I'm so confused, this seems like a string of really weird decisions
Op get a refund and save like 20-30 bucks buying the game from elsewhere with better quality control.
Edit: To make it perfectly clear since people can't differentiate, I ain't blaming OP at all. Gs is a shitty company who I wouldn't trust to provide free air. OP needs to get a refund and buy elsewhere from a company that will treat him better. My questions are just me personally being curious about what lead to picking gs in the first place given their reputation. It's not victim blaming and I dislike that I even have to make this disclaimer instead of being able to trust people to understand nuance
If you have multiple Nintendo switches in your household (read- kids) and everyone has their own account then buying digital doesn’t make sense. I don’t buy from GameStop as a rule because my local game shop is better in every way but I wouldn’t blame someone who bought from them as not every city has a thriving local game scene
I didn't think of having multiple kids and sharing the game since iirc pokemon only has one save file per cartridge, so you'd still need multiple copies, unless they finally changed that. But I do know lots of people like just having physical media anyways so I considered that. I ain't blaming the guy for what happened. He bought something with a clearly advertised expectation and gs bait and switched/scammed him and he needs to get a refund.
I'm just curious why they picked gs when there are other cheaper online alternatives and other brick and mortar stores offering it as well. Gs wouldn't be my first pick so Im just curious to get another persons perspective on why it was for them
Saves aren't on the cart on switch.
Oh that's pretty cool then. I didn't know it had changed and thought they still did it the old way with only 1 save per cart.
Wait does that mean you can make other profiles with their own save on the same switch? I would prefer if pokemon had their own multiple save feature implemented by now, but if that also works then it's still pretty cool to finally have multiple saves for the same device/cart
Yeah, one save file per profile. Which is kinda neat because you can have multiple profiles and receive event items on each save.
