Sure thing! Here we go:

So, there’s this long-time Pokemon lover—yeah, like two decades kind of hardcore—who went through a pretty rough patch recently. You know how things go when you’re trying to move stuff to new gadgets? (I once lost all my vacation pics from 2015 doing that. Tragic, right? Anyway—) So, this fan was shifting all their cherished Pokemon over to a shiny new Nintendo Switch 2. Sounds straightforward? Nope, not this time.
Folks are buzzing about how Pokemon Scarlet and Violet shouldn’t mess up like this usually. But hey, maybe the stars just aligned terribly for this person. Poor soul. Warning flag for anyone still playing catch-up with hardware—I guess, tread lightly, friends.
Now, on June 5, Nintendo dropped the Switch 2, and it was like tossing fireworks into a gaming crowd. Kaboom! Sold over 3.5 million in just four days! (I mean, I still remember when my friend got one and wouldn’t shut up about it). And okay, maybe no fresh Pokemon goods on day one, but hold tight—Pokemon Legends: Z-A is coming in October.
Alright, so back to this person’s tale of despair. Picture this: you boot up your new console, full of hope and dreams, and bam! Language selection screen stares back at you. All those beloved Pokemon from back in your DS and Game Boy Advance days, poof! Gone. It’s like losing your childhood pet all over again. Some tech hiccup, who knows? The struggle is real, I tell ya.
And hey, others chimed in too – like, in solidarity or something. Some managed to recover their stuff, lucky ducks. Little tricks appeared, like pressing a combo of buttons to find a secret backup file (sounds like finding a cheat code under your bed), but for our poor fanatic, no dice. Some said, “Hey, get Nintendo Support on the horn!”, and some even said transferring games separately might help. Who knows, right?
But here’s a silver lining—kinda. Not everything was lost. Thanks to Pokemon Home (yeah, cloud storage, gotta love it), the player could still wrangle up their remaining Pokemon. But after losing the real keepers, their spirit’s kinda broken. People even offered to trade ’em some new Pokemon, but they’re like, “meh,” not feeling it right now.

So there you have it. Life throws a curveball, and sometimes all you can do is—well, wait for the next pitch!
