Well, that sucks. Sorry to hear.

Do you have any other games with a complete dex or reserve shinies, or did you have pretty much everything important on the one game?

To make matters worse, Orton isn't going to lose to Jinder.

You're using Ian Garvey's name on the Internet, dude. He was the Red/Blue/Yellow Pokémon USA champion way back when Pokémon first started.

This is my worst fear in regards to any of my games as well. I don't know if I'd continue if I lost all of my work over the past several years.

The shines, hidden abilities and built teams are the worst things to lose...weeks of progress for nothing.

At least it can slowly be worked back. It's just something to do in your free time now. :)

Isn't there an app on the eShop that backs up save files on the memory card? You should've done that, then backed up the memory card too

Either way, you might new able to get your save files back using *censored* but don't count on it

I know how you feel TC. I clocked in almost a 1000 hours in MH4U. And then I system restored my system. So now I have my save data, but it's encrypted and I can't access it.

This is why you use save editors like PKhex. I've got multiple files backed up on my hard drives so even after I've started new games they're all still there.

Damn that sucks TC, excuse my ignorance, but I didnt even realize this could still happen on the DS/3DS Pokemon games, for some reason I thought it could only happen to gameboy advance/SP etc.

A couple years ago I had gone to US Pokemon Nationals and had my stuff in the staff area. My 3ds along with Pokemon Black 2 was stolen. I never got back everything, but at that time I was still actively playing Emerald to get all the symbols so some of my best Pokemon never were transferred over to it.

I remember years ago my cousin started a new Pokemon Gold game and saved over my save file with a couple hundred hours played. At least that can't happen in the recent games without explicitly deleting the file.

My biggest loss, however, was one of those multi-page memory cards (for the GameCube). The button to change pages stopped working, so I lost 3 out of the 4 pages (with 50 blocks each I think).

How do you even get 87 shinies? My understanding is that a certain third-party app is the main cause of saves being corrupted.

Anyway, I've seen suggestions to re-download the game or try to access the PC boxes from the Pokemon Bank. Also delete and re-download the update data. Some people have reported that this fixes it.

Pkhex? That definitely can cause corruptions a lot: I've had it happen twice.

It can also reload you to a state where the save isn't corrupted and automatically backs up where you last were.

Yeah. And it usually happens right after an official update. I'm thinking TC brought this on himself...

Nah it never happens after updates. It only happens if you do something stupid and mess with your trainer information.
Also saving in Pokemon centers for some reason. Though you could always reload to a clean file and pkhex automatically backs up the last time you saved so there would be no excuse if you're using PKhex

Shines can be quite easy to get with chaining but that's only for some wild Pokemon. Starters, legendaries etc...are a terrible loss.
