Regarding the Pokemon franchise, one of the biggest hassles gamers had in the earliest versions of the title was moving your pocket monsters from one generation to the other so that you didn’t lose your progress. You first needed multiple Game Boy systems, link cables, and other devices to make it happen. Then you needed a strong internet connection. Eventually, they created the Pokemon Home service to help make things simpler. Through it, you can store Pokemon from all generations without any hassle. Fast forward to now, and Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are finally being made available to the service.
That’s important for multiple reasons. First, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet didn’t have access to the service at launch, nor in the months following. This was likely done due to how people would’ve stored their best Pokemon in the collection service and thus could’ve broken certain competitive functions if they were made available from the start. The competitive scene in the franchise is very combative by nature, so The Pokemon Company made the right call but not stoking the flames there. However, the upcoming 3.0 update for Gen 9 will make everything connected, and that’s something many gamers will be happy about:
From Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet version 3.0.0 onward, players will be able to link Pokémon HOME with Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet.#PokemonScarletViolet ❤️
