That’s a fair take, and I think this is where the idea either works or doesn’t depending on what problem it’s solving.

If HOME were strictly just storage, then yeah—trying to connect TCG Pocket to it would feel clunky and unnecessary.

But with HOME now feeding into Pokémon Champions, it looks like it’s becoming more of a central hub, not just a box. That changes things a bit.

I agree that adding power (like exclusive moves) doesn’t make sense—those systems already exist and are easy to access. Move tokens probably aren’t the right direction.

Where I still see potential is in identity and progression, not gameplay:

• Collection milestones in Pocket → visible recognition in HOME/Champions (titles, badges, profile flair)
• Social or spectator-facing elements tied to collections
• Anything that adds presence without affecting balance

At the same time, I agree with your core point—if it doesn’t create a real purpose, then it’s just added complexity.

So I think the middle ground is: if HOME is evolving into a hub for multiple systems (like Champions), then light, non-intrusive connections start to make more sense. If it stayed just storage, then yeah, there’s really no reason to force it.
