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. | When the application is first started, the user must select a language.

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.) | 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).

Pokémon Bank allows {{player}}s to store up to 3,000 Pokémon from the games in an online cloud. This storage and user interface are similar to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] provided by [[PC]]s and has 100 Boxes capable of carrying 30 Pokémon each, named "Bank 1" through "Bank 100". Boxes can also be assigned to one of 10 groups with customizable names. The box and group names are set based on the language chosen when the player logs into Bank for the first time, and will not be renamed if the player changes their Bank language | Pokémon Bank allows {{player}}s to store up to 3,000 Pokémon from the games in an online cloud.

Pokémon Bank also features extensive search options and filters. | The player can move Pokémon between the game and Pokémon Bank, or rearrange the Pokémon they have in them.

* The only way to change the language in Pokémon Bank is to delete its save data. This also applies to changing between kana and kanji in Japanese. However, since Pokémon Bank does not support the 3DS's save data backup feature, and the 3DS does not provide a standalone way to delete the save data of a digital game/app, the only officially supported way to do this 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. | |||
** Since the save data of Pokémon Bank is stored on the 3DS's SD card, and the player only intends to remove the save data (rather than modify it), it is also possible to work around the above issue by inserting the SD card into a computer, navigating to <code>Nintendo 3DS/<32 characters>/<32 characters>/title/00040000/000c9b00/data/00000001.sav</code>, and manually replacing the file with 128 KiB of zeros.<!-- None of this involves hacking the 3DS. --> | |||
