The worst part of all this, as noted by Kotaku, is the fact that there is no single cause for this save-deleting bug that’s afflicting a handful of players. Some have reported it happening after connecting Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to the Pokemon GO app, others said it occurred after downloading the new DLC, and some have had a different experience entirely.
Another player’s save files became corrupted after simply purchasing the DLC, seeing them bid farewell to 90 shiny Pokemon, and they’re not the only one losing their hard work. Players that have lost their save data following connecting to Pokemon GO have been affected right after connecting to the service, or a while after, after sending postcards.
