Brief panic as there was a communication error and it corrupted my SS save.

THANKFULLY the DS era games basically make two saves so that if the main save goes it grabs the previous one.

BUT GOD that was a scary moment.

Also this is why DS era pokémon games couldn't have two save files unlike a lot of other DS era games.

'cus it was using the cart storage for additional saves to basically bounce between slot 1 and 2 to keep the data as secure as it can.

@DarkOverord pokemon games having only one save is also a tradition, though. like XD and Colosseum would only let you have one save file, you couldn't put two on the same memory card even if two could fit (gamecube memory cards came in lots of sizes)

@Felthry On one hand yes but on the other hand because the storage media is swapable I don't know if I'd consider the GCN "one per card" matter pushing more a tradition but more just wanting to slow down people farming the legendary pokémon

Like I say in contrast to literally effectively duplicating a large save file haha

@DarkOverord yeah copying saves on a gamecube is easy
