I don't think a remake of Sinnoh could be justified under this new buisness model of theirs.

Remove trading, breeding, and online competitive from the console entirely and have them be purely story and world focused, then put all the competitive garbage onto a mobile app
What sort of garbage opinion is this?

Never said it was justified under some business model. I said that I suspect GameFreak will cover the rest of the Pokemon through an Gen 8 game the year after expansions, giving a guess based on GameFreak's current mindset.

Its probably going to be a second pair of Expansions. 200 in first, and a second with 200 is too coincidental.

lol. Yes, that could happen too.
If they did that, it would leave a lot of people out, as those phones tend to be rather expensive. Any kidding you meant there aside. I hope they don't pull a stunt like that.Remove trading, breeding, and online competitive from the console entirely and have them be purely story and world focused, then put all the competitive garbage onto a mobile app that only works on 64-bit phones like Pokémon Masters

Okay, here's a question that just occurred to me. I know it's been said that we won't be able to use Home to connect to Go right away, but once they do allow that, is there any reason to believe we'll be able to do that without a premium plan? From what I can tell, the premium plan, in regards to transfers, is only needed for transferring from Bank to Home, and the free plan can be used to transfer between Switch games. Since Bank isn't required for Go transferring, does this mean transferring from Go will be free? If so, that something good to come out of all this, as I had just assumed I wouldn't be able to without paying from the moment Home was announced.
Actually, continuing that train of thought, I suppose this also means that we should be able to transfer Pokémon from Gen VIII to future Gen IX and later games for free as well, right? It's still a major bummer that there's an unreasonable paywall between everything pre-Gen VIII and everything post-Gen VIII, but at least that's something we won't need to worry about moving forward (I hope).
Or am I missing something and horribly misinterpreting what will be available, therefore getting my hopes up for nothing?

Prior to hearing about the trading features, I was planning on only using Pokémon Home for three things
- A home for all of the pokémon I caught & raised from my last set of roleplaying playthroughs (Black 2, Heart Gold, X, Alpha Sapphire, & UM). I have a lot of sentimental attachment to these Pokémon &, even if I can’t use them in Sword & Shield, I want to make sure they don’t disappear when Bank eventually shuts down.
- A place to keep all of the Pokémon that have been cluttering my boxes in SwSh so that I can just have my main team & reserves
- Trading with myself between games

That's me too, along with storing Pokemon in case anything happens to my Switch.
@Twilight-Kun
Don't have a living dex, but I'm doing the same as well, since I'd be using Home for storage. I consider the main Pokemon games to have temporary save files as I do not have another Switch to transfer my profile and save files to nor do I have any friends that live nearby that I could do that with either.
I'm taking that some of that comment wasn't being completely serious, given the cost of said technology. It's all well and good for those that can go and get it right away.

I came from another forum (the one I normally frequent) to avoid these Home arguments. Seems like it's spreading faster than Pokerus, as everyone but everyone is bickering about this. Can we talk about something without this nonsense? I understand if people don't like Home, but I literally cannot find a place where this isn't plastered everywhere.

Have you considered this amazing new feature called Not Clicking On A Thread Dedicated To The Topic That Is Being Discussed?
It's revolutionary

You literally came to the thread about Pokemon Home when there are hundreds of others.
Let's stop with the arguing. And in regards to Home, there is more than one side to it. And people have the right to discuss it in a civil manner, both the good parts and the bad.

Once Pokémon Go becomes compatible with Home, I'm hoping that any transferred pokémon don't automatically get their hidden abilities like they did in the digital re-releases of Gens 1 & 2. I have Koffing in Go that I plan on evolving into Galarian Weezing & I'd prefer it to have its Neutralizing Gas ability rather than Misty Surge
I hope so too. And I hope I can transfer from Go and then into Let's Go. Never got Go Park to work whatsoever.

They should just merge Go and Home, then add Sleep whenever that becomes available
Imagine if people had to exercise to hatch eggs and breed pokémon - the pokémon fanbase would become the healthiest on the planet

For me, I think the jarring thing isn't so much the price for premium but the sheer difference in size between the free version and the premium version. It's either 30 or 6000 slots.
For someone like me, who's in between a casual fan and avid collector, it is kind of awkward. I have more than 30 Pokemon that I want to transfer, but I don't think I will ever hit 6000 Pokemon to transfer in my lifetime. I only transfer the legendaries/mythicals, the occasional shiny/event, and whatever 6-10 Pokemon that were used the most on my initial playthrough. So I could personally make due with like a storage space with 500-1000 slots.
While I'll still get the premium version, I do wish they could have had multiple tiers (free, basic, premium). Like a basic tier that was $8.99 a year with 600 slots would actually have me set for life.

Definitely. That would have made more sense. To have more than one size option.
