"To Nintendo From a Long time player."

Dear Nintendo. I have played since Pokemon Red was released. I played every single generation of Pokemon and loved them all (though not equally). I’ve spent thousands of hours in total in the previous gens training, breeding and collecting everything I could.This game has been no exception. If anything the beauty of this one was that it made high IV Pokemon much more able to be attained by the average player and has been a breeders paradise. I had clocked over 700 hours in this game so far. For the first time ever I completed a Pokédex.I even was able to transfer my old champions in my game and add them to my teams to fight my friends. I trained 60 ish Pokemon for a monotype gym challenge for my friends, each one with items movesets and EVs and IVs just how they needed to be. The effort and work I poured into this game is more than any gen before.Then, two days ago, as I travelled on the tube home, I was robbed. My bag snatched from me forcibly with my switch inside. I got home and was a wreck. I’m in a fine financial state and quickly ordered a new switch because the money is worth the time poured in. I redownloaded my games. I followed the tutorial to retrieve save data for games and saw all my main stay games data there (mario kart, hollow knight, Pokemon home, mario bros, Pokken tournament, undertale), except Pokemon Shield.I got robbed, everything was replaceable, except my time in that game. Everything I built and strove for. It seems childish to be crushed about a game but I have a stressful job and use this game to unwind and feel good about myself. Aaaaaand everything is gone because Pokemon Shield doesn’t support cloud saves. Event mews from gen 6. Shiny legendaries including the most recent Zeroara event. Even many of my old Pokemon that I have trained and had with me since Gen 4. Gone.Maybe this gets buried and no one cares, but I had to vent and I hope this is an okay place. If you read this far, thank you for sticking with me and I guess try to keep almost everything in Home and transfer in when you need it.Tldr: 700ish hours in Shield. Transferred all old Pokemon in/ event legends and trained many more. Got robbed. No cloud save support. Everything gone. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/32iuZ0w
