When the application is first started, the user must select a language. Pokémon Bank supports the nine languages that the [[Generation VII]] [[core series]] games support: Japanese, English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese. Afterward, the only way to change the language in Pokémon Bank is to delete the software and redownload it from the 3DS eShop (deleting Pokémon Bank's "extra data" from the 3DS Data Management menu is insufficient). Changing between kana and kanji in Japanese also requires a delete and redownload. Pokémon Bank does not support the 3DS's save data backup feature.

Pokémon Bank will then check for save files of 3DS core series games; if none exist, it will still give the player the option to perform a transfer to [[Pokémon HOME]] (but no other menu options, including Poké Transporter). If the player chose yes, it would prompt them to purchase a pass if they did not have one. (Virtual Console games do not count as compatible save files. Only a save file is needed; the save file does not need to have obtained the Pokédex yet.)
