Pokemon Home Is Now Available On Nintendo Switch, iOS, And Android



Pokemon Home is now available to download on Nintendo Switch. The cloud-based subscription service, which allows you to transfer Pokemon from previous games into Pokemon Sword and Shield among other features, was previously announced for a February 2020 release window, but the specific date was not confirmed.

Like Pokemon Bank, Pokemon Home allows you to store Pokemon you've caught across various games. There are two versions of Pokemon Home: the Nintendo Switch app and the mobile app. The mobile version has distinct features, including trading, and is a companion app to the Switch one rather than an alternative. The Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS versions are all now available to download.

There are also two pricing plans for Pokemon Home overall. The free version includes most of the service's features but in a limited capacity, while the paid version gives you perks like added storage. One month of Pokemon Home Premium costs $3, three months is $5, and 12 months is $16. See the full breakdown of both pricing plans for details.

To commemorate the launch of Pokemon Home, The Pokemon Company is offering a free month of Pokemon Bank, the storage service on 3DS--as well as the related Poke Transporter app, which is used to migrate Pokemon from DS games over to Bank. Pokemon Bank typically costs $5 USD per year, so this promotion means that players looking to transfer Pokemon from their 3DS games via Bank to Pokemon Home won't have to pay for two (or any) subscription fees to do it.

Make sure to read our feature on everything we know about Pokemon Home, which includes pricing details, information on how to trade, and more all in one place.

Yakuza had not reaped the popularity it has today, still moderate but enough for Sega to trust his success even in the West. Its original launch was delayed for years, even doub...

Yakuza 5 Has One Of The Best Opening Chapters; Remaster Is Out Now On PS4

Kiryu didn't choose the yakuza life, the yakuza life chose him. A couple years ago, I got drawn into Kazuma Kiryu's world, the world of Yakuza games, being completely enamored by charismatic characters and the allure of rowdy city streets. The series' pitch-perfect blend of gripping melodrama and absurdist humor is as consistent as kindhearted tough-guy Kazuma Kiryu getting suckered into his former gang's illicit business. With Yakuza 5 Remastered out now, alongside the whole Yakuza Remastered Collection, the entire saga is now playable on PlayStation 4. Each entry was memorable in its own right, but Yakuza 5's opening chapter is the one that will forever be burnt into my memory. On a calm winter night in Fukuoka, about 700 miles from his home turf of Kamurocho in Tokyo, Kiryu's chaotic life is shown to have seemingly settled down again. He's a cab driver assuming a new identity under a different name, appearing to have put decades of his life ...
