So..
...even though the battery light was a bright red, I saved the game and it crashed. Now the save is predictably in a broken format and can't be read (at least without extra hardware).
I was rather enjoying my 10hr game, just before the SS Anne and grinding my 'karp to a Gyarados, with a recently evolved Sandslash.
I can see that there are save editors for use, but does anyone know if there are save builders - that put you in a particular location at a particular level with progression flags automatically set to your point in the story?
I can't say I'm big in to Pokémon lore - my introduction to the series was with Go - so some of the intricacies are beyond me but I'll faff with editors if I need to and import them into an Android emulator if it comes to that.
Thanks in advance!
Probably the closest you'd be able to find is a premade save from someone who took periodic save backups (untested example)and put that through a save editor to change the important details.
Although, like the other commenter suspected, you may see a repeat of the same issue.
Oh nice one yeah, never thought about someone's interim saves. I'd only done a cursory search and saw a couple of "ALL lv100 POKEMON INCLUDING MEWTWO!!1!" saves which are awesome but obviously have the game story completed by that point. I'll do some digging!
Thank you 👍
