What account is Pokémon HOME linked to?

Pokémon HOME is linked to a Nintendo Account, which is required to sync activity with a Nintendo Switch console, transfer data to a different smart device, or move any Pokémon Bank Pokémon to Pokémon HOME. This Nintendo Account connection enables users to access their Pokémon HOME account from one smart device and multiple Nintendo Switch consoles, providing a seamless and integrated experience across different devices.

Understanding Pokémon HOME and Its Account Linkage

To delve deeper into the specifics of Pokémon HOME and its account linkage, let’s explore some frequently asked questions that can provide clarity and insights into how it works.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. Is Pokémon HOME tied to Nintendo Account? Yes, a Nintendo Account is required to sync activity with a Nintendo Switch console, transfer data to a different smart device, or move any Pokémon Bank Pokémon to Pokémon HOME.

  2. Is Pokémon HOME shared between accounts? No, each Pokémon HOME account can be linked to one Nintendo Account at a time. However, the same Nintendo Account can be linked to one account in the Nintendo Switch and mobile versions of Pokémon HOME, which will sync the information between the two versions.

  3. Why won’t my Nintendo Account link to Pokémon HOME? This could be due to Pokémon HOME being open on your Nintendo Switch when attempting to log in, or it could be another technical error. To fix this, try deleting the app and redownloading it on your mobile device.

  4. How do I transfer my Pokémon HOME account to another device? If you’ve already linked Pokémon HOME to a Nintendo Account on your old device, download Pokémon HOME on the new device, start Pokémon HOME for the first time on the new device, and input the same Nintendo Account credentials.

  5. Can you use the same Pokémon HOME account on multiple devices? When linked to a Nintendo Account, you can access your Pokémon HOME account from one smart device and multiple Nintendo Switch consoles.

  6. Do you need the same Nintendo Account to transfer from Pokémon Bank to HOME? Yes, even if you don’t have a Nintendo 3DS, it is still possible to move Pokémon from Pokémon Bank to Pokémon HOME using only Pokémon HOME if the Nintendo Account tied to Pokémon HOME and the Nintendo Network ID tied to Pokémon Bank are linked.

  7. Why can’t I transfer my Pokémon from Pokémon HOME? If a Pokémon in your Home box has red and yellow warning signs next to it, you can’t transfer it in the game you’re currently looking at because that Pokémon does not appear in that game’s Pokédex.

  8. Why can’t I redownload Pokémon HOME on my Switch? You can only redownload games using the Nintendo Account that purchased the game. If a specific game or DLC item shows “Purchased” in the Nintendo eShop but you are unable to redownload it, check the Nintendo Support page for more information.

  9. Why can’t I transfer from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME? To transfer Pokémon from Pokémon GO to Pokémon HOME, use the GO Transporter feature and ensure you’ve completed the tutorial for the mobile device version of Pokémon HOME.

  10. Can you unlink a Pokémon HOME account? Once you link Pokémon GO to a Nintendo Account linked to a Pokémon HOME account, you can unlink from that Nintendo Account in Pokémon GO at any time and link to a different Nintendo Account.

  11. How do I transfer Pokémon HOME to Nintendo Switch? Access Nintendo eShop on the Nintendo Switch console, download Pokémon HOME, launch it, and follow the in-app instructions to transfer your Pokémon.

  12. Can I get my Pokémon back from Pokémon HOME? Pokémon that have been sent to Pokémon HOME cannot return to Pokémon GO, so ensure you double-check the list of Pokémon you’re sending before confirming.

  13. Why did my Pokémon HOME reset? Pokémon HOME updates may include ability and move resets, meaning that when a Pokémon is transferred between games through HOME, their abilities and moves will not be carried over.

  14. Why can’t I renew Pokémon HOME? If automatic renewal is turned off, it cannot be turned on again during the current subscription period. You can re-enable automatic renewal if you purchase another subscription after the current subscription ends.

  15. Can Mythical Pokémon be traded in Pokémon HOME? You cannot trade Mythical Pokémon through the GTS, even though it’s possible to request a Mythical Pokémon when you put your own up for trade.

These FAQs provide comprehensive insights into how Pokémon HOME is linked to a Nintendo Account and address various aspects of using Pokémon HOME, including transferring Pokémon, account management, and troubleshooting common issues.
