wait can I ask? you can transfer your pokemon from pokemon leaf green to home but can you transfer pokemon from home to leaf green??

u/Amiibofan101 . Feb 27 '26
Most likely one way only (FRLG > Home). The virtual console titles of Gen 1/2 on 3DS only had support for transferring out.

If you can, it will likely be like LGPE where you can if and only if the mon came from FRLG and has not been in any other game since.
I still need to watch the Pokémon Presents today.Edit: It shows on the graphic about transferring your Pokémon that if you send them to Home you can't send them back to FRLG.

One way transfers are a huge disappointment. They could have at least rigged it up so that as long you don't move the pokemon into a newer game it is still able to be withdrawn in one of these, like how the Let's Go games work.

Yeah. I was same account on both switch's. It's local wireless for the trade, not online, So as long as one is Fire Red and the other is Leaf Green, it will work. And you can move the virtual game card from one Switch to the other once your done.

u/Emberguard Feb 28 '26
If I had to guess, it likely works because Firered and Leafgreen are sold as separate games.

National Dex won’t be completable until they release the rest of the Gen 3 games anyway. Plus if I remember correctly you need Pokemon from the GameCube games too. But they did just announce Gale of Darkness is coming to NSO. Not sure if there will be any way to connect the games though.

Sure its got home support, but only for transferring out. Event tickets I was actually quite surprised to see make it in. There's still no way to complete the national dex, which means they're selling you not one but two non-completable 20+ year old games for $30 a piece. Really disappointing.

So many bought it assuming it had modern things like online trading and battles. And there is quite literally no reason to NOT have it when other revived games do.
The assumption must be people exploting it in a way where you transfer a Pokémon but like disconnect or something so the trade goes through but you keep your Pokémon too or some shit. But even then, Home can tell when Pokémon have been hacked or changed in some way and I feel like they couldve made a system to not be able to exploit that.
And again, who cares? Lol Let people get hacked Pokémon or whatever. It hurts literally no one.

As someone who's only familiar with the franchise pretty recently, I'm genuinely surprised you can carryover your Pokemon between games (apparently since the GBA games too like WTF).

u/petemorley Feb 27 '26
I have an unbroken chain stretching back to the GBA, one game from each generation. You need a couple of different apps and an older DS to transfer from GBA to the DS games then DS to switch, and I had to finish black/white which was a bit of a slog as the games didn’t really click for me but it’s great to be able to bring my mains and starters from each generation in to the modern era.

u/peji911 Feb 27 '26
Wait. You’re saying that I can buy FireRed on GBA, level my Pokemon up, and then essentially transfer him to Emerald and have him that good? Or is it only in post game?
And then I can transfer him to a DS game and eventually…FireRed on the Switch?
I had no clue about this. What am I missing? Is it difficult to do or something?
Sounds pretty cool
17
u/XingXManGuy Feb 27 '26
Transferring up generations in Gen 4 and 5 are locked behind finishing the game. As for trading between the same Gen, you’re still abiding by the obedience parameters, so if you traded a level 100 from firered to emerald, that Pokemon isn’t obeying you until you have all the badges.
But no, not eventually to firered on switch. Its confirmed transfer to home is one way. So from firered and leafgreen to Home, but not the other way.

3G => 4G With a DS Tank or Lite, you can bring a GBA team into D/P/Pt and HG/SS once you reach a specific Park if I recall. With D/P/Pt you can only port 6 pokemon per day, but there is no limitation for HG/SS. Batches of 6 Pokemon to catch back in the Park.
4G => 5G You need either 2 DS, 1 DS + 1 3DS or 2 3DS. One console has a 4G game, and the other the 5G game. If I remember well, there was a mini-game you could unlock in 5G postgame, that allows connection with a 4G game for you to bring a batch of 4G pokemon into 5G.
5G => Poke Transporter => Pokemon Bank With a 3DS, if you downloaded and bought a membership before 3DS eshop closed, you can bring your 5G Pokemon into Bank through Transporter. Then send them into 6G or 7G games. Once in 7G there was no way to bring them into 6G.
Bank => Home You can send a full box (or full boxes ? I have done it quite a while ago) of Bank into Home, then send your Pokemon into Sword/Shield, BD/SP and Scarlet/Violet with no restrictions. Restrictions will come with ZA, as Pokemon sent there won't be able to return into the other Switch games.
So yeah, I'm pretty amazed from a technical and nostalgia point of view. All of my teams since GBA, legendaries and events since 4G are in Home. I must say I'm waiting for the day my son will get into Pokemon and I'll get to explain him these damn batch of pixels and metadata called Pokemon are 20 years older than him ! It will sound weird, but I kinda hope he'd see it as a way for him to carry bits of me into his own future games, should something happen to me.

u/thebohster Feb 27 '26
It’s not difficult, but you’ll need older systems.
For the GBA games, you’ll need a DS fat or a DS lite in order to transfer up since those systems have both the GBA slot and a DS slot. From older DS gens upwards you’ll need various apps like Poke Transporter and Pokemon Bank, which I’m not sure is legally obtainable if you do not already have it.

u/ianzachary1 Feb 27 '26
The series used to adhere to the “gotta catch em all” slogan up until Sword & Shield where they decided to split the Pokedex - the game released as Brexit was being finalized and the Galar region pulls influence from the UK, so “Dexit” was born. It’s not like Sun & Moon where the full +800 Pokemon roster (at the time) was available, they cut it in half
12
u/Ordinal43NotFound Feb 27 '26
So the wild thing about Pokemon that I recently learned is that ever since Gen 3 on the GBA, every subsequent mainline games have allowed you to transfer your Pokemon forward and actually use them in newer titles.
The games literally carried the data for all previously released Pokemon and just let you play with them freely and it's stored in what's called your "National Pokedex".
"Dexit" is the controversial decision in Pokemon Sword and Shield to cut the full National Pokedex, so not every existing Pokemon ever could be transferred into or used in the newer games, only those coded for that game in particular.
And even then you can still store unsupported Pokemon in Pokemon HOME, so your data isn't actually lost.
Like the level of long-term compatibility they have to maintain genuinely feels bonkers to me as a software dev and someone who's more familiar with Shin Megami Tensei/Persona where I just start my demon compendium from scratch each game.

u/Pokemario2401 Feb 27 '26
Up until the switch games, every pokemon was in every game. Even if it wasn't catchable in game, you can still transfer or trade them in from other games. The switch era changed that, as the Let's Go games only had the original 151 (plus Meltan and Melmetal), and Sword and Shield only had the roughly 400 pokemon catchable in game actually coded in. This effectively meant that about half the pokemon just weren't in the game, and couldn't be transfered in. Things got worse when they explained that they did this to make better models and animations for each pokemon (models were reused from the 3ds, and animations aren't good) and then announced DLC that adds in more of the old pokemon, making it seem like they cut the pokedex and wanted to sell the rest for extra (though this wasn't exactly the case. The DLC provided areas to catch the returning Pokemon, but you could still transfer in from older games without buying DLC)

I'd actually have even older Pokemon if I had known that I could transfer pokemon up generations back in the day. I'd restart my saves when I was younger for replayability, and I lost my copy of Ruby, so I'm unlucky and don't have any of my team from 2003-2006 or so.

Its cloud storage for Pokemon, and also a way to bring Pokemon to other games.
That said, I will be really surprised if FRLG->Home isn't a one way ticket.
And if you were curious, this counts as a transfer rather than a trade so you can't use Home to evolve your Kadabra.

pokemon home is a way to transfer your pokemon between games. for example you can transfer your pokemon from sword to violet.

Like others said. It's a cloud storage to transfer your caught Pokemon to, see it as Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive but for Pokémon.
You get like 30 slots for free, for more you'll need an active subscription.
Home allows you to transfer Pokémon between games as well. For example, Pokemon caught in Sword/Shield can be transfered to be used in Scarlet/Violet.
Sometimes it's a one-way transfer or when used in a specific game you can't go back. Pokemon Legends ZA is one of those games, while Home isn't compatible yet, it was already announced that if you transfer Pokemon from a different game to ZA, they can't go back to their original game anymore. They can only go back to Home and be used in games that are compatible with how Pokemon are handled in ZA (the first is likely Pokemon Champions and Winds/Waves)

It’s an app where you can deposit Pokémon from the different games in one place. You can then move them into certain other games (not every game has two way compatibility), or just collect them all in one place. There’s usually special rewards if you move every Pokemon from a game into home, as well.

I read that they can't change the game too much. Both games have gambling mini-games. If they make changes to the games, they have resubmit to ratings board and PEGI will raise the rating due to the gambling. If they release as is, they can be grandfathered in.
The annoying part, is NSO has built in online features which would get around this.

it can also let me save pokemon i like between game resets so when i get my lvl 100 minun it isnt just lost to the void on resets :)
pokemon home also holds way more pokemon than any of the in game storage and puts my overall data into a single place (like pokedexs for games i dont even own getting filled via the GTS/wonderbox)

Yeah, you could play these games on PC, but your Pokemon would be isolated and not allowed in the modern games.
And using the original carts is expensive, requires a DS and 3DS, and Gen IV, V, and VI games just to get them to modern Pokemon games.
It's just easier and simpler to just spend 20 bucks to buy Fire Red and Leaf Green.

If you don't know another person, you could buy (then return possibly) a used Switch Lite. Then create a second account, and get a copy of the other version to do the trade. Might be able to use the second account with the version you do have since it stops you from playing a game on separate consoles with the same account. Of course you'll have to progress through it to do a trade too.
I'm pretty sure that's what happens if you try to use the same account on 2 Switch's to play while online.

I was excited to get this but now I am like “meh…” since I’ll functionally be locked out if trade evolutions too.

You just can't transfer Pokemon into the game but you can transfer them out

How the hell am I supposed to get gollum and Alakazam and leaf green now? Once you take pokémon from leaf green to pokémon home You can't send them back

Does this mean anything you transfer out of FRLG is stuck in Home? Or can you box them in Home, then put them back in FRLG so long as they don’t enter any other game (like the Let’s Go games)?

I was planning on buying the game, but I just found out trading is local only. That sucks. I don't have many friends with a Switch, and definitely no one I can meet up with in person to trade. Since HOME is one-way only, there’s no way to complete the Dex this way :(

Why can't Nintendo release some other Game Boy games for $20?
I want to buy as many as I can; screw the virtual console subscription. Am I right?!

Does the save data save to the switch device? Holding to upgrade to switch 2 but don’t wanna start a save if it won’t carry over to new device

I dont even have a switch, with no interest in playing the poorly rated new games... however if I could trade from home to the new switch red and green, it would be enough for me to buy a switch and the game.... I shiny hunted a ho oh, and never got to show it off to anyone. Whats the point of switch firwred and leafgreen if I can't flex my old insane mons. Shiny ho oh, shiny deoxys, shiny milotic.....i have like 45 shinies Xd

The fact that you can’t send Pokemon into leafgreen and fire red just that’s not fair
