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

Probably the fact that Go constantly updates and can have oddly level Pokémon, so one day they all technically could be possible, but aren't now.

Let's Go mons who can never enter Let's Go like Galar Ponyta though... no idea.

Who even plays Go anymore. I havent seen anyone walking around tapping balls since 2017-18 and im near a city so i would imagine stops are relitively plentiful

I start playing the game again a week ago. In a mid size city in France, gyms got conquered by a new team almost everyday (in the inner city thought).

Considering it still makes a ton of money, more than you'd think! Certainly not a huge craze anymore, but it still has its fans.
