So I was playing Pokemon Y (keep in mind I have a physical copy instead of the eShop download version) last night on the Battle Spot. After finishing a battle and exiting Battle Spot, I turned off my game. I've turned off my game plenty of times after doing something online-related, such as trading or battling. I also made sure the game wasn't in the middle of a save. All seemed well. Then I turned on my game later on that same night, and suddenly I got and have been continuing to recieve this message at the game's startup rather than the actual intro:The saved game data is corrupted. Refer to the electronic manuel for details. And at the bottom of the screen it says "Ver 1.2" which I believe is the latest patch.
I've gone to the manuel, but the only suggestion I'm getting is how to delete the save file completelty and restart the game from the beginning. Now, I wouldn't mind this except for the fact that I have over 300 hours invested in this game, along with much progress and information. Are there any actual ways to solve this situation? I mean, I've tried making sure the game cartridge/ slot is clean, tried turning the 3ds on and off again, and even starting up without the SD card inserted.
