Pokemon Home release date confirmed for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players

Pokemon Home was supposed to get an update to Version 3.0.0. on May 23, 2023, at 6 pm (PDT). However, the updated website now states:

"The original version of this article stated that Pokémon HOME would be updated on May 23, 2023. The article has been updated to reflect that the launch date is now to be announced."

The official press release also stated:

"After players link their game to Pokémon HOME, they will be able to transfer Pokémon from Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet to Pokémon HOME and bring select Pokémon from other games to the Paldea region."

That means you could theoretically get certain Pokemon from the following titles transferred over to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet:

• Legends of Arceus
• Sword
• Shield
• Brilliant Diamond
• Shining Pearl
• Let's Go Eevee!
• Let's Go Pikachu!
• Go
• Bank

However, that doesn't mean everything can be put into Scarlet and Violet from Pokemon Home.
