Is the game bugged? I don't have credit for having an Oddish, even though I transferred one in, for example.

Has it been established if you can put stuff into the same Home from multiple Switch accounts or is it different for everyone?

Do you have to initiate it from Bank? I was hoping I could do it without even turning on my 3DS but it seems like I have to start from Bank in the first place. Is that right?
Naw man, I'm saying I haven't even had a 3DS or game for it in years. My shits just been in Bank up in the cloud forever and linked to my Nintendo ID. I just did everything through my phone. I haven't even left my bed this morning yet. We live in the future! Haha

Can anyone tell if this Mew is legit? I have no idea when I got it or where from.

Is there a reason it keeps failing to link my Nintendo account to Home on the app?

Does home have safety measures built in to prevent hacked pokémon being put into them (is that even possible)?

Would hate to see SW/SH be overran suddenly with hacked mons.

So I guess if a Pokémon has an exclamation point on one of its moves, it's SOL and can't be transferred to SWSH?
I think I remember people datamining Sword/Shield and finding text that said (and I'm paraphrasing here), "This move is not usable in the Galar region." So maybe you can still transfer the Pokémon, but the move in question won't be usable?

So all those people asking for Meltans in the GTS trade don't know this? This is sad lol
What sucks is that they even let you ask for a mythical in the first place. They need a prompt that says "You cannot receive this Pokémon through the GTS." At no point do they let you know that you can't get the Pokémon you want.

Wouldn't surprise me if Sword & Shield was basically running on a souped up version of the engine used for ORAS. Though it just makes things all the more irritating that the PSS was cut. But oops, I'm not supposed to complain about that because #Dexit.
I think it's more likely that Let's Go was built off of ORAS (and they had leftover references to their initial tests of the game on Switch), while SwSh were built off of SuMo.

How does the Wonder Box work? I've had Charmander in there all morning and nothing
I put in Pokémon at about 11:00, and by the time I woke up at 6:30, all of them had traded. I think it just takes a while.

Pretty sure it is hacked. The only way I can recall of getting Mew in a Masterball is the Japanese Emerald ticket event. Which a. Makes it very unlikely that it would be english language and b. although I'm not certain I don't believe it would have the fateful encounter tag.

In the last 6 hours I had zero wonder trades and zero group trades and I tried almost constantly to get at least one working while bingeing a TV show, it's just straight broken.

Does anyone know how you earn Pokémon Home points?

Edit: Oh, it's a certain amount per day as a function of the amount of Pokémon in Home.

Well, still getting an error and unable to access Home after Bank Transfer.
Nintendo Support call queue is full so I'm sure they are getting flooded by folks having issues.

So how do I set stickers for that Pichu?

And can I register Pokémon in the HOME Pokédex without moving them in?

OK, so it's picked up my Pokedex from the 3DS box, but I can't work out how to add my Shield Pokedex to Home outside of moving all Pokemon over which... No. Is there an easy way to just get Home to read it?

I'm in the process of moving some Pokemon from Yellow (tedious as it is) to Bank. I recall there was some easter egg when a Pokemon from Gen I was moved to a newer game, but I can't remember what it was? Or maybe I'm confusing it with when a Gen 3 Pokemon was transferred to the remake?

Has anyone determined if you can unlock addition little trainers for your avatar? I unlocked like 100+ stickers and wallpapers when I imported some Pokémon but still just have the same set of trainers.

Would love Platinum Dawn.

Gen 1 Pokémon have a little GameBoy symbol on their status screen, in the same place those from GO have a circled G.

Go to Your Room and click your name at the top.

And sorry, no, you need to move a Pokémon in to register it.

Alright thanks! The stickers thing is quite hidden and that's a bummer and seems like an oversight if you just want to fill the Pokédex. They should add a "Add all caught and seen Pokémon to the Pokédex" function to import them from the games.

No.

Sword and Shield already had no protection for hacked Pokemon and they were available day 1 already.

In Bank, do I get to choose what to send over, or is it just going to try and send over everything? I haven't sorted my Bank out yet, but I want to send just a handful over for now and I'm scared to try in case everything is moved.
