A lot of Pokemon games are now available to be played all over the world. Though there are tons of Pokemon games to choose from, they only share one goal. You have got to 'catch 'em all.'
Catching all types of pocket monsters available on the game is no easy task even for Pokemon masters. However, if you are that person that is convincingly great on playing any Pokemon game franchise, one thing that you will definitely love is to showcased all of your collected Pokemon and store them in one cloud.
How we all wish this is possible!
It turns out, Pokemon creator heard all your prayers and finally launched 'Pokemon Home' -- a cloud service that can store all your caught Pokemon from different games you play on the franchise.
Sadly, you might have to wait for a couple more weeks until it is fully operational. Still, it is better late than never.
Store 'em All on your own Cloud Transfer Service Called 'Pokemon Home'
According to the announcement on Nintendo Direct this week, Pokemon Home is ready to be used in the month of February.
All Pokemon players from various Pokemon game franchises such as Pokemon GO, Pokémon Bank (the Nintendo 3DS storage system), Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!, and Pokémon Sword and Shield can have access to Pokemon Home wherein they can transfer all of their pocket monsters in one place.
On the other hand, players can only transfer Pokemon using one game, which is the Sword and Shield-- so if you are not yet playing this game, you might as well try it now to gain access to using all your stored pocket monsters fully.
Which Pokemon Can Be Transferred to Cloud?
As of today, Pokemon Company has not yet released any information regarding on which pocket monsters are allowed to be transferred to Pokemon Home or Pokemon Sword and Shield.
However, during Nintendo's Treehouse Live presentation at E3 2019, Pokemon producer Junichi Masuda might give an idea that only the Galar region Pokémon will be able to be transferred into Sword and Shield.
Pokemon Home-- Years on the Making
Though a lot of Pokemon players are now excited to catch more pocket monsters since Pokemon Home is soon to be functional on Feb., this is not the first time we've heard about Pokemon Home.
In fact, even before Pokemon Sword and Shield came to our gaming consoles, the company already teased its players back in May 2019 with a Twitter post explaining the said cloud service that will "allow you to bring over the Pokémon that you've shared adventures with throughout your journey."
Guess now's the time to celebrate this huge announcement and wait further until February comes.
Sword and Shield Will Take Over Two Other DLCs Soon
As a part of the announcement of Pokemon Company, Sword and Shield are also set to have an additional two other downloadable content soon named 'The Isle of Armor' and 'Crown of Tundra.'
In these DLCs, Galarian Pokemon Slowpoke can be seen, and the other 200 more Pokemon are scheduled to appear once these happened in June and fall 2020.
Looks like Pokemon started their year right, isn't it?
