 Why do we always get the best news drop in when I'm at work and I can't cover it straight away? Anyway, hello friends, welcome to today's video. We are here, we have finally had some news updates, official confirmation about Pokemon Home from the Pokemon Company. So let's dive straight into it. As you can see earlier today, the Pokemon Company did put this tweet out. So the hashtag Pokemon Home update you've been waiting for is almost here, Trainers. You'll soon be able to link Pokemon Home with Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, Pokemon Shining Pearl and Pokemon Legends Arceus get all the details here. So if we hop over to the page that's linked, all these links will be down in the description if you want to check them out in your own time and peruse the details. We can see now the confirmation. We haven't gotten a date confirmed one when the release will be, but we know we're very soon with this news dropping. So expect it pretty soon. You can see the new Pokemon Home update to add recent Pokemon Game compatibility. So we'll be Pokemon Home 2.0.0. The new update will be arriving soon, adding the ability to link Pokemon Legends Arceus, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Trainers Pearl along with Pokemon Sword, Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu, Let's Go Eevee and Pokemon Go. So we've got compatibility through everything. There's this nice kind of art here that shows you that all these games that we have currently in the Gen 8 kind of bubble can all be linked to Pokemon Home. Are we classing? Let's go Pikachu and Eevee in Gen 8. I don't know. We're going to group it in there for this video anyway. So we'll go through a few of the details here. Pokemon Legends Arceus, Brilliant Diamond, Trainers Pearl and Pokemon Sword and Shield will be mutually compatible with Pokemon Home and you'll be able to deposit and withdraw Pokemon to and from each of these games. For example, you'll be able to take a Pikachu you caught in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield into Pokemon Legends Arceus and Brilliant Diamond or Trainers Pearl. I'm presuming that you're only going to be able to transfer Pokemon through these games that are already pre-existing in the game. So I'm presuming that you're not going to be able to put a Dragapult into Brilliant Diamond, Trainers Pearl or into Legends Arceus because that Pokemon isn't in their respective Pokedexes. Just to note otherwise though, please note that transferring Pokemon to a game they were not originally caught in may cause certain changes to non-moves level and what type of Pokeball they were caught in. We'll get into the Pokeball bit in a minute, but that's kind of self-explanatory, right? We're going into a different game like Legends Arceus. They're going to have different move sets to what they would do in Pokemon Sword and Shield and Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, Trainers Pearl has been a remake in these games or kind of set in the past. Arceus set in the very past, but you know, you get the gist of it. So there's the nice graphic there just shown like we've already seen and then we go on until now. The only Pokemon in Pokemon Home was the National Pokedex. So that's all we had, but starting from version 2.0.0, this update, the Pokedex from each game will be added. So that's super nice. So we'll have a Pokedex from Brilliant Diamond, Trainers Pearl, Pokemon Sword and Shield and then Legends Arceus as well. I don't know if there's any room for a kind of Pokemon Go decks or whether it'll just be those three games. I'm not sure. Well, it'll be interesting to find out. I'm sure we'll get more information closer to the update or when the update comes out. Pokemon that aren't in a box when the vision 2.0.0 update is installed such as those that have been traded away will not be registered. You can obtain new stickers to edit your profile by completing achievements in the mobile device version of Pokemon Home. These achievements can be completed by meeting certain conditions. Now we get on to the juice, the strange ball. Since Pokemon Legends Arceus takes place in the distant pass of the world of Pokemon Pokeballs from other games do not yet exist. So when a Pokemon caught in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, Ocean and Pearl, Pokemon Sword and Shield or transferred to Pokemon Legends Arceus, they will appear in strange balls. Those are the green balls. I'll throw one up on the screen right now. So you can definitely know what one of those is. They're quite nice looking Pokeballs. Actually, I do like them. Likewise, when Pokemon caught in Pokemon Legends Arceus are transferred to only Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. They will also appear in the strange balls. So that's coded in in BDSP, but it will not be coded in in Sword and Shield. So if you are transferring a Pokemon from Legends Arceus to Pokemon Sword and Shield, it will just appear in a regular Pokeball because the strange ball is encoded in there. So just bear that in mind if you're kind of wanting to keep your Pokemon in a strange ball because I'm sure for Gen 9 when we get Skull and Violet and that compatibility is kind of integrated, the strange ball will probably carry over. So you don't want to trade a Pokemon to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl from Legends Arceus and then into Sword and Shield because then it will get the Pokeball and we don't know. There's no confirmation here to say whether or not if you transfer that Pokemon back to Pokemon Home, it'll go back into a strange ball or not. So who knows and then we've got a bit more linking to Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. You can check on the condition of a Pokemon deposit from Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl to Pokemon Home as well as their other details. Okay. And linking Pokemon Legends Arceus you can view the effort levels of Pokemon deposited from Legends Arceus to Pokemon Home as well as other details. I'm assuming that means like alphas and shinies and other things like that. So that that'd be pretty nice if that is the case. The objective of Pokemon Legends Arceus to help compile the Hissui region's first Pokedex as such the National Pokedex in Pokemon Home will update its Pokedex entries based on your completion of the Pokedex in Pokemon Legends Arceus. Save data. So that's pretty cool. That is really cool. That's a nice little feature that they're doing. So there is that real tie in there and I do like that they're doing that. If a Pokedex entry in Pokemon Legends Arceus is incomplete you will not be able to see that Pokedex entry in Pokemon Home. So you have to complete it in Pokemon Legends Arceus. So there's that extra incentive just to have that kind of completion in Pokemon Home. And then we get on to the special gifts that were rumored in our previous video. So to celebrate Pokemon Legends Arceus, Brilliant Diamond Shannon Pearl and Sword and Shield compatibility with Pokemon Home, you will be gifted special Pokemon when you link each of each game to Pokemon Home. When you deposit a Pokemon from Pokemon BDSP to the Nintendo Switch version of Pokemon Home, you will receive a Turtwig, Chimchart and Piplop with hidden abilities as a mystery gift in the mobile device version of Pokemon Home. The same thing happens if you kind of send a Pokemon from Legends Arceus to Pokemon Home. You'll get a mystery gift in the mobile version, but this time it will be Cyndaquil, Oshawaot and Rowler as well with maximum effort values. It doesn't mention here about their hidden abilities. So that'll be interesting, but get maximum effort values. So that's good as a mystery gift. So there's the six Pokemon that you're going to get from just being able to kind of transfer Pokemon from these games into Pokemon Home. And this is just basically the news that it is on its way. Very exciting though. And finally getting that confirmation that we had really in that room a leak from Centro leaks over just over a week ago now. So everything kind of spot on. You would assume what they were tweeting out is kind of correct. Their source must be pretty good. So that's nice to know. And the Alpha hasn't been confirmed yet, whether that like a hundred percent confirmed, it hasn't been confirmed a hundred percent, then it will appear in Pokemon Home. But the information, the vagueness of the statement saying that other details from Pokemon Legends Arceus will be able to be viewed. I think that says a lot. I think you really think, well, what else would they be talking about there? So I'm assuming it's going to be alphas. I'm not a better man, but I would put money on it. If it was. So I think it's all good news. We're just waiting now on that official release date. And as soon as we get the information on that, I will drop a video just doing an update of that. And hopefully the next video is actually just going over the actual update to Pokemon Home and the compatibility and then getting these gift Pokemon and showing you how things work and what you can do to integrate all these different things and transfer Pokemon between all these different titles that we've now got access to. So I hope you've enjoyed the update, friends. Thank you so much for tuning in. Sorry, this one is a little bit late. As I mentioned at the start of the video, I was at work today in the office. So when it dropped, I didn't have the chance to just drop the video straight up. I would have liked the opportunity to, but I'm trying to keep on top of things as best I can and I appreciate all the support. So thank you so much for watching the video. Have a great rest of your day and I will catch you all for another video on the channel very soon. So until then, take care. Bye bye.
