Pokemon 2019 Press Conference - roundup: Pokemon Sleep and Pokemon Masters mobile games announced

Deleted User · May 29, 2019

Wait I'm so confused. If Pokémon Home is like Pokemon Bank, then what good is it on a smartphone when your savegame is on Switch?
I'm guessing there will be a Switch version or the ability to upload and download Pokémon from your account will be built into SwoShi, thus making this app redundant.

Hoping that the Pokemon Home mobile app communicates with the Switch games over bluetooth (like Pokemon Go Park in Let's Go does) rather than online, that way I can use it on my hacked switch.

It's good enough for us pokemon players who don't own a Nintendo'S Witch yet

Because it is going to work with Pokémon go as well as the let’s go titles and the up coming sword and shield

by the sounds of it Pokemon home = Pokemon bank for switch? am I getting this right?

NFates · May 29, 2019

I can already imagine the 12-hour long streams of people grinding Pokémon Sleep.

For smartphones, 3DS and Switch afaik, as it's cloud based. But basically, yes.

Pokemon Home lets you store Pokemon GO/Let's Go pokemon AND Sword/Shield pokemon?

Yikes. I hope this doesn't mean Sword and Shield and similar in systems and gameplay to those. I wanted another mainline title and traditional setup.

Yea, but it needs to connect to your Switch save in some way, and we already have transferring Pokemon from Go via bluetooth in LGPE.

It honestly seems like something that should be a built in feature in Go and Swoshi, at least for the uploading and downloading of Pokemon into the game. I guess maybe the app is to manage your cloud boxes, which makes me wonder if there'll be a browser version too.

Personally I never really bothered with bank because I never raised any Pokemon worth keeping and I like to raise a new team when I start a new game.

Will we still get any news on Pokemon in this E3?

Rahkeesh · May 29, 2019

Home is also a Switch App. Expect it to work across all the coming Switch Pokemon games, that's partly why its a separate thing. The other part is there's probably huge overlap between it and the mobile version.

One nice use for the mobile app is trading. So you don't need to lug your switch around everywhere just to trade locally.

The only thing this tells me is that they are running out of idea's, throwing poo at the wall and seeing whats sticks

Deleted User · May 29, 2019

For a clearer idea of what the roundup is talking about.

Looks like Pokemon Home will be accessed via both a Switch and Mobile app. Unsure how it will connect to Pokemon Bank though, perhaps the app will have a feature to login to your NNID to import your Pokemon from Bank.

I wonder how Ghost Pokemon are handled there. Ghost, death, and spirits aren't allowed in games in China.

I wish mobile games would stop getting pushed so much. Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather pay once for a game that's actually a full experience than get something that's "free" but watered down and full of microtransactions. Unfortunately, companies are realizing that for some reason, mobile games are where all the money is at. Well, they exist, and even if I don't care about them that's fine I guess. I just hope we don't eventually lose console gaming entirely like it seems we will.

Also. Pokemon Sleep? w h a t

oo im excited

Xzi · May 29, 2019

Pokemon Sleep is the only one that made me say 'WTF,' everything else sounds fine. Guess we should've expected it to be all smartphone stuff since they still have a Pokemon direct and E3 to fill with content.

MarkDarkness · May 29, 2019

Sleep...

pedro702 · May 29, 2019

Yes, seems to be Pokemon bank for Switch games/PoGo. So Pokemon from Let's Go will apparently transfer to Sword and Shield, inheriting all the necessary 8th gen additions in the process I would imagine. Oh, would also mean access to gen 2 Pokemon in gen 8 from PoGo.

Ericthegreat · May 29, 2019

I'd be okay with this if there's an actual story. And the Pokemon aren't caught by buying gatcha balls.
