La app no abre en mi iPhone

Llevo días haciendo de todo y no abre

Good game but bad missions and I got a male pikachu!!!

So I got into the game and played it and the missions were boring and hard but I got a male pikachu and I love pikachu.

DOESNT WORK

Downloaded for the first time and upon launch there’s a Japanese error prompt that doesn’t go away.

INCREÍBLE

Si los Pokémon son compatibles, ufffff, ya los tengo y si compro el dlc ya estarán registrados

Maintenance

Why does it saw that when trying to log in

Punished for using their GTS

I received two Pokémon through Pokémon HOME’s official GTS, only to discover that the same system now refuses to let me trade them. Support confirmed that altered game data was detected, but offered no solution, despite the fact that HOME itself allowed both trades.

The worst part? When I continued asking for help, Pokémon Support threatened to revoke my ability to contact support in the future.

So their trading system lets you receive Pokémon it considers invalid, leaves you stuck with them, and threatens to cut off support when you complain. Absolutely unacceptable for a service people pay for.

Why am I Spanish

GAME THINKS IM SPANISH

Trading

I love how u can complete dex’s from other games but i think it should allow trade evolution when random trading and regular tradibg

Consistent Crashing

I have been using the app since launch. I had encountered an issue in which the app would crash repeatedly when loading after the start screen. If there was a competent customer support team then they were impossible to reach. After repeated emails in which I kept getting the same pre written responses and days of no help they finally acknowledged that the app isn’t compatible with all devices and compatibility isn’t guaranteed. I have an iPhone 13 mini and the latest OS. Finally after days of back and forth with what I can only assume were bots I received no confirmation of there being an issue or that this was something that was going to be resolved or addressed. Highly frustrating experience especially coming from what should be a high quality app.

What where missing

LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE APP
We are Missing A shiny filter on gts
for example if I put in shiny Charizard in gts
i want be able only for a shiny meta cross to be trade not a regular one

nothing to say

is it just me feeling like everything requires premium+++

The GTS trolls are just annoying 🤦‍♀️

Pokemon home is a great app, it’s super reliable and easy to use. I like to use the GTS to be able to get Pokemon but i absolutely despise when I see people looking for illegal Pokemon. For example, I saw someone looking for a Persian (Alolan Form) that is able to go to let’s go Pikachu. Its gets to point where the only offers for the Pokémon your looking for is them asking for either illegal Pokemon or Pokemon that cannot be transferred to the game they are ‘wanting’ to transfer too. I know it’s a way to flex good Pokemon but it just gets in the way of people actually wanting to trade. It would be amazing if it was able to be fixed. Other then that pokemon home is definitely still a 5/5

Better qol

Better filtering and options for shinies too make it easier to find/filter shinies for trading and gts.

Couldn’t be better

This so perfect I just catch a mon and take it to almost all my Pokemon games

Removing key feature Feb 27’

The whole reason I had any use for this app was to take old mons to switch games, and Nintendo has decided break the link of being able to transfer from gen 3 to the switch games.

Disappointed I gave money for a subscription service to one of the most profiting corporations just to be slapped with a notice that their service is no longer supporting key features that it originally had as a selling point.

Not bad, could be better

It’s not without its faults, but I love having the ability to see the Pokemon I have across all of the various games. I wish it was easier to see their National Dex number when moving them around because that’s how I organize all my boxes, but it’s still a decent and cheap app

Pokemon Home to Pokemon Go

I want pokmon from home to go to go

This app is perfect for storing pokemon

This app is so great for keeping all your pokemon secure in one app, so if your device ever breaks your Pokemon in there will be there still. And I love the trading options it makes trading more manageable. The only complaint is how you can’t really do anything with the Pokemon in there, I don’t want anything too advanced but maybe a few Go-styled interactions would make it more charming. But the missions in there are a real pain when some of them specifically ask for a deposit from a certain game, and since Bank is shutting down soon some of the missions that require pokemon from DS games need to be CHANGED! You shouldn’t require a Pokemon from a SPECIFIC game just to get the sticker and decorations, the Pokemon in general is what should get the sticker instead. And also the trading is absolutely terrible. Everyone asks for the same Pokemon it turns one trade for one Pokemon into literal hours of finding a match.
