Additional Tips Gameplay Tips

SD Card: If your internal storage is low, consider using a microSD card. Nintendo Switch supports microSDXC cards, which can significantly increase your storage capacity.

Nintendo Account: Ensure you're logged into the correct Nintendo Account, as purchases are tied to the account, not the console.

Update the Game: If you've downloaded the game in advance or if there's an update available on launch day, make sure to update the game for the latest features and fixes.

DLC and Updates: Keep an eye on the eShop or the game's news channel for any downloadable content (DLC) or patches that might be released after the initial download.

Remember, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are exclusive to the Nintendo Switch, so you won't find legitimate downloads for other platforms. Always ensure you're downloading from official sources to avoid scams or pirated content.
