What's up, everyone? Welcome to the 734th episode of the Pokemon Podcast, It's Super Effective. I'm your host, Steve. With me is Bobby.

Hello. I have traded in Doomscrolling for comic book reading this last week.

**Steve Sarumi** (0:33)
This is so crazy.

**Bobby** (0:34)
Yes. So I was listening to another podcast, and they recommended reading the Ultimate Spider-Man series from the run from 2000-2009.
And so I downloaded the Marvel app on my iPad and have been going through that. It's great. I recommend it to anybody who enjoys Spider-Man or comics.

**Steve Sarumi** (0:55)
Cool. All right. Austin, what new hobby have you taken up this week?

**Austin** (0:59)
Well, I've been ice climbing in the Atlantic. What's it called? Not the Atlantic. Antarctica. That's what it is. Ice climbing there.

**Steve Sarumi** (1:09)
Classic mistake, everyone.

**Austin** (1:10)
Classic. Atlantic, Antarctica, whatever. Welcome in.
All right.

**Steve Sarumi** (1:16)
All right. We have a we have a packed show for you guys today. We have Pokémon HOME is getting updated. Praise Ilka. That comes with some bad news of Pokémon Bank getting shut down as Pokémon HOME. One cannot live while the other is.
It appears there can only be one. We can't possibly add more storage unless we kill this service.
So there's some other updates as well regarding Pokémon HOME. That'll be our first segment. Second segment will be any overflow of depending how long this first segment will go. But we do have some Pokémon Sleep news. Tinka Tinka Ton is coming to the game. I know we mentioned that, but we have a little bit more details. Also, it was the first week of Scion Beach Expert. And then we have some Pokémon GO news, a lot of Pokémon GO news. And then if you stick around for our bonus segment, if you're on patreon.com/pkmnc S T, you're on the Patreon side of things. We'll talk about how I finally found the Garretina.

**Austin** (2:24)
Woo!

**Steve Sarumi** (2:25)
Yes. I held it last night and this morning.

**Austin** (2:29)
It's beautiful.

**Steve Sarumi** (2:31)
I just walk over to it and pick it up and go cha-ching every time.
So we'll talk about Garretina TCG news just in general. This happened like two weeks ago, but we haven't talked about it. PSA fails to meet demand and also gets hit with a lawsuit. So that will be our bonus segment. You want to hear about the downfall of PSA. $5 will get you there. Or you could just read the article yourself. But if you want us to read the article and then comment on it, that's what the Patreon is for.
Again, loaded show. So let's let's dive right into things here with the Pokemon HOME update. I'm going to read it off pokemon.com, the most trusted site for Pokemon news here. Pokemon, this is how they start off. Well, we're going to go in order. Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen versions will link with Pokemon HOME this October. I mean, that's all it was. All right, news over. Thank you.

**Bobby** (3:36)
Why it takes so long?

**Steve Sarumi** (3:39)
I wonder, that's a great question. Why is it taking so long? And there seems to be like some wording to signify that maybe transferring out isn't one way. It says once linked, you'll be able to transfer Pokemon, befriend it in these titles to Pokemon HOME and bring them in other to other games in the Pokemon series. Once a Pokemon from FireRed or LeafGreen is brought to another game in the series, they will be unable to return to FireRed, LeafGreen. Pokemon from other games of the series will be unable to visit Pokemon FireRed, LeafGreen.
And then I'm going to spin this into the second bit of news is you can get a Celebi in Pokemon HOME. The gift will be given to you in Pokemon HOME. And it says, did you catch all the Pokemon in FireRed and LeafGreen? Question mark? Maybe I don't actually I would be like 4 million sales. I'm actually curious of how many of the 4 million.
Completed this Pokédex.

**Austin** (4:43)
Did you also know I got like I got like 60 in there right now.

**Bobby** (4:48)
OK, that's better than me. I got one the tarmander that I picked and then I turned the game off.

**Steve Sarumi** (4:55)
You can now receive the mythical Pokemon Celebi on the mobile version of Pokemon HOME as a gift for completing Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen Pokédex. To complete the Pokédex, you won't need to transfer the Pokemon to Pokemon HOME.
Once the Pokemon HOME is connected, if you have a registered Pokemon in your Pokédex in FireRed and LeafGreen, it will be registered in HOME. Don't forget, you can always trade using the Pokemon HOME GTS to fill out your Pokédex, which that part is also really interesting.
