  • Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter were introduced shortly after the release of Pokémon X and Y to allow for transfer from previous generations into the then-current generation of games, but it was also a storage app like Pokémon Box, My Pokémon Ranch, and other similar software. Let's talk about it.
    Shout-out to ‪@SirToastyToes‬ for informing me of the uniqueness of the Bank Celebi!

    Before someone rushes to the comments: Bank isn't shutting down in April! But with the 3DS and WiiU online closing for everything else in April, it does raise a big question on Bank's and Transporter's futures, which is why I wanted to talk about this in a video.
    I hope enjoy the thoughts I had to share! I'm sure I'm not alone in reflecting on this. I apologize if the audio quality is a bit off on this one, there was a lot of background noise I tried to filter out but it left some audio artifacts. And this was the *second* recording, I had a first recording that was worse. ^^;

    The reason why you can't transfer pokemon back when you put them in gen 7 is because the IDs got longer in gen 7 so they wouldn't be the same if you could transfer them back to gen 6.

    • @orangeaurora
      @orangeaurora 5 месяцев назад +12

      yes and no. but also yes.
      basically, gen 7 IDs are able to be 6 characters long because now your secret id is only 4 characters long.
      that being said, ID numbers couldnt go past 65535 (because integer limits), but that limit WAS lifted in gen 7.
      they didnt get longer-- they got bigger. and also readjusted.
      while this WOULD mean roughly 1/3rd of all pokemon would have an invalid id if you shifted the last number in your normal id into the first slot of the secret id, they could have just patched that with a software update to the gen 6 games. but they didnt, so oh well.

    If anyone wants an alternative to Pokemon Bank to put stuff like their living dexes into, PKSM has the ability to do just that, and also lets you move Pokemon from gens 4-7 to any game they can be transferred to, and back. I highly recommend installing it if you have a system with Custom Firmware, as if/when Bank shutdown it'll be the only way to move Pokemon from the VC releases of gens 1-2, to the entirety of gens 4-7.

      @@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan Looking through it, apparently the Home Tracker issue isn't an issue if you deposit the Pokemon from Sword/Shield. For example, you use PKHeX to move an Incineroar from Gen 7 to Sword/Shield, it seems that you will be able to deposit it into Home. It's just depositing from Scarlet/Violet that has the Home tracker block apparently.
      Of course, this is not guaranteed to always work since TPCi can always update Pokemon Home to block that off. Same for people who imported illegitimate shiny Mews from Gen 1 or illegitimate English Faraway Island Mews from Gen 3.

    Something I want to mention is that any Pokemon you put in to Bank will have their dex entries and Pokemon themselves registered to Home even if you didn't put said Pokemon in to Home. I had a Victini transferred from Gen 5 to Gen 6 and when I went in to the national dex on Home, Victini's dex entry was there even though I left my Victini in XY. So this means our Bank's National Dex are connected with Home's National Dex.

I'd suggest acoustic harmonias video on the topic!
      Edit: The video is called how pokemon lost its magic, the. story of pokemon on the switch. It's a really great video, and he really goes in depth with how bad the service actually is! I'd say I'd you have a spare 40 minutes. It's definitely worth the watch!

      It can't connect locally to a Switch but there's a sort-of local Pokemon Bank that you can install if you're willing to mod your 3DS: PKSM. It can do two-way cross gen transfers from Generations 1 to 7 and it has near unlimited box space for living dex projects. (You can also backup your local PKSM bank to an external file if you want that guarantee that your progress won't disappear.)

    2- I do think there will be a solution, not one as optimized as a full Gen to Gen transfer, but they know their most loyal fans, like you and me who have multiple systems and games to trade amongst ourselves, are the ones who have memories of these games and our teams and experiences over time. I hope they know how much our living dex and teams mean to us and respect the time we dedicated to this series and it’s a new solution. Hoping Pokémon day might address this so we know how much longer we have

    My biggest hope is on Pokemon Day in a couple weeks, TPCi reveals a new device that will replace Pokemon Home. Ideally, it would accept DS and 3DS cartridges, and it would be able to connect to the wifi on its own to effectively replace Pokemon Bank.
    My second biggest hope is TPCi just keeps running Bank/Transporter for as long as they can. If Nintendo can keep the Wii Shop up all these years (for redownloads), I hope they would be able to do the same for Bank/Transporter.
    Unfortunately, I'm expecting them to announce an EoS for Pokemon Bank/Transporter, maybe sometime next year. Maybe they add the GB and GBA games to NSO, but we are still missing Gen 4 through 7 games. Overall, not looking forward to the end of these two apps if that ever comes since that is going to cause a huge cutoff of old Pokemon.
    11:19 "Originally, before Pokemon Crystal had come out, no Celebi could pass through."
    I'm pretty sure any Celebi could pass through, that's how I got one into my Living Dex for Gen 6. It's just that any *shiny* Celebi couldn't pass through because there was no way to get one in Gen 3-7.

      I know this will sound absolutely crazy, but what if they just did it like in the old days? If Nintendo is really concerned about multiple Switches (They shouldn't, most of us have 2, since buying a Switch Lite and another copy is cheaper in the long run than subscribing yearly) then they can release another Pokemon Ranch type "game". The ONLY reason TPC is doing this cloud crap is because they want to milk Pokemon. I'd gladly pay a one time price of 60 bucks for another Ranch, because I know there's no chance my Pokemon will get lost/stolen/corrupted, I'll have the ability to use it whenever I want, and most importantly, I'll actually OWN the thing I'm paying for.

    Glad you helped clear up that Poke Transporter & Bank will still be around for a little bit. I have most of the older games but there are so many and how busy life is, it's just impossible to get enough time to get all the mons transferred in time (It's a full time job!). I managed to buy Crystal on VC before it shutdown last year but I also wanted a copy of Silver too. I couldn't get around to it in time. I have a feeling come Pokemon Day next week they will announce the OG titles for the Online Shop for the Switch. But what about if you already bought it in VC? Will you have to purchase the same copies again? Also I always wondered if you sent Pokemon that evolved by trading through Bank will that make them evolve once they reach the newer games?
    In some of the older games I have shiny Entei, Raikou & Suicune from an event. I also managed to finally get Celebi from the Virtual Console Crystal Version. I want to get them moved to Home eventually but I still have much to do in the newer Gen games too. I can't remember what game the shiny beasts were even in. I also have Ruby & Sapphire the original GBA cartridges but I don't have a way to play them. I'm trying to find DS consoles that are not programmed in Japanese.
    Also the internal batteries for both games are dried out. I wonder if Nintendo will still fix this issue? It's just soooo much to keep track of and it gets more and more perplexing as each generation passes. I still haven't even gotten around to play Legends Arceus yet. Got the game sitting on my shelf still freshly wrapped in plastic as if I bought if yesterday and it's been over a year since purchase. All the consoles and services you need to complete all these things add up and is costly in the age of modern day inflation.

    If you're willing to mod your 3DS you can install PKSM which is basically a local Pokemon Bank/Poke Transporter for Generation 1 to 7. Unlike Pokemon Bank, it supports two-way cross gen transfer provided that the Pokemon, its abilities and moves are legal/exists for the generation it's going to.
    Admittedly, it's also a save editor which makes cheating in these games piss easy, but for the "Pokemon Bank-like" features that it provides I wouldn't mind looking over those dubious aspects of the tool.

      Yes, as I mentioned in the pinned comment, they will be supported beyond the closure for the WiiU and 3DS eShop
      However, because the servers are run by Nintendo, there will be a point in the not-so-distant future where they won't be supported anymore. That point could be months from now, a few years from now, we don't know

    Ah, the Pokémon Bank Celebi...I love it so much and still have it with me to this day, retaining its special event move: Hold Back. Before the Virtual Console Crystal Celebi was made available, the Bank Celebi was the only one at that point you could give a name to as it had your OT.
    The announcement of Bank's eventual closure was a huge wake-up call for me - since the announcement, I've been revisiting my old Pokémon games like LeafGreen and Platinum, completing any postgame activities I wanted to get done so I feel completely comfortable with transferring all the Pokémon from those games up to HOME where they're preserved for future generations to come. I knew the day was gonna come, but it's still really sad all the same. I'm gonna miss Brigette greeting me and gifting me stuff...they should bring her back in a future mainline game, spinoff or transfer app. If Pokémon Burnet, a character from a Generation 5 spinoff game, can appear in Alola, I don't see why Brigette can't be brought back in a similar way.

      @@AzureFlute Amen! But I doubt even a movement would be enough...they would rather bring back Cynthia for the 591st time than bring back someone more deserving.
      Anyway, as for what I've done so far in case you were curious: For LeafGreen, I've completed the Sevii Islands quest, caught Raikou and Mewtwo, then did the Elite Four rematch, all while using a team not involving my starter and the Legendary Birds as I had already transferred them long ago.
      Moving onto Platinum, I've transferred the Sevii/Kanto team there and trained up my Sinnoh team some more, completing the Stark Mountain quest. Doing some serious grinding as we speak, using a Lucky Egg I picked up along the way. I plan on trading my SoulSilver over to train them up since HGSS retained GSC's bad level curve, coupled with no easy, accessible way to grind lots of EXP very fast (that I know of). Once I've found the remaining Legendaries and beaten the Elite Four rematch, I'll do the same with SoulSilver. And I think that'll be it - there's practically nothing important to do with any other of my games.

The video games are the bedrock sales, and removing the methods of transfer to newer generations will destroy the franchise because long time players, the core of the base, will leave, and encourage potential newcomers to stay away and put their time and money towards something else.

    Let’s be real for a second, you probably would still be able to transfer Pokemon through those means, just skipping generations and all that, just through different softwares that are out there on the internet that you can download on your windows computer (Given they’re not viruses), and still be able to transfer Pokemon from gens 1 - 7. People are modding their 3DS’s to make that stuff happen anyways, and it’s like, you can transfer your Pokemon to Gen 9 games sure, but the issue is that the services they provide just let them sit there, and if you miss just ONE payment, you would have to restart your Pokemon journey ALL OVER AGAIN! I’m not upset over the fact that Nintendo and Game freak want to stop this shit, but at the same time, stop taking the shit away from us, otherwise, if we have to pirate shit that’s leagues better than what we got currently, then we’ll use those instead. I deadass would be okay with physically and digitally modding my 3DS until it meets my specifications, and having multiple 3DS’s on top of that, and if I get a switch again in the near future, then shit, at that point I got the money. But what I’ll always say is just, if it does end up happening, and you’re like me where you didn’t get those in the past, there’s always an alternative, don’t freak out.

    a wonderful wish for pokemon day which is coming up would be to give us gens 1 to 3 on the nso service which would solve some things for the older gens, plus allow us to truly take advantage of the pokemon stadium games as rental pokemon just arent the same and the originals that you worked with or glitched in lol, another thing is they so need a gen 5 remake now at this point as we got a gen 4 remake both past and present in a way, and it will suck that gens 6 and 7 are stuck still to the 3ds but im sure that once the next console comes those games will hopefully get remakes along side a possible gen 10 set of games, anyone else remember once upon a time where the goal was gotta catch em all and now with no national dex in the games you honestly just go for the core pokedex in game and forget about the now 1025 or 1026 total pokemon that are out there

      To this day I haven't really had a desire to play Stadium in NSO outside of the mini-games, just isn't the same without being able to use my own Pokémon from RBY. Stadium is like DLC expansions before DLC was a thing, for Gen 1/2 Pokémon games. I only have the Virtual Console versions right now but I've considered getting cartridge versions for the Gen 1 and 2 games and getting Stadium 1/2 to play through them again. One day!
