Pokémon HOME (NSP, XCI) ROM + v3.1.0 Update

Pokémon HOME now supports Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, allowing seamless transfers between these games and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, Pokémon Legends: Arceus, Pokémon Sword, and Pokémon Shield*. Link your games for exclusive Pokémon rewards. This is a free app for mobile and Nintendo Switch developed by ILCA and published by The Pokémon Company, part of the Pokémon series, released in February 2020. Its main use is providing cloud-based storage for Pokémon. It also contains the ‘Global Trading System’ (GTS) that was excluded from Pokémon games after Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and provides the ability to transfer Pokémon from the previous storage system, Pokémon Bank for the Nintendo 3DS, as well as Pokémon Go, onto the Switch.

SYNOPSIS

Pokémon Home has two different versions; the Nintendo Switch version and the mobile version. Both versions are linked via a Nintendo Account, and there exists both a free Basic Plan along a paid Premium Plan. All users from both versions can also access a National Pokédex that updates as Pokémon are deposited into Home. If a user completes this Pokédex up to Eternatus, they receive a special Original Color Magearna as a reward. The Premium Plan allows users to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Bank to the boxes in Home using both versions, although this is a one-way transfer, and also view the ‘Individual Values’ of a Pokémon. Users of both versions can unidirectionally transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Go to Pokémon Home without needing a Premium Plan.

LINK YOUR GAMES TO CLAIM SPECIAL POKEMON

When you transfer a Pokémon from Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet into Pokémon HOME for the first time, you’ll be able to receive a Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly with Hidden Abilities as Mystery Gifts in the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME! If you deposit a Pokémon from Pokémon Brilliant Diamond or Pokémon Shining Pearl into the Nintendo Switch™ version of Pokémon HOME, you will receive Turtwig, Chimchar, and Piplup with Hidden Abilities as a Mystery Gift in the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME. If you deposit a Pokémon from Pokémon Legends: Arceus into the Nintendo Switch version of Pokémon HOME, you will receive Rowlet, Cyndaquil, and Oshawott with maximum effort levels as a Mystery Gift in the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME.

A NEW HOME FOR YOUR POKEMON

Pokémon HOME is a cloud service for the Nintendo Switch system and compatible mobile devices designed as a place where all Pokémon can gather. By linking the same Nintendo Account to both the Nintendo Switch version and the mobile version of Pokémon HOME, you’ll be able to access the same Pokémon Boxes on both versions. With Pokémon HOME you can move Pokémon between compatible games, trade Pokémon on the go, and more! You can also purchase a subscription** to the Pokémon HOME Premium Plan for more features.

With Pokémon HOME, you can manage your collection of Pokémon across multiple games. Gathering your Pokémon is just the beginning—you can trade with friends or with anyone around the world directly using the Pokémon HOME mobile app***. A subscription to the Premium Plan gives the ability to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Bank, expands the number of Pokémon that can be deposited from 30 to 6,000, and expands the number of Pokémon that can be placed in the Wonder Box and GTS at one time (mobile version only), allows you to host your Room Trades (mobile version only) and gives you the Judge function right within Pokémon HOME.

EXCLUSIVE FEATURES

Version 3.1.0 of Pokémon HOME was released on May 29, 2023, allowing players to connect their Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet games with Pokémon HOME. This connection enables players to transfer their Pokémon seamlessly between different games through Pokémon HOME. Pokémon can only be transferred to games in which they already exist. For instance, Dolliv cannot be transferred to Pokémon Sword, Pokémon Shield, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon Shining Pearl, or Pokémon Legends: Arceus because it does not appear in those games. On the other hand, a Pikachu from Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet can be moved to these games as it is available in them. Moreover, when Pokémon are transferred to Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, their Tera Type will be determined based on their original type or types.

With the Basic Plan, users have access to the Basic Box which can hold up to 30 Pokémon from games including Let’s Go Pikachu!, Let’s Go Eevee!, Sword, Shield, Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl, Legends: Arceus, Scarlet, and Violet. The Basic Box can also receive Pokémon imported from Pokémon HOME. Pokémon cannot be transferred into the Let’s Go games if they originated from a different Nintendo Switch game. If Pokémon from Let’s Go are transferred to HOME and then moved to a different Nintendo Switch game, they cannot return to Let’s Go games. Users can move Pokémon in the Regional, Isle of Armor, and Crown Tundra Pokédexes in Sword and Shield to and from Pokémon Home. Points earned from depositing Pokémon in Home can be converted to Battle Points in Sword and Shield, or League Points in Scarlet and Violet. The Premium Plan grants access to all 200 boxes, capable of holding up to 6,000 Pokémon. Additionally, Pokémon from Pokémon Bank can be transferred to Home, and Premium Plan users have access to rewards from online competitions and Mystery Gifts in Sword and Shield.
