- Now that Pokemon Home is out, you'll probably want to transfer Pokemon from your Game Boy, DS, 3DS, Switch, Pokemon Go, and Pokemon Bank to the new service. Well, it's just as complicated to.
- After years of hassling users for years, Pokemon Home has finally rectified a glaring problem with the Global Trade System since it first introduced. The problem specifically concerns certain players setting impossible-to-fulfill conditions when setting up a trade—a feature that Game Freak seemed to be overlooking for months.
However, as with almost every iteration of the GTS, players often demand similarly unobtainable Pokemon in exchange for the Pokemon a player is seeking, making it still virtually impossible to.
