This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Pokémon HOME is the successor of Pokémon Bank, but unlike the 3DS-based Bank, it is split between a version for Nintendo Switch and mobile (iOS/Android) versions.

Trading Pokémon, Mystery Gifts, checking Battle Data and News are exclusive to the iOS/Android version, while transferring Pokémon from Bank and "Judging Pokémon" are possible in both versions.

Unused Graphics

From version 1.0.0 to version 1.0.2, assets\gif\433ee880bd7192400ee3c59489d572da.gif was a GIF of a woman dressed as Vocaloid Meiko dancing and accidentally hitting Vocaloid Rin. This was originally posted by Twitter user Arak2, which itself is based on this video.

Meanwhile, a few significantly less weird GIFs were also present up to version 1.0.2, featuring Pikachu’s animations ripped straight from Generation VII games.

These GIFs were all removed in v1.0.3. It remains unknown whether the first GIF of the bunch was actually used for testing or was a strange joke from a developer.

Unseen Pokémon Titles

In the text files for Pokedex entries exist two additional Pokémon titles, listed alongside the other games in the series. All Pokédex entries within the files associated with these are identical to the ones in the OR/AS Pokédexes, with the exception that all alternate formes have been removed. This may suggest either that a Switch version of the titles are planned, or (more likely) that Switch versions of the games were created for the sake of internal testing.

Unused Jynx form

To do: upload the sound file of the cry

Jynx has an unused second form with its own unique cry. It is not currently known what this additional form is for, but it suggests that another form for the Pokémon may have been in the works at some point. The effects used to distort it sound quite similar to the ones used in Mega Evolutions, so it could belong to a scrapped one for Jynx.
