As a Pokémon enthusiast, I have always been fascinated by the various ways of collecting and transferring my Pokémon.
I have played a wide range of Pokémon games, with Pokémon X being my favorite, and collected many Pokémon, which I transfer to the Pokémon Bank.
This gives me the psyche to continue collecting as many Pokémon as I can. In this article, we will talk about the process of transferring Pokémon into the Pokémon bank.
I will also go further into details on what happens after Pokémon Bank stops working and whether Nintendo still supports Pokémon Bank.
Let’s delve into it! 😎
Can I still transfer to Pokémon Bank?
Yes. You can transfer your Pokémon to the Pokémon bank. This is only applicable to compatible Pokémon games such as Pokémon Moon, Sun, X, Y, Omega Ruby, Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon, and Alpha Sapphire.
This suitability makes it easier for you to transfer your Pokémon collection into your Pokémon bank.
However, to do so, you will need to have an active paid Pokémon Bank plan.

What happens after Pokémon Bank stops working?
Do not worry if your Pokémon bank stops working; your Pokémon will not be lost🥳 . You will be able to access your earlier-stored Pokémon after the bank issue is solved.
Furthermore, you can still use your Pokémon Home premium service to store and transfer your Pokémon.
Pokémon Home, just like Pokémon Bank, allows you to transfer your Pokémon to many games that are compatible with your Pokémon Bank or home service.
Is Nintendo still supporting Pokémon Bank?
The Nintendo 3DS system was shut down in late March last year. Therefore, you can no longer use it to download games or even use the Nintendo eShop card.
After its discontinuation, Nintendo nolonger supports Pokémon Bank.
This means that you cannot transfer your Pokémon on Nintendo 3Ds system to the Pokémon Bank like before.
However, this doesn’t mean that the Pokémon Bank is shutting down😁. Nintendo stated that Pokémon Bank will still continue to run its online services.
On the safer side, it is best that you use Pokémon Home to transfer your Pokémons.
