The Pokemon Company hasn’t shared any further details about June’s Pokemon Home update, so we don’t yet know what it will entail. However, the company has been regularly rolling out updates that improve functionality. The most recent patch released back in February and made several quality-of-life improvements, including adding a “Receive All” option to the Wonder Box.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Pokemon series, and there are multiple Pokemon games on the way for Switch over the next few months. New Pokemon Snap, a long-awaited follow-up to the classic N64 spin-off, releases on April 30, while remakes of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl will launch later this year. Further down the line, a new Pokemon game called Pokemon Legends: Arceus will arrive on Switch in early 2022.
