Recovering Data. Is It Possible?

bobandbill, Jul 2: Yeah, that's the likely reason (or one of them) for it. That's also been the case for e.g. the GCN titles - you couldn't duplicate the save file to another memory card without the original being deleted, for example.

Eevee evolutuins

Fafrir, Jun 29: You'll have to use the item on Eevee instead of it holding it. That should give you Jolteon.

Thoughts on the Isle of Armor?

Fairy, Jun 28: I really wasn’t crazy about it at first but its grown on me quite a bit! I love that the whole place is a wild area, it’s cute that Pokémon can follow you again, and it feels like a very cohesive entry into the SWSH world. :) @Syd: talk to the...

Could more DLC be possible?
