The update quietly introduced something new: digital medals that players can trade. At first glance, it seemed like a simple and fun addition.
But digging into the fine print reveals a much bigger story. It could be a game-changing move for Sui and the entire industry.
Parasol, Sui, and the Hidden Blockchain Shift Behind Pokémon HOME
A new name, Parasol Technologies, appeared in the updated Pokémon HOME privacy policy. It turns out Parasol isn’t just another software partner. They’re owned by Mysten Labs, the powerhouse behind Sui. Even stranger: Parasol is only mentioned in the English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian privacy policies — not the Japanese, Korean, or Chinese versions. In those, only familiar names like ILCA and The Pokémon Company are listed. Adding to the mystery, an early blog post from Mysten Labs today initially mentioned Pokémon by name in connection with Parasol. But, it was quickly edited to remove the reference.
Parasol Technologies, described as a “team of Japanese and American gaming experts,” was quietly acquired by Mysten Labs in March 2025. They build blockchain-powered gaming tools, digital marketplaces, and NFT infrastructure. All a perfect fit for a world where digital Pokémon medals could evolve into real blockchain assets.

This kind of silent rollout mirrors broader industry trends. Take Square Enix, the gaming giant behind Final Fantasy, which began integrating blockchain elements into games like Symbiogenesis without much fanfare. Gamers are becoming owners, and collectibles are becoming assets — a shift that’s quietly reshaping digital economies.
With Parasol’s quiet entrance, Pokémon may be dipping a toe into blockchain without alarming its traditionally cautious fanbase. If tradable medals turn into verifiable NFTs down the line, it could mark a huge shift not just for Pokémon, but for how mainstream franchises embrace digital ownership.

So, investors can now access it through a familiar investment vehicle. The Trust’s shares track the market price of SUI, minus fees and expenses. This allows investors to participate in Sui’s growth more simply and securely, without the need to manage digital assets themselves.
