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

    Another case of piracy having far superior user experience compared to the legal, honest way of playing the game, not because piracy is intrinsically better but because the publisher deliberately makes the official experience as inconvenient and exploitative as possible.

    I used to have a git repo in my emulator’s save directory so I could have checkpoints that I can restore to if I ever get stuck.

      Yeah it is pretty bad when an emulator offers a better experience than even a modded Switch.

      Easy to load your choice of directory sync tool (i.e. NextCloud Sync Client/Synology Drive Client/etc, or Google Drive/OneDrive if you are on Windows) pointed at your emulators save directory and have your own automatic cloud sync that you have full control over, built in versioning, the works.
