Over a thousand hours of gameplay lost on Nintendo Switch 2 \u2013 memories of monsters from the Game Boy Advance era are lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The drama that happened due to the console upgrade<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Reddit user under the nickname ThatOtaku26 shared a striking story. After switching to the new Nintendo Switch 2 console, he lost the save of the game Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet, where he collected rare Pok\u00e9mon, many of which he transferred from the games Leaf Green and Diamond. When the new console was launched, the game began from scratch \u2013 with the option to choose a language and create a character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The player noted that other games were successfully transferred without any difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Time and memories that cannot be returned<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fan spent over 1,000 hours collecting a unique set of Pok\u00e9mon, which he had invested a part of his heart in since the early 2000s when he began his journey playing on the Game Boy Advance. These data were not just numbers \u2013 they reflected his gaming history, a nearly two-decade journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I’m on the verge of a nervous breakdown,” the author of the post wrote, although he later decided to delete it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Solidarity from the community<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tragedy did not go unnoticed. Other Reddit users and Pok\u00e9mon fans expressed support, offering to exchange rare Pok\u00e9mon as well as their collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the author of the story emphasized that he was not asking for help – he just wanted to share his pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The importance of data backup<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This situation, using the example of ThatOtaku26, once again emphasizes the importance of making backup copies, especially for long saves and unique items in games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doubts about Nintendo’s new technology<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nintendo has not commented on this issue at the moment, but players are discussing possible reasons for the failure. Perhaps there was a glitch during the transfer of Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet, or something went wrong with the cloud save. Why this happened to this game remains unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many, Pok\u00e9mon is more than just a game; it’s a part of their lives. Losing such information due to a technical failure is a significant loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This case proves once again that even in virtual space, there is always a place for genuine compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Nintendo, this is another signal to review the reliability of data transfer mechanisms for new consoles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
