Nintendo's Changes: Free Pokémon Bank, eShop Closures, and More.
The Nintendo 3DS application, Pokemon Bank, is now free to use for an unknown period of time. The app was originally released in 2014 and was replaced by the paid service Pokemon Home on the Nintendo Switch in 2020. However, some users are reporting issues with the Poke Transporter app, which requires a pass from Pokemon Bank. It is unclear how long the free trial period will last.
