The Pokémon Company and Nintendo announced today that Pokémon Home will launch in February for Android, iOS, and Switch.

Pokémon Home is an app that will make it easier for fans of the monster-collecting franchise to store, trade, and transfer Pokémon among different games. With the mobile version, players can have access to their critters from Pokémon Go, although support for that game won’t be available at launch. The Switch version will connect with the Let’s Go games and the latest entries in the series, Sword and Shield. You can link the mobile and Switch versions of the app.
