[Update:Pokemon Home Legendssupport (andBDSP) is just around the corner, as the official Pokemon account has informed users of aHomemaintenance period later today at 5:00PM PT. It’s expected that sometime in the early morning of May 18, US time, the 2.0 update will be completed.]
[Update #2:It’s complete! You can now update toHome2.0.]
Pokemon Home Legendssupportis on the way, along with the addition ofBrilliant DiamondandShining Pearl(BDSP), anew blog has announced.
The Pokemon Company is calling this “Home 2.0,” and in short, all roads will lead toHomenow; including the prior supportedPokemon Sword/Shield, Let’s Go Eevee/Pikachu, Pokemon Go,and thePokemon Bank, on top of the aforementioned new additions.
Here’s a quick rundown of how boxes will be filed:
“Until now, the only Pokedex inPokemon Homewas the National Pokedex. But starting from version 2.0.0, the Pokedex from each game will be added. Pokemon in your Boxes inPokemon Homewill be registered in their respective game’s Pokedex after version 2.0.0 ofPokemon Homeis installed. Pokemon that aren’t in a Box when the ver. 2.0.0 update is installed, such as those that have been traded away, will not be registered.”
Interestingly, when Pokemon are transferred to or fromPokemon Legends,they will be found in “strange balls”due to the lore differences and time jump considerations. Those are pretty much the only provisos you need to be aware of.
And here’s the list of promo items you’ll get:
A final date has not been announced, but many expect it to arrive this month, which would be inline with similar announcement timelines.
