The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from all Switch [[core series]] games. Both the mobile and Switch versions allow one-way transfer from [[Pokémon Bank]] (only with a Premium Plan), while the mobile version allows one-way transfer from [[Pokémon GO]]. Support for [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] is planned. | The Nintendo Switch version of HOME allows two-way [[transfer]] to and from all Switch [[core series]] games.

Pokémon do not display specific met locations while in HOME, instead only displaying their [[game of origin]] as a region. | |||
Depositing any Pokémon into HOME for the first time will assign it a HOME tracker value, a 64-bit number unique to it. This number is stored with the Pokémon and stays the same even if (e.g.) the Pokémon is withdrawn and traded offline to another player. The number is used to keep track of server-side data that is not transferred between games, such as a Pokémon's three movesets and game-specific data such as [[Contest condition]] and [[Sheen]] or [[effort level]]s. (For example, Sheen is not stored anywhere in the data of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] or [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. In order for a Pokémon from {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} to keep its Sheen when transferred out to one of these games and then back in, HOME remembers that the Sheen is tied to that Pokémon's HOME tracker value.) The tracker value is also used to detect [[Cheating|hacked]] [[Pokémon cloning|clones]]. | |||
