Switch 2 transfer erased Pokémon player's data

A Pokémon player lost over 1,000 hours of gameplay and two decades of data after transferring their game data to the new Nintendo Switch 2. The user reported their Pokémon Scarlet save file was completely erased during the transfer process. The affected player, along with others, reported the loss of save data after transferring from the original Switch. The issue appears to impact Pokémon Scarlet and potentially other games, including The Legend of Zelda titles. Players are advised to back up their Pokémon data using the Pokémon Home app before transferring to the Switch 2 to prevent potential data loss.
