Pokemon Bank free to use when the Nintendo 3DS eShop goes offline in March 2023

The Pokemon Company has tweeted this morning that the Nintendo 3DS Pokemon Bank will become free to use once the Nintendo 3DS eShop goes offline in March 2023. The move comes after Nintendo has unfortunately announced that the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS eShops will go offline from late March 2023. However, it has been revealed that Pokemon Bank on Nintendo 3DS will only be available for free to those who have downloaded it before the Nintendo 3DS eShop discontinuation happens in March next year.
