Pokémon Home Brings All Your Pokémon Under One Online Roof
The Pokémon brand is as strong as ever (with Go continuing to do well, the success of Sun and Moon and the upcoming Sword and Shield, and Detective Pikachu doing well at the box office), and The Pokémon Company is striking while the iron remains hot, announcing a new app called Pokémon Home that makes the critters you can catch in just about anything Pokémon-related valuable.
Pokémon Home, available on smartphones starting in 2020, is an app that lets you store the Pokémon you catch in a single online home. You can upload Pokémon using the 3DS Pokémon Bank app (which itself lets you upload Pokémon from several different Pokémon games), Pokémon Go, The Pokémon Let's Go games, and the upcoming Pokémon Sword and Shield.
The goal of Pokémon Home was to give every Pokémon you catch some sort of value, and you can also trade anything in Pokémon Home with friends locally or online. You can also trade Pokémon with random strangers on the internet.
Today The Pokémon Company also announced a new Detective Pikachu game coming to Switch, Pokémon Sleep, Pokémon Masters, the Pokémon Go Plus Plus, and that its line of shirts in collaboration with Original Stitch are coming to North America And Europe.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
