How To Get All The Pokémon You Forgot About Out Of Pokémon Bank Before The Service Shuts Down

Pokémon Bank is shutting down. This helpful app, which has existed since 2014 (2013 in Japan), has served as both a storage facility for individuals catching way too many monsters across multiple games, and a way, the only way, to transfer Pokémon from older Pokémon games to the newer ones on Nintendo Switch systems, going all the way back to Ruby and Sapphire. Beginning February 25, 2027, all that’s going away, and there will be no way to bring Pokémon from the 3DS games and earlier onto the Switch. So you’d better get on top of that now, if it’s something you care about.
