Notice regarding Pokémon Bank and the Nintendo 2DS Special Edition hardware bundles with pre-installed Pokémon Virtual Console titles
A small subset of Pokémon fans will want to take note of some important instructions from Nintendo. These instructions involve anyone who:
Has a Pokémon Bank account through an existing Nintendo system;
AND
Purchases a Nintendo 2DS Special Edition hardware bundle with pre-installed Pokémon Red Version, Pokémon Blue Version or Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition games;
AND
Wants to transfer Pokémon from those games to their Pokémon Bank account.
People who fit into that category must remember to first perform a system transfer from their existing system to the Nintendo 2DS Special Edition system before starting the game or registering a new Nintendo Network ID.
