The release of Pokemon Home means that players can now add 35 new Pokemon to their Pokemon Sword and Shield games. Last night, the Pokemon Company released their new cloud-based storage system Pokemon Home, which will allow players to store Pokemon from various Pokemon games in one central location. Obviously, Pokemon Home is compatible with Pokemon Sword and Shield, which means that players can transfer Pokemon from Pokemon Sword and Shield to the cloud service and vice versa. Although players can’t bring in every Pokemon from their old games into Pokemon Sword and Shield, there are 35 Pokemon species that can immediately be added to the games through the Pokemon Home service.
