Seeing people on twitter talking about the potential of a battle system on Home. Let me just say my thing about that. It's not going to work, even if they make that. Even if the pokémon coming from Sword and Shield into Home would be able to hold items and Home would support that, any of the pokémon that aren't in the Galar dex, so the pokémon coming from 3DS, GO, or Let's Go, wouldn't be able to hold items. Pokémon coming from the 3DS will have to go through Bank to reach Home, and Bank doesn't support hold items. Pokémon coming from Let's Go Pikachu or Let's Go Eevee don't have any hold items either because those games don't have that feature. Were they introduce this hypothetical battling option on Home where you could battle with any pokémon from the National Dex, a huge portion of the pokémon would be without hold items altogether and make them by that very nature inferior choices.
Another reason, which would be troublesome if Home just didn't support hold items altogether so for some 'item-free (Mega Rayquaza rules all) meta', any pokémon not in the Galar dex is essentially stuck in Home until some other hypothetical game is released that supports that pokémon. And Home is a cloud storage system. If you wished to change or modify a pokémon's moveset for instance, or change its EVs, you wouldn't be able to because you wouldn't be able to get that pokémon inside an actual game to do so. So you'd have to go back to the original game and get another one of those pokémon the way you want it, transfer it to Home, and then play again.
