Eh, the 'Challenges' seen in the screenshots are things like 'bring over the Sinnoh starters', or 'Register one of Alcremie's forms', under the 'Pokemon' header. I also spot 'Trade' and 'Other'. My guess that the challenges for 'Trade' will probably be along the lines of 'Trade 3 Grass types' and 'Trade a Pokemon through the Wonder Box'. As for the 'Other' header, I'm kinda expecting it to host challenges like 'View an entry in the National Dex' or 'Receive a Mystery Gift'. I could be pleasantly surprised by some type of mini-games, but I honestly don't see it happening, judging by the (admittedly limited) info we have available.Having a room for yourself to decorate sounds like a fun idea, and a lot of what this entails sounds like a logical evolution of the Pokémon Bank service. However, what about the part where Masuda said our Pokémon will be "very active" in Home? I want to say that those challenges you get stickers for will allow them to participate in some mini-games, but nothing's guaranteed. Maybe they're planning an Amie feature but didn't announce it due to that part not being finished yet.
My like is for the effort you went through to collect and post this info, not HOME itself. Additionally, here are the prices in euros:
1 month (30 days): €2.99
3 months (90 days): €4.99
12 months (365 days): €15.99
My expectations were low, and I'm still disappointed tbh. Not surprised though. And I'll admit I'm kinda pleased I was right about no payment being necessary to download and use it. The Switch features are fine, and what it doesn't have can all be found in SwSh anyway, so no complaints there. And it kinda seems like they really want to promote the mobile app... I wonder kind of data you have to share to use it...
From the current info it's not entirely clear, but I think you could potentially trade 'mons via the mobile app without having to pay anything, allowing you to circumvent NSO?
Paying triple the fee of Pokémon Bank for double the box space, the future Pokémon Go connectivity, a few extra features and the convinience of trading on the go without having to do anything is a little steep, but not at all unreasonable in my opinion. I don't really have the choice to not get premium since all my Bank box are filled and I would love to transfer some of them so I'll be buying in regardless. Still, the monthly fee of about one Mars bar with the yearly subscription should hopefully keep it accessible to most other people as well.
as when you calculate everything together its going to put the average gamer 131 USD in the whole just to get a complete experience with these games
60 base game
30 DLC
20 switch online
16 for home
5 Bank
