The Pokémon franchise has always encouraged players to form close bonds with their digital companions, and the ability to transfer those Pokémon to later games has only helped strengthen those connections. Unfortunately, that also makes it hurt even more when Pokémon are lost due to an unfortunate circumstance, which is exactly what happened to Reddit user Weepinbells69. The poster recalled an unfortunate incident in 2014, in which she left her entire collection of Pokémon games in her now-husband’s car. The car was mugged, leading to her losing all of her progress in those games, as well as her beloved Shiny Weepinbell.
The full story can be found on the Reddit thread right here, while Weepinbells69’s post can be found in the image below.
Last year saw the launch of Pokemon Home, an application that allows players to bring their Pokémon from all the mainline Pokémon games (and some derivatives) in one place. The app is available on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, allowing gamers to trade and track their collection much easier than ever. For veteran gamers, the app has proven to be the perfect way to reconnect with their beloved Pokémon obtained in the first few games in the series. Those unfamiliar with the app can find more information on how it works here.
