Countdown to Transition: Secure Your Pokémon Collection Before February 26, 2027

This update provides details about an imminent change to a long-standing Pokémon storage service that many have used to safeguard their captured creatures. The shift marks the end of an era as a newer solution has taken over its role.

The service, which previously enabled you to keep all your collected creatures before the introduction of the latest home storage solution, will cease operating on February 26, 2027. After this date, transferring new creatures from your DS or 3DS storage system into the new service will no longer be possible, nor can you add any treasured creatures from previous games to the current releases on the Switch systems.

A message on the official website expresses appreciation for the longstanding support while also informing users indicating that the service is set to conclude officially in February 26, 2027 (Friday) at 12:00 PM. This announcement also clarifies that the ability to send creatures from the storage service into the new home storage solution will conclude simultaneously.

Assuming you've already installed the application, it is important to act soon. New downloads have been halted, so you will need to access your 3DS or DS system. Within the main menu of the storage service, a prompt will guide you on moving your stored boxes into the new service’s repository. Follow these steps to ensure your creatures make the transition:

• Access the main menu on your device to see the transfer prompt.
• Generate a migration key via the main menu of the new home storage solution.
• Enter this key on your 3DS or DS system when prompted.
• Allow the transfer process to complete and enjoy your creatures in their new home.

By adopting these strategies, you'll experience a seamless transition your collection into the future while preserving the cherished connection to your Pokémon throughout different game generations.
