Update:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve had a slight development, with word quickly spreading online that the Pok\u00e9 Transporter<\/strong> is not working for some users. We booted up the app ourselves to take a look and were greeted with the following message:<\/p>\n

\n

“Your pass for Pok\u00e9mon Bank has expired, so you can’t use Pok\u00e9 Transporter. Please open Pok\u00e9mon Bank<\/em> to purchase a pass.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you’ve also got the same message, it seems you shouldn’t worry too much. According to an update on the official Pok\u00e9mon Japanese website<\/a> earlier this month, the Transporter application will also be made free to everyone who has downloaded it.<\/p>\n

While users without a pass don’t seem to be able to access this service right now, users who have recently renewed their sub have reported being able to access this app.<\/p>\n

If we hear about any developments or updates, we’ll let you know.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s the end of the beginning for the 3DS today and although it’s a sad day for many fans of the 3D handheld, it’s not all bad news. On the Pok\u00e9mon front, the 3DS application Pok\u00e9mon Bank<\/strong> is now officially free to use… at least in the foreseeable future. Here’s a reminder from Serebii.net:<\/p>\n
