Players can finally transfer their Pokemon intoPokemon Scarlet and VioletviaPokemon Homenow, and some fans have noticed that in-game auctions are now making certain rare items available depending on which Pokemon have been obtained in the game.Pokemon Homecompatibility has been a long-awaited feature forPokemon Scarlet and Violet, and more than half a year after the games released, fans can finally bring their older Pokemon to the Paldea region.
Transferring Pokemon from older titles is nothing new, with such a feature existing in some capacity as far back as the Generation 2 games. The process has evolved far beyond the use of a traditional Game Boy Link Cable, though, with the paid service known asPokemon Homenow allowing fans to transfer their favorite Pokemon between Nintendo Switch titles while also providing a cloud-based space where up to 6,000 Pokemon can be stored. A similar service known asPokemon Bankwas the functional predecessor to this application on the 3DS, and whilePokemon Bankrecently became free to use, the termination of the Nintendo eShop service for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS means thatPokemon Bankis now unobtainable for fansthat didn’t already have it installed.

While many of the more recent Switch-exclusive titles haveintroduced a bunch of new Pokemon, the ability to transfer old friends from the 3DS to the Switch is undoubtedly a crucial feature for players who have a soft spot for some of the olderPokemongames. SomePokemon Scarlet and Violetfans have noticed that the game’s auctions are now selling certain rare items in wake of the games' recent connectivity withPokemon Home, including items such as the Adamant Crystal and Lustrous Globe which allow the Legendary Pokemon Dialga and Palkia to transform into their Origin forms. One post on Reddit shared by the user reverse_typewriter shows the Lustrous Globe on offer at the Porto Marinada auction.
A number of other items are available via this auction which benefit many other Legendary Pokemon obtainable in recent games, though fans should keep in mind that auctions will only offer certain items if the associated Legendaries are present in their PC. WithPokemon Homeversion 3.0.0finally bringing support forPokemon Scarlet and Violet, fans are now able to bring their Hisuian Pokemon to a more modern time, though players are still able to usePokemon Hometo return these Pokemon to their original games if they wish.
Thoughmost species of Pokemon can be moved toScarlet and Violetwithout any issues, some of the creatures remain unobtainable in the Gen 9 games due to them simply never being coded into the modern titles. The effective removal of the National Pokedex has been a major source of complaints from the community sincePokemon Sword and Shield, though many players hold onto hope that their favorite critters will return someday.
