#About a possible fix for playtime

Hello! A few days ago I got my Nintendo Switch 2 back from repair, and since it was completely reset to factory settings, I lost all my Pokémon save data. So even though I still have my Switch 1, because I’d already lost everything, I just set up the console myself without doing a data transfer (I don’t really use the Switch 1 anyway, so…).

The thing is, I’ve run into an issue where the playtime on my Switch 2 (I noticed it with Pokémon Violet) doesn’t seem to update unless I have more hours on this console than on the other one? Or something like that. For example, my profile shows 70 hours, but if I check the Nintendo Store app, it shows 80-something hours.

Would it be possible to fix this by transferring system
data from my Switch 2 to my Switch 1 (so I don’t lose my current Pokémon Violet progress, and also my Animal Crossing island), and then transferring everything back from the Switch 1 to the Switch 2? I know it sounds a bit confusing, but has anyone tried this? That way I would have done a proper system transfer and maybe the playtime would update… I’m not sure if that makes sense, but yeah.

Thank you very much!

You can transfer saves by pressing plus over the game then go to data management then transfer your save data

Also it's sad that Pokemon doesn't support cloud backups

Wish I could use it but it's not available in my region
