how-to-cancel-pokemon-home-premium-hero-

Pokémon HOME offers a lot of awesome features to help you trade into the service from a host of Pokémon games or to help you trade Pokémon with other users. Anyone who signs up for a premium subscription plan will be automatically enrolled in subscription renewal. If you’ve tested out the premium subscription and have decided it’s not for you, then you’re definitely going to want to cancel it. here’s how to do that.

How to cancel the premium Pokémon HOME subscription

You will need to cancel the subscription from the version you purchased it from. For instance, if you purchased Pokémon HOME premium from your Nintendo Switch, you won’t be able to cancel from the Pokémon HOME smartphone app. In this case, you can only cancel it from your Nintendo Switch.

  • Cancel on your phone
  • Cancel on your Nintendo Switch

Select Turn off Automatic Renewal on the right side of the screen. Note that if it doesn’t say Turn off Automatic Renewal, that you either didn’t sign up for automatic renewal, or that automatic renewal has already been turned off.

The premium subscription for Pokémon HOME isn’t for everyone. If you don’t forsee yourself using this service all that frequently then you likely won’t benefit much from the paid version. It’s a little strange that you can only cancel your subscription based on which version of the service (mobile or Nintendo Switch) you purchased it from, but that’s how it goes.

Additional Equipment

Your gaming sessions can be immensely improved by the proper gear. Here are some of my personal favorite accessories for the Nintendo Switch.
