If anyone wants to complete challenges, but the final boss of Pokemon HOME, the 20-person room trade challenge, is giving you fear, the Discord in the description, in conjunction with my channel, have plans to do weekly trade room streams every Saturday at 3PM ET. Also, if you're looking to complete other challenges like Pulverizing Snorlax, the Discord is already prepared for tradebacks.

Bank isn’t shutting down. It’s remaining up and functional even though the general online functionality of 3DS is going away. They have not announced plans (yet) to shut down bank.

How will Bank work without online functionality?

[@aykrivwassup]

@I read somewhere that they're on different servers

[@crispyjokingtuna1495]

@Nintendo announcing the end of 3ds online servicies means that they are shutting down and probably reallocating the servers that were supporting 3ds online services. Pokémon bank will continue to function because they aren’t going to shut down those servers

[@mattvarley3462]

@ they specifically announced that online is shutting down for everything EXCEPT Bank and Transfer.

[@zau64]

It WILL happen eventually though. Probably sooner rather than later. So its still a good time to revisit the classics before you can't send things forward anymore. If they add all the GB and GBA titles to Switch Online (or whatever its successor will be) expect Bank to be shut down around the same time. Especially if they do a 5th gen remake considering they are doing a Legends game in 6th gen's setting.

[@doughboywhine]

Nintendo: how DARE you emulate games and online functionality we have abandoned! Also Nintendo: Get an event diancie and legendary from a game we only released over the e shop for a limited time

[@Mrperson0]

Here's to hoping that TPCi will keep Pokemon Bank running for as long as they can! If Nintendo can keep the Wii Shop servers running, there's no reason they can't do the same with Bank, especially since the $15 per year has Bank transfers baked in to the cost. In this case, after the 3DS online shutdown, no news for Bank will be good news.

[@mobious01]

Doubt it, there is no reason to keep the servers alive on a console (switch) that gives you access to almost all the mons already, switch is only missing like 27 mons and im sure those will be catchable in legends pizza so no need for bank anymore

[@tiramisuellie]

@@mobious01 the problem here is that this something about transferring pokémon, the ability to transfer pokemon between each generation is something that we always treat as a given, mostly because it has been a thing since gen 3, if not gen 2 if you count the ability to transfer from gen 1 to 2. It would suck to have this ability compromised, especially as lots of people like to bring Pokémon from their adventures to newer games to have more adventures with them

[@greengym2336]

You know what's crazy? I'd spend another 5 - 10 dollars to maintain Pokémon Bank so that i can transfer my old Pokémon but my theory is that Gamefreak/Pokémon Company is gearing up to add the old games to newer consoles by ways of remakes, Legends titles, and maybe even Nintendo Switch Online game service.

[@RiqMoran]

This SUCKS bc it retroactively makes the 3ds games significantly worse. I regularly use Bank to basically perform trades en masse across my savefiles. But this also severs the chain of succession that has been a staple of the series. This is Dexit but 100x worse.

[@mobious01]

To be fair switch games currently give you access 1k mons and i think only 30 mons are missing from the nat dex so in theory bank is no longer needed, specially with legends pizza releasing next year im sure by then you will be able to catch all the mons in one console

[@RiqMoran]

@@mobious01 in fairness, yeah its not the same issue. The similarity is in the breaking of tradition. The ability to carry progress across save files from different generations is an amazing thing which is now sadly compromised. Dexit is similar in this regard but it's more on a per species basis rather than a generational thing.

[@RiqMoran]

Personally, im at a point where i cant think of anything i would want to transfer up. But the biggest loss i can see here is USUM shiny legendaries. If you know you know. USUM is the best method for obtaining most shiny legends.

[@Arcanua]

Dexit was never bad to begin with, unless you're one of those toxic people who thinks others shouldn't be allowed a shiny charm for w/e reason it was GOOD that they did it. OR/AS is the hardest game to get that charm in, and I have one....and it took me TWO YEARS because I HATED gen 4 so I had to ask around online in various forums to borrow legendaries for their entries. Not letting every mon come forward in the newer games sucks a lot sure, but Dexit proper was NEVER a bad thing so can people PLEASE STOP pretending it was bad. It never ever was and saying it was is one of the stupidest things the pokemon community has done hands down. Not letting every mon forward was frankly to be expected too there's too many pokemon and the work it takes even to copy a skeleton in animation makes it a colossal time sink which Game Freak and Nintendo literally cannot afford to do. I'm livid about Scarlet and Violet missing ONE alolan mon especially after that whole intro "class" in one of the DLCs but I've genuinely had it with people complaining about Dexit and how it was "bad" I will gladly take an easier to get charm after the horror story of doing it in OR. This is NOTHING like Dexit either, is it bad? Absolutely but again this is ACTUALLY a bad thing and they really need to do something about it.

[@dsproductions19]

I'll never understand why Bank had to be online in the first place, and this is another reason. They should update Bank to either use the 3ds storage instead of a server, or use the Home dervers directly.

[@AzureFlute]

With Bank and Home being cloud-based they could go down at any minute. For this very reason I took up the challenge a few years back to completing an Origin Living Dex, which I had thankfully completed back before the launch of Scarlet and Violet. Just missing a Koraidon, Raging Bolt, and Gouging Fire to have caught up.

[@nasimahm3d]

would've been nice if they released a pokemon bank cartridge or something to keep it going offline but they won't...

[@Trixtoxia]

Learn to hack, scrub. All you need to install custom firmware on your 3DS to enable you to install Pokemon Bank downloaded from a website on the internet is a little SD card and a few minutes.

[@MRUNKNOWN-jv1fw]

That's a good idea like a cartridge or a small system that holds more then a million spaces . For example if you have a switch you could plug in a cord / something to transfer pokemon and eggs .from the switch to the system .

[@Akanisen049]

I kinda hope they do that. They've said that bank will keep going after the april online shut down (they're on different servers), but it will one day shut down so I hope they do release some alt way to transfer.

Funny that Sun&Moon was a re-ignition for the series in your eyes. In mine, it was a big sign that the series was slipping. While I loved the visuals way more than X&Y's, Sun&Moon was so on-rails and made the game so much easier that I felt that the game was playing itself sometimes.

this. i watched the vid for about a minute before going to look for myself. the first result was an official Nintendo website addressing the situation, and the first thing on the page (after the intro and ToC) was confirming that Bank and Transporter will not be shutting down with the discontinuation of online features, but may be still discontinued eventually. either way, good video for helping people get done what they need to before Home ACTUALLY shuts down

[@SaltedNeos]

Pokemon Bank is also the only way to register multiple shiny locked Pokemon into the shinydex of Pokemon Home, using the gen 7 game's QR scanner and a fan made QR pack. I get this probably doesn't fall into your personal 100% requirements, but for those who consider it, the other gen 5 Mythicals, Pokeball Vivillon, the gen 6 mythicals and Ash Greninja are only able to get their shiny entries using this method!

[@JmashTV]

I personally don’t care about a complete shiny dex but for people that do this is a GREAT point!

[@SaltedNeos]

@@JmashTV Theoretically the gen 7 legendaries/mythicals are also in this category, but unfortunately the game has a check on if those Pokemon are being scanned by a specific QR code type, so no one can generate working QRs for anything after Kommo-O in the dex with the encryption key that is known by the community. This is also stopping the Capped Pikachu from being accessible this way.

[@kingkmtso5107]

​@@SaltedNeosoddly if you have a shiny hat Pikachu from the USUM QR code and transfer it to SV it unlocks the shiny forms for the other ash hat Pikachus even though those ones aren't legitimately obtainable.

I still have all my ‘mons in Gen 7, but if Bank ever decides to shut down I’m going to have to figure out how to mod a 3DS, clone the save, and bring them forward while keeping copies in the past.

White and Black and their successors are DSi enhanced games. This means they work region free on a DS but are region locked when played on a 3DS or DSi. If your region does not match, the game will not show up on the home screen and will not work. A console with a “mod” that unlocks the region is required to actually play the games but using transporter seems to bypass the region lock for transferring Pokémon if you play them on a DS or region matched DSi/3DS

So, the "ultimate in " and "ultimate in sheen" aren't covered here since we do have BDSP But if you have access to the DS & 3DS I am slapping BDSP out of your hands, it's the most obnoxious way possible to get those things done. Berry breeding in BDSP takes forever, making Poffins takes forever, you have to micromanage stuff like Feel and Smoothness and proper natures because you only have a limited number of Poffins you can feed. It's all so annoying. They deserve a mention here, in this comment section For the contest stats, the easiest-though-still-time-consuming method is using ORAS. First off they severely lowered the grow time on everything so just go to the Berry Master garden, plant a bunch of the high-yield berries for like 2 days and you'll have enough to get all your dudes done but also a second set of them if you wanted. Then the act of making PokeBlock is instant. You just select your berries and it auto blends. notably, you can make Rainbow Pokeblock that affects all stats (just use 4 berries of different colors) and you randomly make Pokeblock+ that adds even more Next, this game doesn't have any cap on how much you can feed. So you jsut whip up a ton of Rainbow Pokeblock, feed it to your Pokemon of choice until they have everything maxed out. This is still time consuming in total, but significantly faster than the modern alternative. And you only need 10 Pokemon total for it since you can max out every stat. However, because there's no cap, that means these Pokemon don't max out their *sheen*. But the Gen 3 Pokeblock, Gen 4/BDSP (notably the only post-ORAS option for filling sheen) Poffin making minigames are slow and annoying (not to mention the sheer number of berries required)...however Platinum has you covered! If you go to the Veilstone Department store's new basement, you can just buy poffins. I think about 12 poffins will max out your sheen. As a bonus, if you don't want to deal with ORAS these poffins will guarantee max out 2 stats of your choosing. You will have to have more Pokemon however. The only offset is that they're only bought one at a time and are kind of expensive; you'll need to grind amulet coin VS Seeker rich people south of hearthome every so often. That said even if you do the second method entirely, you might want to take a pit stop to ORAS and max out the remaining contest stats on at least one Pokemon because there's the Twinkling Star Ribbon in BDSP (which has a challenge!) that you can only enter if you have the Contest Master ribbon and you only get THAT by winning all the other contests in either ORAS or BDSP with one specific Pokemon. Personally speaking I found the ORAS contests the easiest to deal with & I was already there for maxing out someone anyway. With maxed out stats you get SUCH a huge boost that so long as you have decent moves you'll win jsut about every time including the Lissia battle if you want to finish that sidequest; I only had to restart a contest once and only got close to losing one other time. Then you can just take that fella into BDSP and do the Twinkling Star contest. Thankfully you only need one of those! Also, I guess this video was in the making for a while because thanks to SV's Indigo Disk DLC you now have a modern option for getting Smeargle the moves! The safest way is to take your Kyurem have it so only knows the move, go find a ditto, have it transform into you then pivot to Smeargle and have it sketch it. You might need to fiddle with speed stats and items to make it align. ....also because this method exists, they added a handful of other moves to the move dex. Behemoth Bash, Behemoth Blade, Glacial Lance and Astral Barrage couldn't be obtain by anyone, but can now be grabbed by Smeargle so....hop to that!

[@JmashTV]

What’s the dns code you used for Pokémon black 2

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

I hope that Pokemon Bank will still continue to stick around for a longer time. I still need it to transfer Pokemon back and forth between my games whenever I start a new playthrough. Also, all of the legendary and mythical Pokemon that I acquired through events are still on one of my 3DS cartridges. I haven't transferred them to Pokemon Home yet because I'm not sure if I could even have them in any of the Switch games with their limited Pokedexes.

[@JmashTV]

I think we’ve got at least a year or two left with it, plenty of time!

[@AnarickTheDevil]

@@JmashTV Wasn't it like a month after they closed to eshop that they announced that they were ending the multiplayer servers for 3ds? Id bet they will wait about the same amount of time at least for the pokemon company to announce banks shut down.

[@lukasbiktjrn4822]

I can not believe you said that. Sun and moon killed my 20+ years of faithful love and devotion to pokemon. I sold everything concluding that the pokemon that i once love was gone. Univa had me going out. x/y and oras got me back but sun and moon killed my love. An extremely long tutorial was the cause. You left and joined the people who bullied people like me because pokemon was for kids. Not something to be proud of returning after that

[@JmashTV]

Oh jeez I’m sorry if anyone ever bullied you for your pokemon opinions that’s awful. Idk sun and moon just really did something for me I can’t really explain it. Just know that all opinions about pokemon are valid in their own way and don’t let anyone tell you different

[@TheSlipperyNUwUdle]

Possibly a dumb question but: can you still trade using local wifi connection? Or will there no longer be a way to trade between 3ds games at all?

[@antoniodanielsantos4511]

You can still use local wireless connection. No need to have internet to do it.

[@tiramisuellie]

local wireless can't shut down, the only way nintendo could do it is by heading to all 3ds owners houses and rip off their wireless cards from their consoles

[@JmashTV]

As everyone else said, you’re good to still do local trades no worries 👍🏻

What mod are you talking about for hat pikachus? Is there a DNS equivalent for gen 7?

[@CreezyM]

I won’t say how I know but using the MOD system you could use a “Checkpoint” to save the game before a major event like let’s say a legendary capture then by using the magical powers of time travel go back to the “Checkpoint” and capture the other legendary… also having a second DS is awesome to move all three starters to one game and have one big ol happy fire, water, and grass family.

[@vitaming582]

I went a step further with saving old mons. Took a cart dumper, and my original copy of Blue (was quite surprised to see the save still alive), copied the save file, did some tech wizardry so the VC version used my old save, and was able to transfer the mons.

[@nine_tails137]

Honestly, I knew this day would come eventually. I haven't touched Pokemon Bank in years, so my Pokemon are probably gone by now, but IIRC there wasn't really anything too important in my bank. So me loosing my Pokemon made me think "meh". Although this is probably because I've been feeling burnt out on new Pokemon nowadays.

[@suroguner]

Bank is a separate service from Nintendo network.

[@Chronoflation]

While you're at the Crystal challenges, might as well catch the Celebi in Ilex Forest too, since you're beating the game anyways

[@theprismaticsystem2833]

Ngl I have loved my og gba since I put in ips mod in it, just save, swap out the rechargeable AAs when it gives the low power light, and just go back to what I was playing is so nice, something I will miss when I start clearing back through the ds games for my living dex.

The release date you used for Diamond and Pearl was the Japanese release date. The US release was on April 22, 2007.

[@genericexcuse7803]

Coming from someone who's been playing since Silver its heart breaking watching them abandon their og games like this. I pray that the rumored pokemon works will port all old system games to the switch. Nothing beats Pt, Crystal, Emerald, & HGSS with their colors and sprites.

[@DyceFreak]

The word nostalgia is a learned formation of a Greek compound, consisting ofνόστος(nóstos), meaning "homecoming", a Homeric word, andἄλγος(álgos), meaning "sorrow" or "despair"

[@orlandogloom5409]

DyceFreak, you don't understand so maybe you should look up the definition of at least a few more words... Some older sprites or models or animations are just easy to fall in love with, in any case. Whether people like you like that or not... But sure, go ahead and try to look down on others, based on which pixels they like best, as that's how you obviously wanna roll to cover your own false view on things.

[@orlandogloom5409]

For the record, almost half of my fav pkmn look best in Black/White2 or older versions. While the back sprites aren't ideal, the coloring and certain other parts did add more character to certain mons. But I'll be forever stuck in Sun and Moon because that's what I picked as my main cartridge, long ago. Should've probably considered X/Y too but I always skipped those, mainly to progress further in my White2 back then, and in my gen7 ones afterwards - I don't play that often anyway, or at least didn't focus much on pokemon then.

[@MegaMilesprower]

Currently pokemon bank has no announcement on service ending. It's only online 3ds services for the rest of the 3ds library

I just had an idea, maybe because of the reception of shining pearl and brilliant diamond… they might be considering to be doing this… We already know legends z-a But what if they are doing a remake in the style of BDSP for black and white 1 But then also doing a remake in the style of sword/shield for Black and white 2 Basically releasing two remakes so that fans can decide which versions they want to get… And of course the hardcore fans will have to buy all 4 games to be completionist.

[@JmashTV]

I’ll take 8 copies immediately!

[@kryzethx]

12:43 You can actually use HeartGold and SoulSilver to transfer from gen 3 as well

[@MelatoninPC]

I have a moded 2ds and used ghost eshop to get crystal and red is it possible to trade with my main ds or use poke transfer

[@kryzethx]

18:05 Are you sure about that? The next game on the list appears to be a Kalos Legends game, with no other news about future Pokemon games. Could be straight to gen 10 afterwards, or another poorly done set of remakes, like BDSP, without a Platinum episode (or in this case, without a B2W2 to go with it). I'm still hoping for a Let's Go Johto games, in the same artstyle as Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, but that seems unlikely too

[@tangerineturtles9551]

[@tomcampbell9105]

I don’t normally comment however I recently bought a 3DS that already had pokemon bank downloaded on because I had a near complete national dex from ORAS and I wanted to transfer them up. I had NO idea that bank had so many challenges relating to older games. I was so shocked to see that my new 3DS had EVERY pokemon game pre-downloaded on it. And I mean every game from an obscure pokemon TCG game from like 1999 all the way up to ultra sun and moon. So I got some challenges to complete now since my DS also has poketransporter on it too

[@JmashTV]

That’s awesome! Good find

[@Angelite1209]

I strongly believe Nintendo will eventually bring back the old Gba, Ds and 3ds pokemon games for the Switch Digital Store to give players another chance to complete Home's challenges. It's sounds great, but it won't be the same because there are still ways for players to download Old Event Pokemon using the 3ds. I'm currently rushing trying to horde as much Events as i can before it shuts down.

[@ruelsilorio2221]

It's a pity that the old games like Pokemon leafgreen to Pokemon Ultra moon are no longer worth playing on the old console because it seems like you lose the desire to play if the pokebank disappears on 3ds because I know that the Pokebank is the only good way to complete the pokedex in Generation 8 and 9 and I hope they think first that the Nintendo company should not remove the pokebank.

[@adriangutierrez7686]

Your stories with the pokemon games really make me feel old and make me realize the age diffrence. Pokemon Gold and silver came out when I was about 11. Diamond and Pearl, for reference, when I was in my senior year of high shool. Platinum, HGSS and BW 1 and 2 all through my university. All of the DS era games are ones I played at the time of release, but the only ones I owned at the time was Pearl. The rest I got at a later time. For HGSS I had to pay premium in 2018, but at least it was precovid prices. All the other main games I managed to get at the time of release after gen 3 onwards. A new pokemon game coming out usually means buying a new console for me. Only consoles I had before the pokemon games came out was the GBA . Even the Switch I waited for sword and shield. DS I bought with D/P. 3DS with X/Y. Remembering pokemon games is like remembering the history of my life. Each gen I have memoried of what was going on in the world and in my life.

[@Janton17]

Really hoping that PL:ZA launches then a year later (2026) on the new Switch we get "Pokemon Classic" And can buy Gen 1-7 with built in Home compatibility.
