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.

Last-minute rush for Nintendo's closing eShops.

Pokemon players rush to download Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter before the Nintendo 3DS eShop shuts down on March 27. On the Pokemon subreddit, users are advised to pay the $5 subscription fee for Pokemon Bank to access Poke Transporter, as it is currently unknown if Transporter will be available for download after the shutdown. Some players have managed to download Transporter without paying the fee, but only if they previously had a Bank Pass or a free trial for Pokemon Bank. The Nintendo Switch requires the storage service Pokemon Home.
