While we touched on this subject previously, in an interview with Jeuxvideo, director Shigeru Ohmori explained the decision to not have an Exp. Share item and instead have the functionality turned on. He told the site:

Earlier today, we heard about possible problems with Pokemon Sword/Shield and SD cards. It turns out that the issues do exist, but on the bright side, the situation can be addressed.
As previously reported, save files are unaffected. Data can be deleted by the glitch, but those that are affected may only end up losing screenshots. Games that were stored may also need to be downloaded again.

Just like with past entries, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield have serial codes players can redeem in-game. With such codes, players can receive cosmetic items in particular.

Rumor: Pokemon Sword/Shield full game download causing SD Card corruption
Posted on 4 years ago by Elias in Rumors, Switch | 0 comments
Players are reporting issues with a rather unfortunate problem: The digital release of Pokemon Sword and Shield seems to be corrupting SD card data when the game crashes. So far, it seems that any crash in the game could lead to the issue. While save files for games are stored on the Switch’s hardware, this could result in players needing to reformat their cards and redownload all of their games. Nintendo has not released any statement in regards to the problem, and there may not be enough data to really pinpoint the cause just yet.
If you’ve experienced this issue, leave a comment down below.
