shamanicshayminSo I found myself in a bit of a pickle. I want to start a new game of Ultra Moon, but I wanted to check if I had any rare Pokemon first. Sure enough, I had Legendaries and Ultra Beasts gifted to me from a best friend, one Mythical, and biggest of all, a Shiny Poipole I received from an event. The logical thing to do would be to use Pokemon Bank to transfer my mons to Pokemon Home, right? The problem is my pass expired, so I can't use it. I can't add funds to my 3DS anymore, so I'd have to use a Nintendo eShop card. On top of this, I have a time limit: all services for the 3DS are shutting down on March 23rd, 2023.
Oh shit, I thought. I better hustle and get myself an eShop card! One Gamestop visit later, and I'm ready to insert the code and save my Pokemon.
Pokemon Bank: Invalid! You can't add funds to the 3DS anymore!
Me: ...What.
Pokemon Bank: See, when we said you could still use funds from your 3DS, we meant money that you already had left over from the past. You know, before we prevented you from adding funds.
Me: You fucking lied to me. You said I could still use cards to add funds before the deadline.
Pokemon Bank: lol lmao
So yeah. My event Shiny Poipole is fucking stuck on my 3DS with no way of moving into the next generation. The best I could hope for is to move my Pokemon to my Moon cartridge, reset, then move them back to Ultra Moon and wait for the day Pokemon Bank becomes free so I can finally transfer everyone, but lololololol tough fucking luck, like that's gonna happen.
This is the biggest bullshit ever.
