I heard the last update for the 3DS fucked peoples homebrew consoles, so I haven't even connected to the internet since then.

But now I want to transfer a bunch of my old Pokemon to Pokemon Bank so I can get them onto Home and then my Switch, but Pokemon Bank needs an update...

Whats the safest way to do this? Can I just update it or will that fuck my homebrew?

According to the experts at 3ds.hacks.guide:

The latest 3DS firmware is 11.17.0. Here’s what you should know:

If your console is running Luma 10.2.1 or higher, it is 100% safe to update. You can check your Luma version by holding (Select) while booting your console.

If your console is on an older Luma version, you should update Luma before you update your console to 11.17.0.

If your console does not yet have custom firmware, you can install it now on all firmwares with this guide.
