Pokémon 2019 Press Conference Announcements Recap #2: Pokémon Home for smart devices and Nintendo Switch

Announcement 2⃣

Pokémon began on the Game Boy and has since evolved (get it? 😉) into an experience that exists beyond a single game or device.

We wanted to bring everything together—connecting Pokémon with a variety of games and connecting players with each other.

Welcome home, Trainers.

Introducing Pokémon HOME, a cloud service that will work with Nintendo Switch and iOS and Android devices, allowing you to bring over the Pokémon that you’ve shared adventures with throughout your journey. #PokemonHOME pic.twitter.com/fAlodMrRzh

Pokémon HOME isn’t tied to a single game system, meaning you can connect with Pokémon Bank, along with #PokemonLetsGo, #PokemonSwordShield, and #PokemonGO. It also features trading functionality. #PokemonHOME

Trainers, we’re working hard to create a future that brings people and Pokémon closer together.

Bring your Pokémon home to #PokemonHOME in early 2020.
