Pokémon HOME 4+

I love this app, however I gave it 4/5 because I believe it has room for further potential. I feel as though the wonderbox is getting focused on the most, which is great, since I use it the most. The newest update finally gave us the option to receive all Pokémon from the box at once, instead of individually clicking on them and waiting for them to come through, one at a time. However now I feel like there isn’t much more that needs to be done for the wonderbox and instead I would love to see some GTS improvements, more specifically I would like the search filters to offer more options and be more specific, such as allowing us to search for shiny Pokémon deposited in the GTS, or ask for them in return for the Pokémon we deposited. The option to search for specific natures and pokeballs would be great too!

The last improvement I’d like to see is an update to the labels that Pokémon are given. When searching for labels I would like to be able to rearrange the order of those labels for easy access to the ones I search for the most.

This tries to plug the problem of firstly transferring Pokemon to a new generation while additionally trying to solve the problem where they didn’t add a GTS to SW/SH. It does the former fine. The latter? It’s like pulling teeth, the whole thing is bogged down with stupid trades which no one would accept! Not to mention the app itself is slow, buggy and crashes and every other time it’s opened. Also, why can’t I log into more than one iOS device with it? I didn’t know this was a problem and I downloaded it on both my iPhone and iPad - for me to find out my iPhone got locked out. I tried deleting it from my iPad but it still won’t open on my phone!

Let’s be real here - this is simply a way for Gamefreak to turn the lack of a full Pokédex on SW/SH into money (enter Mr Krabs “I like money” meme here). Everything works as slowly as possible - the trades, the app itself, even the animations are slow and low resolution - it feels like this app was made for an iPhone 4 years ago and they just realised they could pull it out and pretend like this fixes the problems their games made!

I wouldn’t spend anymore on this app, nor would I buy SW/SH in the first place. I find myself more angry when playing these games than actually enjoying it! Fix your app! And then fix the games before charging for utter rubbish!

This is really good at keeping track of Pokémon and being able to trade them from game to game. I got this only today and it’s doing good for me! Only when I tried to get the shiny zerozora instead I got the sword and sheild starters with the special abilities. I tried again and I didn’t get the shiny. And again... If you could maybe look into this? I’m thinking that if I wait another day and try again it should show up? I am a bit sad that I couldn’t get the zerozora though since the shiny is amazing! ( and it would be my first shiny 😃 ) I hope nobody else is experiencing this glitch thing and have their shiny zerozora! I’m in the uk so is there much of a difference between when we get it depending on where we are in the world?

Anyhoo how, great job on all the games and good luck with the crown tundra! Keep up the good work ❤️

It’s been a day and I’ve tried again at getting the shiny. Still not working even though I tried changing region and putting Pokemon back into the boxes. Is there something I’m missing? Do no more than one pokemon need to be in the box? Please help me! ☹️
