Pokemon Home is getting some much requested updates in the fall and an unfortunate update in the winter.

The Pokemon Company has confirmed a major update for October that will enable access to the Switch versions of Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green, with a reward for a full Pokedex of Celebi in its first access on Switch. The update will also increase the storage capacity for premium subscribers by 50% (from 6,000 to 9,000), and allow support for transfer of Pokemon Go Pokemon caught in the "Go Safari Ball" used during the annual Wild Area event.

The same announcement also confirmed the end of support for transfers from the 3DS Pokemon Bank to Home will occur on February 26, 2027. The 3DS app was free to store Pokemon from pre-Switch games beginning with the 3DS eShop's closure in early 2023, and was even maintained following the closure of Nintendo Network (online) in April 2024.
