So Pokémon bank will shut down February 26th 2027, losing the ability to transfer Pokémon from gen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7

I saw. Jesus fucking Christ. I hope someone can mod Pokemon bank to be offline. Even if it doesn’t do shit post gen 7, having the flair and connectivity with pre that would be serviceable for me.

Either way, this fucking sucks, end of a 23 year era.

Time to crack open PKSM…

Of course it is. Because Nintendo hates preservation

sad, although it's probably been a decade since I've used it. Maybe more.

I'm surprised it even lasted this long. A substantial portion of the userbase is probably using units with CFW installed.

There's nothing you can do with it "offline" that you can't already do just as easily with PKSM.

Another hard hit for the Pokémon franchise. What a time to be alive... for me!

The one company still committed to physical releases? And let's be clear: The Pokemon company has three owners, and is not just owned by Nintendo. Save your Nintendo hate for the next time they go after organized criminals with a justified lawsuit.

You’re not wrong, it’s just the novelty.
