    If you have multiple Nintendo switches in your household (read- kids) and everyone has their own account then buying digital doesn’t make sense. I don’t buy from GameStop as a rule because my local game shop is better in every way but I wouldn’t blame someone who bought from them as not every city has a thriving local game scene

      I didn’t think of having multiple kids and sharing the game since iirc pokemon only has one save file per cartridge, so you’d still need multiple copies, unless they finally changed that. But I do know lots of people like just having physical media anyways so I considered that. I ain’t blaming the guy for what happened. He bought something with a clearly advertised expectation and gs bait and switched/scammed him and he needs to get a refund.

      I’m just curious why they picked gs when there are other cheaper online alternatives and other brick and mortar stores offering it as well. Gs wouldn’t be my first pick so Im just curious to get another persons perspective on why it was for them

          Oh that’s pretty cool then. I didn’t know it had changed and thought they still did it the old way with only 1 save per cart.

          Wait does that mean you can make other profiles with their own save on the same switch? I would prefer if pokemon had their own multiple save feature implemented by now, but if that also works then it’s still pretty cool to finally have multiple saves for the same device/cart

            Yeah, one save file per profile. Which is kinda neat because you can have multiple profiles and receive event items on each save.
