Pokémon Bank Update & Mewnium Z Now Live!

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!

  1. So I’m kind of having an OCD overload right now…lol
    I recently installed a custom firmware for my New Nintendo 3DS so that I can use NTR, which if you guys don’t know, is a tool that lets you debug, stream your 3DS to a computer, and use cheats in games.
    I received Pokemon X the day it was released, and I transfered all of my beloved Pokemon from the original games (Pearl, Platinum, Diamond, BW B2W2, etc), and one day, I got in trouble and my Dad made me smash my 3DS because I disobeyed his rule of internet usage (pretty strict and unruly, I know, but it taught me a lesson to stop being so sneaky).
    I lost every pokemon, including my X version that was in the system when it got smashed. SO I was devestated. But soon after, my Dad bought me a new one right before I got Omega Ruby, and I got a digital version of X as well.
    Ever since then, I got about half-way through X and completely beat Omega Ruby. I transfered all my Pokemon from Omega Ruby before I used a Powersave and ruined the fun in that.
    I luckily don’t have a physical copy of X so I can’t cheat and ruin the fun in that, but now having NTR is very tempting.
    I made a plan today, after seeing the update for Bank, that I’m going to finish X and only catch gen 6 and gen 2 Pokemon, then I’m going to complete Omega Ruby and get all Gen 3 Pokemon, then I’m going to fully complete Red/Blue/Yellow and transfer them all so that I have a complete list of fully legitimate Pokemon and a full Pokedex!
    I recently used NTR on Moon but had a corrupted save error so I was forced to go back before I used the cheats. So now, I used a few cheats for items but after thinking it over….I’m going to remove those items. From then I’m going to catch the rest of gen 7 Pokemon and finally have a complete, legitimate version of Moon that is 100%.
    Thanks for listening to my story….lol.

      • It taught me a lesson, I’ll tell you that. But it also taught me to appreciate what I have so it’s all good. Now I’m not an immature kid who cries about a stupid game and if I lose everything again, I can be chill with it. I mean I was 15 and cried for 3 days about it.
        I mean what kind of 15 year old guy is gonna be popular and get all these girls if he cries about a materialistic game lmao
        I’m 17 now and I’m just fine.

    • What kind of f*cked up person makes someone smash an expensive piece of hardware? There is nothing in this world that makes me angrier, thats not how you solve a problem.

  2. Is the Mewnium Z distributed only to one of your games? Because it was in my Sun but not in Moon. What if I trade a mew with the mewnium attached to Moon? Will I have the item in moon then?

    • Indeed. Like, there’s got to be a second pair of games coming to the 3DS (either Sun/Moon sequels or DP remakes) and they’re saving them for those. That’s the only thing that explains this.

  3. After knowing how we can get the nature we want for the transfered pokémon from the VC RBY releases, I’m actually considering buying one of them.
    I’m thinking about buying Yellow (since it’s not monochromatic). One of the Pokémon I was considering using though is Vulpix, which is only obtainable in the Game Corner. But if I go with Blue, then Nidoran M will be more difficult to find.
    I’m still a bit hesitant in buying one of games though simply because they’re so outdated and really slow compared to the newest games, which will probably leave me frustrated as I play (I’m not very patient). I also don’t suffer from Nostalgia since I never actually played the Gen 1 games when they came out as a kid, so there’s not even that to motivate me.
    The biggest appeal to me, honestly, is just the fact that I would be able to train a few pokémon that will have their hidden ability after transfering (hence why I mentioned Vulpix and Nidoran M, as their hidden abilities are better), have a unique marker (allowing me to have weird stuff like a Gen 1 Politoed or Alolan Exeggutor after transfering and evolving), and also the fact they they will come from their native region.

  6. Today is #6 I know most of you will hate me for it

    6.) Dedenne

    Yep it’s Dedenne the cutest little fella out there he’s got access to for a Pikaclone a variety of moves including, but not limited to Play Rough, Thunderbolt, Aerial Ace, Dig, and more. It since it was revealed was loved by me knowing a mix of my fourth and fifth types and some cute features makes it a good team member. Also it was my 8th lvl.100 we now are getting to the Top 5 so hold on!

    Hint for 5:A Johto pokemon that is known for being pretty cliché for Johto Pokémon.

    • To change the nature to your desired one, go to Route 1 and battle Level 3 Pidgey/Rattata. (No Exp. All)

      Lv3 Rattata gives 24 exp, which makes the nature move up one row in the table;
      Lv3 Pidgey gives 23 exp, which makes the nature move up two rows in the table.
