Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen Finally Get Pokémon Home Support Alongside Free Celebi Drop
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are getting official Pokemon Home support on October 7, 2026, rewarding players who complete the Kanto Pokex with a free level 50 Celebi.
The Pokemon franchise is keeping momentum high during its thirtieth anniversary year with a major quality of life update for modern players. According to GameRant, Nintendo has officially confirmed that Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen will receive full Pokemon Home compatibility on October 7, 2026. Players who complete the Kanto Pokex, excluding Mew, will automatically earn a free level 50 Celebi redeemable directly through the mobile version of Pokemon Home.
Alongside the long awaited integration, the Pokemon Home update brings a welcome infrastructure upgrade for serious collectors. Premium subscribers will see their storage limits bumped from six thousand to nine thousand total monsters. Transfers from FireRed and LeafGreen into Home will be a one way trip, and older classic titles will not accept inbound transfers from modern storage, keeping the economy and rules of the retro ecosystems intact.
This rollout arrives amid heavy community speculation regarding further classic ports for current Nintendo hardware. With generation ten rumored for late 2027 and anniversary celebrations in full swing across both physical TCG sets and digital spaces, giving players a streamlined way to preserve and showcase their classic team builds is a massive win for longtime fans and digital collectors alike.
