I just don't know what to say. If I ever play a DS/3DS Pokemon game again, they're stuck on the cart. They can't join the rest of my Pokemon in home. Everything from my first Typhlosion to a shiny Hoppip from POGO Community Day is there. It's really sad. And of course there's all the actual games that will disappear.

although I would still transfer before March 2023 just to be safe.

 

[Z25]

It should be noted, Rhythm Heaven Megamix is eShop exclusive here in the west, so this will be y'all's last opportunity to get it easily

It’s an absolutely worth buying purchase to. Had a lot of fun with it as the first game I played in that series.

I can decypher these runes what do they say?

PokeBank free after the eShop closes.

 

[Pokelego999]

Wait the eshop's closing?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Yeah, it's a really good starting point for the series. It has a lot of the essential minigames under one package and only goes for $30, which is steal given how expensive the series can get secondhand.

On a similar note, Rhythm Heaven Fever is on the Wii U eShop for $20, which is significantly less than it goes for online

 

[Schnee117]

PokeBank free after the eShop closes.

For a certain period of time
It's still gonna go eventually, people just have a longer time to do the transfers

 

[Pokelego999]

Oh god this is the nightmare scenario

I'm gonna have to save my money to preserve my older Pokemon now, but then where will my Pokemon go? I don't have a game to send them to. I'm gonna need to hope within the next year there's a game I can put all my guys on, otherwise I'm gonna have to worry about Pokemon HOME purgatory for a long time.

They removed the national dex specifically so you wouldnt worry about these bites of data anymore.

 

[MooMew64]

so anyways:

Spoiler: 3DS Stats

Words cannot describe how much I regret sinking that much time into Fates (400+ hours): I don't even like it that much anymore loooooool.

The rest are still rad games, though, so yeah, good memories.

Spoiler: Wii U stats

Honestly surprised Splatoon 1 isn't the highest, 'cause I didn't like Smash Wii U much.

ALSO, HOW THE HECK DID I PUT THAT MANY HOURS INTO PRIME TRILOGY?????? I SHARED THIS COPY WITH MY NEPHEW ON MY ACCOUNT, BUT WHAT THE FLIP HOW DID IT HIT 133 HOURS

 

[Hadokeyblade]

My personal top 3 most played 3DS games are Smash bros, Pokemon X and Project X Zone 2

I think most if not all the Legendaries and Mythicals are in SwSh after the DLC, so you can transfer them there.

As for the entire Nat Dex...

Pokémon Home Jail

just realized the saddest casualty of all of this

How about they make it free and ill think about using it

 

[MooMew64]

Welp

This just cemented in my mind one thing:

TPC's plan is probably to have ILCA remaster the 3DS Pokémon at some point, lol.

 

[Pokelego999]

Bank is being made free after eshop shuts down. You'll need it predownloaded beforehand though. It will shut down after a certain period of time.

Pokémon Home Jail

And Pokemon HOME is expensive for long term use

I hope another game comes out that allows us to send everything in, otherwise this ain't gonna be good on my wallet.

You can abuse the free perks to send your Legendaries.

Storing is where they get ya.

 

[TheMightyP]

Tbh, I would be upset but I don't really play my 3DS nor the Wii U anymore. I am a little ticked that they don't offer any other options to play such old games but I guess if I wanna play now, I'd just emulate old games.

At that point, it's stealing from scalpers and that's always morally correct.

Problem is I filled my free box ages ago.


So I'll either need to pay for more storage later down the line or hope I can send them somewhere within the next year.

3DS was my jam back in the day, but it's really hard to go back to now that I've been spoiled by the Switch.

TBH I'm probably just gonna start emulating a majority of the 3DS library, lol. I'll probably play Pokémon Moon on Citra when I get to it, but I will make sure to buy it since it's still up.

 

[TheMightyP]

On Pokemon Home, I just pay the monthly fee whenever I feel like transferring in and out.

So like a grand total of 3 times.

 

[Pokelego999]

This really makes me realize the issue of digital based updates and releases

Stuff like this seals it off permanently.

Like I mean, once Bank shuts down after that "certain period of time" they mentioned Pokemon can no longer be sent from Gens 3-7 to HOME and 8, which is essentially the biggest single lock out of Pokemon since Gen 2-3.

 

[MooMew64]

Sun/Moon but chibi

TBH I more see them just upressing the 3DS textures, tossing in some QoL and calling it a day; Cheap, easy, and would act as easy release filler in-between Gens and Legends games.

This is the play TBH.

Just pay for it when you need it.

Am half tempted to make a thread/write an article with notable games to pick up while you can. It's going to be a rough few months for my wallet that's for sure. Am glad that Pokemon Bank is at least staying open so we can still have all Generations connected together for now.

Off the top of my head:

VC
Murasame Castle - Only way to play overseas
Summer Carnival '92 Recca - Only way to play overseas, original cart goes for $400 online
Pokemon Crystal - Celebi Event
Pokemon Trading Card Game - Link Cable exclusive cards unlocked
Super Mario Bros. 3 (GBA) - E-Reader Events/Levels/Power Ups
Mega Man Battle Network series - Multiplayer Battle Chips auto-unlocked
Rhythm Heaven Fever (not VC, but expensive)

Games:
FE Fates Revelations
Rhythm Heaven Megamix
Ace Attorney series
Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright
Gotta Protectors (would highly recommend)
River City Knights of Justice
Yumi's Odd Odyssey/Umihara Kawase
Pokemon Dream Radar
LoZ Twilight Princess Picross - My Nintendo Exclusive
Game & Wario - Expensive
Devil's Third - Loose is $130, CIB is $340

 

[Hadokeyblade]

That's kinda the whole reason Home exists and why they wont make a Switch Pokemon game that can fit all of the Pokemon even though it's 100% feasible.

Easy money.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

The fact Seth Rogen is involved in this doesn't really give me much confidence...

more successes than fails tho (including his involvement in past comic based shows)

You can also add in Yokai watch 3, that game is pretty good but because it came out at the very end of the 3DS lifecycle in the west it's nearly imposible to find for a reasonable price physically, so your only option is to either emulate or pirate.

And the Ace attorney games have been ported to other places like Switch and mobile (Except for Vs) so unless you just HAVE to play them on 3DS your good.

 

[Noipoi]

Wait, consider the following.

Pokemon demake collection.

Gens 6-8, all done in a top down view with HD 2D sprites. Gen 5 style moving battle sprites, though higher resolution. And with QoL improvements like no HMs.

Funny thing is, I remember seeing it and some of the Persona 3DS games sitting at my local game shop for months collecting dust until speculation articles started to come out. lol

Yeah Persona Q2 was like, the last big release the 3DS got.
I'm glad i picked up both that and Yokai 3 at their respective launches, i like them a lot.

Would be neat. Maybe Kalos could be good for once, and not get done dirty.

Man, this really feels like the end of an era

Feels like only yesterday when the 3ds and the Wii U were the new systems on the block. Crazy to think it's been a good decade or so...

 

[Pokelego999]

Another game of note is Lego Dimensions. Once the eshop shuts down, the updates for Year 2 characters will be unobtainable, so download all of them if you ever intend on using Dimensions again, as this will be the last chance to do so.

This is making me think of how hard it's going to be to play as Sora in smash in like 10 years.

Like, smash 4's DLC has basically been preserved in Smash ultimate base game, but what about Ultimate's DLC?
