On my CFW switch i've got a pokemon scarlet (legit copy) but the dlc i've got through not so legal ways.

If i transfer this file to my OFW switch, would I get banned?

Would buying the dlc on my OFW switch resolve this?

And what things should i look out for when transfering saves from OFW to CFW and vice versa.

Im going to buy a new second hand switch, but i'd first like to get as much information as possible.

How do you plan on moving save files? Is your CFW switch online and downloading / uploading cloud saves ?

Some info on the CFW:

- My CFW swtich is the v1 switch and i'm making use of the RCM jig to boot into the CFW.

- I've played several games on this switch, legit(by purchasing the game chip) and non-legit.
- For example I do have a legit (copy) cartridge of pokemon shield but not the DLC.
- I have used it offline and have not been online with it, it is unbanned currently. I've booted it up once online and had no issues.

- My saves are NOT stored on any cloud. only locally and the sd card
- It is not updated to the latest switch and atmosphere version
- I plan do plan on updating to the latest atmosphere version and updating the switch to the latest version to perform the data transfer, as OFW won't let me data transfer otherwise.

Some info on the OFW:

It is a switch lite, that does go online and I just play pokemon games on there to kill time.
It's updated to the latest switch version.

What I plan on doing:

- Since the data transfer can be done offline, I am planning on purchasing the DLC on the CFW before the data transfer, boot up the save file and save in a legit area (in pokemon scarlet).

- Data transfer cannot happen as the CFW switch and the OFW switch have a difference in system versions, I need to update the CFW switch to the latest system and atmosphere version.

- Another option I can do is, purchase another switch and try these methods. It will cost a bit, but hey before I think about spending money I might as well gather as much information as I can, once I do have enough information I'll purchase a switch and try it out.

This might get you banned as dlc's are just games/applications and the Switch sees you will have illegal content on your OFW switch.
Hmmm....read the above and tell me what you think
