How do you upload Pokemon from the Virtual Console versions of R - B - Y to the Pokemon Bank?
Posted On: February 13, 2023

I bought Pokemon Blue today from the VC but when I go into Pokemon Bank or Poketransporter I can't find an option to send Pokemon from my copy of Blue into the Bank.


How do you upload them? Is there some sort of update that is yet to come out? Or am I missing something here?


I have received the Pokedex so that cannot be the issue.


Thanks.


Question from user Fezodge at gaming.stackexchange.com.


Answer:

It isn't available in the games yet. Support for it will happen as part of an update to Pokemon Bank at some point in the future for Sun/Moon Compatibility.


Here's the excerpt from the press release.


Major updates are planned for Pokémon Bank to work with Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon.


Once Pokémon Bank has been updated, you'll be able to use it to transfer Pokémon you've caught in the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console versions of Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, and Pokémon Yellow into your copy of Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon.
