1. 4/5If it can be fixed than it needs to be

   This product is very useful I enjoy using it but there is one thing that I believe will make Pokemon moving the most useful you can transfer Pokemon back and fourth easily the but you can’t transfer over times that are on the Pokemon let’s say I have a zacian it needs its rusted sword to change form but unfortunately the time gets put back into your bag in sword and when you transfer zacian over to shield it does not have its rusted sword this makes moving Pokemon with items impossible and I can understand if there was a software road block it just think it would be nice to see the problem addressed by the people that made the app but besides that I think the app is great in both mobile device and switch but please if you could talk about it that would be most informative also the most of the community seems to be really toxic there are a lot of troll trades that are asking for Pokemon at a lower level than are given for example a troll wants a level 60 zacian this is impossible to get zacian at level 60 because he comes at level 70 they make it so trades with actually good people are impossible all I ever see when searching for trades are trolls and take up the entire page and should not be allowed to do so so making a cap of leveling depending on the actual Pokémon so we don’t have trolls would be nice

2. 5/5Great! But needs one or two features

   This game is great it has many features that I have always wanted for Pokémon sword and shield but it is lacking some, such as the feature on the GTS where there is a setting where it filters the Pokémon you are searching for four people asking for Pokémon that you have. This is an excellent feature and I am surprised it is not added in Pokémon HOME. Also it would be great if we had some sort of way to battle, maybe on the switch version it would be better than the mobile version but still nonetheless we need a way to battle, especially since on the news category it says battle as a category. Overall this is a great game but there is one more thing I would like to see in it. There should be more boxes in the basic plan of the version one box really isn’t going to help people who want to save money but like to play Pokémon, especially if they might be shiny hunters or they just need extra space in their boxes. Also, people should not be able to make a possible trades such as dittos with genders or legendary Pokémon with genders which there is no way that anybody can trade unless it is hacked. These trades generally annoy me because this is people just taunting others. I’d like to see your future that removes the capability of making any sort of impossible trade. I love this app how it can transfer Pokémon to and from games and I think once it gets updated more it will just keep getting better. :3

3. 5/5Great app but...

   I love this app but my only real complaint is that you should not be able to request mythical pokemon in the gts since you can’t trade them. It blocks out the people actually trying to make a reasonable trade. Every time you search a pokemon the only people who pop up are people looking for mythicals(eevee for meltan, caterpie for mew). Even if someone wanted to just help a person out and give away a Mew YOU CAN’T TRADE IT. Please just remove the ability to request it. Put a similar error message when it is requested as the one that comes up when you try to trade it(this pokemon is special and can’t be traded). In home I notice you can’t have the app open on your device and your switch at the same time. This can be inconvenient and I’m having trouble seeing the purpose of this. The app can also be laggy/clunky at times but that’s to be expected with it still being fairly new and having such a large player base but I do hope it changes. I notice there’s no gts feature that allows us to filter for shiny pokemon as what we’re looking for. This can help a lot of people Trade for a shiny living dex if they don’t have the game. Another issue is the ability for people to ask for impossible pokemon in the gts. Home can recognize that a level 10 dragapult is impossible and not allow you to trade it(good) but it can still allow you to ask for an impossible pokemon. This pollutes the gts and keeps us from finding the pokemon we want. We shouldn’t be able to put eternatus in the gts looking for a level 1-10 zacian since the lowest level zacian is a level 70. It ruins the trade system.

4. 5/5Great, just a few issues

   I’ve loved Pokémon ever since I could remember, but I’ve never had a chance to play a game until I got Sword. I loved it so much, and when I found out there was an app that could allow me to essentially trade for free, I was amazed. I got this app, and it’s been going great. However, there are just a few issues. First of all, it would be best if in the GTS you could only allow possible trades. I’ve been searching for a Zamazenta for a little over five months now, and all everyone wants are impossible to get, such as a level 51-60 Zacian, or a level 1-10 Poipole. That last one really ticks me off, because for every single Pokémon out there, someone wants a level 1-10 Poipole. Second, the whole can-store-from-Let’s-Go-but-not-go-back thing doesn’t make sense. I’m not a computer coding wizard, so I’m maybe just ignorant, but it’s still confusing. Last, and probably the most unimportant problem, is the premium plan. Don’t get me wrong, $16 a year is absolutely fantastic, but it’s the differences from the basic plan that really irk me. Only three Pokémon in the Wonder Box at a time? At least 6 would make it a lot better in my opinion, but now I’m just rambling. Overall, this is an amazing app I would recommend to every trainer out there, but fixing these few issues would make it a lot better. Thank you!

5. 3/5overall great app, some important issues

   i think overall this is a great app, but there are a few issues. firstly, i don’t see why we need to have a subscription service. sure, the app works on the fdree version and gives you access to the important parts, but this is limited and excludes things that people who are going to use home in the first place are going to want/need. paying up to $3 monthly isnt much, i’ll admit, but is kinda petty for a big company like pokemon. also, you pay for pretty important features like moving items along with your pokemon, having more than 30 pokemon at a time, having more than 1 pokemon in gts at a time, judge pokemon, the list goes on. players already have to pay for the game(s) we use to connect to home, and most home users have multiple pokemon games. this is definitely a “create problems, sell solutions” angle to something pokemon knows players worldwide use and rely on. another issue is the way the trading system works. first of all, people are able to ask for pokemon that are impossible to get legitimately, like someone asking for an enamorus level 60 when enamorus is only available at minimum level 70 (not 100% sure if that’s accurate, just trying to get the point across). also, people are able to get hacked pokemon on the GTS and someone might trade for it and then not know it was hacked, now imagine if that person then tries to use that pokemon in an online battle and gets banned from online play without actually trying to be malicious. overall, i do think it is a great app and it’s something we do need, it just has some problems that need fixing. 3.5 stars
