With the recent release of Pokemon Sword and Shield, many have already jumped into the latest Pokemon adventure. The Galar region is filled to the brim with new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:gen 8 Pokemon to add to your collection. Essentially it seems Pokemon Home is an evolution of the storage system🦋 Pokemon Bank that lets you store Pokemon from the 3DS to mobile for Pokemon Go. Ahead of any more news about the new app, here's everything we know so far about Pokemon Hom📖e, including its release date, where it can be downloaded, what games are compatible, and more as information is revealed.
How it'll work
Pokemon Home can be connected to other games, where trainers will be ab𒁃le to deposit or retrieve Pokemon that be obtained in those games. Pokemon Sword and Shield, Pokemon: Let's Go Eevee, Pokemon: Let's go Pikachu can link the Nintendo Switch version of home. Once a Pokemon from Pokemon: Let's Go Eevee or Pikachu is moved into Pokemon Sword and Shield, it can't be returned to the original game.
If you have a premium subscription to Pokemon Home (paid), you'll also be able to move Pokemon from 3DS Pokemon games using Pokemon Bank. Again, it's important to note that once you move a Pokemon from Bank to Home, it can't be returned to Banꦺk.
After the launch of Pokemon Home, Pokemon Bank and Poke Transporter will be available for free for a one-month perio🌜d. During that month, you'll be able to move Pokemo🅘n over to Home using Bank and Poke Transporter from various Pokemon games.
On mobile, there are four ways to trade Pokemon using the app. By placing Pokemon in a feature known as th𝕴e "Wonder Box," you'll be able to trade with people around the world. Using a Global Trade System, you can also specify which Pokemon you want to trade and which you want to receivไe from other trainers.
The app also includes a feature known as Room Trade included in Premium (ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚpaid) version of the cloud service that lets you create a room and trade Pokemon among other people who can join. Each room can hold up to 20 people.
