Based on the Emboar in his party, he must’ve begun his journey with a Tepig.
The player’s name is Travis - and if his playtime wasn’t proof enough, Travis must have really enjoyed his time with White. While I wasn’t present for any of this person’s 96 hours and 32 minutes of playtime, I can make some inferences based on what they left behind. The Pokemon White save that still sits on the cartridge as I write this article tells the story of someone who once journeyed through the Unova region. I was reminded of an aspect of physical games that’s long gone thanks to technical advancements. But as I inserted the game into my 3DS, I realized an old save file was still left on the cartridge. So, when I found another copy sitting in the establishment at an inflated price, it seemed like the perfect chance to fill the empty space in my Pokemon collection. I hadn’t the slightest clue where it went. The case has sat on my shelf for years, but the actual cartridge that should’ve been safely inside went missing.
Sometime in the past ten years since Pokemon Black & White launched in 2011, my copy of the DS game vanished from my collection. But when I arrived at the store, I saw it had a pre-owned copy of an old game I’d been meaning to repurchase: Pokemon White.
After I verified my Pokemon Shield data, along with my Raichu and all his friends, were safely on my OLED’s bigger and prettier screen, I formatted my old system and took it to GameStop. Even though I know Switch cartridges don’t hold save files like Game Boy and DS games, it was still a weird moment of cognitive dissonance to wrap my head around my Pokemon being attached to my Switch profile and not the games in my Switch case. My main concern was getting my files for the system’s various Pokemon games transferred. I managed to track down an OLED Switch model this past week, and as such, had to move all my saved data from my old system to my shiny new one.
