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

Actually, those Furfrous are impossible trades. The moment Furfrou is put in a box, it becomes its original form and loses the actual hair style it was. The only way to get Pokémon Home Furfrous with other trims is by having them come from Go, which they only appeared in for a limited time with trims being region-based, and make it better, none could be even close to level 100! You'll sooner find the Galarian Ponyta that can be transferred to Let's Go (this is a real trade you can request, you take a guess if it's possible). 10/10

Thanks for the info ! Do you know why people ask these impossible trades ? 🤔 Also, I think Pokemon Home really makes the Pokemon journey better overall.

To flex their Pokémon. I'm not kidding, that's seriously the only reason why.

Er, okay. I didn't thought about that. That's lame, in my opinion.
