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?

    • I ended up only paying 1.95 for all this lol can’t wait to get my pro controller in a few weeks! Now that just leaves an extra set of joy cons and Mario kart 8 for when my nieces come over. Not to mention I am getting hem USUM for Christmas lol

  1. So since I’m bored tonight and without my games, should I bide the time by opening the Pokeball New 2DS XL I have sitting around? I thought it would be a collector’s item but clearly it’s not, as it’s still available everywhere…

  2. So now with Pokémon USUM out what is everyone’s expectations/wishes for Pokémon switch? I think they will announce the titles in January to March personally and reveal some new Pokémon as well. Maybe the three starters. First official gameplay at e3 for sure. Heck they may hold the reveal off until e3 in all honesty. With a holiday 2018 release. For wishes I just want a dolphin Pokémon lol and a water starter platypus

    • They’re probably going to design it like a Colosseum game in terms of appearance and gameplay. I actually expect around 100 new Pokemon this time, because I just do 😛 For some reason, I visualize something like Persona 5 for visuals (but with the usual Pokemon childish flair). And I also think they’ll use HD Rumble for feeling attacks hitting your Pokemon!

      • I love all these ideas especially 100 new Pokémon lol and gamefreak better give me my dolphin O.o it’s been 7 gens how have they not done dolphin yet is beyond me. Especially with alola being Hawaii

      • I feel like they will split up the next two gens such that at the end of Gen 9 the last Pokémon in the deck is No. 999. Then Gen 10 will start with 1,000. It is because of this that I suspect that Regional variants will return in future games to compensate for the smaller amount of new Pokémon introduced in a new gen.

    • I have 3 theories, either:
      – Pokemon R/B: A reset of the franchise with a new revisited story that would make more sense and connect all the dots, and a simpler metagame. They will introduce new Pokémon, but you won’t have to collect all 800+.
      – Pokémon D/P remakes: Connecting Gen-4 dimensions concept with Sun and Moon ultra dimensions. I doubt this since they never released a remake on new consoles as first titles. They could come later though. They’ll introduce Sinnoh regional variants from Johto.
      – Pokemon Stars / Gen-8: A new generation. It would be the shortest generation launch games since they didn’t have much time to develop them, but they will be extended with DLCs / updates. Gyms will be back, since trials are something specific to Alola.

      If they announce something it would be February, March, May or for the E3 as latest…

      • I like all these ideas. The red and blue one the least personally. And I am personally think it’s gen 8. We will get gen 4 remakes later in gen 8 as well in my opinion

  3. Well I got dump trucked at the Battle Royale…
    I go in there bright eyed and apple cheeked thinking I’m gonna get a decent match but I was wrong I was horribly horribly wrong

    Mega Swampert and Pelipper and Staraptor…..it’s funny…..Jangmo-o has a fear of flying Pokemon and now I feel it is very much true because of the horrors it just endured

  4. Alright I’m officially done for the night, my body is extremely dehydrated (and my skin is super dry ;_;)

    Well gud knight evry1 *Ded*

  5. Well just started ultra sun and I can say alola is definitely more lively this time. Got wingull a flying around m and flowers everywhere lol hopefully this ends up being worth it

  6. Well i enjoyed the little I played of ultra sun. That said I am going to hold off on actually playing it for time being. I want to finish botw first at least. May play it after that.

  7. I haven’t had an issue with Pokemon games being delivered on release day since, well, ever. All the way back with Black 2 and White 2 (maybe even Black and White) I had at least one version at release. Oh well, it’ll surely be coming tomorrow. I’m just sad because I wasn’t around to enjoy it with you guys right away :/

    Reply
    • Yes, don’t be sad. Think about all people who never had a chance to play this games even though they want to so badly. Your game is one sleep away from you. I hope you enjoy it fully starting from tomorrow. I don’t think you fall behind from anything.

  8. So I just found the master sword in botw. Turns it I need a certain amount of hearts. Only have 7 right now. I guess I will get the final two beasts done than go do some shrines to get them.
