I’ve never transferred Pokemon between gens and I’ve never used Pokemon Home, but it seems wild to me to be so invested into such a fickle storage system. Thoughts and prayers for the guy affected

    That really hurts. I lost so many save files back then from cartridges where battery dies (or cart was sold) and from memory card corruption or other problems on the Playstation. Even today I lost save files because of HD problems (Steam games without Cloud Save or Emulator saves which I did not backup).

    But nothing compares to a save file with thousand of hours and 20 years of managing it. Man, reading this I feel so sorry and sad for this person. Thanks Nintendo. That happens if you don’t let people access save files directly and let them backup at least offline.

      Problem is that they would still need to have some kind of authentication to avoid offline backups becoming clone factories. I used to give away Mews and Celebis by trading them and then restoring my cart’s SRAM with a portable backup device.
