Someone lost 20 years worth of Pokemon when trying to transfer data from Switch 1 to Switch 2 (web.archive.org)

I've never transferred Pokemon between gens and I've never used Pokemon Home, but it seems wild to me to be so invested into such a fickle storage system. Thoughts and prayers for the guy affected

Wow holy shit, I was really impressed back in the day when I moved my shiny Basculin from DS to 3DS, and would be devastated if I lost it trying to move it to Switch.

This is why I keep manual backups of my Pokemon saves whenever posible - Nintendo's cloud systems are so unreliable and there's no reason 20 years of collection should be at the mercy of a single transfer error.
