy new feature is that you don’t need to transfer Pokemon to your games in gild to register them in the National Pokedex. If you lot have all of your diverse games connected to Pokemon Banking concern, the Depository financial institution will sync them all up and combine all the Pokemon you own across your games into one list. Yous can besides rails various in-game statistics directly via the Bank, such as the full number of eggs y’all have hatched.

Information technology volition too be possible to send Battle Points over again.
