Pokémon Bank Annual Service Cost Revealed


More info about the new Pokémon Bank downloadable app for the Nintendo 3DS was posted in the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y official website. This new service allows fans to store their Pokémon that they capture online.

This paid service will be free for the first month, if you download and use the app (which includes obtaining the free pass) by January 31, 2014. It will give you access to 100 storage boxes of your own, enabling you to store up to 3,000 Pokémon (30 Pokémon per box).


When you download the Pokémon Bank app, players can also download another app called Poké Transporter. This app allows players to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Black/White and Black 2/White 2 to Pokémon Bank, by inserting the cartridges of those respective games into your 3DS.

Because of this, once the Pokémon for those games are transferred to the Bank, they can never be transferred back to their previous games. In addition, the Transporter is an app that works together with the Bank. Furthermore, Pokémon created or modified via illegal means will not work in the two apps.

The Pokémon Bank and Pokémon Transporter app service will cost $4.99 per year and is intended to support long-term management and maintenance of the service. This service will launch in the U.S. this December 27th.
