Man, I don’t know why I’m even bothering to write this, but something about this whole mess just sticks with me. So there’s this Pokémon fan, goes by ThatOtaku26, who’s like absolutely gutted. We’re talkin’ 20 years of Pokémon data just poof, gone. This wasn’t just a couple of critters missing; we’re talking real, heart-wrenching loss here. And hey, it wasn’t even their fault. Strange Friday the 13th vibes or what?
So ThatOtaku26 spills it all on Reddit and, thankfully, someone caught it before it disappeared into the void. They were all like, “Data transfer went fine, but Scarlet’s gone.” Just imagine hitting start on the new console and bam, straight to language selection — like a sucker punch. All those hours, years really, poured into raising these little creatures, gone. Just like that.
I mean, yeah, not every Pokémon vanished into thin air — some soldiers survived. But of course, the ones they cared about most? Ghosted. And everyone on the thread was like, backing ’em up, saying stuff like “You’re not alone, buddy.” Some even offered trades or gifts. Sweet, but doesn’t really fix that immediate gut drop, does it?
And here’s where I get a bit sidetracked. You’d think folks would have backup plans, right? Especially when cloud saving isn’t an option. Nintendo’s got this fancy Pokémon Home thing for times like these, but I’m guessing not everyone got the memo.
Here’s the part that makes you go “Huh?” or shakes you a bit. The Nintendo Switch 2 is tearing it up in sales, everyone’s raving, but their reputation for protecting its stuff? Let’s just say it ain’t always pristine.
So yeah, I kinda just rambled on there. But seriously, if there’s one thing to snag from all this? Maybe… backup your stuff, or maybe just keep a close eye on those Friday the 13th superstitions. Who knows?
