Pokémon Bank

A quick reminder for players who might be wondering when Pokémon Bank for Pokémon Sun and Moon will be launched: the update will be available before the end of the month. In fact, the official website in Japan clearly indicates “late January” (this is nothing new, the wording is simply clearer than on the English website).

This update will allow you to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, but also Pokémon Red Version / Blue Version / Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console.
