Pokémon HOME for Positive User Reviews
✓ Amazing overall but some little ideas?So I’ve had this for a bit and it has been amazing but there are a few hiccups that would make the game so much better, I was wondering if there was a way if possible to have held items carry over? I know that is difficult but it would make something like trade evolutions possible for those who can’t afford or won’t buy the online pass for switch. And for the GTS, something I haven’t seen anyone ask for yet is a setting for if you want a shiny Pokémon, it’s very hard to find shiny Pokémon and trying to trade is risky as there isn’t really a way to specifically ask for a shiny, I’ve been hunting for a shiny ralts for a while without luck and have been turning to trades for it but i can’t just put a Pokémon in the GTS and request a shiny… it is still an amazing game and adding these features would make it so much better! Thank you for this game that helped me complete so many Pokédex’s lol.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Good but…I like how you have so many Pokémon i wish there was more ways to get Pokémon even better if you can do some mini games in it and more ways to get Pokémon if you don’t have the switch.Version: 3.1.2
✓ HiPretty good but you need to pay for the real benifit.Version: 3.1.2
✓ I love it, but it isn’t the best.Pokémon home is an AMAZING app! I love it! But I don’t love everything about it. Here’s some pros and cons: Pros: - a free way to trade -great way to transfer a Pokémon (e.g. Lunala) to sword or shield Cons: - costs money to access Pokémon bank (yes I read that dude’s review but still!), making it a lot harder to get cool Pokémon like Lunala - allows people to offer legendary and rare Pokémon for Pokémon at UNOBTAINABLE levels ( I saw a guy with a lunala asking for a boy meowstic at level 12, which is not the level meowstic evolves at. NOT EVEN CLOSE) which is just plain unfair. Last thing is WHY DO THEY GIVE YOU THE OPTION TO SEARCH FOR MYTHICAL POKÉMON WHEN YOU CANT?!? I saw that dude’s review about asking for mythical Pokémon but how about you only have the option of asking for a mythical when you’re trading a mythical? It’s that easy. Seriously. PLEASE FIX THIS, GAME FREAK!! Thanks for reading this far!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ My Honest ReviewThis app is amazing, it makes transferring Pokémon from game to game very easy. I was able to get the Shiny Charm in my Shield game because of this. The Wonder Box is my favorite part of this app because someone in Japan gave me a Ditto and now I’m able to masuda any Pokémon I want. However there are some changes I recommend. One, make it so that you can also transfer items if a Pokémon holds it. Two, I don’t understand why trade evolutions don’t work on this app. I was traded about 2 to 3 Haunters and I was gradually disappointed that they didn’t evolve into Gengars, even though someone TRADED me the Haunters. One last thing, I am sad to inform that no matter what the Pokémon Company or GameFreak do to their games, the GTS will always be flooded with requests for Pokémon that are impossible to get without hacking. For example, I see lots of trainers that want to trade their Pokémon for a Level 1-10 Poipole. There are more examples than just Poipole but that’s just the one I see the most..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Great App!I think that Pokémon home is great and would recommend to any Pokémon fan the only problem I have is that some people on the GTS are asking for “level 1-10” zacian or zamazenta or any Pokémon which you can’t get at lower levels like level 51 to 60 zacian maybe they are just showing off but I think that you shouldn’t be able to but apart from that absolutely great!!!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Please addThe features of Pokémon home are great but it would be even better if you could search what other people are offering for your Pokémon on the gts, for example say I had a mewtwo I could look up what other people are offering for one and choose the best one instead of searching through Pokémon to see who wants mine. Thanks in advance. 😁👍.Version: 1.0.6
✓ Good and usefulIt is a good and useful app, it can connect to almost any Pokémon games and is a good way of getting Pokémon you want onto other games. I think that the multiple ways to trade provide a good chance of getting some very good Pokémon. The one thing I would change is the fact that games like Pokémon GO cannot receive Pokémon from Pokémon Home they can only send Pokémon to the app. I believe that this is something the app should change in the future so that players can also transfer their favourite Pokémon onto Pokémon GO aswell. Anyway this app certainly works well for me I have received the Pokémon I traidrd for (including 6 shiny legendaries!) My sister also has the app and has been able to transfer the limited amount of Pokémon that she has onto the game without any problems, except she can’t transfer Rattata for some reason?! I have recommended this app to almost all of my friends who have also found it very useful. To some up really the only problems I have with the app are because of other games!.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Needs about of fixingPokémon home is a great app I love using it and being able to store Pokémon and trade but people put a Pokémon that they want and the levels are to low so that Pokémon can’t be obtained at that level so could you please fix this problem by making it so that you can’t request for a legendary Pokémon that can’t be caught at the low level of 61 to 70 because glastier and spectrier can only be caught at level 75 please fix this problem soon.Version: 1.4.1
✓ PokeWHAT?This is an overall great useful app, but I do have a few update ideas: .when putting a Pokemon on the GTS, maybe there can be an option for the Pokemon that you want to be shiny? Like, for example, if you had Pikachu, and you wanted shiny Pikachu in exchange, you can select when putting the Pikachu in the GTS to HAVE to be shiny Pikachu for your Pikachu. .better graphics for the Pokemon themselves when looking at them in the ‘Pokemon’ section..Version: 1.2.0
✓ 5/5 BUT…5/5 as it’s an absolute life saver and probably the best thing ever made for Pokémon but all Pokémon should be able to go to every game every wonder trade should have a higher quality return if your putting up high level Pokémon, legendarys or shinies and you get a lvl 2 caterpie back and just an idea but could be ignored you could make your boxes like the games and so they are swipeable across so trainers can put types and shinies and legendarys all in different boxes of wanted to.. But yet again besides all that I wish I had something like this as a kid for my gameboy advance..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Great for Pokemon EnthusiastsI honestly think this is one of the greatest things that’s been invented for Pokemon. I live how there is a mobile version as well as a Switch version so that I don’t necessarily need my switch all the time to do the things I want to do with the app. There are also tons of people willing to trade, so it’s very easy for me to use my spare pokémon to get other pokémon I want. Trades can also happen vert quickly! I was shocked at how fast I completed a trade with the GTS. I think some other suggestions for the app that would make it even more beneficial are to add some other filter like nature, moves, and abilities for a specific pokemon because I find myself looking for these kinds of things as well, and if they had those additional features, I think that would take away the hassle of having to transfer or develop these pokemon ourselves. All in all, though, I highly recommend this app for anyone who is an avid fan of Pokemon and plays Sword and Shield, Let’s Go, or Pokemon Go frequently!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Please add thisI wish you could view boxes with the spaces left on the console. It would help keep the better order and easier to find specific Pokémon. Also be able to lock viewing in a specific way, I’d much rather see in Pokédex order consistory rather the newest when looking at boxes..Version: 1.2.1
✓ LEVEL SPECIFIC TRADESI rate this game 4/5 I would go 5 but I tried to get a rayquaza but all of them wanted a poipole which they wanted level 1-10 but guess what you can’t get that because in Pokemon sun and moon I remember playing you can only catch poipole at level 20 so it’s an impossible trade to do als I some kid wanted a rillaboom for a rayquaza but guess what it was from level 1-10,when you get grookey it doesn’t even evolve into its second form until level 16 so it’s impossible like most trades then I wanted to see what people wanted for a weedle and I saw a poipole trade alaLEVEL 1-10 FOR GODSAKE so please take this out I think is is a dumb idea so agai please TAKE IT OUT OF THE GAME thank you for reading now change it!!.Version: 1.0.10
✓ Filtering NeededIt’s honestly an awesome app, but I’d really love it if the app filtered impossible trades, for example when people post a Zamazenta, Zacian or any other legendaries and ask for a lvl 1-10 Dragapult. It’ll honestly help take away the unnecessary posts on gts. Because Dragapult isn’t available at all at that level, nor is a level 50-60 Zacian or Zamazenta. It should be filtered when it asks for a specific Pokémon, to only give the level it is available on. Another example. They’re not given the option to ask for a level 50-60 Zacian since it’s only available at level 70..Version: 1.0.9
✓ Love it but a big suggestionI love this app sooooo much but there is some things I would like to see in future updates. 1. Battling: It would be really cool if you could battle with your Pokémon on here. Let’s just say you took a deoxys from Pokémon ultra sun, and you couldn’t transfer it to any games. So all you could do is listen to it cry and look at its stats. So it would be cool to battle some people with my deoxys before they make a game where you can transfer deoxys to it. 2. No special Pokémon: It would be amazing if there were no special Pokémon. Let’s just say you wanted a zarude. Your friend had one and wanted to trade it to you. But he lost Pokémon sword. So he try’s to trade it to you on here but he can’t because it is special. So you never got a zarude. It would be epic if there were no special Pokémon. 3. Item transfers: What if you could transfer a zamazenta that had a rusted shield to Pokémon sword. Well you can’t. It would be epic if you could transfer Pokémon with items. Other than that this app is amazing..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Great app, Bad communityThe app is amazing and a useful way for me to navigate my Pokémon boxes rather then having to go to my switch, the only bad thing I can think of is the GTS, If you could add a feature that doesn’t allow people to request unobtainable Pokémon such as level 1-10 poipole or even 51-60 zacian I think a feature that stopped that would really help this app.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Battle forms in boxes please.Love having a large space to store Pokémon and easily trade them across generations and games as well as access them on mobile. The only thing that would make this better for me would be if we could also display battle-only Pokémon forms in the boxes, not just view them in the pokedex. I’m sure many other people who like collecting would also appreciate this..Version: 1.0.3
✓ It has pro’s and cons!It’s a great, easy to use and simplistic layout for effectively a new Pokemon bank! Thank goodness we can trade and transfer from our old devises we may not use now to the new ones we do and not lose out on all the hard work we put in, the only downside is the cost, Pokemon bank was £5 for a year or even £4 and this at £15 seems steep effectively paying for perhaps the added feature of GTS and trading online features, could we not just leave that to Pokemon go and switch?.Version: 1.0.3
✓ Good, but could be better.Honestly, the app does its job kind of half assed. They took out a lot of core functions from the trade options and gts. In the original gts, there was an option to show only Pokémon that you have available for trade. That could make things so much easier in Pokémon home. And the room trade is a mess. I’ve joined random trade rooms 13 times over and it just kicks me out saying “you left the room.” A better option for trading would be to allow an ACTUAL link trade. I think the main problem here is that app wasn’t ready to be released. It clearly wasn’t a passion project on gamefreaks part. It feels more like a rushed product to get people’s attention back on Pokémon. Sort of like a “hey! I know you wanted a storage service, so we decided to give you the beta! We’ll update it later, but here’s this for now!” All in all, half assed but gets the job done. Even though it’s half assed. And glitchy. And crashy. And rushed. Did I mention unfinished?.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Great, but Room Trade doesn’t workThe title says it all, but I’ll talk about my problem. Now, I don’t own Pokémon Sword & Shield (yet!). But I see Pokémon home as a adventure, transferring duplicates of my monsters from Let’s Go, Pikachu! over to the home. Then, I can trade for other monsters to fill my National Pokédex. Seems very simple, but I like it. But I have only one gripe: The Room Trade. The Room Trade is fairly pointless, as every time I tried it, it doesn’t work, because some random looney leaves. And it said it failed. Ta Da. And so, if you can update, and make the Room Trade easier for Free Pass players (like me), it would make it a much more enjoyable experience..Version: 1.0.0
✓ First ImpressionsNeeds some bug fixes and for sign in methods to be easier, but it works and does what it needs to. (Although 30 box spaces is not enough).Version: 1.0.0
✓ Good, useful app.The app is really good and is ideal for trading and linking Pokemon from previous games to modern ones. The only thing is that there are trolls on the GTS trade who ask for level 1-10 3rd and 2nd evolution Pokemon. (E.g. level 1 Venusaur or level 5 copperajah.) When I was new to the app I spent hours looking for a level 10 2nd stage evolution in return for a litten, to find out they are just trolls. Don’t waste your time looking for a low level 3 stage evolution in return for a zacian or Zamazenta. A good update would be to make the minimum level listing for a 3rd or 2nd stage Pokemon the level at which it evolves..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Finally yes this is AMAZINGGenius marketing idea, executed better in game than on paper..Version: 1.0.3
✓ Good but has room for improvementI’ll just start this off by saying that I thinks it’s stupid to pay for this service (there is a free version yes but it’s not very good) as we already have these games and bought a console and nso but I would be happy to look past that if I didn’t keep getting disconnected from random trade rooms which is a pain as it takes away a lot of the fun, also I would assume that this is why I can’t trade or get traded with. Aside from these issues I see a massive amount of potential for this service as an improvement from bank I’m writing this part months after just for added context, a bunch of the issues have been fixed but some still remain. The mobile Pokédex has an issue of not showing Pokémon that you have in your Pokédex on the console version which is dumb, people are able to ask for Pokémon that literally do not exist on the gts eg lvl 1-10 dragapult and those that ask for Pokémon that exist always ask for a solgaleo for their worthless magikarp. I’m not to fused with the GTS problems tbh, just plz fix the Pokédex on mobile a bunch of the legendaries that I’ve added aren’t showing up on the mobile version and it really pisses me off because now there is no way that I’ll be able to get a full Pokédex(already have the poke ball magearna, just want to be able to see which Pokémon I have added and which ones I still need to add).Version: 1.2.1
✓ Good but needs improvements 😃This app is awesome works great on the switch and it’s cool to have it on my phone to. But I ran into issues trying to link my Nintendo account to the app and I know that I’m not the only person with this issue. I hope the developers can fix this issue in the future. 👍.Version: 1.0.6
✓ AmazingTruly a piece of art.Version: 1.0.0
✓ ErrorI love this app it’s just when I try to search up a legendary it says, the specified Pokémon doesn’t exist. Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong?.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Divinest#36121st “OG”.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great so far!Keep in mind I will only briefly talk about the switch version, as this IS a review for the app itself. So far, the app is great, but could use some improvements. Firstly, you are able to store up to 6000 Pokémon which is more than enough. The ability to have multiple Pokémon in the GTS and Wonder trade (or Wonder Box as it’s called in the app) is INCREDIBLE! Although, it is inconvenient how most people just ask for mythicals, despite the fact that you can’t trade them. However, the switch version is MUCH more organised than the mobile version. If these issues were fixed, this app would get a 5 star review..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Good set upGood way to store and move Pokemon and easy to use however just one complaint, the gts. The level request means people just spam fill slots with unobtainable Pokemon meaning you have to search longer to find a trade, also you can search not to include legendaries (doesn’t work so well) but you can’t search with Pokemon you actually have? Would save a lot of time, just like a reverse search would be great to see what you could actually trade for your available Pokemon, please add these features to tidy up the gts.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Fairly good.It's useful as a trading point if you don't want to buy that in the main games. My only wish is that in the “forms” option for the GTS, I wish you could mark if you want to be traded a shiny or not. It'd be insanely helpful..Version: 3.1.2
✓ Great! But needs one or two featuresThis game is great it has many features that I have always wanted for Pokémon sword and shield but it is lacking some, such as the feature on the GTS where there is a setting where it filters the Pokémon you are searching for four people asking for Pokémon that you have. This is an excellent feature and I am surprised it is not added in Pokémon HOME. Also it would be great if we had some sort of way to battle, maybe on the switch version it would be better than the mobile version but still nonetheless we need a way to battle, especially since on the news category it says battle as a category. Overall this is a great game but there is one more thing I would like to see in it. There should be more boxes in the basic plan of the version one box really isn’t going to help people who want to save money but like to play Pokémon, especially if they might be shiny hunters or they just need extra space in their boxes. Also, people should not be able to make a possible trades such as dittos with genders or legendary Pokémon with genders which there is no way that anybody can trade unless it is hacked. These trades generally annoy me because this is people just taunting others. I’d like to see your future that removes the capability of making any sort of impossible trade. I love this app how it can transfer Pokémon to and from games and I think once it gets updated more it will just keep getting better. :3.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Literally only one thingI think this app is great it’s easy to use and only wish that Nintendo online included premium but it’s great without it I have just one gripe. I wish there was a way to filter out the more unequal gts trades. For example I needed a solos list line for my dex of sword I witch it is exclusively in shield. I found trade after trade of people asking for Charizard andantes naganedles for a level 1 psychic type and I wish there was a way to filter the asked Pokemon more than whether or not it is a legendary/ mythical for example the form it’s in like a first form starter, early bug Pokemon or version exclusive To sum up it is a brill app but the only problems is that people can write request after request for rare Pokemon in exchange for a level one Pidgey and you have no way of avoiding except scrolling past.Version: 1.0.11
✓ LOVE IT but a couple ideasHi! I love the game! I connected it to my Switch easily! Which I was really happy about. But after a while using it, I realized a few issues. First issue: people asking for Pokémon levels that you can’t get. I had this issue a lot before getting annoyed about it. (This was my most recent problem with this) I was trying to trade for a shiny Yvatul (don’t know if I spelled that right) for my Glastier. The people who had the shiny were asking for a level 61-70. And I’ve played the DLC enough to know that YOU CANNOT GET LEVEL 70 Glastier. I would love if when you were putting a Pokémon up for trade, the Pokémon you ask for it, the level you select, will actually be available. Second issue: we’ll, this is more of a suggestion than an issue. When you are asking for a Pokémon, I think it would be cool if you could select ‘shiny’. Than you could be a little more specific. That’s pretty much my Review. And yes, I really think you should add these, I’d love that, and thank you for making it so easy to trade Pokémon! Bye!.Version: 2.0.1
✓ Friend trades?? Where? But still really goodReally good and useful app although in one of the photos for the app it show a thing called friend trade, which I don’t believe exists yet and would be a very cool feature, so I week like that’s kind of click bait, idk the positives our way the negatives but yeah, also private room trades just don’t want to work at all.Version: 1.0.10
✓ Literally godI am god.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Awesome! But...Love this app! I have been a Pokemon fan for ages now and I love how I can connect my accounts! I say I am a Pokemon fan, however it started with the Pokemon go craze! I have sword and love it! Also have let’s go! Great game but (Spoiler if you haven’t finished!) I can’t beat mewtwo! 😬 Anyway was I love your games and this app has made my experience so much better! I got Pokemon go back! Love it but can’t get into my old account 😞 I made a new account and began to play! It is so fun! Thanks to this app, I can show off all my Meltan! I didn’t get them from home but from the mystery box I got, thanks to home! My brother is jealous but he knows about the app 🤷♀️ so thanks! 😆 The problem is... you can’t transfer to Pokemon Go. I don’t know why you have done this. I guess it is so people don’t get too good but I wish I could transfer Pokemon to it! Legendarys and Mythics included! It would just be wonderful! Amazing! The best thing ever! Also, I didn’t get my shiny zeraora. Maybe that reward for connecting to sword is over because I did get the starters. I just wonder if you could get me it if it is still available, if not please tell me. I would love it but if I can’t get it I don’t mind. Overall I think this is a great app and everyone who plays Pokemon should get it! 👍.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Handy, but buggyThe app is generally quite good however I have registered a lot of Pokémon on the Nintendo Switch version for my Dex, and despite them registering correctly on there, a lot of them aren’t registering on Pokémon Home properly. Today I checked my Switch, where I had registered Blastoise, Charizard and Venosaur without issue, but on the mobile version of Pokémon Home they do not appear in the Pokédex when they should..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Good app just one missing featureOverall I think this app is great. It does most thing that I personally want to use it for. Except for one thing. On the Gts, I will search for a Pokemon and see stupid offers that I cant do. I would love a feature where I can put in a Pokemon that I have and see all possible Pokemon I can trade it for. I think it would be nice to see what deals I could get for an unwanted Pokemon, rather than waiting half a century to find out that nobody will trade a Solgaleo for my level 1 Grooky.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Needs a few tweaksTo be fair I have had a good experience with the app overall. The main issues I find is that notifications don’t work and I have to reopen the app to see changes such as the gts updating. It would also be great to validate trade conditions and stop all the impossible trade requests (like Pokemon requested at impossible levels for their type). It’s so painful going through dozens of impossible trades to find a genuine one. Overall recommend the app but would be nice to see some updates. And would be great to be able to play with the Pokemon’s and maybe gain friendship or exp candies. Something of the sort.Version: 1.0.10
✓ Thank you, game freak.I am leaving this 5 star review for Game freak because of how grateful I am for Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. These installments are made to not only catch them all, but to discover a new region in the Pokémon world, new never before seen Pokémon, and unlocking the mystery of the Dynamax phenomenon. It’s shameful to see people only caring about themselves, constantly insulting you and the people who are sticking up for you all because they think you’re lazy and didn’t add in all of the Pokémon, and they yet to give you more backlash for over pricing Pokémon HOME’s beneficial features and the Expansion passes that are yet to arrive this summer and fall. I wish the community you have created were to learn to stop demanding for me. I’m already content with my Pokémon Sword copy and I am hyped to see what Pokémon HOME and the Expansion passes have to offer. Thank you for bringing these games into our world, and I’m sorry that some of your customers have to be so greedy..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Great service, needs a little workI LOVE this app. It has allowed me to complete my Pokedex and get shinies. One thing I suggest patching is all the trade requests asking for illegal/impossible Pokémon. It really clutters up the space and makes trading very clunky. Apart from that, I highly recommend this app..Version: 1.0.11
✓ Necessary, but irritatingOf course I enjoy the service and its functionality, but I really wish they would make it so that you could do more on the switch version (or make it so that you can have both open at the same time). I hate the fact that I can only do trades via the mobile version, and that I can’t move Pokémon around on mobile. But I do understand to an extent that transferring Pokémon from SWSH to home wouldn’t be feasible from your phone but still. In using the free version, I feel like I’m having to go back and forth between versions to try to accomplish anything, and if I’m trying to send something over quick to take advantage of a GTS trade, by the time I’d get the Pokémon over and get it loaded back up on mobile, that Pokémon would be gone. Trading should be available via the switch. There’s no reason it should be exclusive to mobile other than to attempt to give some necessity to having it (now once we can transfer from GO, I could see needing it but right now it’s silly).Version: 1.0.4
✓ Pokémon bank2.0I have it on my switch and it is useful 🎮🕹.Version: 3.1.2
✓ Works wellIs a great idea and has lots of potential. The GTS trading is back but is a bit broken. The trades are slow and when you search for a Pokémon you are bombarded by trades asking for Pokémon that are impossible to trade like a shaymin. please fix this as it is a complete waist of space and our time.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Love it but one problemI love this it is so useful but there is one problem I found and I still can’t fix it, I accidentally sent more Pokémon to Pokémon home from Pokémon go then I had storage for and I can’t collect them because there is more Pokémon to collect than storage space I have and I can’t only select a few to keep and I can’t refuse the transfer thing so I can no longer transfer Pokémon to Pokémon home so. please give me a solution to this.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Overall a great service, could do without the trollingI really think that this is a great service for people trying to get all of their old Pokémon into the current generation games, however, there is the issue of the trolling trades completely saturating the GTS and that makes it impossible for people to actually see the trades that can legitimately be made. For instance look at the page for Giratina and you are bound to find at least 15-40 people asking for a level 1 to 15, which is impossible unless you saved the giratina from the arceus events in heart gold and soul silver, and my guess is that there are not a whole lot of those people who own those games anymore; in other words people who actually want a fair trade are guaranteed not to find them, so if the leveling selection being adjusted for the obtainable level of legends should be adjusted to at a minimum of 70, since that’s the majority of levels you see legendaries obtained at. Other than that this is a great service overall..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Perfect :)Incredible I finally got starter Pokemon I have always wanted but better Pokemon sprites would be good but not Nesesery eny one who doesn’t like this amazing app is a BOOMER thanks Nintendo for making this but charging people for extra stuff is dumb and I don’t like it but you can enjoy the app/game to the full with out it. GET THIS APP. Nintendo also need to fix some bugs but overall 5 stars. Again thanks Nintendo :) you have made me happy !.Version: 1.0.11
✓ HUGE improvement over bank!I love using this service. It safely transferred my favorite Pokémon from Bank. I also love how it gave me more things to do like quests. But I think that it needs a bit more work. For example, I think there should be a way to transfer Pokémon to Home from GO. So far you can only transfer Pokémon through GO to Let’s go to home and I don’t like it. Another thing I would add is some sort of GTS watchdog. For example, the Pokémon company can update the app, so that the game recognizes impossible Pokémon to request. For example, I’ve seen a lot of trolls asking for Level 1-10 Poiple, which is an impossible Pokémon to get. So if this feature was added, the game would instantly remove that trade offer from the server. I think this app should also have moderators to also watch trades on the GTS and report impossible trades. Even if moderators don't become a thing, there still should be an option to report GTS trades. Otherwise, the app is SUPER helpful! Depositing Pokémon almost takes no time, and it’s fun attempting to complete the National Pokédex..Version: 1.0.11
✓ Good job, Game Freak!Great job. I’ve wanted to trade between accounts ever since Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield came out. Such a good game. Now that we have Pokémon Home, I can just do that. But not only that, if you have a phone, you can trade wherever you are! It’s amazing! I can just trade with my friends with the push of a few buttons. I have a limited time on my Switch but with this app, I can trade any time, any where. I also love how I can pull my phone out of my pocket and just look at the national dex. Except for the occasional crashes, it is awesome. As a recommendation, I think it would be cool to have some sort of Pokémon Camp or a place where you can play with your Pokémon. I think it would be fun a just add that much of an experience for Pokémon Home. Also you should somehow be able to evolve your Pokémon. I have a Pokémon that was surprise traded to me but it isn’t compatible with Sword and I wish I could somehow use EXP candies. Thanks Game Freak for making amazing content!.Version: 1.0.7
✓ Trade SystemThe trade system though rarely is amazing the majority of the time it’s completely bull with some people wanting Legendary pokemon for something like a Milotic or Gigalith. If they could somehow monitor this and make a fair trade system this app would be much more useful and fair but as it is it’s not fair..Version: 1.3.1
✓ A possible great new addition!I would absolutely love to have on the GTS a new search option. Instead of searching for the Pokémon you want I think it would be amazing to see another option which lets you put in a Pokémon and instead searching for it it searches for what people will give for that Pokémon. If that makes sense? My friends who also play agree that it would be a great addition..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Great, just a few issuesI’ve loved Pokémon ever since I could remember, but I’ve never had a chance to play a game until I got Sword. I loved it so much, and when I found out there was an app that could allow me to essentially trade for free, I was amazed. I got this app, and it’s been going great. However, there are just a few issues. First of all, it would be best if in the GTS you could only allow possible trades. I’ve been searching for a Zamazenta for a little over five months now, and all everyone wants are impossible to get, such as a level 51-60 Zacian, or a level 1-10 Poipole. That last one really ticks me off, because for every single Pokémon out there, someone wants a level 1-10 Poipole. Second, the whole can-store-from-Let’s-Go-but-not-go-back thing doesn’t make sense. I’m not a computer coding wizard, so I’m maybe just ignorant, but it’s still confusing. Last, and probably the most unimportant problem, is the premium plan. Don’t get me wrong, $16 a year is absolutely fantastic, but it’s the differences from the basic plan that really irk me. Only three Pokémon in the Wonder Box at a time? At least 6 would make it a lot better in my opinion, but now I’m just rambling. Overall, this is an amazing app I would recommend to every trainer out there, but fixing these few issues would make it a lot better. Thank you!.Version: 1.0.11
✓ Great but there’s something to fixI got this game today and I love it. It’s a great way to get Pokemon from different games but in the gts function game freak has let the trolls who like annoying other people use the “level” category to make impossible “trades” like, “I’ll give you this pokemon for a lvl 1-10 poipole or lvl 1-10 grimmsnarl.” It’s bugging and the level category should be removed. So game freak if you are looking at this review, pls fix this and stop the trolls.Version: 1.0.11
✓ Great app bad specsPokémon home is awesome but Pokémon Co. I hope you’re reading this and take this I to consideration. 1. The world of Pokémon trading is amazing and very vast but your program has a major flaw and that is communication. If I trade with a random person across the world I should be able to speak to them also. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve found someone to trade with and then it ended up being a waste of both our time just because we can’t communicate. If I could talk to the other person I’m trading with things would be much better think about that for your next game please. Secondly there’s over a 1000 Pokémon in the Pokémon universe currently for you to limit that in the year 2020 and only allow us to explore one region is ridiculous the games would be more fun and more exciting if every single Pokémon from Kanto to Galar region were available on every game from now on including being able to travel to different regions the game itself would be extremely popular and more challenging to someone who’s been playing Pokémon since they were 10. Finally Pokémon home has not allowed me to friend trade at all not sure what’s going on with that buts there’s been several updates and bug fixes still not working. Your favorite Pokémon Master SaVageOpress ..Version: 1.0.7
✓ Serverly underratedRight, all the hate this game gets is undeserved. It’s amazing that the Pokémon creators could connect these games. I love it. As well as having a GTS, it has a better wonder trade. Room trade is great as you can join many other people in a wonder trade like trade. This game, in my opinion, is perfect. However, I do have a few recommendations just to make the game better because some people *glares at one star reviews* think it’s absolute trash. 1. A link-trade like system. More like the one in sw/sh 2. A way to filter out only certain Pokémon on the GTS. 3. A shiny option for the GTS. If you had a shiny Arcanine and wanted a shiny rapidash, you could just put it in the GTS with a ‘shiny’ option on for the rapidash. 4. Take down GTS trades that have been on for a month+ (the time could change, but I think a month is good) it’d help protect from scammers and people who are doing unfair trades 5. A home only daycare so you can breed Pokémon and add them straight to home. Instead of steps, it could be ‘how long you stay on the game’ These are only recommendations and you don’t have to do them. However, if you are the Pokémon creators that are looking at this, please consider them..Version: 1.0.11
✓ Sync PokédexAs all the other issues mentioned in other reviews. I wish this app would allow you to sync all Pokédex data from your games to the national dex in the application. In order for you to have Pokémon register it requires you to add the Pokémon from whatever game to the app to complete the Pokédex. Which I understand but it’s frustrating as you have to take your Pokémon from your game to add to this to compete the dex. Transferring Pokémon can be risky at times and can’t really be done without 0 risk so the fact that you have to physically take your Pokémon from the game to add to this app is just annoying. My other gripe is that I wish I could access my games and what I have Pokémon wise from the app on phone instead of needing my switch to do it. Other then that this is an ok app wish I didn’t need to empty my transferred Pokémon every time I wanna add from Pokémon GO but it is what it is. This is one of the only apps I genuinely recommend getting premium for I use this app constantly for Pokémon GO Pokémon. Just wish it was a bit more smooth and connected to the rest of the Pokémon world..Version: 3.1.2
✓ Easy!Transferring and trading Pokémon is easier than ever! Would be great to have all features across both the switch and mobile version with a search to find what others want that you have would be even better..Version: 1.0.9
✓ This App Is Great!I have been using this to fill out my sword and shield Pokédex. Everything works well, the graphics are great and I’ve had no problems with it at all. It would be cool if they added an option where you select one of your Pokémon and see what people are offering to get that Pokémon. I really recommend this app for trading and keeping track of all your Pokémon on your phone and your switch!.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Really good but some things need fixingIt’s a great app I use it nearly every day but I think you should make it so that all of it is free I really don’t have enough room for my boxes so I don’t often store Pokémon in it and I can’t get the paid version and I want to move my account to my new phone so maybe make it so that we can pair the two devises and move the account instead of having to put your Nintendo account in there.Version: 3.1.2
✓ A really great appIt’s an awesome way to transfer and store your Pokémon, however the GTS needs rethinking. When I want to find a Pokémon I can find it, but I don’t want to trade legendaries, mythicals, or ultra beasts for a ponyta-g. Also, if you shouldn’t be allowed to request a Pokémon that can’t be traded, like a level 1-10 orbeetle..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Very good, but has one major flawI’ve been using Pokémon Home since it came out, and so far I’ve been loving it! It’s really useful for anyone that wants to transfer older pokémon to the newest games or complete their dex. I’d recommend it to anyone who needs to do that, but there’s one major problem I think should be addressed: In the app, GTS is supposed a way to receive a pokémon of your choice by offering a pokémon you can choose, correct? The only type of pokes that can’t be traded this way is mythical pokémon: they cannot be traded through GTS but it for some reason mythical pokes can still be offered. I don’t know if these pokémon can actually be revived if offered but I think it’s a problem how it’s still an option despite it being impossible to give. I’ve seen plenty of pokémon locked behind impossible trades because of this. I think that mythical pokémon shouldn’t be an option at all in GTS or allow all mythicals to be traded. (which I think would be a preferred option) Regardless of how it’s addressed, I hope it gets fixed in the near future. Thanks in advance.Version: 1.0.4
✓ Good app but could be better if Pokemon Go was compatible.This app has become my hub for my Pokemon collection. I’ve completed both Shield and Lets Go Eevee so using those titles to transfer Pokémon over to Home has been fun. I’m an avid shiny hunter and I have a lot of shinys on Pokemon Go, I’m desperate for Pokemon Go go be compatible with Pokemon Home. Home would make an excellent extension to all the Pokemon games but it has to be compatible for that and probably should’ve been on day one of release..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Great, but confusing.The app is awesome for transferring Pokémon to the switch games, but it can get very odd and inconvenient at times. My greatest concern is the GTS. I’ve been trying to GTS trade to get the gift Rotom, and have been depositing many different pokémon into the GTS and waiting for about a month now. None of the pokémon I’ve put in have ever been traded with someone else and I find those odds to be very strange, since all I ever ask for is a pikachu. And on top of that, whenever I got to search for pokémon I can never find the ones I’m offering, it’s always just the same few people. I figured it was just me not being able to see my own trades but a friend of mine also hasn’t been able to trade, and when she searches for pokémon of my species she gets the same few people that I do. I worry that I won’t be able to trade since no one can see my offers and therefor trade with me if they wanted to. If you guys could make a way for people to be able to see all of the offers that match their specifications on the GTS, it would be much appreciated..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Pretty good app but I just kinda want one feature...I always use this app to trade and get shinies cause i can't always get the pokemon i need. I just rlly wish there was one teensy feature, to help make looking for shiny pokemon easier. Make it an option that u can ask for a SHINY pokemon when depositing a pokemon in the GTS. It'll make getting shinies easier and less annoying to get. So Game Freak, please see this. I rlly like this service, I just need to be able to trade a bit easier. Game Freak, if you see this, please consider adding this. Thank you for your time..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Notice for anyone who needs to see this.The app itself is fine. The storage and transfer systems are useful and easy to use. The extra trading options on the mobile version are cool also. Would of given 5 stars if the plan for premium was cheaper, though. Although, the main reason I type this is because of all the reviews that are complaining about there being no Scarlet and Violet connectivity and not being able to transfer Pokémon to Pokémon Go. First of all, I do agree with the fact that Scarlet and Violet connectivity should of been added earlier. But what some others need to know is that The Pokémon Company have said that Scarlet and Violet connectivity are coming in Spring 2023. Another thing some people reading this may need to know is that you CAN’T transfer Pokémon TO Pokémon Go from other games. When Pokémon home was announced, it was confirmed to only let you transfer from Go to Home. Pokémon Go also says that once you transfer a Pokémon to Home, you can’t bring it back. I type this because of all the reviews I see complaining on why their not able to bring a Pokémon from, as an example, Pokémon Shield into Pokémon Go and use it there..Version: 2.1.0
✓ Awesome but full of bad trades in GTSThe user interface is quite good, though it can be free, the paid subscription is way better and it is not too upsetting since pokemon bank was also a paid subscription. The biggest downside is all the people in the GTS asking for a legendaries and mythical pokemon that can’t be traded..Version: 1.0.4
✓ So close, yet so far to greatness!Hi. I’ve been a Pokémon fan for about 3 years now and am I big big user of everything pokemon. This app is a huge breakthrough in Pokémon and I love the idea. There are however, many flaws but has much potential. The GTS is one of the best ideas ever that I have seen Pokémon come up with. While being a great idea it is also a broken and lawless system. There NEEDS NEEDS NEEDS to be a rarity system. I suggest when someone puts a Pokémon up for trade, they can only request Pokémon of the same rarity(common for common, rare for rare, legendary for legendary eg.) this would fix the absolute trash that is flooding the trading system and keep people from trolling and asking for unfair trades. Also there should not be an option to request a Pokémon that you have deemed not able to trade such as Mythical Pokémon. Another great idea would be to add a feature to specify if you want the Pokémon to be shiny. Thank you to all who read this and thank you to pokémon for everything you do. We just want the best for the franchise and it’s products..Version: 1.0.9
✓ EDIT: Not so HorribleAbsolutely horrible app. Poor instructions, bugs, unable to connect to different devices and a rushed execution led to me losing over 1700 Pokemon, including some very rare ones. But most importantly, I have submitted 3 help tickets and sent numerous emails requesting assistance with this and I have not received a SINGLE response back. So poor customer service on top of a buggy app and rushed execution and you get this monstrosity they aren’t even worried about, bc it is a necessary evil that they know pokemon fans will pay for. Well, this is one customer that will NOT pay for it again. After my 1-month membership is over, my money will no longer go towards Bank or Home. Be better Nintendo. EDIT: after months of back and forth emails, where I responded immediately and Nintendo support took weeks to respond to a single email, they restored my lost Pokemon today. Only took 2 months, but they did it, so I can’t complain too much. Thank you for working on this Nintendo and at least doing the right thing in the end. It doesn’t really matter how long it took, just that it got done in the end..Version: 1.0.11
✓ Fantastic, but still has room for improvement.I love this app, however I gave it 4/5 because I believe it has room for further potential. I feel as though the wonderbox is getting focused on the most, which is great, since I use it the most. The newest update finally gave us the option to receive all Pokémon from the box at once, instead of individually clicking on them and waiting for them to come through, one at a time. However now I feel like there isn’t much more that needs to be done for the wonderbox and instead I would love to see some GTS improvements, more specifically I would like the search filters to offer more options and be more specific, such as allowing us to search for shiny Pokémon deposited in the GTS, or ask for them in return for the Pokémon we deposited. The option to search for specific natures and pokeballs would be great too! The last improvement I’d like to see is an update to the labels that Pokémon are given. When searching for labels I would like to be able to rearrange the order of those labels for easy access to the ones I search for the most..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Level 2 Reshiram?The only problem I’ve noticed is that some people request ridiculous things on the GTS like level 5 Reshiram, so I think that they should make it so genderless pokemon in the undiscovered egg group can only be traded if they are either higher than or at the lowest level that they are obtainable, for example: in X and Y Xerneas and Yveltal are level fifty when caught but are level sixty in USUM so the lowest for them would be fifty. Also I think it’s dumb how pokemon transferred from Lets Go or Bank can’t go back. Apart from that this utility is very good..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Solid with a bad GTSThis is a great service. No ads, free with an option for a paid improved version that’s cheap and has some quality of life changes. The Pokemon look amazing, better then GO or the 3DS titles, for example the metallic pokèmon ( like metagross) are really shiny. Speaking of shinies, you can see if a pokèmon is shiny without selecting them (unlike the main seiries) and they even gave Castform’s weather forms shinies! HAIL YEAH! This is the best thing to happen to a Pokemon’s shiny since charizard in gen 3. The wonder box is fun and easy to use! And room trade is a clever idea and executed well. However the GTS is not great and filled with hacked shinies. My little brother traded his Kubfu away for a hacked shiny Blastoise. I felt horrible for him and I don’t wanna tell him it’s hacked. If you are doing this please stop! Anyway the second issue is that I can’t transfer my Pokèmon GO pokèmon over yet..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Honestly, pretty great.I was a little hesitant when Pokemon decided $16 a year when they originally did only $5 for Bank, but I'm pretty blown away from this app. Especially for free, being able to easily access trade, with friends or over internet, is absolutely great. Even with the limits of one GTS, one Wonder trade, and one box of 30, that's not even that bad for the occasional use. Also, you can only have one GTS going out, but you can trade as many Pokemon immediately via GTS if you have them. The only gripes I have with it are that you can't do trades on the Switch version, but that's more an issue with that version. Also, the GTS in general is (and kinda has always been filled with people begging for legends, UBs, and impossible Mons. Sure you can turn off legends and mythics, but Pokemon like Poipole, Naganadel, and Stakataka are littering the GTS, as well as things like Level 1-10 Cinderaces and Dragapults. Don't make it seem that it's impossible to get trades, but it takes a lot of looking. Finally, trades take a pretty long time. Wonder box trades usually take a day at most, but GTS trades vary on the trade. I had (what I thought was) a pretty reasonable trade out, and it took 10 days to go through. Overall, it may seem a bit flawed, but the entire program is great, simple, intuitive, and decently efficient. Good job for a free (with add-ons) service..Version: 1.0.11
✓ Remove asking for Mythical PokémonPokémon home is great on both console and on IOS version. I love that the GTS feature was brought back, but everyone online will ask for mythicals which aren’t tradable wether you have one or not. It would be nice if in a future update they removed the option for this or allow mythical Pokémon to be tradable, making GTS trades easier, more fair and we don’t have to see a whole list of people asking for Pokémon they can’t have. Other than that the game is great and I have no other problems with it✨(long rant).Version: 1.0.4
✓ Super convienient but one thing...Shiny gimmighoul is a very major issuse on the gts, since gimmighoul is shiny locked snd can only get the shiny from the raid, people are scamming. Please add a feature to look at the summary of the pokemon so we can see the OT, whether its shiny etc..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Good, but a few suggestions.Firstly, this is a great app! Iv’e found it useful for many things. But I do have 2 ideas that I think would help a lot, and make the app better. First, I think you should add a specification that you want whatever you are searching for to be shiny. This would make it a lot better than having to scroll through the entire list to find a shiny. Secondly, and this isn’t technically a suggestion, but I think the trades every time you reset the app. For example, I found a great deal for something I actually had, that wasn’t IMPOSSIBLE… (hint hint)… so I traded it over from my switch, and then I restarted the app to receive Pokémon I got from my switch, and when I got back to the list, it was gone! So, maybe try to update the app so you don’t have to restart it when you have to get a Pokémon from your account. That’s all!.Version: 3.0.1
✓ It’s really good but...I really enjoy Pokemon home and it’s helped me complete my Pokedex on Pokemon shield. And the wonder box is really good with the 10 Pokemon trade feature. But the only problem I have with it is items. I don’t see why you can’t make it so Pokemon can hold items in home. Like for instance. Moving Zacian from sword to shield, atm you can’t take the rusted sword over from sword to shield buy that is a much needed feature. It would be amazing if you could make it so pokemon can hold items in home. Thank you for reading.Version: 1.0.10
✓ Really Awesome, but if I might make a suggestionI’ve always loved Pokémon Bank and GTS features, and it is really cool to have all of my Pokémon from every adventure I’ve ever played in the same place. However, I think the GTS features are really lacking. I haven’t used the GTS too much since Diamond and Pearl, but I find it odd that we can’t trade mythical and special event Pokémon. For example, if I want to trade my shiny Arceus for an Ash-Greninja, this is impossible. Another thing is the search feature. It’s cool that we can just type in the name, but where do we select that we only want a SHINY version of the Pokémon we asked for? Just making everything a bit more advanced is something to think about in the future, but the app is still definitely pretty useful. Also, if I could open my Wonder Box like a gacha drawing, that would be great. Now I can bother and show my friends all of my Pokémon even without my Switch on me! Bless their souls.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Absolutely amazingAll the features are great, my only problem is that theres no Pokédex on the noble version.Version: 1.0.4
✓ This is great! 👍This is really good at keeping track of Pokémon and being able to trade them from game to game. I got this only today and it’s doing good for me! Only when I tried to get the shiny zerozora instead I got the sword and sheild starters with the special abilities. I tried again and I didn’t get the shiny. And again... If you could maybe look into this? I’m thinking that if I wait another day and try again it should show up? I am a bit sad that I couldn’t get the zerozora though since the shiny is amazing! ( and it would be my first shiny 😃 ) I hope nobody else is experiencing this glitch thing and have their shiny zerozora! I’m in the uk so is there much of a difference between when we get it depending on where we are in the world? Anyhoo how, great job on all the games and good luck with the crown tundra! Keep up the good work ❤️ It’s been a day and I’ve tried again at getting the shiny. Still not working even though I tried changing region and putting Pokemon back into the boxes. Is there something I’m missing? Do no more than one pokemon need to be in the box? Please help me! ☹️.Version: 1.2.0
✓ Pretty goodIt does what it says it does and does it well. But I was hoping for more interaction. Pokemon go let’s you interact with your Pokemon. There are some Pokemon that once they’re on here are stuck here for the foreseeable future. I want to interact with them. Maybe even online battles. All the models are animated. Maybe some Pokemon camp style interaction. Something to make it worth the money. Also with some of my mythical Pokemon on here what assurances do I have that they’re safe? It does worry me. Other than that this is a decent service that does what it sets out to do at the most basic level..Version: 1.0.4
✓ Good but inconsistentWhy the GTS still doesnt allow mythicals is betond me, room trades dont work - no matter how much i try and trade online so i can finish the pokedex it wont let me - needs fixing ASAP. Also the wonder box takes longer than individual wonder trades. But, other than that the labels are a great filing system, sorting and filtering pokemon makes searching much quicker (although i wish there was a hidden abilities), being able to GTS multiple pokemon is great and doing wonder box is a great feature as i can just let them wonder trade in the background instead of actively in the game..Version: 1.0.7
✓ It has one serious flawPokemon home is great, it’s helped me fill out the majority of my pokédex and sure, not being able to chat with those your trading with is a bit annoying, but bearable. The one major flaw is that people can ask for a specific level for the pokemon they want. This feature has been abused by many users in asking for pokemon in the level 1-10 category when its impossible to get that pokemon at that level, if it’s either through the level at which the pokemon evolves or that it’s simply a legendary pokemon that cant be caught at any level lower then the one you get it at in the game. This flaw causes a chain reaction of events where the system is flooded with requests for the impossible to get pokemon, all this leads to is trades that will never be completed and disappointment. It’s a truly disappointing flaw too because it wouldn’t even be that hard to fix for an industry as big as pokemon, all it would take is a few adjustments so that Pokemon that are unavailable in lower levels can’t be requested in those lower levels..Version: 1.0.10
✓ So Happy it’s out!!I lost my 3ds like 2 years ago and haven’t seen it since. Once I unlocked premium I was able to transfer all my Pokémon from Pokebank that I haven’t see in years!! I didn’t even have a subscription anymore but they were transferred through my Nintendo ID. ALL MY SHINIES ARE SAVED!! To all the kid complaining about Nintendo trying to wallet drain us, it’s literally 20$ after tax, like chill. I think this is a great addition to keep all my Pokémon in one area and it’s super user friendly! Thanks Nintendo!!.Version: 1.0.0
