Pokémon Bank allows [[Player character|player]]s to store up to 3000 Pokémon from the games in an online cloud. This storage is similar to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] provided by [[PC]]s and has 100 Boxes capable of carrying 30 Pokémon each. Boxes can also be assigned to one of 10 groups with customizable names. Pokémon Bank also features extensive search options and filters. Pokémon in Generation VI games can be transferred to the service individually or by group selection. | |||
[[ | ====Poké Transporter==== | ||
{{main|Poké Transporter}} | |||
Poké Transporter allows the transfer of Pokémon from [[Generation V]] games to Pokémon Bank and can be downloaded separately after Pokémon Bank has been downloaded. | |||
A 101st Box in Pokémon Bank is reserved for use by Poké Transporter. Within Pokémon Bank, this Box can only be withdrawn from. | |||
====Rewards==== | |||
The player receives 100 [[Poké Mile]]s when Pokémon are deposited for the first time into Pokémon Bank. Additional Poké Miles are awarded for the length of time that a given Pokémon is deposited into Pokémon Bank. The amount of Poké Miles earned by the player increases if more Pokémon are deposited into Pokémon Bank. | |||
Accumulated Poké Miles may be transferred to the currently selected game via [[Pokémon Link]] either directly as Poké Miles or as [[Battle Point]]s (at a rate of 1 Battle Point for every 10 Poké Miles). If the player chooses not to transfer their Poké Miles, they will simply continue to accumulate. | |||

Pokémon that are holding [[Berry|Berries]] or other [[item]]s cannot be deposited into Pokémon Bank. If the player attempts to deposit Pokémon that are holding Berries or other items, the items will be removed and sent to the player's Bag. If the Bag is full, the item will disappear. | |||

[[Cosplay Pikachu]], Black {{p|Kyurem}}, and White Kyurem cannot be deposited in Pokémon Bank. | |||
Pokémon Bank | ===Connectivity=== | ||
Any number of physical or digital copies of Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire can be used in conjunction with Pokémon Bank. Pokémon Bank can be utilized at any point after the player obtains the [[Pokédex]] in Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire. The service cannot be used if a new game has not been started. | |||
The Pokémon Bank account that a Nintendo 3DS system accesses depends on the system's [[Nintendo Network]] ID, which can only belong to one Nintendo 3DS system at a time. There is no way to transfer Pokémon directly between Pokémon Banks belonging to different Nintendo Network IDs. | |||
While Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire are region-locked and cannot be played if their region does not match the region of the Nintendo 3DS they are inserted in, Pokémon Bank is still able to communicate with these games regardless of their region. Nintendo does not make any guarantee for the performance of software or systems in the Nintendo 3DS family when used outside of their intended regions, however. | |||
When Pokémon Bank (along with Poké Transporter) is downloaded, any restrictions on the Nintendo 3DS system for Shopping Services need to be removed within the Parental Controls before Pokémon Bank can be utilized. Any restrictions set in place pertaining to usage of the Nintendo 3DS's Internet browser also require removal each time that the Pokémon Bank software is used. | |||
===Passes=== | |||
While downloading the Pokémon Bank application is free, usage of its services requires the purchase of a pass. A pass lasts for 365 days from purchase. If a previous pass has not expired when a new pass is purchased, the number of remaining days from the old pass is added to the new pass. Pokémon Bank will prompt the player to purchase a new pass when the current pass is within 14 days of expiring. | |||
After a pass expires, Pokémon in Pokémon Bank are preserved for a period of time, but eventually they will be lost entirely if a new pass is not purchased. It is possible to connect to Pokémon Bank and withdraw any stored Pokémon without purchasing a new pass. | |||

The Pokémon Bank (Japanese: ポケモンバンク Pokémon Bank) is a downloadable online application for the Nintendo 3DS that is available for the Nintendo eShop. It serves as a complement to Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, and the Pokémon Storage System.
Due to server expenses, use of the software requires the payment of an annual fee. This fee is ¥500 in Japan, $4.99 in the United States and Canada, £4.49 in the United Kingdom, €4.99 in Europe, $6.50 in Australia, $8.50 in New Zealand, ₩5000 in South Korea, $150 in Taiwan, $40 in Hong Kong and R$ 8.99 in Brazil. An Internet connection is required to download and use the service.
Usage
Pokémon storage
Pokémon Bank allows players to store up to 3000 Pokémon from the games in an online cloud. This storage is similar to the Pokémon Storage System provided by PCs and has 100 Boxes capable of carrying 30 Pokémon each. Boxes can also be assigned to one of 10 groups with customizable names. Pokémon Bank also features extensive search options and filters. Pokémon in Generation VI games can be transferred to the service individually or by group selection.
Poké Transporter
- Main article: Poké Transporter
Poké Transporter allows the transfer of Pokémon from Generation V games to Pokémon Bank and can be downloaded separately after Pokémon Bank has been downloaded.
A 101st Box in Pokémon Bank is reserved for use by Poké Transporter. Within Pokémon Bank, this Box can only be withdrawn from.
Rewards
The player receives 100 Poké Miles when Pokémon are deposited for the first time into Pokémon Bank. Additional Poké Miles are awarded for the length of time that a given Pokémon is deposited into Pokémon Bank. The amount of Poké Miles earned by the player increases if more Pokémon are deposited into Pokémon Bank.
Accumulated Poké Miles may be transferred to the currently selected game via Pokémon Link either directly as Poké Miles or as Battle Points (at a rate of 1 Battle Point for every 10 Poké Miles). If the player chooses not to transfer their Poké Miles, they will simply continue to accumulate.
Restrictions
Pokémon that are holding Berries or other items cannot be deposited into Pokémon Bank. If the player attempts to deposit Pokémon that are holding Berries or other items, the items will be removed and sent to the player's Bag. If the Bag is full, the item will disappear.
Pokémon that evolve via trading will not evolve when deposited in or withdrawn from Pokémon Bank.
Cosplay Pikachu, Black Kyurem, and White Kyurem cannot be deposited in Pokémon Bank.
Connectivity
Any number of physical or digital copies of Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire can be used in conjunction with Pokémon Bank. Pokémon Bank can be utilized at any point after the player obtains the Pokédex in Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire. The service cannot be used if a new game has not been started.
The Pokémon Bank account that a Nintendo 3DS system accesses depends on the system's Nintendo Network ID, which can only belong to one Nintendo 3DS system at a time. There is no way to transfer Pokémon directly between Pokémon Banks belonging to different Nintendo Network IDs.
While Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire are region-locked and cannot be played if their region does not match the region of the Nintendo 3DS they are inserted in, Pokémon Bank is still able to communicate with these games regardless of their region. Nintendo does not make any guarantee for the performance of software or systems in the Nintendo 3DS family when used outside of their intended regions, however.
When Pokémon Bank (along with Poké Transporter) is downloaded, any restrictions on the Nintendo 3DS system for Shopping Services need to be removed within the Parental Controls before Pokémon Bank can be utilized. Any restrictions set in place pertaining to usage of the Nintendo 3DS's Internet browser also require removal each time that the Pokémon Bank software is used.
Passes
While downloading the Pokémon Bank application is free, usage of its services requires the purchase of a pass. A pass lasts for 365 days from purchase. If a previous pass has not expired when a new pass is purchased, the number of remaining days from the old pass is added to the new pass. Pokémon Bank will prompt the player to purchase a new pass when the current pass is within 14 days of expiring.
After a pass expires, Pokémon in Pokémon Bank are preserved for a period of time, but eventually they will be lost entirely if a new pass is not purchased. It is possible to connect to Pokémon Bank and withdraw any stored Pokémon without purchasing a new pass.
Event Pokémon
Celebi
If the player accessed Pokémon Bank before September 30, 2014, they could receive a special event Celebi. This Celebi knew Hold Back, an event-exclusive move similar to False Swipe.

Server issues
On December 25, 2013, Pokémon Bank and the Poké Transporter were both released in Japan, South Korea, and other Asian territories. Due to high volumes of traffic throughout the Nintendo Network caused by a large volume of Nintendo Network IDs being created,[5] the Nintendo eShop was temporarily inaccessible.[6][7] When the Nintendo eShop was accessible again on December 29, 2013,[8] Pokémon Bank was removed from the Nintendo eShop (although players who had previously downloaded Pokémon Bank could still download Poké Transporter, which can only be downloaded through Pokémon Bank).[citation needed] In addition, the release of Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter for the Americas, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand—originally set to be December 27, 2013—was delayed due to the aforementioned issues.[9]
On January 21, 2014, Pokémon Bank was re-released in Japan, South Korea, and other Asian territories.[10]
The service was launched in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand on February 4, 2014. [11]
