Pokemon Home, Continuity and Nostalgia (lemm.ee)

I recently got Pokemon Home and let me just say I love the continuity it provides. Not only can I play with nostalgic teams, but the trade's on offer are the most busted things Ive seen in a long while. Requesting a lv 91-100 Pharaoh/La Reine trim Furfrou for a Kubfu? Sure that sucks, as there is no way to train one in the current gen, requiring a Pokemon bank enabled DS or a literal trip to another country, but its a legendary, so I kinda get it. But all that for a lv 5 Alolan Rattata? I feel like I'm back in the middle-school cafeteria getting fucked on trades again. Thanks Pokemon Home.

"* * * *" 4/5 stars. it loses a point because i haven't figured out how to get my box to actually be sorted by National Dex order for real and not just a search filter

I wish there was a way I could evolve trade-evolutions mons by myself with Home. I usually purchase both versions, so why not allow me to evolve the trade evolutions by dropping them from one version to the other or something?

that would be super appreciated! though right now i do believe its possible if you have Legends. There is an item called the link charm (i think) that should be able to do link evos.

@DeadWorld Thanks for the heads up! I’ll have to look into that. Would also be great if they did that with newer games going forward. Since I left Reddit, I no longer participate at r/PokemonTrades, which was the only way I was able to complete the Galar and Paldea dexes.

is there a board for that here? might be useful, but Ive personally never trusted the trade rooms. Much safer to prowl the streets and force people to trade in real life

@DeadWorld I’m not sure. It was the only thing that kept me leaving Reddit for the longest time.
