WOOOOOAAAAHHHH $16 PORT OF POKÉMON BANK

They should let me pay for the premium with my stacks upon stacks of Pokedollars

I'm absolutely livid that the Switch app and the phone app don't have feature parity. Why can I only manage labels on the phone app, but the labels are displayed and sortable on the Switch app? Why?? What purpose does that serve???


Wasn't gonna log this but then my activity log said I've "played" this for over 20 hours???

disgusting that we have to pay 60 dollars for a disappointing game, then pay the NSO subscription and then 15 dollars on top for a "service" that should be a base game feature. simply disgusting.

Rip off
Deleted all my Pokemon too

The software for transferring Pokémon between games on the Switch system sure does function
On a serious note its all it needed to be and works just fine, it's only major flaws are the shoddy online hack checking and the subscription based package

Me when I transfer all of my good pokemon from my completed Shield file onto my brand new Sword file:

:()

Locking transfers behind a pay wall is one thing but did they really have to lock the GTS behind a pay wall?

Yeah. Uh, it stores Pokémon and seems to be fine. I haven’t played since gen 5 and only started getting back into the series with gen 8. So don’t have anything to compare it too.

Like pokemon box without the fun.

Extremely slow to use, very cumbersome, loads of loading times, and worst of all, it's three times as expensive as it was on the 3DS. That change nearly made me give up on the franchise completely, and it did make me give up my full livingdex and swear never to work on one ever again.

 If—like me—you're trying to make a Living Dex, this is the way to store all of your Pokémon in one place. Besides that, I'm unsure of why anyone would deposit their little guys in here. In theory, it's cool to have a space to store all of your Pokémon across every generation (1–7 on a 3DS with Pokémon Bank and the rest on Switch), especially since that hasn't always been the case. Without the guarantee that players will be able to bring those Pokémon into future games, though, Pokémon JAIL feels like a more apt title.
 To rub salt in the wound, it's a pretty flimsy subscription service without much to it. PNGs instead of models for the Pokémon, limited information when it could have been more encyclopedic (like a Pokédex), and nothing to do on the side like breeding, EV training, Poké Pelago, etc... not that they really promised anything like that, but HOME feels like soulless software that could have been much more interesting.

When and why the fuck can you review this?!

More like Pokemon Jail, does the bare minimum while holding my Pokemon hostage as I pay their overpriced subscription, thanks to the games these days not supporting them all—not that I'd want them there, as they don't even support the overpriced cloud save system I pay for!

The mobile and switch application having mutually exclusive features is completely unacceptable, why can't I organise my Pokemon on mobile, and why can't I use the GTS on switch? Minimum viable product as always from the Pokemon Company.

Over priced and weirdly limited. why cant you transfer between lets go evee and pikachu? why are 3ds pokemon permanently locked on switch? why is there no pokedex on the mobile app? why is there no trading on the switch version? why is it so expensive when pokemon bank was so much cheaper and worked better?

Que te cobren por esto es un robo

pretty amazing that The Pokemon Company has the nerve to charge more per year than what Bank charged and then doesn't really do anything Bank didn't already do. if you're gonna demand to be the ultimate one stop shop for accessing all your Pokemon you should at least have an Amie-like feature

This app is a godsend for people like me who have been playing Pokemon for 15+ years and have amassed an army of monsters. The interface isn't perfect, but it's a relief to know that my Pokemon are safe in the cloud. I don't mind paying five dollars a year for peace of mind.

2 stars is being generous, but I really only need the 1 box since I barely store in Home, I always just transfer. The fact that there's a paywall is still bad though.

I love this app. I just started to use it to storage and organize my monsters, also to transfer them from all my old games and even from Pokémon GO... The filters are great and it comes with so many extra features, specially in the mobile version (but looks better in the Switch IMO)... Terrific!

thanks for letting me store my pokemon, but on the switch!! xD


Can't review Pokemon Home since it is nothing more than a storage feature but I thought it was worth ranking.

Cloud storage app for switch and phones to store your pokemon. Has a pokedex and gives you some free gifts like original colours magearna for completing the pokedex and GMax melmetal for transferring from pokemon home

Home is neat. I made a full living Pokédex
