However, the leaks stated that there would still be caveats involved, including resetting a transferred creature's moves. Furthermore, certain creatures (like the latest two Paradox species) would have some special stipulations surrounding them as well. A Mystery Gift function was also purported to be in the works for players who link HOME to Scarlet and Violet that would reward them the Paldea region's starters.Centro LEAKS@CentroLeaks- Mystery Gift for linking SV: Fuecoco, Sprigatito, Quaxly.- Iron Leaves and Waking Wake won't have Pokédex entries, all they will say is that they are still under investigation.178070- Mystery Gift for linking SV: Fuecoco, Sprigatito, Quaxly.- Iron Leaves and Waking Wake won't have Pokédex entries, all they will say is that they are still under investigation.Centro LEAKS@CentroLeaksWith Pokédex entries we meant the flavor text.99928With Pokédex entries we meant the flavor text.Centro LEAKS@CentroLeaksAnd yes thanks for reminding us this also happened way back in gen 2 lolAnd for the transfer to previous gens, obviously we meant that as long as the Pokémon exists in the destination game (Let’s Go is excluded from this feature).105130And yes thanks for reminding us this also happened way back in gen 2 lolAnd for the transfer to previous gens, obviously we meant that as long as the Pokémon exists in the destination game (Let’s Go is excluded from this feature).~DaisukeDoi~ *Currently Digivolving*@DaisukeDoi7@CentroLeaks I'm assuming that &quot;For the first time ever, you will be able to transfer Pokémon caught in Scarlet/Violet to previous generation games.&quot; is for Pokemon that weren't introduced to ScVi.So you might be able to move over, say, Raichu, but not Pawmot4222@CentroLeaks I'm assuming that &quot;For the first time ever, you will be able to transfer Pokémon caught in Scarlet/Violet to previous generation games.&quot; is for Pokemon that weren't introduced to ScVi.So you might be able to move over, say, Raichu, but not PawmotCentro LEAKS@CentroLeaks@DaisukeDoi7 Correct3101@DaisukeDoi7 CorrectBobmcdoogal🐀@bobmcdoogal@CentroLeaks Do all the Pokémon’s moves get reset or just the ones that it can’t learn in SV?26@CentroLeaks Do all the Pokémon’s moves get reset or just the ones that it can’t learn in SV?Centro LEAKS@CentroLeaks@bobmcdoogal All moves92@bobmcdoogal All movesMeanwhile, Pokemon fans debated how valuable the ability to transfer species backward would be. Most players agreed that it could be helpful for specific evolutions and completing in-game events. However, some trainers remarked that it was primarily oriented toward fans who haven't played previous generations' games and didn't exactly see the point. Regardless, if the leaks are indeed true, the feature will be present and ready to use when the update arrives.PearlEnthusiast@PearlEnthu2Is anyone going to actually use a feature that lets you transfer your Pokemon from Pokemon Scarlet/Violet and Pokemon Home to Pokemon Sword and Shield? It seems very useless, especially since you wouldn't be able to send something like Koraidon.91236Is anyone going to actually use a feature that lets you transfer your Pokemon from Pokemon Scarlet/Violet and Pokemon Home to Pokemon Sword and Shield?

As with any leaks, rumors, or alleged information released ahead of official announcements, players will want to remain skeptical of these statements by Centro. The information is unconfirmed by the higher-ups and the marketing teams at Game Freak and Nintendo, so players should never get too excited. As enticing as this leak may be, it could end up being incorrect, at least partially. Centro certainly has a solid track record when it comes to rumors and leaks, but players can never be completely certain.Whatever the case may be, hopefully, the community won't have to wait much longer for HOME's Scarlet and Violet debut. The more features it has, the better the full update should be for the wide swath of new fans and series veterans alike. Only time will tell if this HOME update lives up to the slowly-simmering hype it has generated since November 2022, but there's certainly no lack of excitement surrounding it.
