\"Why<\/a>
Why use Wooloo as the lead image? Because it’s kind of cloud-like and we miss seeing its adorable face<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although it would have been a pretty safe guess regardless, it has been confirmed that Pok\u00e9mon Sword and Shield<\/strong><\/a> will not support cloud saves on Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n

The news comes from the eShop listing for the two games – pre-purchasing is now live (with a surprising bonus gift<\/a> for those in Europe) and we’ve already heard about the games’ file sizes<\/a>, but other details found on the page include the confirmation. Pok\u00e9mon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Let’s Go, Eevee!<\/strong><\/a> also lacked cloud support, so it would have been more surprising to see Sword and Shield support the feature, rather than not have it.<\/p>\n

As a side note, this means that the process becomes a little more tricky for anyone wanting to play the games on their original Switch and then continue playing on their Switch Lite. We do have a full guide on how to play games across the two systems<\/a>, so make sure to bookmark that if you think you’ll need the help.<\/p>\n

Nintendo issued an official statement<\/a> last year explaining why some games may not include cloud save support as standard; Pok\u00e9mon certainly meets the criteria for those which can’t be included.<\/p>\n
