Pokémon Bank was originally set to launch in North America in December, but Nintendo’s eShop stability issues near the Pokemon Bank’s Japanese launch resulted in a delay of its Western debut. Last night’s update asks fans in other regions to “stay tuned” to Nintendo’s social media channels for future news of Pokemon Bank’s availability.
Please stay tuned to our social channels for updates on availability in other regions, including North America. (2/2)
