    Remember: If Pokémon Bank or Pokémon Transfer just sort of happen to appear on your 3Ds even though the eShop is closed, they will function normally and you can use them as intended. That is, if they just magically appeared on your home screen.

    • @PokeRedstone

      well the license to use them is free and in the us you have the right to modify game consoles. so there's no real reason to be this vague. i would personally only think peopel in japan would get fucked for this.

    When Pokémon Bank first came out I was so happy to transfer all of my Pokémon from my childhood so I could finally see them in 3D. All of first Pokémon from Leafgreen, all of my Pokémon from my second ever game Platinum, and all of my Pokémon from W/W2. Fast forward to 2016 I boot up my 3DS to revisit my childhood and I get a notification saying my Bank account was deleted. I was devastated, all of my childhood Pokémon gone. Needless to say I still have a sour taste when it comes to the Pokémon Company.

    I remember I managed to get a Totodile through the GTS after the crash. I was frantically breeding as many as I could trying to get shinys so I could get some rare pokemon off the GTS for them.
    If you had an otherwise unattainable starter or legendary while transfer was unavailable you could pretty much name your price on trades.

  • @AGZhark
    @AGZhark 12 часов назад +13

    It was such a ridiculous thing. Pokemon company loves exclusivity. What makes them think we have a Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, then a DSi and a 3DS to transfer all the way to the most recent title?
    Not to mention that it’s $5 a year. It was a big waste of time anyway. I had a Greninja, Staraptor, and Flygon from X and Y that I tried sending to Sword and Shield. Only Flygon made it.

    The worst thing that would happen on Bank is when I would spend 40+ minutes looking at summaries, designing my next team (I had so many teams), or just organizing my boxes and looking for Pokemon to release or wonder trade, the wifi would briefly disconnect and then all my progress wouldn't be saved, and the app didn't have the courtesy to tell me I was wasting my time by continuing to organize my boxes without taking notes on what moves I did!!

    It might have looked incompetent at the time, but I think that this Pokemon bank incident was a necessary lesson for Nintendo to learn.
    All you have to do is look at later incidents like Joker being added to the Smash Bros DLC lineup breaking the Nintendo servers, which only lasted a few hours in comparison and didn’t result in Nintendo having to unplug Joker and try again later.
