Pokémon has a long-running history of producing new video games every few years, and in the past, The Pokémon Company has always found ways to bring your old Pokémon from previous generations to current consoles. Unfortunately, a service The Pokémon Company launched to help transfer Pokémon is now set to shut down in just a few months. Over the course of the last 30 years, over 1000 Pokémon have been designed and featured in the games, and for a while, The Pokémon Company has made it easy to transfer them to different consoles. But that will all change in 2027.

Pokémon began as a franchise in 1996 with the release of Pokémon Red and Green in Japan for the Game Boy, which later came out in the West as Pokémon Red and Blue. Since then, the company has released nine mainline Pokémon games, with the most recent being Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and announced its 10th generation through the release of Pokémon Winds and Waves in 2027. ​​​​​​With the new release, fans may officially have to let go of some of their oldest pokémon.

The Pokémon Company has announced it will be shutting down its Pokémon Bank service in 2027. Introduced in 2013, this subscription cloud service platform allowed players to transfer their Pokémon from the 3DS games to online storage, which let them send them to the current system. According to the Japanese Pokémon website, Pokémon Bank will end its services on Friday, February 26, 2027, along with the function to transfer from Pokémon Bank to Pokémon HOME. Pokémon Bank’s end-of-service date was already expected by Pokémon fans when Nintendo closed the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo 3DS back in 2023, which prevented new users from downloading Pokémon Bank after the shop’s closure date and gave existing users free access to use the service.

Pokémon HOME Is Now the Only Service Left To Transfer Pokémon Across Generations

With Generation 10 set to come out next year, the only way for players to bring their old Pokémon to newer generations post 2027 will be through Pokémon HOME. Pokémon HOME is a cloud service for iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch, released in 2020, that lets players transfer Pokémon not just from Pokémon Bank, but also from other games like Pokémon GO. Like Pokémon Bank, Pokémon HOME offers a subscription option for players who want to store more Pokémon, and like the older service, certain Pokémon cannot be transferred to cloud storage. Because of the “Dexit controversy” (the incident when The Pokémon Company revealed that some pre-existing Pokémon would not be transferable to Pokémon Sword and Shield), some Pokémon also cannot be transferred out of HOME or sent to certain games.

Before these cloud storage services, Pokémon were transferable through features like the Nintendo DS’s free Pal Park, which used the Nintendo DS’s Game Boy Advance slot, the Game Boy’s Link Cable, which allowed trading between Generations I and II, or later through the Virtual Console on the Nintendo 3DS.

Pokémon Winds and Waves is scheduled to come out in 2027. Follow Collider for more updates.

In what’s about to be a mad scramble for video game releases over the next few months, there are arguably no two titles more anticipated than Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto VI and Nintendo‘s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. The former has been a lightning rod for controversy as more information has come out, between all the in-game content locked behind a deluxe edition, the lack of a physical edition, the increased price, and more recently, the Netflix-exclusive preview. However, details on the latter have been surprisingly few so far. The official announcement trailer was shared back in June, but there hasn’t been any gameplay shown, an exact date hasn’t been set, and all Nintendo has confirmed is that it will have “stunning visuals, updated designs, and timeless gameplay.”

All that’s been shown is a brief glimpse at the updated graphics, a brief narration, and a crisp new look for young Link that leans more realistic than the original Nintendo 64 title or its 3DS remake. “Timeless gameplay” suggests Ocarina will play somewhat similarly to its predecessor, yet there’s no confirmation if this is a more ground-up remake with updated dungeon design and combat or if it’s a more one-to-one recreation for modern consoles. Nintendo, for their part, initially described it as a “full remake,” yet they also haven’t revealed which team is developing the game. While it could be in-house, plenty of outside developers have also helped the gaming giant on past Zelda incarnations, like Grezzo, who handled the previous Ocarina of Time remake, Skyward Sword HD team Tantalus, or even Capcom. The only thing we do know for certain is that this remake will officially be the first to be made exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2.

There will be no Nintendo Switch version of the new Ocarina of Time, meaning players who haven’t yet made the upgrade and want to jump into the refreshed classic will be out of luck. The focus on recreating Link’s adventure in Hyrule solely for the more powerful handheld hybrid does further drive home how different visually this version will be, much like Star Fox earlier this year. The new Legend of Zelda release may be priced similarly, too. Although it hasn’t been officially confirmed by Nintendo, an online retailer had already posted the price for a physical copy at $59.99, which would come in lower than the typical first-party premium point of $69.99.

‘The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’ Will Arrive for the Franchise’s 40th Anniversary

Nintendo has put a lot of plans in motion to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda this year, and Ocarina of Time is just part of it. Photos have circulated indicating that the company will soon announce its first-ever special edition Switch 2 console — a black, gold, and green machine adorned with the Triforce. A similarly themed pro controller sold separately has also appeared online. While those await confirmation, the franchise’s first cinematic effort has been fleshed out considerably. Wes Ball‘s film recently revealed that Young Rock star Uli Latukefu would be embodying the evil wizard Ganondorf opposite Benjamin Evan Ainsworth‘s Link and Bo Bragason‘s Zelda, with the late Sam Neill also set to make his final on-screen appearance in an undisclosed role alongside Yvonne Stahovski and Dichen Lachman. Sony will bring Hyrule to theaters on April 30, 2027.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake arrives sometime later this year on Nintendo Switch 2. Stay tuned here at Collider for further updates as we learn more.

Former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell is set to guest-host ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” for the week of August 17. Now, ahead of her first episode and following the successful run of her one-woman show, “Common Knowledge,” she’s opening up about why she was surprised to be offered the gig and her complicated past with Jimmy Kimmel.

5

Kimmel announced that O’Donnell and several other celebrities would guest host his long-running late-night talk show in June 2026. Now, just hours before her first episode behind the desk, the TV legend is opening up about the real-life dynamics that made it surprising that she’d be asked to host.

She told Variety, “We’ve never spoken on the phone; we’ve texted a few times. Howard Stern tried to make amends with us, so we’ve been at the same parties a few times, and I would talk to his wife. But Jimmy was never a fan of mine, and it was kind of an adversarial relationship — not that I was fighting back, but I was like, ‘OK, one of the bro guys.’”

However, their relationship changed after his beloved uncle, Frank Potenza, passed away, and she reached out to the host. O’Donnell recalled, “When everything happened with his uncle dying, I wrote him, and he wrote back. So, when my publicist called and said, ‘Do you want to guest-host ‘Kimmel’ for a week?’ I said, ‘I haven’t ever even been a guest!’”

She added, “And then I said, ‘If you’re positive that that’s an actual offer and he wants me to do it, then I most certainly will.’ I was surprised, to tell you the truth, and very thankful.”

Rosie Wishes Stephen Colbert Had Been Supported Like Kimmel

O’Donnell continued her Variety interview by highlighting what she feels Kimmel has done for free speech amid Donald Trump‘s second term as president and the tenure of Federal Communications Commission head Brendan Carr.

She said, “I support [Kimmel] in what he’s doing with the First Amendment, and our ability as entertainers and citizens to speak out against our government that’s enshrined in the Founding Fathers’ writings about our government, so I think he’s fantastic.”

From there, she brought up Stephen Colbert, whose late-night show ended in May of this year. According to the Former cohost of “The View,” “And I wish that Stephen Colbert had the same kind of support when it happened to him, because he shouldn’t be gone either.”

Regarding CBS, the former home of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” now owned by David Ellison’s Paramount Skydance, O’Donnell also spoke about the planned acquisition of Warner Bros. The actress stated, “It would be like Fox taking over all news channels. Imagine if Fox was not one outlier and Fox was the mainstay? That’s what’s happening with Hollywood now, and the Ellisons, and it’s tragic.”

She continued, “Look at what’s happened to CBS News and ‘60 Minutes,’ which was the gold star of their entire network, and they blew it up.”

The Former ‘View’ Star Is One Of Six Hosts In Kimmel’s Absence

The first guest host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” this year was comedian Tiffany Haddish. Notably, the “Girls Trip” alum also hosted the show in 2025 during his summer vacation. After that, other hosts include Colman Domingo, Ike Barinholtz, and more. Now, O’Donnell is the fifth person, with her dates going from August 17 to August 20.

Following her, Jelly Roll will serve as the final guest host for “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Kimmel will then return for brand-new episodes beginning September 8, following Labor Day weekend.

Rosie O’Donnell’s One Woman Show Recently Ended

5

O’Donnell began a limited Off-Broadway engagement of her one-woman show, “Common Knowledge,” on July 22 at the Daryl Roth Theater. This came after sold-out runs of the show in Ireland, Scotland, and Australia. It then concluded on August 8.

O’Donnell discussed the show with Broadway Direct, stating that she changed elements of it to fit American audiences. She shared, “It’s very much a love letter to Ireland, so there were many references to Irish things that I didn’t think America would get. So I took out some of the Irish stuff, took out a chunk of (the material about) Scotland. And I put in some more stuff about my children.”

Rosie Is In Talks For A TV Return

“The Rosie O’Donnell Show” ran from 1996 until 2002, and the beloved host later served two stints on ABC’s “The View. Recently, while appearing on the “Tangle” podcast, she revealed that her representation is in early talks for a new talk show.

In discussing what the potential series could be, she stated, “It would look a lot like my old show, to tell you the truth. I think America wants nostalgia. I think what they don’t want is celebrity culture. I think celebrity culture is dead in America.”

Regarding the shift in celebrity culture, O’Donnell explained, “There was a time where, if you could get a big star on your show, the numbers went through the roof. Well, that was before the internet — really, it was before you could literally write a DM to me and I’ll respond.”

She went on, “But I think the time for celebrity culture has died down. We’ve been in the land of gross excess in this country or a long time, and I’d like to do mostly human interest stories, tell good news, have fun and games with people like we used to, get to have Broadway on — and if a celebrity wants to come on and chat, that’s fantastic, but it wouldn’t be because they had a movie to promote.”

Harrison Ford might have insisted that Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny was his final outing as the world’s most famous archaeologist, but apparently nobody told Indy. After five movies, time travel, melting faces, a future Oscar-winning child star and a big room with lots of boxes, it was fair to say Ford might want to hang the fedora up. Alas, no, because Disney has found a pretty novel way to ensure that Ford remains part of the character’s future.

The iconic actor is officially returning to his most famous role for Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent, a new attraction which is currently being built at Walt Disney World in Florida, at Disney’s Animal Kingdom theme park. Ford announced the news at D23 to rapturous cheers from the baying Disney mob, revealing that he had lent his likeness to the models that would be used in the ride.

“Hello, D23. Thanks for coming along on all of Indy’s adventures. Soon it’ll be time for his next ride, and I’m pleased to share that, for the first time ever, I’m the actual model of the Indiana Jones animatronic — fear of snakes included. I’m excited for you to see his next epic adventure, and I’m coming to Walt Disney World soon.”

It’s a fitting way of permanently connecting Ford to a character he first played 45 years ago. Rather than introducing a generic version of Indiana Jones for the new attraction, Disney is effectively preserving Ford’s incarnation of the archaeologist inside one of its theme parks.

What Is ‘Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent’?

Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent is coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom as part of the park’s major transformation, giving Indiana Jones his own adventure built specifically for Walt Disney World. Ford’s likeness will now be incorporated into the attraction through an Audio-Animatronic based directly on the actor. The ride is based on the current track layout of Dinosaur, a prehistoric time-travel adventure dark ride that’s been retired now.

The announcement also means that Dial of Destiny wasn’t quite Ford’s final involvement with Indiana Jones after all. The actor first donned the fedora for Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981 before returning for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. James Mangold then succeeded Spielberg as director for 2023’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which gave Ford’s version of the character an emotional farewell. Until now.

If you could have everything you’ve ever wanted, would you take it? That’s what Steve Pink‘s new comedy asks its audience. Terrestrial gives a young aspiring writer the opportunity of a lifetime, but what happens when an alien threatens the very fabric of the friendships he’s there to protect? Pink, who directed iconic comedies like Hot Tub Time Machine, brings together an all-star cast of Jermain Fowler, James Morosini, Pauline Chalamet, Edy Modica, Rob Yang, and Ted Lasso star Brendan Hunt. Today, Collider is delighted to bring you an exclusive look at the first trailer for the upcoming film!

Written by Samuel Johnson and Connor Diedrich, the comedy is a unique take on all things alien as well as how far you’re willing to go to make your dreams come true. Terrestrial is described as follows: “A long-overdue reunion weekend spirals out of control for four college friends. The host, an aspiring science fiction writer on the verge of sudden success, fights to maintain his sense of reality — a struggle which becomes increasingly difficult in the face of otherworldly dangers.”

The trailer shows Alan (Fowler), a young writer who just got his first book deal, which may lead to a movie deal, in his brand new huge house. When one of his friends questions how all of this can be coming true for Alan, the trailer takes a more comedic/darker turn, showing that maybe Alan didn’t really do all of this on his own.

A New Kind of Indie Film Vehicle

As part of the film’s release, Aero Films is launching with the film’s theatrical release. Ryan Pallas, founder of Aero Films, spoke about the exciting part of using Terrestrial as the company’s first theatrical release. “Our goal with Aero Films is to curate bold, distinctive films from filmmakers with unique perspectives and to connect them with audiences through innovative marketing and distribution,” he told Collider. “I am thrilled to be launching with Terrestrial as our first film. Steve and the filmmaking team have created an incredible mashup of comedy, suspense, and science fiction that’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. I can’t wait for audiences to experience it.”

In the same release, Pink spoke about Terrestrial getting a theatrical run. “I’m thrilled Terrestrial is escaping into the world,” said Pink. “We made a movie about friendship, paranoia, ambition, and the very unhealthy human instinct to invite your friends into your home and then slowly lose your mind in front of them. Also, it’s funny. Which is either a selling point or a cry for help. Go see it!”

You can see what Aero Films has for us with Terrestrial when it hits theaters on October 16. Stay tuned at Collider for more.
