I have pokebank and poke transfer installed on my 3ds with an expired pass. Do I need to buy a pass before the eShop closes, or can I wait and get it for free?

o snap, so do i. when does it close?
Post automatically merged:

As long as you download Pokémon Bank before the end of March 2023, you should then be able to use the whole service for free (no payments required) when the 3DS eShop closes its doors.

so they will keep it up?

You will need to sign in with your NNID in order to download Pokemon Bank, and you will need to wipe the 3DS before someone else can sign in. So, no.

You need to have a previous purchased subscription in order to use it for free.
This seems to contradict what everyone else is saying?

You do need to have a previously purchased subscription in order to download Pokemon Transporter – unless you use the homebrew that just came out recently.

Well you need to have it setup before March 27th because after that if people was trying to do it through the eshop they can no longer download poke transporter, which require a paid subscription of pokemon bank.

You can download Pokemon Bank before March 27 and use it for free afterwards with XY/ORAS/SM/USUM (and the eShop versions of RBY/GS) without having to pay for it first. Pokemon Transporter is unnecessary for those games.

That isn't what OP asks for.

Yes, someone already answered what the OP is asking for, and you're writing something completely different, so I don't know what you're writing!

You still need a paid subscription in order to get poke transporter legally, if you didn't download it before March 27th obviously you won't be able to get it afterward because it is not part of your redownload list.

Learn to answer someone questions correctly instead driving people in loops. OP asked how to get pokebank and poke transporter not just bank.

Yes, and the OP said:

Oh very nice, sir. Shall I accuse you of spreading inaccurate and misleading information?

With the special tool released by TuxSH you don't need to purchase a Bank pass to download it from the eShop. Once that's done it counts as being acquired on the account, regardless of the status of Bank. Anyone with homebrew access can use it until March 27.

Would it be an idea to create a new Nintendo account using a random email, and later sell the 3ds with that account? Then however buys it can connect that email to there's pokemon home?

You could do that, but you would have to format the 3DS in order to create a new NNID to sign into the eShop and download Pokemon Bank.

Thanks for the replys. I already got cfw on it and I never played on it. I bought it in a bundle with a lot of games that I wanted.
I will format and make a random account
