USUM Pokémon Bank Support Coming + Release Goodies

It’s been announced that the latest Pokémon games for the Nintendo 3DS, Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, will be able to use the storage app Pokémon Bank at the end of November.

Currently you can import Pokémon from past games into your copy of Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon, but it requires having a copy of either Pokémon Sun or Moon from which you need to import them first. Depositing Pokémon will also become much more seamless, especially with new Ultra Beasts that are not compatible with the first Gen VII games. Pokémon Bank requires a yearly subscription of $4.99 to hold your Pokémon and may delete them if your subscription lapses. Please be careful when using.

For those who already have a copy of Ultra Sun or Ultra Moon, remember to download the event Rockruff via Mystery Gift! The little guy comes at level 10, holding a Focus Band, with the moves Tackle, Bite, Happy Hour, Thunder Fang/Fire Fang (Ultra Moon/Ultra Sun respectively), and is currently the only way to obtain Lycanroc Dusk Form in game. In addition, a special 3DS Theme featuring Dusk Mane/Dawn Wings Necrozma, accompanied by the main background theme for Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, is now available in the Theme Shop!

Happy USUM release! Excited to expand your Bank collection in the near future?

  1. So my game arrived at a facility in San Francisco half an hour ago…it’s been almost 24 hours since the last update. What the heck happened, and will they still get it here within 5 hours? Find out next time in the next exciting installment.

  3. The fact that the save button on the menu screen isn’t one of the main buttons is so weird! Interesting that they made it’s own little thing with a hot key.

  4. Went to the beach today with friends but it was still a rough day. Still won’t be able to play UM until Tomorrow. I want to just sleep until I have to leave for my flight but I have a lot to do before that time. Anyone else in the same boat in not being able to play the games yet? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0647223421a741a48d5448605e347689a01aefcf944440834b568f460a5ad839.png
    I have probably used this picture too many times since I have found it but it is quite fitting for both this site and today’s events.

  5. I’m about to fight Totem Wishiwashi
    Me: “I’m not afraid I’m not afraid I’m not afraid I’m not afraid”
    Gi-Effing-Gantic Araquanid hissing at me “OH FAAAAAAAK!!!!!!”

  6. Off topic but Delta episode is sooo under rated.
    Aside from the ultra cool mission in protecting Hoenn from a falling asteroid during which you battle a friggin Deoxys in space, you also see the renaissance of Team aqua under Matt (in AS), learn about the lore behind Hoenn,the Draconids, Mega evolution, significant past events as well as talk about the great war/ultimate weapon.
    You go back and forth around Hoenn, revisit team aquas base who aren’t dead.
    Many characters get development or more screen time in Steven, his dad, evil team, Wallace etc
    You have challenging battles in Wallace with his Emerald team IIRC, Zinnia and Deoxys.
    All this topped off with the meteor show in Mossdeep.
    And its as long as main game.
    Love it :]

  8. So at this point my steelbook is definitely coming tomorrow, which is a bit sad. Seems like other people have had this problem though for whatever reason, even though it DID ship yesterday like it’s supposed to. I’m actually not upset but I will still request some money back from Amazon…sorry, not sorry.

  9. My god the introduction to the Ultra Recon Squad is so goofy. It’s like they stick out like a sore thumb and then on top of it the dialog is so expositiony it’s almost hilarious hahaha. All that said I love their theme

    • I want to know what Soliera and Phycos dialogue is like! I know that Zossie is kind of fun loving and Dulse was serious but do the others have the same dynamic?
