With the discontinuation of the Nintendo eShop service for the Nintendo
3DS family of systems, the Pokémon
Bank service for Nintendo 3DS will become available at no cost to
users. You will still be able to transfer the Pokémon you’ve deposited in Pokémon
Bank to Pokémon
HOME even after the paid service is discontinued, and you’ll still be able
to bring Pokémon into Pokémon Bank from compatible titles. However, you’ll
need to be enrolled in a paid Pokémon HOME Premium Plan to do so.
In late March 2023, Pokémon Bank‘s paid passes will
no longer be offered for purchase, at which time Pokémon Bank and Poké
Transporter will no longer be available to download. On the same day, Trainers
will be able to start using Pokémon Bank at no cost. Be aware that there
will be no refunds for paid passes that have already been purchased.
There is no end date planned for this no-cost service. Any
further changes will be announced in advance on Pokemon.com and elsewhere.
