VexIsRed: /* Holon's Backstory */

OMG...this article does not meet the quality standards of myself. I'll clean it up later. -[[User:Politoed666|Politoed666]] 01:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
:On second thought, it's so horrible and irrelevent that it might as well be deleted. -[[User:Politoed666|Politoed]][[User talk:Politoed666|666]]
::Don't delete it. Someone who knows more about Holon and EX Delta-Species should fix it up though. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 03:11, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Couldn't Holon have some connection to Aldoran and the Tree of Origin?--[[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 14:29, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
:Unlikely, Anime isnt related much to TCG. ([[User:MathijsP|MathijsP]] 12:56, 5 June 2008 (UTC))
::True; I wrote that comment months ago though - it' under a different chain of ideas than my comment above it. Still, there are a lot of similarities, and the [[EX Legend Maker]] set, which introduced Holon, was deeply influenced by [[Pokémon 4Ever]] and [[Jirachi: Wishmaker]]. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 17:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Why aren't the Ranger game regions considered official? --[[User:LynnCreed|LynnCreed]] 15:57, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

== Official region? ==

''Holon is considered an offical region, unlike Fiore or Almia.''

What makes Holon to be considered more of an "official" region than Almia and Fiore just because its featured in the TCG? Both Ranger games actually communicate with the main-series games. I mean when has the TCG ever really been considered to be "that canon" that this statement can be made?

By the looks of things, Almia and Fiore are much more of an "official" region than Holon, and that statement just seems biased to me. Unless anyone is against it, I think that comment should be edited out.

--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 01:35, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

The [[Almia]] page even has a specific location to it relative to Sinnoh while the [[Fiore]] page notes that Sinnoh is hinted to be close to it in the Manaphy mission.
--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 01:44, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

It's also speculated that [[Orre]] is east of [[Almia]].
--[[User:InMooseWeTrust|InMooseWeTrust]] 13:15, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

== Holon's Backstory ==
Anyone have the backstory from Holon? It was in the press releases for the different Holon sets and might have even been in the boxes. Someone must have archived them... They ahd more details about Holon, not a lot but they'd definitely would add more to the article.--[[User:sdp|sdp]]

Holon Appears to be based on the philippines. Maughan Lake is accurate to a trace of the shore in the artwork for [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Latias_%CE%B4_(EX_Holon_Phantoms_11) Latias Holon Phantoms 11] [[File:https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/634744377264308234/634744832237109273/latias-delta-holon-phantoms-hp-11.png]] will continue looking --[[User:VexIsRed|VexIsRed]] ([[User talk:VexIsRed|talk]]) 13:33, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

{{bulbanews|game}}
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 {{wp|Nintendo eShop}}. It serves as a complement to the [[Pokémon Storage System]], and is compatible with [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

A companion application, [[Poké Transporter]], allows the player to transfer Pokémon from other core series games to Pokémon Bank; specifically, it can connect with the [[Generation V]] core series games as well as the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} core series games.

Pokémon Bank is a paid service. The annual charge is ¥500 in Japan, $4.99 in {{pmin|the United States}}, $6.99 plus tax in {{pmin|Canada}}, £4.49 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, €4.99 in the {{wp|Eurozone}}, $6.50 in {{pmin|Australia}}, $8.50 in {{pmin|New Zealand}}, ₩5000 in {{pmin|South Korea}}, $150 in {{pmin|Greater China|Taiwan}}, and $40 in {{pmin|Greater China|Hong Kong}}.

==Usage==
===Pokémon storage===
[[File:XY Prerelease Pokémon Bank box.png|thumb|Pokémon Bank being used in a copy of Pokémon X]]
Pokémon Bank allows {{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.

The user interface is similar to the user interface of the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in the core series games. The player can move Pokémon between the game and Pokémon Bank, or simply rearrange the Pokémon they have in them. The player cannot access the Pokémon in Pokémon Bank unless a game is connected to the system.

====Poké Transporter====
{{main|Poké Transporter}}
Poké Transporter allows the transfer of Pokémon from the [[Generation V]] core series games and the Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and II core series games to Pokémon Bank. It can be downloaded separately after Pokémon Bank has been downloaded.

The Transport Box, which is effectively the 101st Box, is reserved for use by Poké Transporter. Pokémon cannot be placed in it, except by Poké Transporter; the player can only move Pokémon out of the box, not into it.

====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.

====Restrictions====
{{incomplete|section|Any/all other incompatible moves or Pokemon? Including any that may only be restricted from being deposited in a given game}}
Pokémon that are holding any [[item]]s cannot be deposited into Pokémon Bank. If the player attempts to deposit Pokémon that are holding items, the items will be removed and sent to the player's [[Bag]]. If the Bag is full, the item will disappear.

[[:Category:Pokémon that evolve through trading|Pokémon that]] [[evolution|evolve]] via [[trade|trading]] will not evolve when deposited into or withdrawn from Pokémon Bank.

{{pkmn|Egg}}s, [[Cosplay Pikachu]], Black {{p|Kyurem}}, White Kyurem, Dusk Mane {{p|Necrozma}}, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and certain {{pkmn2|Totem}}-sized Pokémon introduced in {{2v2|Ultra Sun|Ultra Moon}} (specifically {{p|Togedemaru}}, {{p|Araquanid}}, {{p|Ribombee}}, and {{DL|Regional variant|Alola|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}}) cannot be deposited in Pokémon Bank.

Pokémon with moves that were introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] cannot be transferred to [[Pokémon X and Y]]. Likewise, Pokémon and moves introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] cannot be traded to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

Any Pokémon caught in or transferred to the Generation VII games, or that was transferred from a Generation I or II game, cannot be transferred to the Generation VI games. Such Pokémon are outlined in a white square when using a Generation VI game with Pokémon Bank.

===Connectivity===
Any number of physical or digital copies of Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon can be used in conjunction with Pokémon Bank. Pokémon Bank can be utilized at any point after the player obtains the [[Pokédex]] in those games. 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 the Generation VI and VII core series games 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. However, 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.

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 may or may not be preserved, and eventually will be lost entirely if a new pass is not purchased in time. If the stored Pokémon have not been lost yet, it is possible to connect to Pokémon Bank and withdraw them without purchasing a new pass.

Player reports have varied considerably as to how long Pokémon have been preserved after a pass expires. There exist reports that Pokémon have been kept for multiple years, as well as reports that Pokémon have been deleted after a few days or less<ref>https://www.resetera.com/threads/pokemon-home-announced-social-cloud-storage-and-transfer-service-for-pokemon-across-all-games-pogo-let%E2%80%99s-go-mainline-games.119561/page-4#post-21213944</ref>. It is conjectured that sweeps are done at arbitrary times to all accounts with expired passes at the time of the sweep.

===Pokédex===
Introduced in the version 1.3 update, Pokémon Bank features a [[National Pokédex]] that collects and consolidates information on Pokémon that have been registered as "seen" or "caught" in the Pokédexes of any Generation VI or VII core series game updated with Pokémon Bank. Users can view basic information and Pokédex entries from the Generation VI and VII core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered, with the exception of [[Cosplay Pikachu]].

This [[Pokédex]] also includes an extensive search filter that provides, among other options, the ability to search for Pokémon by their [[List of Pokémon by availability|availability]] in the Generation VI and VII core series games, as well as their appearances in various [[regional Pokédex]]es, including the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]], [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]], [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Good Old Hoenn]], [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh]], [[List of Pokémon by New Unova Pokédex number|Unova]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number#Central Kalos Pokédex|Central Kalos]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number#Coastal Kalos Pokédex|Coastal Kalos]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number#Mountain Kalos Pokédex|Mountain Kalos]], [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation VI)|Hoenn]], and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Sun and Moon)|Alola]] Pokédexes.

== Official Pokémon website's FAQ page of Pokémon Bank ==

For others who want to improve the article, the link to the FAQ for Pokémon Bank is here, where you can also navigate to other pages that cover Pokémon Bank's functionality, etc.:
* '''[http://www.pokemonbank.com/en-us/faq/ Pokémon Bank FAQ page]'''

== Held items/Berries disappearing when Bag is "full" ==

The [http://www.pokemonbank.com/en-us/faq/ Pokémon Bank FAQ] mentions that held items/Berries will be sent to your [[Bag]] when the player is depositing Pokémon into Pokémon Bank, and that items will disappear if the Bag is "full". I thought that post-[[Generation 3]] games had unlimited Bag space, so I'm wondering is this statement referring to when you have the maximum amount of a single item (like reaching the cap of 999 Rare Candies in the Rare Candy's particular item slot)? [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 18:56, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is just referring to the 999 maximum. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:49, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

== Incorrect categorization link. ==

''Read'': [Category:Pokémon that evolve through trading|Pokémon that] [[evolve]] via [[trading]] will not evolve if sent to Pokémon Bank.

''(There are supposed to be two brackets "[[]]" in the sentence, but I'm not sure of what you type to make wikicode/markup appear as text rather than executing itself/how you nullify wikicode from executing...)''
I was trying to format the link to the category of "Pokémon that evolve through trading" so that it appears as an internal Bulbapedia link rather than an external link, but for some reason, the method in which I typed the sentence categorizes the Pokémon Bank article ''itself'' in that category rather than just "internally linking to that category within the sentence" (the latter being what I intended). It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help to format this sentence properly (and in the worst-case scenario, I'll just settle for the link appearing as an external link). Thanks in advance. [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 19:05, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
:Fixed it. If you want to link to a category rather than add it, you put a colon at the beginning of the link. In this case, it is <nowiki>[[:Category:Pokémon that evolve through trading]]</nowiki>. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 19:15, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
::'''''One''''' little colon? Are you ''kidding'' me? XD Wow...that could have saved me all that trial-and-error I was doing earlier trying to fix the problem.. But this feature is good to know; thank you very much for fixing it, and I'll keep your tip for future reference. :) [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 00:00, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

== Comparison of Fees ==

Just for the heck of it (and if someone decided to add this into an actual section), here is a comparison of the fees relative to USD (as of December 15th, 2013):

* JP¥500 = US$4.85
* GB£4.99 = US$8.13
* EU€4,49 = US$6.17
* AU$6.50 = US$5.83
* NZ$8.50 = US$7.03
* KR₩5000 = US$4.75

I'm kinda surprised that the fees vary so much... -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 23:00, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
:I think this should be included in the article, at least in a "x-pays the least, x-pays the most" capacity. Not just because I'm outraged about the UK having to pay the most despite being in a state of economic decline or anything, I swear. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 17:08, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
::Yeah, the EU and UK prices were mixed up, with £4.49 being $7.29 right now and €4.99 being $6.85. The UK price is still the highest, of course. - [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [[User Talk:Blazios|talk]] 17:38, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

== Pokémon Bank Being Delayed and Deleted From the Nintendo eShop ==

So I've heard that in the U.S.A and all of the other places where it hasn't been released Pokémon Bank is being delayed, and deleted from the Nintendo eShop in places where it has been released due to hacked Pokemon being able to be transferred over. Should we put this down/mention this? [[User:AwesomeGrovyle|AwesomeGrovyle]] ([[User talk:AwesomeGrovyle|talk]]) 02:56, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

Probably due to high traffics, but yes you may! [[User:TheShinyMew|'''~☆I'm TheShinyMew!☆~''']] 06:54, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
:The delay is worth mentioning, but it's speculation to say it's because of hacked Pokemon. All Nintendo has said is that it's "[http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2393/p/430 due to a large volume of traffic]". [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:56, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
::They said a bit more on the NoA Twitter account. Basically, the eShop and the NN Ids are the main problem for most, if not all, of the network. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 07:27, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
:::Sometime around 10 p.m I learned it was actually due to traffic jams. [[User:AwesomeGrovyle|AwesomeGrovyle]] ([[User talk:AwesomeGrovyle|talk]]) 18:27, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

== Subscription prices ==

The article has the subscription prices and according to the eShop it costs "R$8.99" (Brazil) and "$61.99 MXN" (Mexican Pesos). Should this be added to the article for completeness sake or not?
{{unsigned|Dude22072}}

== "Initial Launch" ==

The infobox currently says "initial launch" on December 27/28 for Europe and Oceania. This is implying that it was ever even launched, when it was pulled before it even got the chance. Previously it said "planned launch" which is the accurate phrase to use here. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 16:18,2/4/2014 (UTC)

== Hacked or not? ==

What exactly does Pokémon Bank observe in every attempted-to-transfer pokemon before deciding if it's hacked or not? Some of the pokemon I want to transfer (all legit-obtained) were edited by Pokesav (natures and moves only) & I fear I'll get permanently banned from the app. [[User:DuelKING|DuelKING]] ([[User talk:DuelKING|talk]]) 20:29, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
:Illegally created via external methods or modified by external methods. You will get banned for transferring those. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 21:15, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
::I've noticed that in a box with 30 Pokémon, if say six of the Pokémon was hacked then it will simply give you a message saying they can't be transferred and leave them on the game while all other Pokémon are transferred into the bank. If hacked to get lots of Rare Candies and used them to level up Pokémon to whatever level, it does not appear to have a problem with trading them up.
::I have not yet suffered a ban to the software for attempting to upload them.--[[User:Ditto51|Ditto51/Tom]] ([[User_Talk:Ditto51|My Talk Page]]) 08:01, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:::Thank goodness. I was hoping that was the case. It'd be silly if people could get banned just because someone traded them a hacked Pokemon and they didn't know it when they tried to upload it. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 13:46, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
::::Not sure how it would act going from X or Y to the bank though, that was from White 2 and White. So how it works from going up to the bank from X or Y I do not know.--[[User:Ditto51|Ditto51/Tom]] ([[User_Talk:Ditto51|My Talk Page]]) 14:08, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:Personally, I tried to transfer alot of Pokémon from [[ROM_hacks#Pokémon Blaze Black and Volt White|Blaze Black]] (after trading them to a legitimate White cartridge). The majority of them were not accepted. Like Ditto51 said, there's nothing close to a "ban" happening from such an act. If I tried to transfer a box of 30 Pokémon and only {{tt|two|numbers used for the sake of an example}} of them could actually be moved by passing whatever check is in place, the Transporter would in turn give me a note saying "at least one of the Pokémon could not be moved", and that they will be left behind. As a result, the two that passed will be moved, and the other 28 will be left in my Box 1 from Generation 5, and no further consequence happens. As far as ''what'' the check entails, I do not know. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9_Transporter?diff=2069775&oldid=2069487 Someone] seems to have attempted to find out, but I don't know how much of those findings are correct. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 16:30,2/6/2014 (UTC)
"Solar Dragon", are you saying pokemon legitimately-obtained, then modified/edited are considered "hacked?" If what you say is true, this may cause a big, unfair problem for everyone. Edited, seemingly-legit pokemon can be deposited into the GTS, correct? And there's no way to tell if they're modified or not (or is there?). One could get banned for something that isn't his/her fault. [[User:DuelKING|DuelKING]] ([[User talk:DuelKING|talk]]) 20:41, 6 February 2014 (UTC)DuelKING[[User:DuelKING|DuelKING]] ([[User talk:DuelKING|talk]]) 20:41, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:DuelKING, while we are not sure quite what the Transporter uses to determine if a Pokémon is valid or not, there are two things that we can say for certain. First, the GTS seems to be more lax. Just because something fails the Transporter's test doesn't mean it won't appear on the GTS. Second, there is ''no ban'' involved. If you had read what both myself and Ditto51 wrote, we have both confirmed that if a Pokémon fails the Transporter's tests, it will stay in the Gen V game. It will not disappear, and the player will not be penalzed n any way other than that the Pokémon cannot be sent to their Gen VI game. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 21:08,2/6/2014 (UTC)
::Pokémon that were legitimately caught then edited will be considered hacked, yes. However, there is no ban as the others have said. I don't know why I said there was a ban, I wasn't thinking fully when I posted. I would guess that it checks moves and stats to see if they are legit and if not, it doesn't let you transfer. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 21:21, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:From what I can gather, it checks things like moveset and caught location, but the talk page for the transporter might be a better place to hold this topic. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 21:36,2/6/2014 (UTC)

::::By pure coincidence, a classmate of mine used the DNS method to get an Arceus from the GTS into a Gen V game, and he was able to transport it to Gen VI and trade it to me without trouble, meaning it was created to pass the test, and my game (nor his) is in no way corrupted nor am I prevented from using the Bank. Just as well, I was able to put the Arceus in the Bank, save, and take it out with no trouble at all.

== Like Box and Ranch? ==

Since the official site says it works for multiple games and since it's not registered in the player's ID, but rather the Nintendo Network ID. Does that mean that someone can store Pokémon, start a new game and retrieve all of the stored, or will they be locked forever like Box and Ranch?

How notable to put on the article is that, if it is true?--[[User:Igor Castro Chucre|Igor ]] ([[User talk:Igor Castro Chucre|talk]]) 18:55, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes, you can transfer your entire PC up to the bank, restart your game, and pop your Pokémon back in your new game after having received the Pokédex. Might be some obedience issues at first... [[User:CraftyWeavile|CraftyWeavile]] ([[User talk:CraftyWeavile|talk]]) 05:55, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

== Pokémon Bank Bug? ==

Okay, so I was transferring Pokémon yesterday to complete my Pokédex, and some of them are hacked because I kept missing their events (i.e. Hacking the Member Card to get {{p|Darkrai}}, etc.). What's odd is my Wish Maker {{p|Jirachi}} and my {{p|Manaphy}}, both I hacked to get, went through just fine. But when I tried to transfer my {{p|Shaymin}} and Darkrai, both I caught with the use of the Member Card and Oak's Letter, it said they couldn't get through because they were hacked. Can anyone explain why this oddity happened because I am really confused by it. [[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] ([[User talk:Pokedex493|talk]]) 04:24, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
:The hack check that the Transporter uses doesn't seem to actually check if the Pokémon was ''created'' by a hack, but more specific properties, most notably seems to be the location that they were caught. So, if a hacked Pokémon is given an original location that is legitimate for that Pokémon it has a chance of passing the check regardless of being hacked, where an {{p|Arceus}} with a caught location of {{rt|201|Sinnoh|Sinnoh Route 201}} would more than likely fail. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 04:55,2/7/2014 (UTC)
::See that's just the thing. I caught Shaymin in [[Flower Paradise]] and Darkrai in [[Newmoon Island]] respectively, but they still couldn't get through.

:::I doubt it's the date. My friend has been transporting some of my RNGed Pokemon and none of them have correct dates.

::::It's not really a surprise if an illegitimate Pokemon passes. It would be almost impossible for the hack-check to be completely foolproof. You can't actually check if something was created by hacking, really, because most hacking tools wouldn't want to leave such an indication. You can only check for oddities.
::::As for the two you express surprise about, Darkrai and Shaymin...you say you hacked the Member's Card (I would assume you did the same for Oak's Letter). It's possible that Pokemon Bank is able to recognize that your game never acquired a Member's Card through legitimate means. Or maybe the game knew from the get-go and actually marked those Pokemon specially. (If the former (if it's just Bank putting two and two together), then they might go through if you traded them to a perfectly clean game. I stress that this is just a guess, though.)

::::::If you hacked the Member Card/Oak's Letter to get them in Platinum, they should pass through fine. If you did so in DP, it is completely understandable that the game noticed. Firstly, there is a game of origin flag anyway, so Transporter could just check for that (note that that is what transfers Pokémon, not Bank, so this discussion would be more suited to that page anyway). However, more importantly, Darkrai/Shaymin caught in DP do not have the [[fateful encounter]] flag, whereas those caught in Platinum do; Transporter is probably just checking to see if they are FE, and since DP ones aren't, it is rejecting them. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:13, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

== Trading?? ==

Does anyone know if depositing a pokemon in the bank resets its friendship, as trading does? Because I deposited a level 5 cleffa from one game and withdrew it in another, and without being in a luxury ball, holding a soothe bell, or otherwise giving it any happiness-boosting items, it evolved at level 16. I did use poke-amie a bit, but not *nearly* enough to explain how a traded pokemon--which, according to Bulbapedia, should have been reset to 70 friendship--could have gotten to over 220 friendship in 11 levels. It's only *barely* feasible if we assume that she started at 140. (Even then, I'm not sure how that happened; I'm *guessing* the poke-amie helped--maybe affection hearts increase the rate at which happiness increases? She only had two, though.){{unsigned|Harumei}}
:Relatedly, did it keep Amie? [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 23:00, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

== Pokemon Eggs and Bank ==

There seems to be some conflicting information out on the 'Net about whether you can store [[Pokémon egg]]s in Bank. You can't -- at least not according to my experience you can't ([http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/attachments/f323/93293d1394258479-pok%C3%A9mon-bank-pok%C3%A9transporter-thread-pokemon-bank-no-eggs.jpg screenshot]). Can anyone confirm? --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 06:07, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
:You can't. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:43, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

== Official trailer is private ==

The official trailer is private and can't be viewed, oddly. Should it be removed?--[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 00:42, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
:Odd. The only Pokémon Bank video is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erq4R41AmVU this video] on the YouTube channel. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:18, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

== Held Items, Mega Stones, and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire ==

The Pokémon Bank says it will send held items to the bag if a Pokémon you deposit is holding an item. How will people bring Mega Stones from Pokémon X and Y into Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire if the bank won't take the items? Will people be able to transfer Pokémon with Mega Stones to the new games through trading, or is it possible Pokémon Bank will update to where it CAN accept held items? --[[User:Duel Monster|Duel Monster]] ([[User talk:Duel Monster|talk]]) 01:19, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
:Given XY and ORAS are within the same Generation, I have no doubt you'll be able to trade between games without having to use Bank or any other means of transfer besides Trading.

== Compatibility chart ==

I've been thinking that instead of expanding the lead every time a new game comes out, we should just have a little chart that shows what games are compatible with the software. I made it up on my [[User:HoennMaster/Sandbox|sandbox page]], but wanted to see what other people thought about including it. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 02:09, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

== Mewnium Z ==

Since it's being distributed through Pokebank, should it be added under Event Pokemon or be given its own subpage? Also, what template should be used for Mewnium Z? {{unsigned|Terezi}}

== Pokedex function ==

Could someone please update the page with Pokémon Bank's Pokédex function? I'd do it myself, but I don't have all the details on how it works. [[User:PartHunter|PartHunter]] ([[User talk:PartHunter|talk]]) 09:58, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

== Navigational table ==

Does anyone know how to edit navigation tables that appear on multiple pages? Because they don't appear in individual articles. Also can someone add in the inter-generational communication table between Gen I(VC) and Gen VI to insert Gen II(VC). I know speculation isn't a good idea but I just want to point out this since the Nintendo Direct outright states that Gen II(VC) is able to operate within Pokemon Bank.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 22:57, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

== Gold and Silver ==
So Pokémon from Gold and Silver will not be transferable to the original Sun and Moon? [[User:TeridaxXD001|TeridaxXD001]] ([[User talk:TeridaxXD001|talk]]) 23:12, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
:I think all we know at this point is that they'll be transferable to Bank and then to Ultra SM. We'll probably have to wait until the VC release to find out whether they'll also be transferable to the original SM. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:38, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

== Compatibility Chart...part 2 ==

Wanted to bring this up again.....I've been thinking that instead of expanding the lead every time a new game comes out, we should just have a little chart that shows what games are compatible with the software. I made it up on my [[User:HoennMaster/Sandbox|sandbox page]], but wanted to see what other people thought about including it. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 05:04, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

== SM compatibility ==

When did Pokemon Bank become compatible with Sun and Moon? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 22:57, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
:January 24, 2017, according to [[Poké Transporter]]. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:18, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

== Ultra Necrozma ==

Ultra Necrozma should be added to restricted list,despite it being a hack-only form, bank does allow other hack only forms such as mega and primal Pokémon. Forms such as darmanitans zen form, meloetta pirouette form, ash greninja blade form aegislash, school form wishiwashi can all be successfully deposited in bank. This leaves ultra Necrozma in a unique position being one of the few Pokémon that cannot be deposited {{unsigned|VexIsRed}}
:We usually don't add mechanics that require hacking to the pages (unless it's a page about glitches), so I don't think it's worth mentioning which hacked forms of Pokémon are allowed to be deposited or not. If anywhere at all, this could be in the trivia section.
:Still, you should probably provide a source to explain how do you know if all these forms you mentioned are allowed or not.

{{bulbanews|game}}
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 {{wp|Nintendo eShop}}. It serves as a complement to the [[Pokémon Storage System]], and is compatible with [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

A companion application, [[Poké Transporter]], allows the player to transfer Pokémon from other core series games to Pokémon Bank; specifically, it can connect with the [[Generation V]] core series games as well as the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} core series games.

Pokémon Bank is a paid service. The annual charge is ¥500 in Japan, $4.99 in {{pmin|the United States}}, $6.99 plus tax in {{pmin|Canada}}, £4.49 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, €4.99 in the {{wp|Eurozone}}, $6.50 in {{pmin|Australia}}, $8.50 in {{pmin|New Zealand}}, ₩5000 in {{pmin|South Korea}}, $150 in {{pmin|Greater China|Taiwan}}, and $40 in {{pmin|Greater China|Hong Kong}}.

==Usage==
===Pokémon storage===
[[File:XY Prerelease Pokémon Bank box.png|thumb|Pokémon Bank being used in a copy of Pokémon X]]
Pokémon Bank allows {{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.

The user interface is similar to the user interface of the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in the core series games. The player can move Pokémon between the game and Pokémon Bank, or simply rearrange the Pokémon they have in them. The player cannot access the Pokémon in Pokémon Bank unless a game is connected to the system.

====Poké Transporter====
{{main|Poké Transporter}}
Poké Transporter allows the transfer of Pokémon from the [[Generation V]] core series games and the Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and II core series games to Pokémon Bank. It can be downloaded separately after Pokémon Bank has been downloaded.

The Transport Box, which is effectively the 101st Box, is reserved for use by Poké Transporter. Pokémon cannot be placed in it, except by Poké Transporter; the player can only move Pokémon out of the box, not into it.

====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.

====Restrictions====
{{incomplete|section|Any/all other incompatible moves or Pokemon? Including any that may only be restricted from being deposited in a given game}}
Pokémon that are holding any [[item]]s cannot be deposited into Pokémon Bank. If the player attempts to deposit Pokémon that are holding items, the items will be removed and sent to the player's [[Bag]]. If the Bag is full, the item will disappear.

[[:Category:Pokémon that evolve through trading|Pokémon that]] [[evolution|evolve]] via [[trade|trading]] will not evolve when deposited into or withdrawn from Pokémon Bank.

{{pkmn|Egg}}s, [[Cosplay Pikachu]], Black {{p|Kyurem}}, White Kyurem, Dusk Mane {{p|Necrozma}}, Dawn Wings Necrozma, Ultra Necrozma, and certain {{pkmn2|Totem}}-sized Pokémon introduced in {{2v2|Ultra Sun|Ultra Moon}} (specifically {{p|Togedemaru}}, {{p|Araquanid}}, {{p|Ribombee}}, and {{DL|Regional variant|Alola|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}}) cannot be deposited in Pokémon Bank.

Pokémon with moves that were introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] cannot be transferred to [[Pokémon X and Y]]. Likewise, Pokémon and moves introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] cannot be traded to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

Any Pokémon caught in or transferred to the Generation VII games, or that was transferred from a Generation I or II game, cannot be transferred to the Generation VI games. Such Pokémon are outlined in a white square when using a Generation VI game with Pokémon Bank.

===Connectivity===
Any number of physical or digital copies of Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon can be used in conjunction with Pokémon Bank. Pokémon Bank can be utilized at any point after the player obtains the [[Pokédex]] in those games. 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 the Generation VI and VII core series games 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. However, 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.

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 may or may not be preserved, and eventually will be lost entirely if a new pass is not purchased in time. If the stored Pokémon have not been lost yet, it is possible to connect to Pokémon Bank and withdraw them without purchasing a new pass.

Player reports have varied considerably as to how long Pokémon have been preserved after a pass expires. There exist reports that Pokémon have been kept for multiple years, as well as reports that Pokémon have been deleted after a few days or less<ref>https://www.resetera.com/threads/pokemon-home-announced-social-cloud-storage-and-transfer-service-for-pokemon-across-all-games-pogo-let%E2%80%99s-go-mainline-games.119561/page-4#post-21213944</ref>. It is conjectured that sweeps are done at arbitrary times to all accounts with expired passes at the time of the sweep.

===Pokédex===
Introduced in the version 1.3 update, Pokémon Bank features a [[National Pokédex]] that collects and consolidates information on Pokémon that have been registered as "seen" or "caught" in the Pokédexes of any Generation VI or VII core series game updated with Pokémon Bank. Users can view basic information and Pokédex entries from the Generation VI and VII core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered, with the exception of [[Cosplay Pikachu]].

This [[Pokédex]] also includes an extensive search filter that provides, among other options, the ability to search for Pokémon by their [[List of Pokémon by availability|availability]] in the Generation VI and VII core series games, as well as their appearances in various [[regional Pokédex]]es, including the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]], [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]], [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Good Old Hoenn]], [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh]], [[List of Pokémon by New Unova Pokédex number|Unova]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number#Central Kalos Pokédex|Central Kalos]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number#Coastal Kalos Pokédex|Coastal Kalos]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number#Mountain Kalos Pokédex|Mountain Kalos]], [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation VI)|Hoenn]], and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Sun and Moon)|Alola]] Pokédexes.

{{bulbanews|game}}
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 {{wp|Nintendo eShop}}. It serves as a complement to the [[Pokémon Storage System]], and is compatible with [[Pokémon X and Y]], [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

A companion application, [[Poké Transporter]], allows the player to transfer Pokémon from other core series games to Pokémon Bank; specifically, it can connect with the [[Generation V]] core series games as well as the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} core series games.

Pokémon Bank is a paid service. The annual charge is ¥500 in Japan, $4.99 in {{pmin|the United States}}, $6.99 plus tax in {{pmin|Canada}}, £4.49 in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, €4.99 in the {{wp|Eurozone}}, $6.50 in {{pmin|Australia}}, $8.50 in {{pmin|New Zealand}}, ₩5000 in {{pmin|South Korea}}, $150 in {{pmin|Greater China|Taiwan}}, and $40 in {{pmin|Greater China|Hong Kong}}.

==Usage==
===Pokémon storage===
[[File:XY Prerelease Pokémon Bank box.png|thumb|Pokémon Bank being used in a copy of Pokémon X]]
Pokémon Bank allows {{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.

The user interface is similar to the user interface of the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in the core series games. The player can move Pokémon between the game and Pokémon Bank, or simply rearrange the Pokémon they have in them. The player cannot access the Pokémon in Pokémon Bank unless a game is connected to the system.

====Poké Transporter====
{{main|Poké Transporter}}
Poké Transporter allows the transfer of Pokémon from the [[Generation V]] core series games and the Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and II core series games to Pokémon Bank. It can be downloaded separately after Pokémon Bank has been downloaded.

The Transport Box, which is effectively the 101st Box, is reserved for use by Poké Transporter. Pokémon cannot be placed in it, except by Poké Transporter; the player can only move Pokémon out of the box, not into it.

====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.

====Restrictions====
{{incomplete|section|Any/all other incompatible moves or Pokemon? Including any that may only be restricted from being deposited in a given game}}
Pokémon that are holding any [[item]]s cannot be deposited into Pokémon Bank. If the player attempts to deposit Pokémon that are holding items, the items will be removed and sent to the player's [[Bag]]. If the Bag is full, the item will disappear.

[[:Category:Pokémon that evolve through trading|Pokémon that]] [[evolution|evolve]] via [[trade|trading]] will not evolve when deposited into or withdrawn from Pokémon Bank.

{{pkmn|Egg}}s, [[Cosplay Pikachu]], Black {{p|Kyurem}}, White Kyurem, Dusk Mane {{p|Necrozma}}, Dawn Wings Necrozma, Ultra Necrozma, and certain {{pkmn2|Totem}}-sized Pokémon introduced in {{2v2|Ultra Sun|Ultra Moon}} (specifically {{p|Togedemaru}}, {{p|Araquanid}}, {{p|Ribombee}}, and {{DL|Regional variant|Alola|Alolan}} {{p|Marowak}}) cannot be deposited in Pokémon Bank.

Pokémon with moves that were introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] cannot be transferred to [[Pokémon X and Y]]. Likewise, Pokémon and moves introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] cannot be traded to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

Any Pokémon caught in or transferred to the Generation VII games, or that was transferred from a Generation I or II game, cannot be transferred to the Generation VI games. Such Pokémon are outlined in a white square when using a Generation VI game with Pokémon Bank.

===Connectivity===
Any number of physical or digital copies of Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon can be used in conjunction with Pokémon Bank. Pokémon Bank can be utilized at any point after the player obtains the [[Pokédex]] in those games. 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 the Generation VI and VII core series games 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. However, 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.

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 may or may not be preserved, and eventually will be lost entirely if a new pass is not purchased in time. If the stored Pokémon have not been lost yet, it is possible to connect to Pokémon Bank and withdraw them without purchasing a new pass.

Player reports have varied considerably as to how long Pokémon have been preserved after a pass expires. There exist reports that Pokémon have been kept for multiple years, as well as reports that Pokémon have been deleted after a few days or less<ref>https://www.resetera.com/threads/pokemon-home-announced-social-cloud-storage-and-transfer-service-for-pokemon-across-all-games-pogo-let%E2%80%99s-go-mainline-games.119561/page-4#post-21213944</ref>. It is conjectured that sweeps are done at arbitrary times to all accounts with expired passes at the time of the sweep.

===Pokédex===
Introduced in the version 1.3 update, Pokémon Bank features a [[National Pokédex]] that collects and consolidates information on Pokémon that have been registered as "seen" or "caught" in the Pokédexes of any Generation VI or VII core series game updated with Pokémon Bank. Users can view basic information and Pokédex entries from the Generation VI and VII core series games of Pokémon they have registered. Pokédex entries from other languages and alternate [[form]]s of Pokémon can also be registered, with the exception of [[Cosplay Pikachu]].

This [[Pokédex]] also includes an extensive search filter that provides, among other options, the ability to search for Pokémon by their [[List of Pokémon by availability|availability]] in the Generation VI and VII core series games, as well as their appearances in various [[regional Pokédex]]es, including the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]], [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]], [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Good Old Hoenn]], [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh]], [[List of Pokémon by New Unova Pokédex number|Unova]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number#Central Kalos Pokédex|Central Kalos]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number#Coastal Kalos Pokédex|Coastal Kalos]], [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number#Mountain Kalos Pokédex|Mountain Kalos]], [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation VI)|Hoenn]], and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Sun and Moon)|Alola]] Pokédexes.
