It definitly doesn't. Saves are stored in the Switch itself so in case you're SD card gets corrupted, the most you'll lose are screenshots and recordings.

NegativeExponents- Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Apparently it's not just deleting save files but bricking consoles too. This is the game that keeps on giving, albeit it's only giving crap. 3 hours ago, Armagon said: FYI, this isn't a game problem. It appears this is an SD card problem specifcally with exFAT cards. If it's an SD card problem why is it only popping up now and only with pokemon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SwSh issue affects the SD card but the only thing you'll actually be losing are screenshots and recordings. Games downloaded to the SD card will simply need redownloading but the save data remains intact, as saves never go to the SD card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Dai said: Oh, gross. Posting Pokebestiality is worthy of a topic closing. And why does Wailord have those white dots on its back? They look gamete-y to me. The linked video is such a good comparison though. And as some posters on the vid pointed out, SwSh Wailord is a statue, it barely moves, while the other Wailords are heartily swaying around all with their mouth opening and closing, as the big jolly Pokemon should. Genius Sonority worked on Colosseum, XD, and Battle Revolution, all the glorious 3D games. They number only 22 currently, and I guess that might have been true back then too. If such a small handful of workers can with help from GF and others crank out such vibrant and scaled-properly models, graphics, and animations, why not rehire them? GS still has a Pokemon connection having worked on that awful Pokemon Shuffle. And the Colosseum/XD animations might have been improved Stadium ones, if true, then that means they could work on GF's XY animations.

I couldn't copy any of my data over, so I'm simply redownloading the game data. I won't be playing anything anyway, since I have work for the next few days, so it can simply redownload in sleep mode for the time being. Although...even wifi does it, too? Seriously, I know the exfat thing is more Nintendo's fault in this regard because this is a reoccuring bug, but jesus, this game really is the worst launch of a generation ever. I really wouldn't be surprised if they redirect everything to gen nine ahead of schedule or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I don't know what people really expected with Wailord's scaling in the game. It's honestly naturally so big that a number of them on the screen at once would just obscure the entire screen and that would be annoying. It's a bit weird to see it this much smaller than it really is, but I can see why this is the case. Anyway, I got my double pack today and I'm playing Sword right now. And enjoying it, actually! The Wild Area is so cool, and the cutscenes are so well done imo. Also, Leon, you're such a fun showoff. XD I actually really like him already! My team currently is: Fluff (Scorbunny) lv. 11 Alya (Nickit) lv. 10 Sabrina (Yamper) lv. 10 Kaalki (Mudbray) lv. 14 My nicknaming theme is Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir since that show is my current obsession. lol Fluff and Kaalki are two of the creatures known as kwamis, with the former being the rabbit and latter being the horse. Alya is the best friend of Marinette/Ladybug, and she also gets the fox Miraculous and becomes Rena Rouge. And in that form, she actually looks a lot like Nickit! lol Sabrina is the character speculated to eventually get the dog Miraculous, so that's why I named Yamper that. I intend to get the new ladybug Pokemon and name it Marinette, of course. And get a Purrloin/Liepard and name it Adrien, because Adrien is Cat Noir. Both Liepard and Nickit are Dark types, I'm aware. So I won't be using both on the final team, I'll just use one or the other. Dunno which yet. Of course, I also eventually want to trade for Galarian Ponyta. 😛 I think I'll get a female and name that one Rose because Rose in Miraculous was seen with a unicorn plush toy at one point. ...Despite there's a character in this game named Rose too. I still don't get why that's the chairman guy's name. Rose is a female name... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A) The problem is, is that it looks so silly now that we're on a bigger screen, with an in-game gimmick that makes things bigger than Wailord. Not to mention... Look at all this extra space. There's even more shots like that. They could feasibly just use camera angles and split screen if Wailord started to block too much, like they did with previous games. B) Chances are, Rose is his surname. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuibangde Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Honestly...this game plays fine. Like a typical pokemon game...nothing amazing but it isn't the worst game of 2019 like how some people are making it out to be. You can criticize how Gamefreak handled the game in terms of the decisions they made and the PR, but objectively speaking, the game itself honestly isn't that bad. Also...are people really that bothered about the size of Wailord lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler ETERNATUS Is even larger than Wailord, but he's made to appear smaller. It's just like...why bother adding Pokemon that large, if you're not going to keep them this way?

Also...are people really that bothered about the size of Wailord lmao Imo that's part of the problem. Mario, Zelda and even FE have had Switch games that change things up. The last big Pokemon change was 6 years ago and that was going 3D which is something most other franchises have done a lot sooner and even better. As for the Wailord thing, yes that's a small thing obviously but some people wanted more from the first mainline console game. Mind you, Wailord actually looks good in Pokemon Battle Revolution and that was on the Wii and made by another developer.

Also...are people really that bothered about the size of Wailord lmao The game isn't the worst game in existence but it's not amazing. Why settle for mediocrity when, as Strullemia has said, pretty much every othe Nintendo games (I'd add Luigi's Mansion to that list btw) went above and beyond to change and improve when they made their jump over to Switch? I don't think most people really care about Wailord but when GF says they're cutting content and gives improves graphics as one of the reasons then people are gonna obviously scrutinize that aspect call out their bs when they don't deliver. ------------ Anyways, onto a more positive note, I really like most of the characters in this game. Even Hop and Sonia with their annoying stopping you every 3 steps are ok. At least it's not like XY where I can barely remember anyone, especially by name, outside of Karina. Raihan is a favorite for sure. I like a good narcissist and everything he does is so extra (except his gym challenge unfortunately) Cockily taking selfies in the stadium: Spoiler My final team ended up being: Ardio (Cinderace) lv 62 Akane (Perrserker) lv 62 Hertz (Obstagoon) lv 62 Heinwald (Indeedee) lv 63 Amanto (Grimmsnarl) lv 62 Manic (Amped Toxtricity) lv 61 Minor screen change spoilers: Spoiler Crappy quality because felt too lazy too transfer Switch screenshot. I was way over leveled for everything except Leon who actually had pokemon higher than me (levels 64 for all of them except Charizard at 65 iirc) Wish the other trainers would have been properly scaled too instead of constantly battling pokemon 5 - 10 levels lower for most of the game. I might still get a legit used copy of Shield just to be able to play with friends. 20 hours ago, Anacybele said: I still don't get why that's the chairman guy's name. Rose is a female name...
