  2. So, out of curiosity, does today’s info on Pokemon Bank also mention an update to PokeTransfer? Like will it be used to transfer gen 5 Pokemon to gen 6 and then Gen 1 and 6 Pokemon to gen 7?

  6. Gimme an Alola Eevee that has access to Dragon, Ground, Rock, Steel, and Ghost evos.

    Lol I know that won’t happen, but I thought it’d be funny to suggest.
