With Pokemon games no longer being released on the 3DS, The Pokemon Company published ILCA's Pokemon HOME, which acts as a cloud service/storage device for certain Pokemon console games and Pokemon GO. Pokemon HOME received a 2.0 update on May 18, 2022, which made it compatible with Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl and Pokemon Legends: Arceus.
