The Pokémon Bank update we’ve all been waiting for is finally available in the eShop!
This update adds the much anticipated compatibility with Pokémon Sun and Moon in Pokémon Bank, and the ability to send Pokémon from Pokémon Red, Blue, Green and Yellow Versions through Poké Transporter. Poké Transporter’s 1.1 patch requires 420 blocks, whereas you have to redownload Pokémon Bank entirely for 496 blocks.
In honor of the update, a Mewnium Z will be given as a gift to those who subscribe to Pokémon Bank. To receive it simply launch and use the new Pokémon Bank by October 2nd, 2017, and when you next play your Pokémon Sun or Moon games a new Wonder Card will appear in the Mystery Gift function. When used in game the Mewnium Z unlocks an exclusive Z-Move for Mew: Gensis Supernova!
The simplicity of only having a small amount of Pokemon at my disposal is really making me appreciate Pre-bank gen 7 lol. Now I have so many Pokemon to catalog and organize……For a second I thought some how I lost nearly a whole box of Shiny Pokemon. I found them, but it was a scare lol Now I only have to breed a Goodra and Ditto to get a Goomy and I’ll be able to get muh Shiny Charm finally once again. After that it should be more or less smooth sailing. Over the next year I’ll also continue to fill out my Living dex. That way when Stars comes out I won’t have to catch every god damn Pokemon ever again. From that point on I’ll only have to catch the brand new ones. Man that’s the dream…….hahaha
Now I deeply regret loosing my copy of Omega Ruby :’|
Oooookay time for bed. I sorted all of my Normal, Grass, Fire, Water, Electric, Bug, Rock and Ground types but I’m sleepy. Still gotta transfer from my DS Pokemon games and from Red version
*looks at Blue team*
Chlorophyll Venusaur with Solar Beam
Drought Ninetales
>:)
Just means you have to sacrifice mega evolving to keep the speed
And even then the sun will boost opposing fire moves
It’s still a good in game strat bro
Is the Mewnium once per game or one per bank?
I’ll find out shortly if I get a second one on my Moon…
I didnt get one on Sun and I already used both versions with Bank today
Can confirm, no second Mewnium.
I am deceased I wanted to start again and do a Rowlet run in a while
Technically couldn’t you give it to multiple mons and just trade one to another game?
Received 63 BP via Bank so picked up myself a Destiny Knot 😀
My Transporter was updated by Bank isn’t, it won’t let me use it with Sun and Moon, whats going on
You have to update Bank manually by going to Bank’s product page in the eshop. (Put “bank” as search string.)
I tried that
And… did it download successfully? Only reason I can see it doesn’t work.
Transporter is only for RBY and BW1/2, BTW.
There was no option, maybe my 3DS is just lagging or something I’ll try later

Yes I know what to do it just wasn’t letting me
Please tell me for Bank if you get the new Bank do all the Pokémon in the Bank have to be put back into your game then retransfer them into the bank
You can go ahead and download! All that trouble isn’t necessary, thankfully.
I’m gonna keep old bank just as a safety net JIC
Now we can answer the age old question, “Does a Pokemon that can evolve into an Alolan form that isn’t from Alola, evolve into it’s original form?”
For example, if I evolve a Pikachu from Gen 1, 3-6, in alola, will it be a regular Raichu or an Alolan Raichu?
I’m gonna guess, Alolan Raichu, as it will evolve in Alola. But could be surprised.
It would be so blaitently un-logical by all means of human conception
I mean unless Alola has some kinda radioactive atmosphere that causes evolution to go into hyper drive by all means non-Alola native Pokemon should evolve regularly in Alola,
Gameplay and story mechanics font always perfectly marry, it’s true for nearly any game e
Story got nothing on this
This is straight up biology
The biology is part of the story of Pokémon
T_T I’m just saying that if you bring the a Cubone from the Kanto Region and evolved it into a Marowak
Technically it should be a Ground type
Turns out, according to what other people have said, is that a Pikachu from outside of Alola still becomes Alolan Raichu in Alola, which, I agree is silly, but hey means if there is a Gen 4 remake an Alolan pikachu will become regular raichu there.
Now for the next question, does breeding a ground sandshrew with a ground sandshrew become a ground sandshrew by breeding, I’d say yes, but I’veh eard othrwise I dunno whats true or what isn’t
This is why I think Sun and Moon is their slip up point, just doing whatever for whatever reasons
My brother said I should apply to be Gamefreak’s lifeguard
[Cut away]
*In the boardroom meeting*
Hmmm maybe for next gen we should make Raichu have a psychic form
*agreeing clamor*
But how would that be, cross breeding, mutations?
Phhhhh naw we’ll just say pancakes and everyone will ignore it
*Blows whistle*
*Me sitting in a lifeguard tower*
“Alright then bring it in, too far out, too far *whistle blows*
Non-Alolans evolve into Alolans if only their final evolution is an Alolan
So Kantonian Raichu, Marowak and Exeggutor are transfer only
So I’m having some dilemmas
I am fighting the urge to transfer stuff to Sun out of some kinda mental hold, I did so much crap in X and that was my prime, I learned how to breed and EV train the right way and done so much freaking crap, I even have in game time say 999.59′ hours
But if I want to transfer my Earthen Warriors I gotta send my new ones to Oras for MT…. And even then I had issues transferring (because I really didn’t like Oras) but since now the player avatar is custom it kinda lightens the blow
Anyone else have a similar situation
Also before any of that hyper boost them to 100 (I still have like thousands of rare candy from miles)
Just level them and transfer
So I accidentally got locked out of bank?does anyone know how long a “short while” is?
9000+ BP probably gone?
Yes still there!

I would’ve been sooo pissed
Not sure who said Kommo-o is a poor Pseudo but a Modest Autotomize setup is actually pretty good imo.
Autotomize
Clanging Scales
Focus Blast
Flash Cannon
I transferred all my Ghosts so I can start IV breeding them. I still need to transfer my shinies and my first Charizard (from LG). 🙂
Strength Sap is bae
Too bad the only thing that can use it is frail slow and hella ugly, one super effective blow and its down or solid hit
Sorta like Rhyperior vs any water or grass type
I thought you said all Fairy types were cutesy
And I’m referring to in game so like all these problems are non existent lol
Cute is ugly
Difference being Shiinotic is intentionally unsettling whereas ‘cute is ugly’ is subjective
When did you start judging anything by beauty… I mean, have you seen Rhyperior…

Ewwww
It’s too strong for me
Guys what game do I play next
-White with Simisage as my ‘starter’
-Blue with Blastoise as my starter
-Sun with Decidueye with my starter (will only do this one if people recommend it enough becuase I want a break from SuMo, if this options picked ill so Bravely Default and then come back with it)
One vote for “Blue with Blastoise”
I vote for “White with Simisage”
Sun with Wimpod as your starter , I did it :3
Not an option :p
I made it work
White version but dump simisage. Use Lilligant or Whimsicott instead
Whats the best looking ball animation for Decidueye? I plan to breed new Rowlet’s
For me atleast, Dusk ball fits more
I’d say nearly every green ball (so mostly nest) would do fine, but dusk helps accentuate the fact its a ghost (which imo the design doesn’t do that well)
Isn’t it exclusive to Poké ball tho
Nest, Dusk, and one more I’m forgetting
Cherish would look awesome on it, but we can’t make mons inherit Cherish Ball…
Dusk, but how are you gonna get them into dusk balls (or any other balls) legally?
I think if you breed it with a pokemon that has a dusk ball there’s a chance the child can inherite either of the parents pokeballs.
Only if it’s the same Pokémon though
Oh I thought it worked as long as there on the same egg group
Breed it?
I don’t think so, only the same species can cause ball inheritance, if I’m right.
Pokedex at 89%! Shiny charm here I come!
Just a little more*, you can do it..!
* unless it’s all UBs, Tapus and Necrozma remaining, then it’ll take a while
It’s just sun UB’S and a few Alola and Alolan pokemon and base evo’s
I’m playing X and AS right now to import things I need for egg moves… I’m also training a Breloom in AS for use in SOS chaining in Sun.
Breloom is a fucking monster
*Conditional monster, if it has a weakness to whatever its fighting it goes from Breloom to soup
Spore Stab technician Bullet seed and Mach punch
which lets it get a turn or 3 for Swords Dance (granted i run Rock Tomb to help with its below average speed but it hasn’t failed me yet), and don’t forget if you sash it it pretty much guarantees the spore
Preloon is death for those unprepared
Not talking about comp where people will maximise their Breloom lol I was talking about in game
then why bother….living
Becuase the plan is to get a job and then get a husband and just have a generally good life
breloom is my second favourite fighting type

i’m back now.

really? i just wanted to put a picture of flapjack in a wooper suit.
Man…. I used to watch the hell out of this show when I was younger …… Good memories :3
yeah here too I actually liked this show, chowder, and hihipuffyamiyumi
Yea I loved flap jack. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh the good old days ?
Wooper is best Pokémon
When you just need to get your pre-bank Sun Pokémon back from your friend and then you’ve completed your live Dex so far
Earthbound’s soundtrack is so good ^.^
I’m in an Earthbound mood right now
Heard nothing but praise for it
Such an amazing game
Indeed it is, this song is stuck in my head:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h66gq40szjk
No one ever talks about how good the song when you name the characters is. It starts weird but gets so good
Yep, I also found it quite good ^^
Let’s have a little fun survey: If you need a Hidden Ability Pokemon, which of these would you rather do?
> Dexnav in a cave or on the water!
> Find one in a horde!
> SOS chain!
(Let’s assume the easiest ones don’t exist: Dexnav in grass or running around in Friend Safari…)
SOS Chain because knocking out one spare Pokémon is more desirable than knocking our four, and as well as this moving dexnav is so easy to screw up
Ive found the SOS chain to be the easiest and most reliable so I’ll go with that
For people Poketransporting from RBY, you can control the nature of your exported Pokemon based on the last two digits of the experience points.
Here’s a handy conversion table: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C2_tQ5QWEAE_5y5.jpg
That’s why all my legendaries had Hardy 😮
Planned out my Alpha Sapphire team. After I finish Paper Mario I’m going to start
Typhlosion (don’t like Blaziken much and I need a fire type)
Milotic
Roserade
Pikachu (Pop Star)
Aggron
Altaria
Always hate how you can’t transfer Pikachu on bank, it’d bug me so much because I’ve kept all my teams since bank
why can’t you put yellow version pikachu in there? is it because it likes the player character SO much that putting it in pokemon bank would make it sad or something
Actually… swap Aggron with Gallade. I’ve always used Gardevoir and I wanna try Gallade
*Roserade and Gallade in one team*
Instant approval
Wally
*Roserade, Gallade and Magnezone in one team*
Approval intensifies greatly
Also Roserade is rosebae
where are ya? i hope you’re not rushing
I’m right after obtaining the Flower area Star Spirit. I’m almost done and I’m loving every minute of it
Oooooo I thought you where up to the last area….ok
The boss is tricky
The final boss or the next boss? Isn’t it a snow area next?
did you fight Huff N Puff?
Yep
