The Road to HOME: Pokémon Bank transfer progress
Like many other players, I have quite a few Pokémon I'd like to move from GBA, DS and 3DS titles to HOME so that they are not perpetually locked to vintage consoles. There are other Pokémon I'd like to catch as well before the connection between Bank and HOME is severed. Making this thread so that we can share periodic updates with how our progress is going before Bank permanently shuts down on February 26, 2027.

Question of the Week: What is your favorite water-dwelling Pokémon?
To celebrate this week's release of Bubbly Basin in Pokémon Pokopia from its DLC Expansion Pass, we're asking what Pokémon fans love that lives in the water! They're not required to be Water-type Pokémon, as not all Pokémon who can live in the water or spend time there are necessarily Water types (Pincurchin, Tynamo line, etc.). This can also tie into what Pokémon you'd like to have in your underwater town in Pokopia as well, regardless of whether or not they're included in the game. Personally, I have a soft spot for the following Pokémon (not totally inclusive of all my watery faves): Kingler: I'm a crustacean fan and Kingler is the OG crab Pokémon. Pyukumuku: What's not to love?! It is adorable and I really enjoy the black/pink coloration. Pincurchin is also adorable. Lanturn: Have always enjoyed this angler fish-inspired Pokémon. Dragalge: Just really enjoy the design. Let us know your favorites!

Question of the Week: Do you have a favorite villainous team?
Pokémon games have featured many evil (or not so evil) teams that the protagonist must stand up to during their journey — today we're wondering if you have a favorite among them! And no, we won't assume you share their ideals just because you like them 😉 Personally, for aesthetic reasons, I like Team Magma and Team Plasma the most. The outfits for both teams (and both versions of Plasma) are just fun and I used to want to get a cosplay outfit together to be a Team Magma grunt. I also won a Nintendo Power (remember that magazine??) for a Team Magma t-shirt back when Gen III was out. Curious to hear your thoughts!

Question of the week: What pokemon town would you move to??
New Bark and Cherrygrove just sound so idyllic from their names alone. Johto has a lot of great spots.

Question of the week: What pokemon town would you move to??
My #1 has to be Fortree City in Hoenn — just imagine living among the trees and being surrounded by green. Mossdeep City, also in Hoenn, would be another great city in the region that I'd like to live in. #2 Mossui Town in Kitakami — I hope this is what heaven looks like. This is the rural Japanese vibes that I love in the real world. #3 would probably be Ecruteak City in the Johto region. Very cool vibes, great autumn foliage. Other cities or towns I'd like to live in, mostly for aesthetic reasons or abundance of nature: Ballonlea, Galar Malie City, Alola Laverre City, Kalos Eterna City, Sinnoh Floaroma Town, Sinnoh I feel like I need to include a city from my favorite region, Unova, but none of them are super exciting to me. Opelucid City would probably be where I'd choose to live there; wouldn't care if it was the futuristic version or past version, both have their charm.

Got lucky this morning — caught a hundo Bellsprout (after purification) from a Rocket balloon and hatched a Shiny Torchic from the daily Egg!

Question of the Week: What mobile Pokémon games do you enjoy?
@Zachery I hope Pocket avoids the monetization and anti-player gameplay pitfalls!! @Sakuramei I'm going to have to read this more thoroughly tomorrow, love that you shared so much about these titles!! Very sorry to hear about the lost Magikarp Jump data though :(

Question of the Week: What mobile Pokémon games do you enjoy?
Pokémon used to be a strictly handheld and console affair, but in its three decades mobile games have become a bigger part of the franchise. In part to celebrate Pokémon GO's 10 year anniversary, we're asking fans this week which iOS and Android titles they have enjoyed playing — regardless of whether the game is still available to download! Personally, I log into the current active games regularly: GO, Masters EX, Cafe and Sleep. On a slightly less regular basis I'll also jump into UNITE and TCG Pocket. I also have fond memories of the adorable Magikarp Jump that I wish they expanded and kept providing updates for. I kind of wish they'd bring Pokémon Duel back (you can see the Eevee and Treecko figures in the image above) but maybe in a different form. I didn't find the gameplay overly engaging, but I did like the little 3D figure designs. Want to refresh your memory about Pokémon's mobile titles? You can check out this page on Bulbapedia! Some never even got English releases. Curious to hear your thoughts!

Question of the Week: Are Pokémon games too easy?
I want to add that I actually wouldn't mind the current difficulty so much if they started off with more condensed tutorials. Balance things between showing new or young players the basics while not taking 2-3 hours to get into the actual game.

Question of the Week: Are Pokémon games too easy?
This week I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on the difficulty level of Pokémon games! Opinions on both current and historical difficulty levels are welcome. Overall, I'd personally like to see the main series get a difficulty selection at the start of the game or accessible from anywhere. Usually it feels like any challenging content is locked to specific post-game areas, if it exists, or you have to turn to online competitions. That being said, obviously the series has wide appeal and needs to be accessible to young fans. Pokémon has tried a convoluted key system in Black 2 and White 2 which allowed for Easy and Challenge modes, but it was too much of a pain to use for new games for most players. Sound off below! Do you like things as they are or would you prefer more of a challenge or grind?
