Haunting Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet players, the game crashes in the middle of the game, quite numerous on the new Game Freak title. We explain how to recover your backup after a crash.
Although Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet offer us an extremely fun adventure, with many novelties and original concepts, the two games remain extremely unstable on Nintendo Switch. A situation that results in many bugs, glitch, even crashes for some players, and this by losing a recent save of their game. Especially since the automatic saving of the game must sometimes be deactivated to allow different activities, such as hunting Pokémon Shiny for example. But the good news is that it’s still possible to recover a save, even after Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple crash. We explain how to do it.
Your progress is saved no matter what in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple, in the form of a “backup save”, an emergency backup that is in the game files. The only concern is to restore it to allow you to resume your current game. However, it is a completely possible manipulation! All you need to do is press three keys at the same time once you are in the game menu.
This key combination will automatically restore your save, even if you have disabled autosave in the game settings. Indeed, manual saving is the best way to react instantly if you come across a particular event. In the case of a hunt for Chromatic Pokémon, for example, if you see your precious prey in the distance, you will have to systematically save your progress manually to maximize your chances of capturing it. By the way, if you want to learn how to effectively capture Chromatic Pokémon (Shiny) in Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Purple, do not hesitate to consult our little guide just above.
