Is Pokémon Bank no longer usable? - Concept illustration of man with money saying no to offer during business negations on phone

I am trying to use Pokémon Bank on the 3DS to transfer Pokémon from Gen I VC and Gen V to Gen VII. I've never used it before and nothing about it seems to work as described on the internet:

  • Poké Transporter is not available on the eShop and I can't figure out any way to download it.
  • When I launch Pokémon Bank, it tells me there's no save data and asks me if I still want to transfer to Pokémon Home. The first time I said yes, it had me purchase a pass. Now when I say yes, it logs me in, then says I don't have any Pokémon to transfer and logs me back out.

As far as I can tell, Pokémon Bank now can only be used to transfer Pokémon that are already in Pokémon Bank to Pokémon Home, and has no other function. Am I missing something?
