On Thursday, The Pokemon Company announced that six months after Scarlet and Violet's launch, Pokemon Home support would finally be added to the games on May 24th. That, however, was quickly walked back, because the official Pokemon Twitter account sent out an apology, claiming that Pokemon Home v3.0.0 still does not have an exact release date. The update is now "coming soon", with more information to arrive at a later date.

I really want to understand why such a long delay and we why didn’t get that treatment with S/V?

They're only a small developer trying to make ends meet. Give them a break!

 

[TheStonedModder]

I’m convinced they only have one or two unpaid interns working on this update

Nani? So, that's how they treat their fans? Shitty performance and a late april fools joke? But what else could we expect from a bunch of "Game Freaks"?

True and it's hard to reach the boss when he's 10,000 feet in the air bringing home steaks.

it's more like the English twitter accounts keep mistranslating the official Japanese ones. the offical Japanese Pokemon account just mentioned a slight delay with no date, while the English accounts decided to put a rumored date that was from within the community (or likely thought the update - v3.0.0 - was when HOME gets added to SV). this is 2/2 for mistranslated Twitter posts regarding HOME (the first one was said to be "Spring 2023" when the Japanese account just mentioned "Early 2023", which can be any time from January to around June or July)

Their *big* money is reserved for something of much importance.. Their C&D team!

I bet one individual was behind this and nothing else. Oh well, gotta fix more bugs.

Man these Indie companies messing up! /s

There is a difference between mistake, and error, here are two examples of two true statements:
- The making of Pokemon scarlet and violet was a mistake.
- The announcement of pokemon home support for those titles was an error.

Now this sounds like pokemon home was a mistake.

wow what an April fool's joke that is not in APRIL!!!!

People are always disrespectful of indies... you haven't learned that by now?

 

[Something whatever]

This is what happens when you do yearly releases without content control. I think the real reason why , is because the game still riddles with game breaking glitches. The last event they hosted had a bug that crashed the game so they took it down. Mind you...this company is a highly net worth the. Disney.

This seems like they realized some major issue last second and had to panic cancel the release.
How the actual F is this still not done HALF A YEAR after release?!
