Alternatively, you can open Start and search %appdata% and it will take you to the same location. As we mentioned earlier you do need to be very careful when moving these files between computers because you may accidentally overwrite newer saves with older ones.

I’ve accidentally done this before and it’s not a lot of run having to restart things. Especially in Pokemon games which have a lot of random chance involved.

After you have copied all of the data across you don’t have to do anything else, just launch any of the games and the data will be there ready to use. It’s as simple as that. Happy gaming and don’t forget to check out our YouTube channel!
