Pokémon Bank: Sun & Moon Update Still Missing

by

Fans of Pokémon Sun & Moon, which were released three months ago already, have been waiting to bring their favorite Pokémon to Alola… but Nintendo 3DS app Pokémon Bank necessary to do so is still not updated to support the titles. It was announced early on that players would get the ability to use Bank with Generation VII in January, but there hasn’t been any updates on progress from the Pokémon Company and there’s only a week left in the month.

Are you enjoying your newly caught Pokémon in the Alola region or are you hankering to bring over some old teammates to train and battle?

    Pokedex Entry: This timid Pokemon tends to avoid conflict whenever it is able to do so. It carries about a mirror which it will enter on various occasions.

If the mirror is to break, it will immediately die.

    Pokedex Entry: This pokemon guards its precious Mirror with its very own life. It polishes the mirror and checks it over for cracks constantly and is rather paranoid in nature. In the rare event that a human or Pokemon manages to harm or dirty the mirror in any way, it will go berserk and chase that being down nonstop until it enacts its revenge.

    Pokedex Entry: 232
    Symopposite
    Height: 6’03 (4’02)

    Classification: Two-Sided Pokemon
    Type: (Benevolent form Fairy) (Malevolent form Fairy/Dark)

    Benevolent Form: Magic Guard
    Malevolent Form: Relentless Night
    Stats:
    Benevolent Form:
    HP: 100
    Attack: 55

    Pokedex Entry: (Benevolent) Symopposite flies around with its mirror and tends to all it sees in need. By simply touching the mirror, it can pull many different things through it. In the case of this form, it can pull out comfort objects, medicines, or even essentials for health. Despite this , it has a form that is equally as terrifying as it normally is kind.
    Pokedex Entry: (Malevolent) Symopposite breaks its mirror and wears the pieces on its body as weapons. A shard is always attached to its arms to use like swords when in combat. It will hunt down anything that had brought it harm during its previous form and enact revenge, nearly cutting them to pieces. It is known for wearing a terrifying grin as it brutally onslaughts its foes. Despite its rather sadistic nature, it is said to have a nicer side.

  5. Guys for my Final form of my Embryo Pokémon is downright horrifying (I made its entry already)
    “Being born undeveloped lead to the mindset of a child; This Pokémon feared by many as it melts entire Trucks and Devours whole Mountains for Fun!” Note its only about 2 foot 7inches

    • My Champion is kinda tied to the story

      The Villian is Ilko, a very bitter man who competed for the title Champion of Eyanu but was humiliated, in his rage he vowed to have all of Eyanu on its knees forming Team Quake, who do these radical terrorist attacks in specific areas and stealing technology and Pokemon, his final goal is to resurrect an ancient and destructive Pokemon only known as Toxigeddon, and he swiftly dethroned Freya the Champion (who is a environmentalists and claims to have the blood of the ancient Eyanians)

      So until you beat and silence Ilko he is the Champion

      • And this is his Team

        Toxigeddon Poison/Ground lvl 60
        Dynoceros Bug/Ground lvl 58
        Quakylosaur Rock/Ground lvl 55
        Terrapotta Ground/Grass lvl 59
        Pharobra Ground/Dark 56

    One I have had as a partner since W2 came out was a very useful partner that really grew on me and its out of ordinary for my love of Speed to have slow Pokémon, but he balances well with having an arsenal of both Spec. And Phys. Attacks like Dizzy Punch, Psychic, Skill Swap, Recover, and ect. All and all making 8th, but we haven’t even dug too deep to see what lies even farther beneath my Top 10 favorites!

  14. I have a sentimental question for you what is your most treasured individual Pokémon? mine has alot of reason behind it

    Mines a Female Herdier
    Its a memorial to my Dog Sophie who died Black Friday November 28, 2014, and I found on that very day my first Lillipup it happened to be a girl I caught it, and named it Sophie to live on after her passing, then she evolved into Herdier and I gave her an Everstone to keep her like a regular dog forever. I keep her close and use her for training weaker Pokémon in battles. Now I must find my AS to get her back

    Now whats yours?

    • Hmmmmmmm aside from Rhyperior and Excadrill, there was this Linoone who I raised from a Egg, and I leveled it all the way to 56 in my pursuit of it learning Covet to steal heart scales

      Reply

    • That is such a heart warming story, especially that it was to honor your late dog.

      As for me, my most treasured Pokemon is actually one that’s stuck on my copy of Battle Revolution. It’s a funny story XD
      When I first played Pokemon, it was around the Gen 4 area that I really began to play. The first one that I ever beat was my Soulsilver copy, which I had a Meganium as a starter. The nickname I gave was “Grass King” lol. Anyway, Grass King had the weirdest move set ever:
      -Frenzy Plant
      -Aromatherapy
      -Strength
      -Cut
      Back then I was a noob, so don’t ask me why I had this move set lmao. But the reason why this is my most treasured Pokemon was because a year or two after I had got SoulSilver, I lost it sadly, along with my data of Grass King. I was so distraught because I lost the Pokemon I finally beat an Elite Four with, and all the handwork and data into it. And Grass King was the first true starter I ever had. We went through so much together, fighting Whitney, getting our asses handed by Clair and Koga, struggling against Lance, etc.
      Fast-foward to a few months ago, which was about October. When I was hanging out in the basement, I discovered the Wii and Battle Revolution, so I decided to hook up the Wii and play it. When I booted up the first profile, I checked up on everything and found a box of some Pokemon from my sibling’s HG and my SS. One of them was Grass King.
      Apparently, before I lost SS, I guess I transported my SS Pokemon from Pearl onto there, so Grass King’s data was saved. When I realized this, I was so happy, almost crying to see my old starter is still saved (in a way) and I might be able to get it back.

    • I have a box of pokemon the my Ex gave me, he went out of his way to get me several legendaries and some just normal pokemon, yeah sure it makes me sad to see them but a part of me is comforted by them and the memories we shared playing through so many games together, I don’t think I will ever get rid of them because until the day I leave this earth I will love him and I don’t really feel the need to get rid of them, because they are memories.

    • Mine is my umbreon from diamond which was the game that really renewed my interest in Pokemon. It’s been my most treasured pokemon ever since.

  18. I’m bored. Let’s begin speculating about Nintendo’s E3 2017!
    -Lots of Super Mario Odyssey gameplay (already confirmed)
    -Sales recap for the first 3 months of Switch
    -Xenoblade Chronicles 2 gameplay (no release date because of likely 2018 release).
    -Yes, it’s time: Animal Crossing Switch fully revealed for an early 2018 release. It has to happen.
    -Metroid teaser! But it won’t come until summer 2018.
    -Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch gets a huge presence with multiple new fighters, amiibo, the whole nine yards. Releases in September!
    -Pokemon Stars footage
    -Pikmin Switch reboot teaser for 2018. Also, new footage and full reveal of the 3DS game!
    -Brand-new IP for release in 2018. Switch will have 3 new IPs to support: Arms, Splatoon, and this one! (Maybe it could be Aonuma’s thief game?)
    -Third party support, including Rayman-Mario RPG.
    -Other random guesses: new Wario Land, Kid Icarus, Duck Hunt RPG, etc.

    • Going down the list:
      1. Yeah, likely to happen
      2. Seems realistic if they can get those numbers early enough.
      3. Hard to call since its slated right now for 2017. I can see it as a fall.holiday release however since 3D mario game’s don’t sell the best.
      4. Probably going to happen, but I’d more expect something about that animal crossing mobile if it’s not released sooner.
      5. Probably since Reggie teased it already.
      6. Likely that we’re getting a port, but I doubt we’d see any new characters coming to it. Simply it wouldn’t really be worth putting in new characters to an older game(given the amount of dev cost it takes to make characters) and would be better suited to holding them off until the next proper smash game(smash 5).
      7. 50% chance its real, 50% chance that its about as real as pokemon Z. 100% chance that it’ll probably be $60 USD, play very differently from most pokemon games and probably have a reasonably lower install base then Sun and Moon.
      8. Probably.
      9. Can’t really comment on it. Another new ip out of the game might be a tad overkill, but everyone has their own idea of what’s best for Nintendo.
      10. Probably 3rd party support, but honestly how much you wanna bet that this is yet another case of Chrom being playable in smash or their being a snowman pokemon and someone simply saw footage of Mario and assumed that it was a rayman game due to it having similar looking rabbits.
      11. Other then Kid Icarus, probably not likely. More likely would be another Warioware game since it could work well with the joycons, but that’s just a guess.

      Solid guesses over all, and its nice to see things that really can’t be on the system like Red dead, or Final Fantasy aren’t listed among third parties.

      • Wow, I appreciate all of your thoughts! I’m not very confident in a lot of my predictions, but for some reason, I really strongly believe that Smash for Switch will get a huge appearance at the show. I think it will be the game with the most booths as Nintendo tries to further integrate itself into the eSports scene. I see them pairing that with Super Mario Odyssey as their headline games this holiday season (maybe Pokemon as well, who knows?) I do predict they’re going to go a little heavy on the teasers (at least compared to their previous years, not in comparison to PS4/XB1) in order to get people excited about the future of their platform, on top of everything coming this year.
