Strange that nobody created this thread yet. So here it is. Tell us your impressions of the Pokemon Press Conference.

Pokemon Home is a great idea and very similar to my own idea for a successor/upgrade to Pokemon Bank. I am really curious how they are going to handle Pokemon coming from Go and Let's Go to the main series titles where stats, natures and abilities are quite different. I suspect it will be only Go/Let's Go --> Sword/Shield.

Pokemon Masters seems interesting. It looks like they are taking a route similar to Fire Emblem Heroes. I will be curious to see how it interacts, if at all, with Go and Home.

Pokemon Sleep is strange and if it is in fact, GPS based, I don't see it working. I have a pretty new smartphone with a major provider, but even still, when I am standing still the GPS still thinks I am walking vaguely in circles over a few meters. So I have no idea how that could work. But even if the tech works great, I still don't understand what the point is or what the app is meant to accomplish.

@Heavyarms55 Im very curious about Pokemon Masters, it seems will be fun. And if you are a pokemon fan, having the most iconic characters from the mainline game in one single place is soooo dope. Also i have pretty high spectatives on Pokemon Home, becuase now i can keep shiny hunting in Lets Go without the fear of lose my sparkly friends 😄.

Information and data. Information in some contexts is just as valuable if not moreso than money. I'm not some tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist but from where I'm sitting that's the whole entire point of Pokémon Sleep and to some extent Go as well. Monitor your habits, how much you sleep, walk, exercise etc etc in the guise of what seems to be a Pokémon themed alarm clock lol!

@redd214 Anyone who has a smartphone has to know all that info is monitored. Thing for me is, I don't care. If they want to know what time I go to bed, what I eat for dinner where I walk around and what smut I enjoy: let them. I don't really care. Anything I want truly private, I don't use a phone for. lol

@Venus_Adept Yeah, I gotta admit, I was slightly worried they wouldn't bring Bank to Switch and I would lose my collection that stems all the way back to the GBA titles. Well, not lose them, but not be able to bring them to the new games, which would be almost the same.

I really want to know how they are going to handle the stat changes from Go/Let's Go to the main series titles. If we can manipulate it to have desired natures I am gonna LOVE bringing my shiny Pokemon from Go/Let's Go to Sword and Shield, EV and Hyper training them (assuming that is still in the game, which I hope it is) and using them in online battles!

Pokemon Masters - i've already said that the game looked promising and i'll try it out once it releases.
Pokemon Home - I'm gonna wait for more details before trying this out. i'll probably use it to send my Pokemon from Pokemon Sun to Sword or Shield. once i'm at the right level on Sword/Shield.
Pokemon Sleep - Not sure how i feel about this one. i think i'll skip it, as i don't need it for sleeping. if it adds something to let me used the pokemon for other games, that would be pretty cool.

I'm not interested at all with Handphone games.
But if Pokemon Home is a "Pokemon Bank" for Nintendo Switch, i might consider it.

@Anti-Matter Well that is what it is. And for the moment it seems like we will need Home to bring Pokemon from our 3DS(and older systems) games to Sword and Shield. Don't think of it as a game, think of it as a utility or a tool.

Okay so now that we have some details about Home, let's revive this thread and talk about it. I'm sure I'll get attacked for saying this, but I really like Home. From what I've seen so far, I think it's a great idea and I have absolutely no problems with the price. My only bummer so far is the lack of Pokemon Go support at launch. I am very ready to send my many extra community day shiny Pokemon into Home, so I can enjoy them in Sw/Sh and clear up space in Go. I suspect Niantic is more to blame than GF - because they've had a lot of issues with server problems in the past. I've experienced several unplayable community days and their big Pokemon Go events have had problems too.

There was talk about Home also having mini games, but I don't know if that was speculation, or it was officially mentioned somewhere. Anyone know?

I didn't hear anything about mini games, but I hope they rev some up for Pokemon sleep (the Pokemon game which i'll play competitively for once).

I made Sheldon & Mr. Randoms back on Flipnote Hatena, now i'm a kangaroo mod that has a funko pop collection!

I'm not keen politics since that stuff is spooky, I'd rather watch SpongeBob over Fox News anyways!
