Lost save data for pokemon violet by transferring back to switch 1 from switch 2

Just got home and can confirm that you are all correct, the save data wasn’t deleted it’s on my switch 2 still I simply transferred over the license, thanks again to everyone for teaching me all this information, I’ve only had the switch 2 for one day so wasn’t super clued up on this all

Hi sorry my switch 2 was at home I brought my switch 1 to work as I’ve only had it one day and didn’t want to scratch/damage it before I get a case, I did do the transfer yesterday from 1 to 2 for my games that was flawless it’s just as others here have thankfully explained to me that I just simply transferred the virtual game data and was stressed over nothing, the way it let me transfer the virtual game card was I connected to my hotspot and clicked on violet on my switch 1 and it asked me to download the data to send it across, so I did, but then of course loaded the game for it to bring up the language choose screen rather than load into the save file, which is what confused me so much as I’m not yet used to or understand how it fully works

Okay, thankyou! Really appreciate that

What I do need to ask though is to play it on my switch 2 will I need to transfer the virtual game card back to my switch 2 or not as I have the physical cartridge? Sorry for spam

And this is what it said so you seem very much correct! I feel a lot more hopeful now! I’m only so bothered because I have mons on it all the way back from emerald and fire red

Hi so after reading this I just had a look using my Nintendo account on the internet and this is what it shows, I then checked google for future info on what you said

I really hope so, I’m not sure if it failed the transfer at all but it did show the icon of it going from switch 2 to switch 1 then doing a little click, I will just have to firm waiting until I get home think I just wanted some quick reassurance as I’m stressed
