-When the application is first started, the user must select a language. Pokémon Bank supports the nine languages that the Pokémon core series supported in Generation VII: 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). Pokémon Bank does not support the 3DS's save data backup feature.

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). For Japanese, changing between kana and kanji 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, the app will not proceed (it will not give the option to purchase a pass or download [[Poké Transporter]]). Virtual Console games do not count toward this. Only a save file is needed (the save file does not need to have obtained the Pokédex yet).
+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 chooses yes, it will prompt them to purchase a pass if they do 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.)
-Afterward, purchasing a pass is necessary to get to the main menu, where Poké Transporter can be downloaded. (If the player has a pass but not a 3DS core series save file, the app 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 does have a save file, the app will prompt the player to purchase a pass (it will not mention HOME first). Afterward, the app will proceed to the main menu, where Poké Transporter can be downloaded (and a HOME transfer can be selected).
 To view or move the Pokémon inside Pokémon Bank (other than transferring to HOME), the player must have a save file of a 3DS core series game that has obtained the Pokédex.
