Pokémon Bank: Sun & Moon Update Still Missing

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?

  1. Yeah seriously what the hell? I have them all in Omega Ruby and got everything ready for this update including three Zygarde for that cube to get perfect Zygarde and NOTHING

  2. Well I suppose in the mean time I should get all my pokemon ready. Its much harder to level pokemon up to level 100 in sun and moon, and it takes longer to EV train. I have 3 boxes of shinies that I suppose I should get ready.

    • are you using Poké Pelago ? because it takes a day or a bit more to max out a stat in 18 Pkm at a time. And you can also get 30.000 EXP in the same amount of time.
      So I think it’s an improvement for training: you can do other things meanwhile.

      • yeah I’m using poke pelago the only problem is my pokemon all need different spreads for their stats so I find myself putting like one in at a time, horde training was way faster and way easier imo

  3. Yeah….I really do wish they’d at least give us a date or a week to look for it. The fact that they said it was coming out this month and we are now into our final full week of the month is a bit daunting. Especially since the new Battle Spot season allows for Pokemon outside of the Alola region.You’d think that once the season started they would have wanted to at least announced when the new version of Bank was gonna come out if not release it that week in general. Hopefully it’ll come out before March this time lol

  4. Thank God( or Paul rather) ! A new article! But in regards to bank I just hope it’s not delayed and if it’s going to be in hope they at least give us a heads up.

  5. So decided to completely start my fan region with scratch so it’s more of general UK region with sub regions

    Basically the only things guaranteed from the old iteration are Neuthair, Aceris and Qalaryk, everything else is presumed scratch until it isn’t, and the old starters may come back as normal Pokémon but right now are replaced

  6. Yo new Fakémon starters and the regional bird

    Horse1 > Unicorn2 > Unicorn3
    (Grass > Grass/Fairy > Grass/Fairy)

    Inspiration: The unicorn is the national animal of Scotland. In my region, the sub-regions are based on the four elements, and Grass is super effective on the Scottish region’s water theme.

    Dragon1 > Dragon2 > Dragon3
    (Fire > Fire > Fire/Dragon)

    Inspiration: The red dragon is the national animal of Wales. In my region, the sub-regions are based on the four elements, and Fire is super effective on the Welsh region’s earth (Grass) theme.

    Cubble > Lion2 > Lion3
    (Water > Water > Water/Ghost)

    Inspiration: The lion is the national animal of England. In my region, the sub-regions are based on the four elements, and Water is super effective on the English region’s fire theme.

    There’s no Irish starter because there’s three starters in a game, as well as the fact that apparently Northern Ireland doesn’t have a national animal.

    Chirpin > Robin2 > Passerene
    (Normal/Flying > Fairy/Flying > Fairy/Flying)

    Inspiration: The European Robin (https://youtu.be/XTt5CaQXDD4) which numerous (inferior) birds are named after due to their own orange/red spots, despite not being in the same family as birds. Fairy is because sirens and song.

  7. Wow I’m actually running out of Fakemons….
    So this was one thing I was hoping to see in Alola but didn’t

    Montiki
    The Talisman Pkm
    Grass/Rock
    Chlorophyll/Solid Rock HA: Harvest
    A petite wooden bodied Chimpanzee Pokemon with moss and vines tied on its body, it has a wide toothy smile with half circle “anime” eyes and a large green rhombus shaped Jewel is embedded in their forehead
    “These Pokemon are said to be born from wooden carvings that were left in jungle ruins, they scour the treetops for ripe fruits and intruders who wander into their territory often get conked”

    And their evolved form
    Kongidol
    The Effigy Pkm
    Grass/Rock
    Chlorophyll/Solid Rock HA: Harvest
    A massive and muscular grey stone ape like Pokemon massive Boulder like arms with thick human hands and feet, they have a ring of green Crystals on their necks and one in their navel and forehead, they have a thick heavy brow.
    “They rarely venture out of their shine like caves, they command Montiki to bring food to it everyday as offerings, when enraged they effortlessly break down towering trees, some people say that the bigger the bounty given the more the land produces”

    They learn a signature attack called Juju Dust
    Juju Dust
    Grass
    Status 100% Acc
    5 PP Max
    The user exhales a cloud of strange dust that causes a random status effect

    (Paralysis, Poison, Badly Poisoned, Burn, Freeze, Confusion)

  8. For the record, I was wrong about Majora’s Mask. I said I hated it yesterday and now I love it. Turns out it gets a lot more fun the longer you play.

    • You guys talking about Zelda a lot recently, makes me wanna try out Majora’s mask again. Too bad I already need to finish like 4 games before I play anything else ;-;

    • I don’t really like time limits, but I actually don’t know if the one in MM is hard one. Does it hinder you in completing the game? Maybe I should try to play it again, but I was lost at what I first had to do lol.
