Also pokemon does not support cloud saves i think (saw it on google).

You can transfer if you have a Nintendo switch online membership and save it to the data cloud. If you download on the eshop you don’t have to worry but game card, you have to send to the data cloud or you transfer all your Pokémon to Pokémon home. Pokémon. home is linked to your account/email.

Hope I helped

BDSP isn’t connected to home, and I’m pretty sure Pokémon games aren’t compatible with the cloud

Answer 1

I risked it and here are the results.

First, I set it up with the same Nintendo ID I use. Once both Switches have the same Nintendo ID, I went to Settings -> Data Management -> Transfer Your Save Data and then sent Pokémon to my OLED. I have my save data on my new switch now. Everything works as it should, and nothing was lost.
