Pokémon Bank on Nintendo 3DS to shut down in 2027

The Pokémon Company will end the Pokémon Bank service on Nintendo 3DS in 2027. Players who moved Pokémon into Bank for long-term storage must retrieve them before the shutdown. The service first launched more than a decade ago, so the closure affects longstanding saved collections.

• Pokémon Bank service on Nintendo 3DS will be discontinued in 2027.
• The Pokémon Company runs the service and set the 2027 end date.
• Players who stored Pokémon in Pokémon Bank need to retrieve their Pokémon before the shutdown to avoid losing access.
• Pokémon Bank originally launched over ten years prior to the planned 2027 closure.
