The patience of Pokémon trainers all over the world is running thin -- and understandably so. After all, they've been waiting for about half a year for Pokémon Home to gain compatibility with Scarlet and Violet to no avail. One of the biggest issues players had with the latest mainline title in the Pokémon series is that many of their favorite classic Pocket Monsters aren't in the game, and without Home connectivity, there's still no way to gain access to those Pokémon in the Paldea region.

For this reason and others, connectivity with Home is an integral part of ensuring the longevity of the game as a piece of the multimedia Pokémon puzzle. However, that same initial lack of connectivity with Home may not be all bad. In some ways, it may even be a positive thing for Scarlet and Violet in the short term.

On their official website, The Pokémon Company states that Pokémon Home compatibility with Scarlet & Violet is "slated for Spring 2023." With that time period coming to an end fairly soon, fans are growing understandably impatient waiting for an update. However, with over 1,000 monsters now part of the Pokémon pantheon, the Pokémon Company seems to have their work cut out for them in ensuring everything runs smoothly when the update finally arrives.

While it's by no means what fans were looking for, Home did recently receive limited compatibility with Scarlet & Violet in its latest 2.1.1 update. This upgrade gave players the ability to view Battle Data and Online Ranked Battle information from both Sword & Shield and Scarlet & Violet, though it still doesn't account for the inter-game transferability for which players are really hoping. The Pokémon Company still has about a month's worth of time to make good on their promise, but in the meantime, the prolonged wait may not actually be all bad.

Making Players Wait for Pokémon Home Isn't All Bad

When considering certain aspects of the situation, the long wait for transferability between Scarlet & Violet and Pokémon Home may have more positive than negative effects. For example, one good thing it did was give players more time to get used to the newer Pokémon in Scarlet & Violet. The Paldea region is full of classic Pokémon, but it is also host to 107 brand new Pocket Monsters that players are discovering for the very first time. Over the past few months, players have had ample opportunity to catch, train, and learn all about these newer Pokémon. Having immediate access to Pokémon Home may have hurt this learning curve, as players would've had more means of avoiding using the newer Pokémon in their initial playthrough.

Another big reason that the delay has proved positive is that it has added weight to the 7-Star Tera Raid events. Tera Raid Events like those belonging to Decidueye, Typhlosion, and Inteleon have done a lot for the Pokémon community in bringing players together to figure out the best methods of taking down and catching these super powerful monsters. If players were able to just move these Pokémon from prior games, these 7-Star Events would have had nowhere near the amount of interaction that they did. Holding off on updating Home for a few months -- whether intentional or not -- actually raised the hype around the events because it incentivized players to give them a shot and experience the fun new dynamic they bring to the game.

Perhaps the most important reason that the wait for Pokémon Home has been positive is that it's given the developers time to minimize issues and bugs -- a problem that Scarlet & Violet infamously encountered at launch. While Pokémon Home compatibility has gone smoothly with previous titles like Arceus and Sword & Shield, they had considerably fewer bugs at launch than Scarlet & Violet. Scarlet & Violet is also a bigger game, and it may require more fine-tuning to get things working as they should. Considering all the new monsters added and how they change with the new Terastalization mechanic, character models will likely have to be updated for every single Pokémon that goes into the game as well. New content is always welcome in the world of Pokémon, but it's only a good thing when a studio takes the time to perfect the details instead of rushing to release a subpar product.
