Pokémon HOME: Difference between revisions

→‎Game-specific data and HOME tracker value: corrected misinformation about Contest stats and Sheen being one of the values stored by HOME, and SWSH/PLA not containing values for those parameters. SWSH and Legends Arceus do infact contain parameters for contest stats, they are just not visible ingame. Changed example case to Alpha flag from Legends Arceus.

For example, Sheen is not stored anywhere in the Pokémon data of Sword and Shield or Pokémon Legends: Arceus. If a Pokémon from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl is transferred to one of these games and back, it must keep its Sheen. This is done by HOME associating that Sheen with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value. (The tracker value is also used for the once-per-save-file restriction on newly depositing certain {{pkmn2|Legendary}}/{{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. A Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value.)
For example, the Alpha Pokemon flag is not stored anywhere in the Pokémon data of Sword/Shield or Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl. If a Pokémon from Pokémon Legends: Arceus is transferred to one of these games and back, it must keep its Alpha flag. This is done by HOME associating that flag with that Pokémon's HOME tracker value. (The tracker value is also used for the once-per-save-file restriction on newly depositing certain {{pkmn2|Legendary}}/{{pkmn2|Mythical}} Pokémon from Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. A Pokémon is being newly deposited if it does not have a HOME tracker value.)


Effectively, HOME as of v2.0.0 keeps track of three sets of incompatible data for each Pokémon; however, only one set of data will be displayed when a Pokémon's [[summary]] is viewed in HOME. For example, the Legends: Arceus set of data will display significantly different [[stat]]s and no [[Ability]] compared to the other two sets of data (even though the Ability is internally remembered by Legends: Arceus and is not game-specific data). On the Nintendo Switch version, only the Sword/Shield set of data will be displayed for all Pokémon unless the application is currently connected to Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl or Legends: Arceus. The type of [[Poké Ball]] shown will change depending on which set of data is being displayed, though the [[origin mark]] will always be correct. On the mobile version, the set of data displayed for a Pokémon is picked depending on the last game it was previously in (or Sword/Shield by default if that Pokémon has never been in a [[Generation VIII]] game). The type of Poké Ball shown will always be correct.<ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372709736596-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-Sheen-or-condition-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://support.pokemon.com/hc/en-us/articles/6372695365652-Why-can-I-no-longer-see-the-effort-levels-of-my-Pok%C3%A9mon-</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/QStheSLAYER/status/1526950194373226497</ref>
