There's most certainly been troubles behind Home's production, I mean one of the points of Home is that you can access it from a phone yet the phone Pokemon game can't access it at launch

Sword & Shield **Official news only** DLC Crown Tundra 22nd October
- Thread starter DHR-107
- Start date
That is immensely disappointing
There's something definitely going on.
I've got asked to try and join a few online stuff with transferred stuff.
My gen 7 Zekrom and Lunala can join raids normally, but my event Shiny Mewtwo is blocked from joining.

Looks like Eternal Floette is still in Home but with a weird asterisk to it:
The switch version doesn't have a render for it, but does still recognize it
The mobile version https://nintendowire.com/news/2020/02/12/pokemon-home-reveals-eternal-flower-floette/ however
Does still have its model (& its shiny model, even).
Makes me wonder if they're finally going to softly remove it, with the mobile version having the model just being a left over they didn't clean up, or if they just messed up and forgot to include its render (and such). I'll be pretty curious if Flabebe is in the DLC and what happens to Eternal. As a reminder, Eternal Floette not only got a render in Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon but a unique dex entry!

This makes me think the legality checker in SWSH is the problem and we just hadn't seen it until now. Did they not just use the same checker as every other game up to & including Home itself? And then also, not think to update it when Home came out??
I want to say it gets updated every time Bank does, so I think that's about right?
Incidentally, I asked about how Totem Pokemon are handeled and it seems they're treated as normal Pokemon. Neither Home or SWSH will treat them as large.
And it seems like the...."glitch?" I forgot about, that the USUM-exclusive totems (ie: Togedemaru, Ribombee, etc) still cannot be transferred to Bank. So if you have a collection of those, better keep them together.
And you'd be right, but probably not in the way you're expecting.
Would not be surprised if Gigantamax Melmetal would be used to further sell the Isle of Armor expansion since they seemingly are going to let you have normal Pokemon able to Gigantamax.
Blastoise looks SO satisfied, lol.
So HOME does have a host... and it's another form of Oak? Like, what? Is this another cousin like Samson? Is it being implied this is some kind of alternate universe Oak? Not sure how I feel about this, it's like they're trying to Gen I pander but be "hip" about it. It's like the Pokemon version of:
While I wouldn't have done Brigette again, I do agree with them using an older Pokemon character that has since not been used. My pick was Hayley for Pokemon Ranch:
What, why?
At least this one makes more sense... and of course its the mobile version that has the better gift than the Switch version.
Like, seriously GF, just make some mobile games and get it out of your system (and in the meanwhile let someone else make a core series game that is actually interested in making a more indepth experience...).
You'd think GF would have made a bigger deal about HOME being out or gave us the exact date. GF can't even corporate shill right.
Which kinds of defeat the purpose of the Necrozma fusions. Maybe they'll make Ultra Necrozma a Gigantamax-like transformation? Necrozamax?
Ooh, maybe the Isle of Armor expansion will give us a way to Eternamax Eternatus!
Hut of brown, now sit down.
forgot to post this earlier but who cares about any of this home stuff new pmd dx trailer lmao
Eh not really. The fusions still have different stats than Lunala or Solgaleo, and access to Photon Geyser.
It crashes continuously. I also think another update is likely, group trades can't work properly it seems, and wondertrading is taking certainly too much time.
I wish they'd done this more. It could have been an interesting way to bring back popular alternate forms, and "changes stats, ability or even typing while Gigantamaxed" is both interesting and completely unexplored so far. All we get are different moves which are usually inferior to their standard counterparts.
But yeah, the Necrozma forms are reasonably separate Pokemon on their own, partly because of stat distribution but more because they have very different movepools to Solgaleo and Lunala.
Gotta say, though, giving Necrozma Dragon Dance was a weird design choice if they had no intention of bringing back its dragon type form.
Well if you think of it, Necrozma fusions work almost identically to Kyurem's, just also had the extra effect of being able to
It's not to exclude that at some point they introduce a key-item that acts same as the Z-crystal and lets Necrozma transform in ultra-form.
Or even make Z-moves or Megas return later in a separate entry or remake.
HOME casually rearranging the stats of my Eternatus... even going as far to knock off a flawless IV...
Is this the case when you take it out of home and back into SwSh?
Good question - i've not checked. Also had problems transferring from LGPE (Bank and SwSh work fine).
Not tried to connect since the new update. Mobile version seems fine otherwise.
This seems like a much worse bug than the Hyper Training thing, since it actually permanently weakens your Pokemon -- especially if you're using it to breed.
Great. Now, the only thing missing being messed up are EVs.
For the time being, given that there are AT LEAST this issue and the Hyper Training thing, I would caution anyone against sending anything competitively relevant to HOME without a back up plan.
Like, breed extra mons on cartridges, keep the flawless parents out of Jail and into the games, and send the new offspring to HOME. That's it. Better safe than sorry.
I've checked all of my transferred Pokemon and can confirm my Eternatus is an isolated case. My collection includes ~650 from Bank, and a handful of hatched and soft reset Pokemon from Gen 8.
So it seems absed on teh games you have linked. I just have Sword, so I get Sword & SHield challenges. Or "Research Tasks", as the game calls them. It wants you to transfer Pokemon over ot bank themed to an area. For example, grab a Blipbug, Rookidee and Skwodent for Route 1. Catch Munna, Weezing-G and some other pokemon for the slumbering weald. Seems there's one for every area of the game, and some others that do have overlap with Mobile Home like put in the 3 starters.
i've completed about 4 of them (I dont have the premium so i'm doing this the slow and annoying way) but you dont seem to get anything. Though the Galar Starters does get you a sticker in Mobile, the others dont have anything and I dont even get those home points near as i can tell.
30 Home Points equals 1 Battle Point, and... that's it
