Pokémon FireRed Version and Pokémon LeafGreen Version can now link with Pokémon HOME, Pokemon.com announced on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. The compatibility arrives through Pokémon HOME version 4.1.0, which Nintendo Life reports is now live.
The two Game Boy Advance games, originally released in 2004, let players send Pokémon from those saves into the cloud storage service. Nintendo Everything has published patch notes for the 4.1.0 update, and IMDb also reported on the launch.
Alongside the update, Insider Gaming has published an explanation of how players can obtain a free Celebi in FireRed and LeafGreen. That guide covers the steps tied to the new HOME connection.
The announcement was carried across several outlets, with Pokemon.com serving as the primary source for the compatibility news. Nintendo Life and Nintendo Everything both covered the version 4.1.0 release, while Insider Gaming focused on the Celebi distribution.
Transferring Pokémon from older titles into Pokémon HOME has been a long-running request among players who keep saves from earlier generations. FireRed and LeafGreen join the list of games that can connect to the service, though the source material does not specify which Pokémon are eligible to move or whether any restrictions apply.
Players who want the free Celebi should check Insider Gaming's guide for the exact method. Further details on transfer rules, eligibility, and any future game additions are worth watching on Pokemon.com and the official Pokémon HOME channels.
