On January 24, 2017, Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter received an update that allows players to transfer Pokémon from the Virtual Console releases of {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]] in Japanese) to Pokémon Bank. On November 19, 2017, it was updated again to be compatible with the Virtual Console releases of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, along with {{game|Crystal}}, which was released later. From Pokémon Bank, these Pokémon can then be moved to the [[Generation VII]] games (but not [[Generation VI]] games).<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/a-special-item-for-pokemon-bank-subscribers/ A Special Item for Pokémon Bank Subscribers]</ref> | On January 24, 2017, Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter received an update that allows players to transfer Pokémon from the Virtual Console releases of {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} ([[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]] in Japanese) to Pokémon Bank.

On February 16, 2022, due to the discontinuation of the Nintendo 3DS eShop on March 27, 2023, it was announced that Poké Transporter will become free to use on this date (though it will only be available to users who downloaded the application prior to the eShop discontinuation).<ref name="eshop-shutdown" /><ref name="bank-free"/> | On February 16, 2022, due to the discontinuation of the Nintendo 3DS eShop on March 27, 2023, it was announced that Poké Transporter will become free to use on this date (though it will only be available to users who downloaded the application prior to the eShop discontinuation).<ref name="eshop-shutdown" /><ref name="bank-free"/> Unlike Bank, Poké Transporter is not directly free to download; the user must have both a paid Bank pass and a 3DS core series game save file to access the option to download Poké Transporter. | ||
== | ==Usage== | ||
Unlike Bank, Poké Transporter always defaults to the 3DS system language (or English if the system language is Portuguese, Dutch, or Russian). The user may change the language at any time by pressing L from the title screen; this choice will be reverted once the app is closed. | |||
The software allows Pokémon to be sent from the [[Generation V]] [[core series]] games and the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} core series games to [[Pokémon Bank]]. The service allows one-way transfer; once transferred, they cannot be moved back to the Generation V or the Virtual Console Generations I and II games. | |||
Pokémon sent from the Generation V games can be withdrawn from Pokémon Bank in {{g|X and Y}}, {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{g|Sun and Moon}}, and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} (although they cannot be withdrawn in the [[Generation VI]] games once they have been withdrawn by the [[Generation VII]] games). Pokémon sent from the Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and Generation II games can be withdrawn from Pokémon Bank in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon only. | Pokémon sent from the Generation V games can be withdrawn from Pokémon Bank in {{g|X and Y}}, {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{g|Sun and Moon}}, and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} (although they cannot be withdrawn in the [[Generation VI]] games once they have been withdrawn by the [[Generation VII]] games).

Only the Pokémon from Box 1 can be transported (without the use of [[glitch]]es), and the entire [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] will be transported at once, limiting the transfer to up to 30 Pokémon at a time (20 from the international versions of the Generations I and II games); if any Pokémon in the Box are ineligible to be transported, they will simply remain in the Box while all eligible Pokémon in the Box are transported. The Pokémon transported to Pokémon Bank are placed in the Transport Box. A new transfer cannot be made if there are any Pokémon in the Transport Box. | Only the Pokémon from Box 1 can be transported (without the use of [[glitch]]es), and the entire [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] will be transported at once, limiting the transfer to up to 30 Pokémon at a time (20 from the international versions of the Generations I and II games); if any Pokémon in the Box are ineligible to be transported, they will simply remain in the Box while all eligible Pokémon in the Box are transported.

Since Pokémon cannot be moved out of the Transport Box into Pokémon Bank without a save file from a 3DS core series game, this can cause the Transport Box to become "clogged" and block further transfers if the player deletes their 3DS core series save file(s). | |||
