Kon Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 So, after five years of playing my Pokémon Pearl Version without restarting it even once, without warning it just erased its data. No "Your game has been erased due to corruption or damage." message or anything, as if it had gone through a factory reset. Hundreds of Pokémon, teams from playthroughs of other games, nearly all of the few Shinies I've ever found, dozens of normal and event legendaries and my Japanese Ditto lost just like that. What's worse is that this was right after trading 19 Pokémon from SoulSilver to Pearl so my brother-in-law could borrow it and start a new game. I kind of have this delusion that it may decide to restore itself, but I know that's most likely not happening. This sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamanoir Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I recently lost my White cartridge on vacation, and I once erased a Red Version, with the 150 Pokemon in. There are really terrible moments... Sorry for your loss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gideon Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I am sorry to hear of your loss; I am getting a copy of Pokèmon White later today (and Black 2 on Boxing Day); so if you find yourself in need of certain Pokèmon, please do tell.

Book of Ereshkigal Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 You cleaned it, and all that, right? It could be a connector issue. But I've only had that happen with GBA games. Worth a shot, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondworld Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 This is exactly what happened to my Pokemon Black cartridge a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melonhead Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Once lost my Diamond version to something similar. Stuff like this gets pretty annoying after a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comet Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 RIP shiny pokemon. I'm still looking for my platinum version with my shiny palkia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kon Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks you guys. I did try cleaning the cartridge and the DS slot, but it didn't do anything. I'm really sad I'll never see my Shiny Umbreon, Kiern, again. ;-; Um, actually, would anyone be interested in donating some Pokémon eggs? I'd like to do something different for when I start over Pearl, so why not a Random Egg Run? You can send me over whatever you want, as long as the egg isn't hacked or a derp (at least not a whole team of derps). As soon as I get it I'll edit this post with my Friend Code so I can trade. EDIT: Got distracted by my new game, Pokémon Conquest, whoops. ^^; FC: 5158-1690-5341 Edited December 24, 2012 by Kon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
