Pokémon Legends: Z-Ahas received a major update that supports the long-awaited integration of Pokémon Home. This feature has been anticipated by the community since the game’s release. Pokémon Home makes it possible to transfer, collect and trade Pokémon from various games on the Nintendo Switch and mobile devices.
Limitations to Home support
With the new version 4.0 of the Home app, Pokémon from Legends: Z-A can be transferred. However, there is one major limitation: transferred Pokémon from Z-A cannot be returned to older titles in the series, including Pokémon Legends: Arceus. However, it is possible to transfer Pokémon from older games to Z-A, but without the option to transfer them back.
So far, the developers have not commented on the technical background of these restrictions. It is speculated that this is related to the special battle system of the Pokémon series. Interestingly, the upcoming 10th generation of Pokémon – Wind and Wave – does not appear to be affected by these restrictions.
This update represents an important step for fans looking to expand their Pokémon collection across platforms, despite the existing restrictions.
