This should be in the troubleshooting forum.

Sadly, no there's nothing that can be done. This is why we always recommend you back up your save.

You can ask your fellow forum members for a save file around the same point you were at to continue the storyline, but it won't be your game. You can start a new game as well, but as for your old file, nothing can be done.

That might not be a corrupt save file though.

Please, do not double post. Use the edit button below the post to the right instead.

Upload your save file, I can help you maybe.

Well to late I already started a new game, but just for the future, how do you find the save file. I can't seem to find it.

Here's the fancy Forum FAQ I put together.

Q: How do I create multiple save files?

A: In the Pokemon Reborn Saved Games folder, rename your current save file something other than 'game.rxdata' such as 'game2.rxdata' and then upon restarting the game, you can start a new game without effecting your other game's progress.

My Computer > C: > Users > (Your Username) > Saved Games > Pokemon Reborn

it will be an .rxdata file.

For the future I would recommend you to back up your save, I do it after every gym.

I'm not sure if this'll work for your computer, but you can always try:

[Open the game up before you do this, or you'll just get a bunch of folders instead of files]

Right click the game file (the one with the pokeball thing) > Properties > Go on the "Previous Version" tab > Go to where your actual saved file of the game is (for me a folder with the computer user's name on it and "Saved Games") > Delete the old game.rxdata file and replace it with one of the previous versions (try multiples of them to see which one is closest to the original)

There is actually a fix for corrupted save files that someone found. Well, it's a potential fix anyway, I haven't tried it myself. Basically what you want to do is right click on the save file and then restore it to a previous version before it got corrupted.

That was me, Sheep.

I actually explained it in more detail here.

Serves me right for skim reading.
