The Pokémon HOME 4.1.0 update went live on October 7, 2026, on Switch and mobile. The patch links the app to the Switch remakes of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and raises the Premium plan deposit from 6,000 to 9,000 creatures, without a price change.
Compatibility already had a date. What is new is the actual release, with patch notes reported by outlets that cover Nintendo. After a transfer to HOME, a Pokémon cannot return to FireRed or LeafGreen. Creatures from other games in the series also cannot be sent to those two titles.
What changes in the paid plan
- Compatibility with Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen for Nintendo Switch.
- Premium Plan subscribers can deposit 9,000 Pokémon, up from 6,000. The plan price does not change.
- Additional fixes for the user experience, without a detailed list in the summary notes.
Maintenance tied to the integration was scheduled to start at 9:00 a.m. on October 7, the time cited by The Pokémon Company in an earlier notice reported by Nintendo Life. Services were to be unavailable during that window.
The capacity increase is the point that was not the focus of earlier coverage of the date. Players who already pay for Premium gain 3,000 extra slots with no new price announced. Pokémon HOME 4.1.0 does not reopen a path back to FireRed and LeafGreen.
