At this point in time, I would like to make a friendly reminder (for those who still have an active 3DS) that it would be helpful to transfer or move Pokémon from Pokémon Bank to Pokémon Home, provided one still has active subscriptions for both, before it may no longer be possible to do so. While I'm certain those for whom this matter is pertinent and essential will have already done so, others (like me) may still need to be reminded to do exactly that, especially now as time is running out.
I've actually already done so, although in partial and only for what I really need right now, which happens to be a selection of Pokémon that will likely be essential if and when I undertake the "arts" of VGC again. And that may be a good principle to have for this transfer: if one feels that a Pokémon may be helpful, then it should be transferred or moved right away, regardless of one's current progress of transferring all Pokémon that are necessary or just desirable for posterity, both of which I regard as important.
Even so, it is also helpful to remind that the transfer is not and cannot be done piecemeal, at least not conveniently. One would need to work with each of the individual 3DS games - by virtue of the sole cartridge slot - to transfer to Bank, then to transfer as many as possible to Home, the latter process requiring a transfer code and a three-minute window, not to mention both apps open where they are respectively. It may be said that the process requires a great deal of patience, but is definitely worth it.
Patience may regardless describe the entire ordeal of transferring from Bank to Home, which could be considered almost tantamount to Pokémon breeding, though perhaps the wait is not as painful. Yet like Pokémon breeding, the process is practically necessary to ensure that VGC progress can continue somehow and in the best way possible. And thus I feel the need to make a reminder now, not only for me personally but also for others for which it may be useful, before time is up on the 3DS.
